I live and work in the intersection of serious fun and pragmatic dreaming, with the goal of good mischief. My views are my own.

Socialism.

We wouldn’t let a kid adopt a kid.

So why would we force a kid to give birth to one?

MUST WATCH AD. Please spread it.

An observation of just how far down the rabbit hole we are 6 years later: the wife of a sitting Supreme Court justice was questioned about her role in an effort to overturn our democracy - an effort which her husband refuses to recuse himself from - and it barely grabs headlines.

Trump stole documents on confidential informants in January 2021 and 9 months later CIA Counterintelligence sent a top secret cable warning an unusually high number of confidential informants had been killed, captured, or compromised. I feel like more people should mention that.

Looking forward to attending this year’s conference.

your reminder that Reality Winner swiped one document and was quickly arrested and did four years in prison. no polite requests. no gently-worded letters. no pretty-pleases. no second chances. no months-long negotiations. one document. four years

In this experiment Dr Rob Thompson of @UniRdg_Met shows just how long it takes water to soak into parched ground, illustrating why heavy rainfall after a #drought can be dangerous and might lead to flashfloods.

Go @BetoORourke!!!

This is how you respond when someone laugs loudly while discussing the mass shooting in Uvalde.

When the FBI reopened its case against Hillary Clinton for allegedly mishandling government records, with just 11 days to go till the 2016 election, not a single liberal threatened violence or civil war.

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

Can we stop with the "no former president has ever been subject to a raid of their personal residence"?
1. IT WAS NOT A RAID! It was an executed search warrant. Know the difference.
2. The FBI has never before had a reason to execute a search of a former president 's home. 👇

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

The capstone to possibly the greatest week an administration has ever had. Congratulations and thank you @POTUS @JoeBiden.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Democrats passed a law that will lower the cost of energy, health care, and prescription drugs.

Republicans voted against it to protect drug companies, oil companies, rich people who cheat on their taxes, and big corporations that don’t pay any.

That’s the choice.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Can’t believe we even have to say this, but: if you just went to the Senate floor and blocked benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits while serving our country in a war zone, you are wrong.

“Infrastructure investment holds promise in creating more enduring and equitable jobs—including those with longer-term career pathways, higher pay, and lower formal educational barriers to entry,” write @jwkane1 and @MarthaHRoss. https://t.co/YippGm35e4

This commercial from Mothers Against Greg Abbott is brilliant.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Many of the same Republicans who just voted against protecting birth control and celebrated when Roe was overturned also oppose paid family leave and efforts to make childcare affordable. This is not about supporting families—it’s about dragging women back in time.
