And mRNA vaccines don’t even put their genetic material in the nucleus of our cells. Only in the cytoplasm. mRNA vaccines are a modern medical miracle. Not something to be feared. Someday soon they’ll be used for targeted cancer therapy and other similar uses.
Say what you want about Andy Rooney… He was almost always right…
Stand by and repel any attempt by those that won elections that they don’t want taking office. 🤷🏻♂️
…and remember.
I don't think I've seen a better example of an animal smiling in my life... 🥹
It’s more that the favorability revolves on perceived ability to fight back against a govt that hurts its own people, than the policies itself supports. People will still vote against a party in power they hate. Concern is apathy in voters because they feel their vote won’t help cause change.

This is exceptionally well done, and also a total bop.

Wolves are harmless towards people.
Yup And at least understand it. Capitalism and socialism can coexist. In fact, they do to a great extent in the United States. The United States military is the largest socialist organization in the world. Social Security and Medicare are both socialist.
Curious if the verbiage actually says “Contiguous with a boundary of the United States”. Because Alaska is contiguous with the boundary of the Yukon Territories of Canada.
A portion of them are not ICE. Maybe most. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. They’re bounty hunters. They pick up & deliver to ICE or BCP. That’s part of the reason they’re hiding their faces. Abducting people is kidnapping if you’re not legally authorized to as part of a federal agency. Others may just fear retribution.

Agreed. The Japanese leadership intend to cripple the US navy to continue acquiring resources unimpeded. Japanese opposition (and military) were said to fear they had “Awoken a sleeping giant”. This is akin to standing underneath 100 wasp nests and smacking them off the tree with a stick.
If you’ve never seen one before, this is a strawberry finch.
Easier to seek peace. Happiness is just one emotion of many that keep changing like the weather. You can be at peace whether happy, sad, frustrated, angry, etc… without partaking.
Here we are! We’ve made it. Happy Friday 🍕 🎉 to everyone. I can see my end of day from here, and I bet you can too! Stay with your agenda. No time now to change it. It’ll work out. Let’s finish early and go to the beach (or wish we could) and frolic like dolphins! Be careful. Be you. Take no shit.

The key is to give notice for 3 days, daily, till after 72 hours, 3 days turns into any daily visit. (Till they change the ability to do that)
🤞. En banc review.

Better question: “Should I.C.E. be returned to its original form and purpose, ‘I.N.S.’ (Immigration and Naturalization Service.)”
It does. Sadly only on eyewitness reports on site at the time by those involved in the traffic jam on social media. Good luck getting news outlets to follow up with interviews.
Prefer it just went back to being INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service). A service. Not an enforcement agency.
Excellent article. And a great point. One thing is missing though. Many of the people attacked yesterday were just bystanders caught in a traffic jam caused by ice. They became witnesses & began filming. That’s who ice began targeting with tear gas. It wasn’t the bystanders who instigated anything.
WASP OR MOTH!? 🐝🤯 One of the most incredible mimics in the world, this Tiger Moth (Orcynia calcarata) looks so much like a wasp I was almost nervous holding it! 😳 There are so many tiger moths mimicking wasps in the Amazon it’s crazy! 😯🌳 How amazing is nature! 💛🖤
I’ve been working on an automatic bobcat watering station that will work when I’m away. I was a bit worried about the hose being scary but apparently it meets with approval.

Gonna find it difficult pushing that camel through the eye of a needle…just sayin’…
I see what you did there…lol
With its UFO-like display, the cuttlefish may look like it’s trying to get attention—but its intent is anything but. The undulating black stripes confuse prey, making the creatures all but invisible to crabs and other victims: scim.ag/3FVL43z

They should have explained to the American public why they couldn’t vote against keeping the government open without the performative act of pretending they wouldn’t vote for it. Waited till all the Rs voted for it, and then just voted “present”. Chuck isn’t capable of leading well in the minority.
True. But basic research (cellular function e.g.), is funded by the Federal government at universities all over the country.
To pass the continuing resolution (extension of last year’s budget minus some stuff that was good and plus some stuff that was bad). To proceed to the vote needed 60 votes. To pass it required 51 votes. He voted no on the the CR vote itself. Yes to proceed to it. Proceed needed to be no to defeat.
That ship has sailed… now you’re rubber stamping it.
Early in their evolutionary development maybe…? But maybe they would develop the ability to see small things much the same way scientists see bacteria in a microscope…?
That’s because they wished to individually profit from no regulations without taking into account the damage it would cause to the collective environment in which they function that allowed them to profit in the first place.
Yeah. We figured out how to make rockets not blow up on the way to space more than 50 years ago. This is just about no accountability.
P-100 mask or better, and ALWAYS wet an area before vacuuming (which makes it airborne, dusty, and breathable)
This was known as the legislation for the PPP loans was being written. Dems wanted to have oversite amendments written into it. Rs refused, claiming there was no time. Of course there was going to be fraud (As to who was going to get the loans) as a result.
Caught that when it happened… even more rapier-like that he used the Ukrainian word “costyum” (costume), when he could have just repeated the word “suit” that was thrust at him. It went over most people‘s heads… But not Brian Glenn’s…
Maybe so… equally likely is he knows that that year was used in place of missing birthdates. But also knows that his followers don’t know that, and will believe anything he says. So he says it anyway for malicious ends.
Yes they fear losing their jobs. But not as much as the physical threats to their well being. That’s what’s controlling them more. Until they fear their constituents for the same reason, they won’t change their support.
Agreed. They won’t change until they fear the retribution from their constituents than they do from the guy speaking last night.
He’ll be gone in a few months anyway once he’s worn out his welcome. His appointment was always about getting him out of the Senate anyway. Cold revenge from the man at the top.
Someone official looking needs to stand outside some men’s room in these areas and ask that same question… “Hey… a lotta very convincing men trans folk been walking in here… Show us what ya got hangin’ there….“ do that for a little while and see how fast the rules change.
She’s a magnet for lightning bolts. It's estimated that the copper statue has been hit by 600 bolts of lightning every year since it was assembled in New York Harbor... ...yet she stays standing as a proud testament to the strength and resilience of the people she was constructed to represent 4/4
Yup
It is. We shouldn’t know we’re doing it. We shouldn’t know we’re not doing it. Terrified to find out next we’re standing down our defensive capabilities. The thought of power grids going down in winter or worse is frightening.
New gulf name on USGS? Ugh. Figures, I guess. Alternative facts… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Unusual delay in USGS reporting. Felt it but wasn’t reported for more than 5 minutes on earthquake.usgs.gov . Usually it’s almost instantaneous.
We shouldn’t even know this. They’ll say it’s to make room for a peace deal in Ukraine, maybe. But it’s bad that someone felt it was dangerous enough to leak it. More concerned about halting of our defensive cyber capabilities.
The insiders need to cash out before that rug gets pulled again… Or maybe the pain does start tomorrow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I would offer that that the terminology only referred to a mythical creature. Because nobody cares anymore if they were complicit or not. They were all captured under the umbrella term “Nazi” for decades after the war.
That will be the only thing that will save the idea of America. That dip, the Rs fear of their own constituents more than this regime, and the resulting sudden recognition of their spines enough to conduct 3 straight impeachments. P,VP, & Speaker. Anything less’ll require decades to undo the damage.
Excellent point. Not nearly enough who watched noticed.
I, for one, appreciate the heads up.
Yes. But they are not fearful of their constituents yet as they are their party leadership.
Well it’s important that they are equally afraid of betraying their constituents.
You are 100% right on that.
The Leader of the Free World left the White House today after the resident of that building handed over the reigns to it that the office housed there once held. The US is now adrift in the world without any allies. Our government has now proven itself untrustworthy.
MAGA keeps using DEI as a way of describing what it sees as hiring only based on marginalized groups. To it, Diversity, Equity, and inclusion doesn’t mean making sure all get a fair shot… it means even if I’m mediocre, I should have preference because I’m white and male (and/or racist).
Yeah I rarely check it. It’ll be gone eventually.
Search works. Many still have their same handle.
Just takes time. Many of them moved here, you just need to find them. Hang in there.
Or Kruchev was right… “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within”. Maybe they won.
Pump and dump or the inverse. Everyone gets scared. Sells off stocks. Then he announces he’s changed his mind after picking up deflated stocks. Market goes up. Sells ‘em again.
Well done.
Well done. I’ve been doing the same since she ran for Congress.
How do you avoid it with the loss of income by hundreds of thousands of people suddenly laid off. The knock on effects are 10 fold. It just slows the circulation of money in the economy. That equals less productivity.
Hasn’t ended transgender in the military. Just increased the risk of blackmail and extortion in the military. Worse in sensitive intelligence agencies.
He’s probably just remembering chicken pox.

You’re acknowledged. I hear you.
Hoping it doesn’t come to that. But his hubris seems to lead that way…
Canary in the coal mine… Virginia off year elections… Abigail Spanberger’s run for governor and the state house races. If no election tampering, Spanberger wins in a blowout (with all the Fed employees fired). That should cause some republican knees to knock. And that happens in just this November.
Good point! Hadn’t thought of the follow on consequences.
He’s President Ozymandias.
Comedy Central. That’s where I got real news till Jon Stewart left. As weird as that is. I’ll never forget when he interviewed Ted Koppell who said “ I’m terrified people are getting their news from you!” And Jon responded by saying “How do think I feel ?! When the rest are getting theirs from you!”
That’s like trying to exclude a member of a group you’re no longer in…

They fired *YOU*? As a contributor???
Agreed. Same. They proved where they were going when they buried the endorsement.
Distinction without a difference.
Thats exactly right if you use Occum’s Razor on what’s happening with him and his people. With what they are doing, they are behaving as if elections no longer will affect them or remove them from office.
Law of unintended consequences will take over. Create a disincentive to marry… result: less marriages. Or at the very least women not choosing to take their husband’s name (as the law is based on the name you had on your original birth certificate).
Why not just forward to president@whitehouse.gov or comments@whitehouse.gov ? Maybe even add an inquiry as to what it’s all about?

Good point.
Brilliant message. You’ve proven at least someone has nonviolent courage.
Just because they say it was “accidental” doesn’t mean that it’s so. There is no reason to take them at their word.
They “Say” they are trying to hire them back. Why should anybody believe them?
