As someone who went to school in Moscow, ID, I can tell you this: It is absolutely batshit that Doug Wilson has been allowed any influence or proximity to power in this country. Republicans can always be relied upon to uplift predators and those who protect them.

If there is one thing I’ve learned is that if a project is struggling, adding a bunch of new trainees always helps, especially if they’re being paid and you’re not, and they’re the reason you’re not being paid

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

Even in Elon Musk’s denial of his involvement with Epstein—which directly contradicts the available evidence—the world’s richest man is still claiming he knew all about “pedo island” and didn’t do anything to stop it. Even in their fantasies of innocence they’re still directly enabling child abuse

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Literally EVERYTHING else aside: Officers involved in shootings - even shootings that everybody agrees were justified - always take time off to emotionally process their experience, go to therapy, process it. Sending somebody right back out says "this is an everyday part of your job, expect it."

Having now finished Paradise I have to ask why nobody told me about this show. I thought it was a political thriller from the ads and was woefully misled. Had I known it was a post-apocalyptic/disaster show I’d have watched much sooner. Amazing performances from Sterling K. Brown and James Marsden.

It’s been a little while since I’ve done a #ThingThursday so here’s what I’ve been working on. I took a broken Polly Pocket and turned it into a Polly Yaga Hut! It was a really fun project. Special thanks to my husband for letting me use his miniature paints and for resin printing the legs for me.
Front of schoolhouse Polly Pocket that I turned into a Baba Yaga hut. It stands on resin printed chicken legs. The siding is painted brown with a red roof and door. I covered it in patches of moss and leaves. I made a small dead tree with a tiny skeleton hanging from the branch next to the front door. It also has a large eye with a yellow iris on the front that I used to cover up a raised design on the schoolhouse.View of the Polly Yaga hut from more of a side angle, showing the grey chimney, and more of the roof.The inside of the hut showing a kitchen area with hanging herbs, another eye where the clock was. I’ve turned the blackboard into a bookshelf and the computer into a cauldron with a skull next to it, and added some bottles and other witchy details.More of the inside where I’ve turned the gymnasium arena into an altar featuring a skull and some candles. I added some books, a pentagram and a bloody sword. I also added a tiny bloody handprint near the altar.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently. This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

Noori Ali
Do you recall Noori Ali(?), the ten year. old Yemeni girl who got herself divorced? I met her at the Glamour awards last year. There was a CNN story last few days about how unhappy she is, still living at home, not attending school and quite angry that her life is not better. Is there any way we can help her? Could we get her to the US for counselling and education?

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.
Ep. 18: September to Remember
October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min
Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
COMMON SENSE

We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it. Tell people who supports the *political program* to feed children and who doesn't!
We can disagree about policy. But we should never disagree about whether a child deserves to eat.

I live 100ft away from a retired House rep in his 80s who I see at least monthly at our neighborhood social; he has said to me almost verbatim what Duncan said here. Older members are terrified of walking away from the 20-person 24/7 support network you can't even get in a high end nursing home.

Bonus #ThingThursday: I found this double sided cheapo clock/fake compass at Marshalls that I pulled apart to remove the mechanism so I could put bugs in it.
Repurposed cheap mass produced double-sided clock compass. Side A contains a brown beetle on green moss, surrounded by lichen (yellow and green varieties) and small white flowers. Side B contains a light colored butterfly on green moss. Underneath it are a variety of dried flowers, in white, yellow, and pink colors.
