.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency? Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.

This little secretary desk has lived many lives already. It started as 1970s wood-look formica in my grandma’s house, and now it’s an installed piece in our basement library. It went from Grandma’s to my sister’s, where it was scuff sanded and painted midcentury-mustard.
A small secretary desk is tucked into a wall next to a doorway. There are construction materials to its right and paint and stain cans on the floor. 
The desk and the walls are painted the same color: Sherwin Williams Riverway, and the desk has two brass knobs and a brass handle.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true. Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that. It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

This is not about "left" vs "right" anymore — and it hasn't been for a long time. The oligarchy feels safer if people split along the old “left” vs.“right” battle lines, so they won’t notice they’re being shafted and won't join together to fight back.

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.

What makes a science superpower? Funding, freedom, and the world’s brightest minds. You can’t lead the world in science while banning immigrants and defunding discovery. The Trump admin is sabatoging the future of U.S. science. zurl.co/7P2av

Is the US losing its place as the world leader in science?
Will the double whammy of cracking down on immigrants and defunding research weaken the US as a research hub?

“A peaceful protest, and this is what we’re greeted with. Where’s our right to protest?” As Governor Newsom says, they want violence and a spectacle. Imagine the reaction if Biden sent thousands of National Guardsmen and Blackhawks to Tennessee against Gov Lee’s wishes.

Adama says this in Battlestar Galactica: “There’s a reason you separate the military and the police. One fights the enemy of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.” This is why.

the GOP budget bill strips trans healthcare from hundreds of thousands of trans people (& allows that care for cis people). contact your senator; tell them to kill that part of the bill! did you know utah’s GOP produced a great case for *preserving* that care? clear & quick summary in the link!🧵

Three down, one to go. With how our lot is graded and the snow switch we get in MN (either a TON or basically none) the past several years, we decided the best course of action three years ago was to swap all non-egress windows to glass block. None have great views, but these are water tight.
A glass block window is installed in an unfinished wall opening.
