The problem isn't whether rich people believe stupid shit; it's the fact that when a rich person believes something stupid, that belief can turn into torment for dozens, thousands, or millions of people.

Ford's cherished stupidities didn't just affect him, they also meant that a city full of people in the Amazon had windows facing the wrong direction. Like I said, I sometimes believe stupid things, but my stupid things aren't *consequential* the way rich people's cherished stupidities are.

CALL YOUR SENATORS and tell them absolutely NO on the SAVE act, which is deliberately designed to keep married women, trans people, & anyone who's ever changed their name from voting. It's an evil and pointless bill. Kill it dead.
According to DOGE flunky, a documentary about the experiences of Jewish women's slave labor during the Holocaust is "inherently discriminatory." Come ON.

If we don't narrow our field, WE COULD end up with a Republican governor.
Wait wait! what’s this? #birdcall booth. McMinnville, Oregon.
I have heard from a program officer in mathematics at the NSF that they spent hours explaining that math grants can use the word “equality” and not have anything to do with DEI at all! They had to go through each flagged proposal one by one to prove it 😭
you do not need to wait for jesus to “come back.” dig through the rubble of any bombed out apartment complex, office building or, yes, girls’ school, and you’ll find him there, covered in dust.
The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

...So in local news: I still need to get some more heating oil for the house before the prices, uh, do what they're going to do. Want some pretty-low-priced #ebook bundles that have never been anywhere near AI slop? Grab one of these and help keep a writer warm! 🙂 dduane.link/EBDBundlesLi...
Diane is a true treasure of our industry. Chip in, or help spread the word? It all adds up!
NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.
When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”
Video + interview with her and her daughter:
Outdoor fruit stand with huge pyramid of oranges and tall round banana display.
they’re just begging for a car chase
So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.
A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.
NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.
Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.
That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

Republicans have decided they would rather shut down DHS than work with us to rein in CBP & ICE.
Republicans know full well that Democrats want to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and cyber security. I tried to pass a bill to do just that today—and Republicans blocked it!
We the people, in order to form a more perfect Union, will take the Complement of the Intersection of the Complements.
Trump on terrorist attacks in America: “Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
One thing that’s always been wild to me is there inability to recognize who the bad guy is. Jessup, Patrick Bateman, Jordan Belfort. These guys consistently idolize the obvious villain.
/4 Anyway, a long-time theme of Trumpism, and an increasingly common theme of the Republican Party, is that violence is justified against protesters because protesters are evil. It’s a deeply foul, thuggish, un-American sentiment.
If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
Folks please light up their phones TODAY. The Dems failing to stand together on this is bullshit.
One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
