one piece of advice i can share as a parent: certain phases can be really tough, but they do pass. around 18 months my son kept demanding that i condemn hasan piker. all day and night too, i was at the end of my rope. now he’s really into fire trucks. it’s always something new

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

im sorry but we dont have to "deliver" democrats anything. they have to deliver US reasons to vote for them in droves. if you seriously believe that friend of Charlie Kirk Gavin Newsom will arrest anyone in MAGA, expand the supreme court, etc even with 60 senate votes, you are wrong.

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

DON’T lose sight of (3), (4). There will be dozen op-eds when Trump loses abt “SCOTUS finds its independence” or such nonsense. Think Roberts was often good at producing just enough outcomes like this to maintain a favorable narrative while consistently doing real harm to democracy. Don’t bite.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

people are aware that america isn't even really a democracy, right? its a republic. we "elect" a handful of representatives, and those rich, corrupt individuals make all of our decisions for us we don't vote on anything meaningful, only what they allow us to. that's not a democratic government.

Last night at the #DataCenters meeting in Claremore, Darren Blanchard, who has attended most of these meetings around NE Oklahoma & has some pretty impressive FOIA/ORA skills, was arrested after going over his 3 min. allotted speaking time. First arrest I've seen at one of these.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

It’s like a rule if you write for the Atlantic you have to say everything MAGA does is actually the left’s fault because they’re a bunch of toddlers who don’t know any better, and the left are these annoying know-it-alls that centrists have to scold into compliance for the sake of… something.

This is entirely to place these gestapo agents so they will be in position to harass and interfere in the upcoming midterm elections, with massive gop losses predicted, this will be their move. www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

When an ICE agent confronts you is "when your due process ends," says the member of Congress from the largest border district. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
“Training’s not going to fix this,” said Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas). “This is really going to be a deescalation of people thinking they can harm agents or get away or evade. It has to be a point where people understand when they’re being confronted by an ICE agent, that’s at the end of the road. That’s not the beginning of the due process, it’s the end of the due process.”

Communities are rising up to stand against agents of the state roaming the streets and going door to door kidnapping everyone from children to elders and the best these losers can come up with is to not fight back because it may lead to some other violence. Cowards through and through.

Coo coo
We see two house sparrows drinking out of a puddle. The male says to the female: "Good puddle!" to which she replies "I love you but you have low standards". Pigeons arrive in the background, the female says "Ope! Here comes the herd" There is a long horizontal frame of the two sparrows in the midst of a bunch of pigeons cooing around them. The male then says "gentle giants" the female agrees "mhm" and then says "coo" and the male responds "haha. coo!"

I mean, if you're talking about buying dry beans, rice, and whole heads of cabbage in bulk--yeah, maybe it could even be a bit cheaper. But that's not the healthiest way to live and certainly isn't good for the soul in the "richest country in the world"
