Vought is a direct descendant of white supremacists through his putative mother. His hatred of women and children also has personal roots. It's pathological.

Vought is a eugenicist sociopath. His personal origin story, which has gone mostly unexamined, inspired his sadistic need to inflict mass trauma, particularly on black and brown bodies, and others he deems "wicked". Investigate his birth, raising, early education, etc then his parenthood to divorce.

Vought's putative mother was a spoiled product of the Jim Crow south, with white supremacist upbringing. She fled to NYC after a failed 1st marriage, taking advantage of hidden family connections to wealth built on the backs of black bodies in the cotton trade. Apple, tree.

Nandina Fruits Can Be Toxic to Birds - North Carolina Botanical Garden
Scott Zona's research shows nandina leaves and fruits contain high levels of cyanide. When birds like cedar waxwings gorge on them, it can be fatal.

There is a season turn, turn, turn. The Long-tailed Tits always leave here when their breeding season has finished & return in the autumn to begin their hedgerow foraging. I'm not sure of the total flock size today - there were always birds away from the water. We're gonna need a bigger lid. 🦉🌿

As someone who used to do recalls of high-risk products, don't let the "voluntary" word fool you. That is language baked into the laws and regulations to confer a feeling of goodwill. And 2026 recalls are bigger, higher risk, and later, so more likely to impact the end consumer.

stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive

Depends on how cold it gets, and heavy mulching. If I'd known I would have left it in the ground. A bunch of cabbage, kale, spinach, and escarole survived and has been very productive.

I'm glad you posted this so I could learn about your previous gay-mocking video. That was a Platner tattoo type move and this attempt at empty civility waves as another red flag. Ethics are ethics.

You may remember this great story my colleague Pascal wrote on Black voters in Fayette Co., their legal win, and how they're bracing for the VRA's impact. boltsmag.org/voting-right... The NYT 3 days ago: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u... Of course it makes sense to cover Fayette now! Just credit!

Hey man, you need to stop taking my fucking videos, cropping off my handle, splicing it with other clips (which you presumably also stole), and then slapping your name on it. It’s one thing to download my TikTok and post it instead of just sharing here, but we’re hitting lawyer territory here.

Russ Vought is a sociopath who descends from white supremacists and probable KKK members. His immediate family benefitted from social programs such as the GI bill and increased funding of public schools in the state of NY, and union membership. Keep his feet to the fire. Thank you.

There was a counter protester at our local march, a retired prison guard. He's now claiming he was assaulted there. From what I saw, he was juggling his giant ass flag, on a pole of course, a folding chair, and a bullhorn and got caught by a gust of wind. Never saw it coming. 💨🤡

“The airport footage was obtained through an information disclosure request to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport by activist Nick Benson with MN50501 - a Minnesota-based organization that advocates against Trump's policies.”

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
