Retired & living my best life by the North Atlantic in blustery NL. Recovering legal beagle and former public servant, who’s still interested in public and civic life, and all things complex and political.
Marandi: Trump single-handedly has convinced many Iranians that Iran should develop a nuclear weapon, despite the fact that the government, the leader, and political parties, for the most part, are still saying we shouldn’t pursue nuclear weapons, at least for now.
Coons: "My first question to those who are on the 'leave behind' decoy plane would be, do you realize the president just isn't that into you?"
Phang: This was so important because Judge Sullivan made it very clear to these DOJ attorneys that he's willing and able to do it. He doesn't want to hold them in contempt, but he's done it before and he'll do it again.
ICE entered a small Maine town searching for someone with a removal order. Instead, an officer killed 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero—who officials admit was not the target. With no body-camera footage, furious protesters are demanding the truth. #Biddeford #ICE #Justice
ICE Kills 26-Year-Old Who Wasn’t Even Its Target—Then Furious Protesters Flood a Tiny Maine City Demanding Answers
Joan Sebastian Guerrero was reportedly on his way to work when federal immigration officers surrounded the area near his Biddeford home. He was not the person they had come to arrest. Minutes later…

As someone so aptly wrote: “One is a soulless, foreign-made device, sold by one shady businessman to another. The other is a robot.”
I put an air-to-air heat pump into our house about 5 years ago, replacing a wood stove. It turned out to be one of my best decisions. And that was even BEFORE I realised this summer that it can double as a cooling system in the heatwaves that will keep getting worse with climate breakdown.
Dr Paul Dorfman @drpauldorfman.bsky.social · 2d ago'It’s been a revelation': how heat pumps can cool your home as temperatures soar. It might seem an unlikely way to stop overheating, but many owners have found the tech a lifeline in hot weather. "If it is 35C outdoors, I can get the temperature down to 21C" www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Steve Gunther recently celebrated the 20th birthday of his beloved cat, Dublin. Reaching 20 years of age is a rare milestone for cats and is often compared to a human living beyond 95 years. Original post
Hey Marco Rubio: Stop spreading propaganda. Cuba is NOT a national security threat to the United States. You have no business being Secretary of State or holding any elected or appointed office.
This is really the best argument on why the Israeli intel that caused the Great Catering Truck Escape was probably bogus.
We just dropped our newest ad — and this one’s special. It features my PawPaw — a Baptist preacher who taught me to follow the two great commandments: love God & love neighbor. Those teachings led me to public service and they’re why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.
Ossoff on Mike Collins: "What he's saying to the people of Georgia is after cutting their healthcare, throwing 300k of them off their health insurance, doubling health insurance premiums for more than 1 mil Georgians, he's then going to take their tax dollars and pay it out to violent criminals."
Celebrating Karoline Leavitt leaving, while also realizing there’s a very good chance someone just as terrible will replace her.
The arrogance of humanity is thinking we own the Earth. We don't. We belong to it. 🧵
Delta Airlines charging me for my bag? That's obnoxious. Delta Airlines charging me to book a seat? That's obnoxious. But Delta Airlines working with ICE to ship people to concentration camps is COLLABORATION. Boycot #delta
I give my elderly, frail neighbours a meal once a week. This week’s basket has freshly baked homemade buttermilk biscuits and chicken stew with veg from my CSA share. It doesn’t take much to add a couple portions when you’re #Cooking #LoveThyNeighbour #Kindness
JFC ban these sex crime glasses in healthcare. If anyone you know buys them it is your duty to mock them until they stop wearing them.
Woman Calls Out Doctor Wearing Smart Glasses During Consultation Where She Had To Take Off Her Clothes: 'They Need To Be Banned'
A woman's discomfort with a doctor wearing smart glasses during a consultation has sparked debate over privacy and the use of camera-equipped technology in healthcare settings.

This seems like an entirely rational position to take.
I will never support a Kushner owned Business. Fuck the Lakers.
on this day 1952 blues artist Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton records "Hound Dog" for the first time, Elvis recorded his version of it 4 years later.
MORE OF THIS! Mayor Mamdani proves every single day what good it is possible to do, if you don’t hold specific lines in a city’s budget as “untouchable “. This can work at the state and national level too. But Corporate Dems need to get with this program or #getoutoftheway

We inherited a living planet. We are leaving behind plastic oceans, choking skies, and vanishing forests. This is not development. This is debt. And our children will pay it.
As a Christian, Karoline Leavitt has decided that lying to people face-to-face, instead over a television, is more personal and uplifting to the glory of God. Glory!
