He's nuts, he hates the military and he's bored. What could go wrong?

Bill Criminalizing Mail-Order Abortion Pills as 'Drug Trafficking' Heads to Governor Mailing abortion drugs to patients would be a crime under a bill passed by the Mississippi Legislature.

“If Mississippi passes a law similar to its neighboring state, miscarriage care, postpartum care, and abortion care provided under the state’s existing narrow exceptions will be similarly difficult to access, which could lead to devastating consequences,” Reproductive Freedom for All said.

Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. It’s time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards

It’s absolutely unbelievable that Trump can continue to commit war crimes, defy humanitarian laws, threaten death and destruction of sovereign territory and innocent civilians and the world stands by and lets him. All at the behest of Israel. Disgusted @albomp.bsky.social Gov actually endorse this.

Yeah, I pay the vet. Just not worth the agony of doing it myself.

Are you paying attention?

She's beautiful! Tortitude is real.

Even red states are defiantly rejecting DOJ’s demands for private voter data “Election officials across the political spectrum stood up to protect state sovereignty and voters’ security, regardless of partisanship,” voting rights advocate David Becker told Democracy Docket.

Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justice’s campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...

When a government goes after a company and threatens to burn it down because they won't let their product be used for nefarious reasons says something chilling about that government.🗽

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

That question didn't make sense

That's a pedestrian overpass, so might be real. That little swerve ...

One sign the point was status not environmental concern.

What a ridiculously ugly vehicle.

Enthusiastically.

Can’t wait for the Benghazi 2.0 hearings to happen over abandoning US Officials and Diplomats across the Middle East because a child rapist and money launderer is being blackmailed to start a war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

And false (but that hardly needs saying).

Good luck to doggo, I have one who lost an eye a couple years ago.
I had two cats with cancer last year. One had an amputation and made it (& doing quite well), one had radiation and lasted longer but didn't make it.
Let's just say this will be a year of scrimping. But no regrets.

Drove back from a friend's at the lake late last night, and was treated to this view of the moon over the lake. (I may try to play with the photo a little, but this is how my pixel shot it.)

I just left a concert fundraising for the National Immigrant Justice Center to head to Broadview.

Here’s why:

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

I'm not so worried about embarrassment, but annihilation is a worry.
He has never in his life admitted a mistake or really faced the consequences of his actions.

Nobody was listening to the universe. So Kamala & Hillary "stating the obvious" wasn't obvious to many people, who were bombarded w disinformation fueled by not only trump but also Russian interference & self-interested/bribed/blackmailed sycophants. Anyone who stated the obvious deserves credit.

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

I dated a guy who had one, he loved that car like a baby. Great car.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do
