Don't confuse a show of respect as being subservient. Put me in a corner, and "scrappy" is a gentile word. I believe dignity is afforded to everyone until they show it isn't

This is cruelty. Undocumented immigrants are spending months in detention facilities awaiting resolution of deportation cases. Before Trump 2, they could get a bond hearing to show they aren’t a danger or flight risk. (1/2) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The case, one of the first the court has accepted since its summer recess ended, promises to be among the most consequential of the term that begins next week.

Xavier Becerra put the Steve Hilton contradiction right on the debate stage: enforce Trump’s federal immigration laws, but ignore California’s own protections? Then he dropped the hammer: “You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me.”

The federal government traditionally split the administrative costs of SNAP food benefits evenly with states. Not anymore: A drastic restructuring forces local governments to cover 75% of the operational bill, igniting fears that mounting costs will force some states to abandon the program entirely.

Dr. Jane Goodall died #OTD in 2025. She was a primatologist, anthropologist & conservationist regarded as the world’s foremost expert on wild chimpanzees. Her field research revolutionized our understanding of primates & redefined what it means to be human. janegoodall.org #WomenInSTEM
A feel-good photograph of world-renowned primatologist and anthropologist Dr. Jane Goodall (1934-2025), famous for her groundbreaking, decades-long study of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park. In this intimate shot, Dr. Goodall is positioned on the right, her profile turned left toward a young chimpanzee resting its hand affectionately on her shoulder. Her gray hair is tied back in a signature low ponytail, and she wears a white button-up shirt with thin red and blue vertical stripes. Her eyes are closed, and her mouth is puckered as she mimics a vocalization, creating a profound, empathetic connection with the chimpanzee, who tilts its head back with its mouth wide open in a matching vocal expression. The background is a soft, blurred palette of green and tan nature tones, keeping the focus entirely on their interaction. The composition exudes a tender, joyful, and harmonious mood, highlighting the historical significance of her revolutionary approach to treating animals as individuals with minds, emotions, and distinct personalities.

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

Wow! Schmitt didn’t just get it wrong, his team was warned the texts were unvetted, but he used them anyway. Not only that, Chuck Grassley’s Judiciary staff left the texts out of its own hearing memo. Schmitt’s team went digging for them, then used them to accuse Jack Smith of perjury.
