Trump's continued attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social the Somali American community, & our Muslim neighbors are a heinous attempt to distract from his complete & utter failure as president. Every American should be chilled to the bone: these are the actions of a dictatorship not a democracy.
Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s D.C. home

The search appears to be the type of action that law enforcement officials typically avoided so close to an election in the past.

The minority in congress has few levers to pull and mainstream media doesn’t cover it. We have many candidates (new and established ) who will take the fight to Trump. We need to vote to make that happen. FYI: Trump was impeached twice when Speaker Pelosi & the Democrats had control of the House.

Totally agree, but that is a very low bar. Trump is a demented, deranged moron. Unfortunately, he’s also one of the most powerful people in the world (have to include his puppet masters) — very scary for humans worldwide. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

There have been Irish gangs, Russian gangs, and Italian gangs, for example. Somali gangs are no more representative of their communities than those others were.

If you want to know who Jon Husted is fighting for, just look at who’s fighting for him: -$116,000 from an Epstein Co-Conspirator -$175,000 from Big Oil -$636,000 from the data center industry -$679,00 from health insurance companies -$3.5 million from FirstEnergy -$30 million from Big Tech

The climate refugees will trigger the xenophobic nationalists. I don’t know how we protect the planet and its most vulnerable inhabitants — flora and fauna — at this point.

Notes: the part about my mom not being enlightened was Lucy’s opinion, not mine. If you want a dog who will lay at your side well past your last breath, get a Golden Retriever. There are other breeds and individuals that will act that way, but 99% of Goldens are pure love.

I adore Lhasa Apsos, but they can be very self-absorbed. Legend says that Lhasas are Buddhist monks between lives, so the cycle of birth, death, & rebirth isn’t a big deal. To my dog, Lucy, grandma was about to transform into a beautiful dog—not a Lhasa because my mom wasn’t enlightened (Bodhi). 🪷

The nurse said that “animals know.” So I lifted her on the bed. She walked over my mom and greeted the nurse. Fortunately, she was a 20 pound Lhasa Apso and not a Great Dane… LOL

A real quote or not… it depends on the dog. My mom was actively dying in a bed in my living room. I was on one side of the bed & the hospice nurse was on the other. My dog acted like she wanted to get on the bed.

Senator Jon Husted is in the pockets of the health insurance companies that are ripping you off. When I’m elected, I’ll take on the corruption in the health insurance industry and ban them from denying the care you pay for.

Horrible and very sad for the lab tech, but I wonder what kind of biohazard controls they had? Do the Russians use glass tubes? That they carry around in the open?

Though hard to believe, Tom Cotton is right. Permanent Standard Time is the healthiest choice. DST is counter to our circadian rhythms. We are wired to be wakeful during daylight and sleep in the dark. A permanently jet-lagged populace is only good for retailers.

We had friends who had two daughters and a GSD. Youngest (~8 yo) went into their backyard pool alone. She wasn’t supposed to do that. The dog pulled her out of the pool — he grabbed her by the hair and pulled. Scared the kid, but she wasn’t injured; the parents thought he was protecting her.

I think President Kennedy would call his bluff. If Trump tears it down, we can rebuild. Put a museum in the new Center with the history of the performances and Kennedy Center Honors over the years. Last panel is that the original was torn down by a wannabe dictator who died while in exile in Russia.

I don’t think you know what genocide is. My survival depends on Democrats controlling the government. I’m a queer triply neurodivergent person in my early 60s. GOP & conservative Christians wanted me dead as a kid & they want me dead now, but I’m not competing against a Hispanic baby for survival.

The primaries are over. Plus, there are agents at work who want to divide progressives and they are loving this drama. I admit that I’m desperate to see Democrats win because we’ve already lost so much over the past decade, but, as history tells us, it can get worse.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t fight for trans rights. I’m saying that if your choice is between a Democrat (who won their primary) & a Republican, vote for the Democrat who will get you closer to all of your goals. If they don’t change their stance over the course of their term, then primary them

I’m not saying that things aren’t dire for trans people right now, but there are existential threats that need to be dealt with—people in concentration camps, worsening climate crisis. We can’t fight for trans rights if we’re extinct (I don’t think that is hyperbolic).

And? They’re trying to avoid turning off middle of the road, but **mildly** racist and misogynistic voters. Who else do they want to keep their distance? Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, AOC, … She is not toxic or unlikable.

A Jewish Israeli genocide scholar says Gaza meets the criteria for genocide, but what does he know? The people in Gaza are starving while trapped in a shooting gallery. The Christian and Muslim Palestinians in the West Bank are being driven from their land and murdered (ethnic cleansing).

I was going to say that the cost to tear it down will be a minuscule fraction of the cost to build it because people will volunteer to do it. Unfortunately, I’m a Democrat, so I started worrying about people getting hurt. It is awfully tall… Goddamn empathy.

I think it depends on the jurisdiction, but helping people by taking their ballots to drop boxes could be helpful. Helping people get to the polls with ride shares.

I would guess that part of the reason is because Republicans limit hours and polling places in Democratic districts. They really are evil.

Ukrainian tennis players don’t shake hands with Russians — you think they want to be teammates with them? It is a symbol of solidarity with their fellow citizens at home being bombed — even when they are friends with individual Russians and Belarusians.

It’s #Lake_Ontario MFers. Reported error to Apple Maps. I’ve been all in on #Apple for 4 decades—got my first Mac in 1986. I was planning to update at least 3 of my 11 current Apple devices when the updated models begin releasing next week. I guess they don’t need my money or care about my loyalty.
Screenshot of an error report to Apple Maps stating that the name of Lake Ontario predates Canada and the United States and can’t be changed by a mentally unstable, fascistic wannabe dictator.

You are terminally ill when going into hospice, but timing is often uncertain. Especially for the elderly, it seems that all of their systems are shutting down and then they stabilize. Then something else goes wrong. I expected my mom to spend 6+ months in home hospice, but she died in 6 weeks.

How do you decide to linger? Why would you DECIDE to linger when your body is shutting down? My mom would have lingered if she could have. She died in February, but was making plans for the following Christmas.

The bigots are using this to overturn Title IX. Watch the WNBA draft & you see strong women. Some are in dresses & high heels; some are in suits & ties. After people learn that there are 0 trans women in the W, they will target gender nonconforming women. Stop the assault on marginalized people.

Theft of immigrants belongings has been done before, so I wouldn’t doubt it. Japanese immigrants and their American children lost most of their belongings & property when they were rounded up and put in internment camps. It is disgusting and disgraceful.

As a former pediatric infectious diseases researcher, I was horrified. Having my radio shows rail against RFK Jr while promoting this garbage put my brain in a “does not compute… hypocrites!” loop. How can they put chewable ivermectin in a kit intended for kids in the US?

The Wellness Company’s started advertising their “Medical Emergency Kit” on progressive radio shows. Their pitch was horrifying due to a flowchart of symptoms that people could look at and then choose one of the included drugs. Laryngitis? Take Z-Pak. WTF? The peds kit had chewable ivermectin!
