TIL that the Nebraska US district court holds that "Flying Spaghetti Monster is not a religion." Cavanaugh v Bartelt, 2016

“His world is so, so small': Trump advisers claim 'the magic is gone' as he wanders around Mar-a-Lago”

No matter what, I can’t seem to muster even the slightest hint of compassion for this man. The world would be a better place today if trump wasn’t in it.

When she saw this tweet a few years ago, a friend in Texas said, "I've never been so offended by something I agree with 100%.

#GeorgeSantos, a former call center employee falling behind on his rent, lent his campaign a staggering $705,000.

Where did all that money come from? The Ethics Committee MUST start investigating immediately.

If Trump gets off as a result of Republicans taking The House, it tells Americans that the privileged are above the law, and The Constitution is broken

In 1925, Dr. Cecilia Payne completed her PhD thesis, described as “the most brilliant ever written in astronomy.” At a time when few #women entered academia, Payne discovered what the universe is made of. Her work began a revolution in astrophysics.

Dr. Payne-Gaposchkin became the 1st female professor & 1st female department chair at Harvard. Given most of us remember names like Darwin & Newton, we should also celebrate Payne. #science #space

BTW Elon, that Rube Goldberg design you can't understand but everyone like me has had to explain in a 45-minute System Design job interview?

That's why it worked after you disconnected one of the more sensitive server racks.

That's why we design shit like this. If we could deploy it to a single machine so you could understand it AND it would be resilient to random failures, we'd be doing it that way.

So an American "Conservative" did chose Christmas Day to do an exceptionally cruel thing to a group of immigrants for purely political purposes and I have no doubt he will go to church today and be patted on the back by all the other "Christians" and feel peak piousness

Catholics like Abbott & DeSantis traffic migrants

Catholics like Kavanaugh, Barrett, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch force women & rape victims to give birth

Catholic Church spent $3 million to ban abortion in KS & got $3.5 BILLION in PPP money

Isn’t it time to tax the Church already?

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Took off from Sacramento, California, US.

Today 83,000 Texans lost power and prices surged by 400%

Greg Abbott had YEARS to fix this

Instead of fixing ERCOT and the shitty power grid, he spent all his time policing our vaginas

Flying to fancy campaign fundraisers

Building a useless wall

Not attending Uvalde funerals

As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.

Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.

Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.

Period.

To everyone working today or tomorrow in essential services - including gas, food/supplies retail, emergency services, medical, and ride hailing or delivery:

Thank you.
