This is weird.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) was apparently caught on camera pulling a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building. He may have been trying to prevent the vote on the CR. His spokesperson admits it was him, but says he didn't trigger the alarm intentionally.

Bowman is part of the House's pro-Republican leftist extremist contingent. And he's a member of #DSA, a lunatic leftist fringe group that supports Putin's genocide in Ukraine.

There are a number of Democrats who have DEMANDED that Biden declare a Climate Emergency. I will support ANY of them

Prominent #Nazi front man and #Putin bootlicker Elon Musk, also the fake "savant" wrecker of the once thriving website known as Twitter, regurgitates classic German propaganda about immigrant "invasion." https://thehandbasket.substack.com/p/elon-musk-crosses-the-border-to-nazi

David Hogg with a critical update:

If we want to elect young leaders across the country to help defeat the far-right's agenda, we need to build the critical resources to do it. They are counting on us to FAIL.

So I'm personally asking: will you chip in $25 before our FIRST end of quarter deadline and prove our people-powered movement is only growing? >> https://secure.actblue.com/donate/lwd-ga-txt-sept23?refcode=dh-txt-20230930-b1&amount=25

Our Native Hawaiian children are also targeted by the US for child removal to prevent parents from passing Hawaiian language, history, and lifeways down to the next generation. CPS is a tool for cultural genocide.

This is what you accept when you object to 20mph speed limits. This is what you shrug and say "yeah, that's fine, happy to accept this rate of death" over.

Richest man in the world wants to jail democratic socialist councillor who doesn’t serve his personal interests.

There needs to be a full-scale assault on the power of billionaires. Otherwise, democracy’s days are numbered.

Massive farmed salmon escape in Iceland. Studies have shown when farmed salmon breed with wild salmon, the offspring mature faster which undermines their ability to breed in the wild.

So let me get this straight…House republicans would rather send our young men and women into war in Europe than to continue to fund Ukraine to fight and die to protect democracy in the rest of the free world. Seriously?!

Elon Musk bashed the German government for providing some help to migrants lost at sea (and promoted a far-right political party with Nazi roots) the same day that the UN revealed that more than 2,500 people have already drowned this year in the Mediterranean. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-immigration-migrants-germany-far-right-extremism-twitter-x-2023-9

Man holding sign at gathering that says Teach Our Kids Critical Thinking So They Won't Elect Sociopathic Imbeciles

We curse the one benighted chap /

who burn whole forests, seas and skies.

Finally found the missing sock (which went missing the very first time I tried washing it). Doing laundry again today, a sock fell between the washer and the wall and I saw it fall. I could just barely reach it by hand, but I had to get on my knees to do so. When I did that, I could see there was another sock there I could not reach.

I'd seen that sock before but didn't think it was mine because the stripes were nowhere in evidence. But it fell so the mostly-grey sole was up.
