Meanwhile, my cat looked at me quizzically like, it’s not time yet, but OK, I guess. Non-in-nonmmnnn

I’d like to be able to reel off this exact sentence to people at least once a day.

Quote: Karl also reported that Trump referred to the ongoing Middle East conflict as a “performance,” saying, “I hope you are impressed … How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?” End quote. For lack of a more coherent way to respond to such a stunning quote from the president of the United States during a war of choice against a radical authoritarian government ruling over 90 million people, I’ll take a beat to remind you of this: Trump has said in interviews and at rallies that two of his favorite movies are the black-and-white classics about stars collapsing in on themselves, “Citizen Kane” and “Sunset Boulevard.” The problem for President Norma Desmond isn’t that his military got small. It’s that his ambition got too big.

Quick Q for everyone: When your president starts sounding like Norma Desmond, is that a good thing? Should that make me feel glad?

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles “Sonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Thanks for posting this.

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”.

ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.

Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”.

Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?”

These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.

Abolish ICE

People wanting to believe the exotic rather than the tragic.

All-Black Heron Found in Louisiana Highlights How Oiling Can Go Unnoticed - International Bird Rescue A large, all-black heron spotted in Slidell, LA, sparked major debate in the birding community on social media this past week, with many assuming the bird had a rare genetic condition called melanism....

Just found this—which I have not read yet. www.birdrescue.org/all-black-he...

One of the Louisiana Bird groups on Facebook. I was following closely because the photos were so (grotesquely) beautiful and it was so close to New Orleans that several birders and photographers went to see it. And there was the back & forth about whether it was melanated or harmed. Very sad ending

The bird died about three days later and was determined by wildlife officials to be covered in a substance. Not melanated

I hate that the iconic photo of “I Told You So, Hilary” is more fucking applicable every day.

A very good question and someone needed to ask it.

I would be delighted to read this headline with “Unitarian(Universalist)s instead of “Evangelists.”

Strongly suspect we'll eventually find mass graves under these concentration camps.

Well, that's why you don't sink an unarmed ship to begin with. You demand their surrender or tell them you're gonna sink the ship and give them time to get into their life boats.

I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.

March 5, 2026 President Donald J.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled
Noem has been publicly shamed and fired, and I too can’t wait to see her at “Nuremberg 2.0,” but let’s be real:.They’re throwing a woman under the bus. The incompetent white men are skating right now and getting away with murder (and starting wars willy nilly).

1. thanks for clarifying what "ID" means

2. non-citizens voting actually isn't a problem

3. trump himself uses mail-in ballots

4. wait what

5. is this still about voting

From what Im’ve seen, I’d like her much better than him.

Aww, you hate to see it.

<bursts out spitting/laughing.

True enough. But I’m still burned by Fetterman—not that Jeffries is at the level of Fetterman, by any means.

Yes, thank you.

I live in Louisiana, born and raised in Shreveport; I know with great sadness who the current Speaker is.

Also clear it was a joke, as was my response. The only chance for impeachment/conviction is if we regain both House & Senate and if we regain the House, Jeffries will, likely be elected Speaker

And it's still not the worst thing that DJT has done to schoolgirls.

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

Yeah, I’m not ready for President Jeffries either.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

But did it really move closer, or did time move in on it?
