Oh. Great jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Trying to not be too invested in what the WH announcement is on 2 Sep. but I’ll be attentive 2pm EDT/11am PDT despite myself. Probably BS but…
Prettiest chickens I’ve seen.
yummy
Not just for this post, you deserve an award for alt text thoroughness
Oh yeah!
Seems some people commenting here don't grasp the pervasiveness with which data is now the way to control a population, and that this is precisely what Putin, Thiel et. al. Have been preparing for. We need to remove this capability from play so as to blind the enemy and level the playing field some.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order aimed at curbing the power of federal law enforcement officers and National Guard troops that he said Trump has threatened to deploy to Illinois.
That is immensely sweet. 🥲
Been there. Then scratched an itch….

perfect reasoning!

Exquisite work like yours brings needed joy. Thank you!
Let’s not condition that demand. There are no sensible people in that White House
3/ Oops, forgot to thank you guys for boosting this to Newsom. We have to do everything we can to save democracy. THANK YOU.
they have nazis we have science
"The next time you read something and think, 'AI wrote this—it has a lot of em dashes,' ask yourself: Is it AI? Or is it just a poet trying to give you vertigo in four lines or fewer?"
I’m in tears. Those folks are lovely but I’m already mourning
That’s why we serve booze at our table
My wife and I are museum addicts. This was, as you say, a masterpiece. Glad we got to experience it in 2023.
Washington state is proud to be a welcoming community that values the contributions of immigrants and refugees to our economy and our cultural fabric. We will not be bullied or intimidated by threats and legally baseless accusations from AG Bondi or President Trump.
We're not doing enough to stop the thug and his private army. How in the world do we prevent martial law, military/ICE intervention at the polls, all of it? I really don't want glib replies, or unrealistic ones. I'm looking for serious ideas. TY.
Spoke to NPR for today's Morning Edition about AG Bondi’s disgraceful letter. It is all posturing. She won't challenge us in court, because she would lose.
Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations. Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes. Protect mail-in voting at all cost.
I wish I could have been there!
FEMA is still full of career public servants who bring their own skills and experience to the job. With their efforts, FEMA may be able to handle the next hurricane—or flood, or wildfire, or tornado—not because of Trump’s leadership but in spite of it.

Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's OBSESSION with him
I for one am concerned.
A good day!
Outside Dupont north metro
The other order is fun, too, btw
Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
Oh that must be Seattle. We’re in the midst of a bunny surge. That means a coyote surge is imminent
🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!
Looks like it’ll be viewable when we’re there. The rooftop has always been closed when we’ve visited so this is exciting!
What gif pops up when you type your name:
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."
Now that seems a nice spot to relax after a full day looking at art!
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
I love watching people make things with their hands. Muscle-memory, know-how, and resourcefulness are so inspiring! Yeah, this is an hour video, but so cool! m.youtube.com/watch?v=uY1Z...
my cynical friends call them "sucker holes". regardless, it's pretty!
I think “Trump-Epstein files” would be a more effective title
I don't know what's happening in this video?? But, i support it... 👀😅🤣 #bluesky

It looks to be a thoughtful and lovely experience. Thanks for the tip!
A place we will go when we visit this fall. Thanks for posting this!
Sounds —and looks—lovely!
Yeah…those

NEW POD: I talked with my good friend and travel writer @ricksteves.bsky.social about what Americans can learn from traveling around the world, cuts to foreign assistance and public broadcasting, and more. Watch below or listen wherever you get your podcasts! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFl0...
Canadians are polite until we are we are not. What makes us not polite is fascism. We fought them on the streets of Toronto in 1933. We fought them in Spain. Long before America joined the war we fought them. When you tell us we don't have a right to a country or kidnap our people we will fight back
No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

My thoughts turn quickly to those light-fingered Doge-bags
Yup, this is indeed what happened.
Every artist and creator deserves to be compensated for their talent. As leading members on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Sen. Thom Tillis and I are partnering on a new bill that gives our courts the power to protect American artists from foreign piracy.
Yes!
Good stuff! Free AMNH membership for beneficiaries of the NY Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). "... the Museum, and science, belong to everyone, and everyone belongs at the Museum. I hope our new Member families will enjoy many days of fun, learning, and enrichment here.”

I just learned about Flipper Zero. Me, now...
Ah, it’s been a while. If I recall correctly, the morning dairy on one side, evening below? Or is that BS?
Gorgeous!

It's not political to think people shouldn't be starved to death.
When I’m teaching, I may play this after making a good point
I love this caption so much
Perhaps, and only perhaps, that we allowed all of this to actually happen despite being warned
This should be the most bipartisan scandal and investigation of all time
