She has the perfect most boop-able nose! I also love that she's the perfect yin/yang balance of black and white.

Is she a Daoist?

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

this isn't just a MAGA thing, it's a cross-American one and *especially* a lot of people who came of age in politics or punditry in the 1990s. the idea that the news could happen to them - that the world might not be all going their way - is genuinely brain-breaking to a lot of them

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

a man in a top hat and bow tie says how 's that working out for you ? Alt: a man in a top hat and bow tie says how 's that working out for you ?

There's a pathological level of desire to convince us that people want a "return to normal" when the fact that "normal" was pretty awful for most folks is exactly why Trump is president. Dems seem to believe that if they excise any remnant of passion, principle, or personality they'll win.

President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is telling his advisers to bring ideas to the Oval Office to lower gasoline prices in the wake of the U.S. attack on Iran, according to two energy industry executives familiar with the conversations.
The White House is "looking under every rock for ideas on improving energy prices, especially gasoline prices," said one of the executives, who was granted anonymity to describe internal administration discussions.

They're going to release banned peptides, but I cannot get sunscreen made with modern UV filters. American sunscreen hasn't been updated in 25 years.

I can't even import sunscreen from like Korea or Japan. I hate it.

US air defenses may not be able to intercept many of Iran’s one-way drones | CNN Politics Trump administration officials told lawmakers during a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge and US air defenses will not be able to...

I have watched many videos now of Ukrainian volunteers who have stapled together three soviet-era AK-47s and mounted them on basically a golf cart shooting down Geran-style drones.

If the US can't figure out how to efficiently intercept a drone I can make in my basement, that's a skill issue.

We all have a role to play in building those new worlds. Determine what the next right step is for you. There is always something that is worth doing. Find your lane and push ahead. Make connections with others. Refuse to acquiesce to despair. Imagine your way forward. There are many ways that things can be different in the world, and we don't know how things will turn out, so we might as well fight like hell for the world we want to inhabit.

History teaches us that relatively small groups of people have been responsible for some of the most consequential societal chang-es. It's usually the minority of the minority that engages in struggle in any historical moment. This is reassuring because it means that we don't have to convince everyone in order to attain critical goals. It leaves room for surprise.

Men think they're doing their share of housework. They're not. The gender gap is taking a toll on women's mental health and is not showing signs of getting better.

related to the previous post.

"New research from the university suggests that women who carried the bulk of the housework load at age 25 still bear the same heavy burdens decades later as they move into middle age β€” and that "women's domestic workload only increased during the child-rearing years."
