El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

An old hippie, 71, retired, widowed and hanging on for all I'm worth. I LOVE Sci-Fi, nature photography, my adopted state of Oregon, dogs, dogs, dogs and people too. I'm a progressive liberal atheist humanist and won't apologize for being any of those.✌🏻
Dear @normeisen.bsky.social, As Mr. Hearns legal council I sincerely hope that you'll encourage him to file a civil suit against trump, Pirro and Burgum who all three I believe can be proven to have known the facts and knew he had not vandalized the reflecting pool while they publicly stated that
Hey Portlanders, don't forget to close the air intake off in your car if you have to go out in this smoke.

On one hand, it's a good thing CBS finally told the truth. On the other hand, CBS can still go fuck themselves. Bullshit artist Bari Weiss and the Ellison family, even with all their money, can't buy back credibility. And smart Americans will never forgive them for what they did to Stephen Colbert.
UPDATE: CBS News reverses course, airs story on 9/11 families supporting Mamdani
Last week, CBS News New York falsely reported that “thousands of 9/11 victims’ families are asking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year’s solemn remembrance ceremony.” The articl...

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
The faith claim is that god knows everything that happens and arranges everything that happens to everyone on earth. That would mean that god put that serial killer in someone's life or that rapist or that abusive parent or spouse or caused that car to crash into another car
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
The word atheist should not even exist because having no belief in any deities is every human being's natural state of mind. Everyone ever born on planet earth was born not believing in any deities or even knowing what a deity is but must be taught by their parents/community.
If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.
It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.
I could listen to him for hours. Brian Cox is not only very, very, very smart but he's also very nice and quite personable in person. I've been fortunate to have found out for myself for about ten minutes here in Portland. He's very nice and down to earth. A lovely man. youtube.com/watch?v=FwpE...

I just watched the intro for a YouTube video on how to make theater popcorn. The guy in the video started it by saying, "There are a ton of videos on the internet telling you how to mags the prefect theater popcorn." I immediately finished that comment in my head, '...and I'm just one more of them!'
Okay I'm still shocked. My 45 year old son that loves anime, scifi (like his mom) and action movies chose a romcom for our movie night tonight. He requested 'Voicemails for Isabelle'. I'm still in shock. He's never been one for romance at all. Oh well, just goes to show that you never really know
