My favorite thing about Frog and Toad is that it is the story of two men deeply and obviously in love with one another, drawn as a tribute to his lifelong partner by a gay man long before their relationship was socially sanctioned.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Qatar not just winning but crushing their rivals into submission is probably the best way for PSG to finally win the Champions League. That level of state power that has been brought to bear on the global game cannot be explained by a tight 2-1 as it can by a 5-0 Champions League final demolition

Qatar win the European Cup. An absurd sentence, but a farce of a match, that was an exhibition of superior power - in multiple senses The record scoreline symbolised the scale of football's issues You can be happy for Luis Enrique and concerned for this www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Donald Trump just issued a presidential directive calling for a federal investigation into ActBlue—the platform that powers grassroots donations to campaigns like mine. Let’s talk about what this actually means. 🧵

this is truly now a Bay Area tradition, I was part of this one in 2017 and if I remember correctly, the first one was IMPEACH during the Bush administration, maybe 2006 or 7? the organizer (same guy still doing it now) was a parent at my elementary school

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Despite what you’ve probably heard, Trump’s immigration agenda isn’t actually popular. While Americans sometimes approve of “the way he is handling immigration” in abstract, they are very negative on the details. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-imm...

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Deporting people means a judge signs a final deportation order, and the person is returned to their own country. What we are doing is kidnapping a person off the street and paying for them to be held indefinitely in concentration camps outside US courts' jurisdiction. 100% deliberately extralegal.

Really good night for Dems. Rs passed the WI voter ID amendment, but it didn't - as they hoped - transform turnout for Schimel. Ds hold WI court, hold WI superintendent of public instruction, flip a number of mayoral offices in IL. Rs hold FL House seats but margin down by half since 2024.

What has DOGE done? - Fired the people tasked with keeping Americans safe from the bird flu. - Gutted the IRS workforce during filing season. - Fired the FAA workers who make sure it’s safe for us to fly in planes. Does that sound like efficiency to you?

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST).

For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming.

Thank you for your service”
