I remember helping my mother scald raw milk before we consumed it.
basic income unlocks the freedom to build something real—instead of just surviving
I was about to say who is less qualified than Laura Loomer to make governmental decisions, but then I remembered RFK and Big Balls.
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.

is it mean if i don’t want him to die until it is clear to him that his death will be celebrated and his memory mocked?
it’s been a hot minute since i last asked, but IS HE DEAD YET?
I'd also like to reiterate that I'm not a skilled gardener, I legit don't know shit about plants, I only know about marine biology and surface level stuff about bugs. All that to say- if I can do it you can do it. It isn't hard as long as you water it. Worst case you kill some plants & try again.
Naught but a leap to the left And thanne a clockwyse tread; Put thyne handes on thyne hippes, And be thy knees yn-gatheréd: Lo, it ys the pelvique thruste That maketh mirthe down to rayne - Let us do the Tyme Warpe agayne!
what i want to know is why you think a civil war hasn’t started yet.
do you do anything but post on social media? because you say pretty words here but roll over anytime the GOP asks.
ChatGPT is telling people to kill themselves. ChatGPT is an OpenAI product. @rweingarten.bsky.social is working with OpenAI to push ChatGPT into schools. If I'm wrong about any of these facts, please correct me. If I am right, we all deserve some real answers.
RFK Jr. is poised to become the leading cause of death among Americans of any age. that’s kind of wild.
i never thought i’d have to struggle to get myself vaccinated.
Please call for RFKJr’s IMMEDIATE resignation @sanders.senate.gov @welch.senate.gov @balint.house.gov I am not letting my children be fed into the woodchipper of his sociopathy. #vtpoli #RFKJrMustResign
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
If you're using ChatGPT or giving money to OpenAI, you're supporting this. Just stop. Cut them off. They're the worst of the worst.
He actually says the words, “just following orders.” Great kid, now if you had just read some GD books.
one can only hope.
so senator warren, what are you doing about it instead of posting on social media? aren’t you a whole US senator?
A ‘boathouse’ is a type of house. A ‘houseboat’ is a type of boat. This is a common pattern in English. The first noun MODIFIES the second word. The second noun is what it IS. 🧵⬇️
They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.
is he afraid to let his daughter on the subway because guys like him will be there?
🤔
I read somewhere, if marriage benefited women, it would have been taken away from us by now.
Some guy wearing Mets gear, who definitely came down from Long Island for this series, was thanking all the National Guard troops for their service as we were leaving the ballpark and that's way more embarrassing than anything the Mets could do.
Move the World Cup out of the US! It not safe!
Which eel would you be MOST frightened to see coming out of your toilet? Moray? Ribbon? Electric (not true eels, I KNOW)? Garden? Gulper? Please tell me. Don't know? Well then you clearly need to know more about eels. EelFacts.Net for you.
i suggest gently that stephen miller should be stuffed into a locker several times a day for the rest of his life.
Corruption is bad, and members of Congress shouldn’t trade stocks.
This cannot be said enough. California Democrats’ redistricting plan only kicks in if a Republican state gerrymanders first. California is responding to what Republicans are already shoving through in Texas.
Governors of Six (red) states have sent their states' national guard troops to – and now occupy – (blue) Washington D.C. What would you call this? Historians will call it civil war.
Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.
congratulations.
If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.
From @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social: “If you’re under 65 and not high risk, the window to get a Covid-19 vaccine is right now—before the FDA label changes (possibly this Friday). Once it happens, access will be limited immediately.”
I no longer see job listings in any of the areas that I used to find employment in that aren't centered around AI. Unemployed 2 years now. People are debating this fucking topic like it's theoretical, but it's ruining people's lives in real time as you debate minor points on the issue.
I have lived in DC for five years. Never have the areas around the DC monuments been considered "high crime areas." Seeing the National Guard walking around them in such an obvious show of performative nonsense is disgusting. This is not liberation. It is occupation.
The Hague is gonna love this👇
I love that ChatGPT is basically "Ask Jenny McCarthy a question"
Let them know you're filming them and keep asking the key questions: "Do you have a warrant signed by a judge? Show me." "Do you have a badge? Show me." "Do you know how pathetic you are? You showed me."
I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic
hey, so. i’ve been largely absent from online lately. i’ve been busy teaching children resilience skills. today i taught them how not to be lost in the woods and how to make shelter and fire. and also we sang songs and played games.
For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.
Man, I just read a quote from Carrie Fisher that's going to be burned into my brain forever. "Things are getting worse faster than we can lower our standards."
Wonder how Luigi is Doing.......
Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? https://youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF
Apparently, the most effective way to escape a child sex trafficking conviction is to have one of your high-profile clients become president of the United States.
I love the Scots.
hey, so. things are pretty bad out there. me, i’m taking some time to work with children. i can’t give them the future they deserve, but i can give them skills to make them more resilient. and also songs and laughter because we owe them some fun too, yeah?
"Hulk Hogan should be remembered as a living expression of our national decay: a hero exposed as a fraud, a fraud exposed as a coward, and finally a coward who cried with joy upon finding an authoritarian monster to tell him that his sins were in fact virtues." www.thenation.com/article/soci...
If your thought is, "that must be rare," or "not in Vermont," you aren't paying attention. #vtpoli
The scale, volume, frequency, and duration of all the current catastrophes is proving to be pretty exhausting man
I care for 2 pollinator plots: A garden w/multiple beds A 3-rowhomes-long parade of pots w/~20 plant species. There's more habitat space in the bigger garden, more plant diversity in the pot parade. I spend at lot of time at both. I predicted the larger space would = more species observed. NOPE!
FIFA is considering moving the World Cup games to Canada in response to escalating fascism in the US. Good. They should. And the Olympics should follow suit. Refuse to normalize or reward fascism. The US is not a safe place to visit & we should all vote with our dollar and go elsewhere.
Nothing proves that you’re only going after the criminals who are here illegally quite so clearly as abducting people at their legal immigration hearings.
i’m old enough to remember when people who needed that drug got told that we wern’t getting it so other folks who wanted it could have it. there’s a REASON we all take it under supervision.

Bouncer: "I'm going to have to ask you to leave." Me: “Why?” Bouncer: “I don’t know who you are and this is my trampoline.”
A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.
Underrated tweet.
The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.
If women submitting to men was a natural way of being, they would not have needed laws, religion & violence to get them to do it.
The yearly pay at the federal minimum wage: $15,080 The average yearly cost of a 1 bedroom apartment in the United States: $17,340 We need living wages and lower housing costs. This is not sustainable.
Hero.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Potential death due to police tactics: There’s footage on Instagram of what appears to be an unhoused person in Haverhill, MA with several police on top of him and he’s yelling for help and then … CPR and he’s dead Like it looks like George Floyd, folks www.instagram.com/reel/DMBnpXh...
little library gallows humor for ya :'D
Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?
No one.
It is a very, very specific circle of hell when the concentration camp has merch. #AbolishICE
You’re not evil for asking why the president cut services and let your family drown.
So the Kerr County, Texas commissioners refused Federal ARPA funds for emergency warning systems because of “communism” and the result was they killed over 200 people… This is what hate and GOP rhetoric does to your brain. It’s deadly.
cops are precious little snowflakes who think they’re the main characters. they should quit and get meaningful work cleaning floors or delivering pizzas.
Texas can't adequately warn people about deadly floods, but it can immediately let me know that a cop got hurt 250 miles away from me.
i love him so much.
I think the only fair way to settle this would be an ever escalating “release incriminating evidence against the other person” battle.
Spot on. It’s happening right now…this is how it starts.
He has refused his Assent to Laws… For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world… For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury… For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences… A Tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence
you all know nobody is coming to liberate the concentration camps, right? you know they’re being built for us, right? you know we’re going to have to do that fighting ourselves, right? stock up. skill up. get connected.
I think a lot about how a historian specializing in the Civil War told me if we had hung all the generals and most of the Confederate officers for treason post war we'd be a completely different country today. I wonder if we'll learn.
Marines, at what point does defending the Constitution from domestic enemies apply to the regime that’s currently occupying our government? Asking for a friend.
What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken Congress? Our corrupt Supreme Court? Our ridiculous buffoon President?
I guess Classic Recycling is feeling guilty about doing work at the Everglades detention center. They really should have done a better job hiding their company name. classic-recycling.com
the best time to start was years ago. the next best time is today.
The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.
It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.
If they deport enough brown people And starve enough kids And impregnate enough young women to remove them from professions And take healthcare from enough people They think they will receive their deserved level of wealth rather than understanding they’re collapsing it all. Call your reps.
