The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books.
Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable.

They're probably counting on crop insurance to cover their loses
"The moment humanitarian concern becomes accepted as a self-licensing basis for military action, it ceases to be a protection mechanism and becomes a standing authorization for the most powerful states to intervene wherever they characterize conditions as sufficiently dire."
We lost a lot of our stock assessment scientists to early retirement last year, and that's one area where being short on capacity slows most everything we do down.
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I laughed like a drunk hyena at this
I have been a subscriber since, I dunno, since a long time. Note that The Conversation has a multi million $ budget and Made By History partnered with major media outlets and did not pay writers. Contingent, from the start, pays. A model to emulate.
Bibs is our loaf master. He's a real chonk coming in at 15 pounds.
Bobby is a small boy, half Bib's size, yet the more dominant of the two. He's got that notorious orange cat energy.
I hear you people like pet content. Here's Bibs and Bobby getting all cuddly.

text over a photo of bruce campbell walking along a trail in a picturesque mountain area: Hi folks, these days, when someone is having a health issue, it's referred to as an "opportunity," so let's go with that - I'm having one of those. It's also called a type of cancer that's "treatable" not "curable." I apologize if that's a shock – it was to me too. The good news is, I'm not gonna go into any more detail. I'm posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change - appearances and cons and work in general need to take back seat to treatment. My plan is to get as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie Ernie & Emma this fall. There are several cons this year summer that I have to cancel. Big regrets on my part. Treatment needs and professional obligations don't always go hand-in-hand. That's about it. I'm not trying enlist sympathy-or advice-Ijust want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will). Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while. As always, you're the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon! Much love, Bruce Campbell
this is getting shared around so may as well here, it is real, sending bruce love and luck 💜
Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."
complete insanity
I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us.
It sucks.
We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this.
I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.
Aliya Rahman, the Minnesotan violently dragged out of her car in January, was arrested at the State of the Union for “silently challenging Trump during the speech”: www.democracynow.org/2026/2/25/al...
So some jerk called the police, who just beat up a disabled Rohingya refugee instead of trying to communicate with him and then charged *him*. He probably thought he was getting jumped since he couldn’t see or understand the cops.
He survived a genocide and ending up getting murdered by CBP.
Specifically he wants them to remove safe guards that prevent drones operated by their AI from killing people without human controls, in addition to removing safe guards on human surveillance. For once, I'm siding with the AI company.
This is disgusting. Academics in Florida are being compelled to censor their work on political grounds if they want to receive basic professional development funding.
He can start by cancelling all these deals to sell our energy overseas. The guy has already claimed deals that will double our exports which is just going to keep pushing up domestic costs.
When I heard this, I drafted a skeet about it, then thought "naaah, there's no way his speechwriters would allow him to contradict himself within one sentence." But they really and truly did.
This is perfect. For most of us working stiffs with a 401k, the big goal is to save up $1 million for retirement. You have to multiply that by a thousand to get a billion.

Why did ICE shackle a British tourist, a grandmother with no criminal record, who had all the correct papers, and lock her in a cell for SIX WEEKS??
Because ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone.
Eliminate this agency now.
this is how i witnessed an ICE kidnapping in western mass, i paid a $250 bail for a woman accused of trespassing (right...) and ICE snatched her as soon as we got out the door
Guess I'm gonna have to make a trip to Philly!

North Korea doesn't have any crude oil reserves, so there's your answer
So, just to recap, we have two random DOGE bros with basically no knowledge or experience in the humanities (and at least one of whom is a college dropout), who just went around terminating grants that had gone through a full grant application process by feeding in a list of culture war grievance terms, selecting out the grant titles based on the appearance of seemingly “woke” words, then asking ChatGPT “yo, tell me this is DEI” and then sending termination emails the next day from a private server and forging the director’s signature. This is what “government efficiency” looks like in practice: two guys with zero relevant experience, a keyword list built on culture war grievances, and a chatbot confidently spitting out 120-character verdicts on federal grants that went through actual review processes. The experts who might have explained what these grants actually do? Locked out. The director whose signature appeared on termination letters? Couldn’t tell you which grants got cut or w
Ever wondered how your grant got cancelled? No we know. Some college dropout asked ChatGPT "is it DEI/woke"?
