AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

There were so many incredible butterflies at my work this past week! Thousands of little orange ones. I got so many photos of kids holding them or them sitting on people's faces. It was adorable.

The people who beat Capitol Police with metal poles and fire extinguishers and sprayed them with bear spray - and killed people - think that yelling and graffiti aren’t forms of peaceful protest. I am so sick of hearing from them.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Sounds of Summer was the first CD I asked to buy as a kid. Wild Honey has always been my favorite song. You can imagine my frustration when the boy I had been dating for a while told me his uncle was Wilson's manager, and he had waited all that time to say anything about it. RIP Brian Wilson

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”

I ended up canceling the next appointment. The receptionist asked what the reason for canceling was, and I said ending care. I was pretty torn up about it. She was never a great therapist to me, but was there during a really hard time.

It's time for me to search for another therapist. I'm tired of her blaming my cognitive distortions on solar flares and moon phases. No, Kerry, I'm up at night because we're living through a fascist regime and work is stressful, not because the sun is putting out extra energy.

Some opinions no one asked for: - Most leaders are way too old and generally don't give a shit about the next generation. There should be term limits and age limits, especially for justices. - The two party system is trash, both sides fund genocide. - Draft dodgers should not get military parades.

Since this has been getting likes lately, I have an update -- BS responded to the feedback and said they'd send my request along to the ones who reinstate accounts and said individuals can request reinstatement and that other accounts can do it on behalf of banned accounts. Nothing specific.

When Trump... 
- holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers 
- promotes teslas on the white house driveway on behalf of a multi billionaire who spent $277m backing him 
- uses state visits to advance his hotel business 
It's corruption, plain and simple

Yesterday, my partner went on a hike with family and ran into a woman wearing a hat that said, "tough broads" they stopped to appreciate the hat and she said it's from a book she's featured in. Anyway, he did a little digging and holy shit do I want to be this woman.

Great post! I just went through a battle trying to get this on my FB page. Ended up having to screenshot the image because the one saved to camera roll wouldn't post. I don't go on FB much, but BS is an echo chamber so it's good to post elsewhere once in a while.

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

US will stop tracking the costs of extreme weather fueled by climate change
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it will no longer track the cost of weather disasters, including floods, heat waves, wildfires and more

Happy Cinco! What is happening at the border is cruel and inhumane. Mexicans are demonized constantly in the US, when in reality, we RELY on them.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

This morning, when I left my yurt to use the bathroom, I saw the camp bunny hanging out by my car. Then, I saw my first ceanothus moth of the season! Yay! Notice their feathery antennae.
Large ceanothus moth. Mostly wine/burgundy with crescent moons on its wings

I'm sorry you're dealing with all that (on top of the student loans). I imagine it would be very difficult to become disabled so young. Real estate seems to be a good fallback. My mom went with insurance when she realized she didn't want to teach.
