Maybe I'm Wrong

Did a deep dive on teabags after the TL told us last week they were killing us all with microplastics. I knew twinnings, stash, and a few others claimed to be plastic free, but wondered about the tech. Turns out they have this machine (worth $300,000 new, from Germany) that makes and fills the teabags and it works by pressing super thin paper together to create a long tube and then filling and filing, then using a string to stitch it back together…. By doing this they use no glue, no staples, and no plastic. Never really stopped to look but a pretty cool marvel of engineering in its simplicity. Thank you for joining me in my special interest today.

Homeowner waits until construction job is nearly done—then calls ICE on 6 of her own workers. Woman even provides the ladder used by agent to detain men—who she owes $10,000 for 3 day job. "She called the damn law on us and now we're totally screwed!" men yell in Spanish. "They surrounded us!—They surrounded us!" Agents even left behind the workers' van with doors wide open—filled with thousands of dollars worth of tools. The arrest was broadcast live for about 30 minutes by a co-worker—identified as Bryan Polanco. "Seeing it is not the same as experiencing it," he explains. "I’ve seen many videos, and sadly today I had to experience it." At the end of the video he gets the woman who called ICE on camera: "It is the same woman. Tidying up the house, and still with hatred in her heart." The incident occurred in Cambridge, Maryland.

Let me guess: It’s a calf?

People ask why I push back so hard on Donald Trump. It's simple: Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

This cracked me up!! 😹😹😹

No one is outside of God's mercy. This is almost the entirety of Jesus's message. "Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice’" (Mt 9:13). "At Pentagon Christian service, Hegseth prays for violence 'against those who deserve no mercy'" apnews.com/article/pete-h…

@CurtNAustin @RepJackKimble Impeach Jack Kimble now.

@IAngryMattI @IgnialRedgrave @paul_6465 Fair enough--It's somebody who covers her drink whenever you walk boy, walks to the opposite side of the street when you crossover, and suddenly sees an old friend at the other end of the bar when you try to talk to her.

I worry that having ICE walk around unmasked will lead to an increase in wedgies and agents getting shoved in lockers

Hey everybody, just letting you know if you have fireworks we're declaring victory in the war with Iran today at 9pm Pacific time

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.  Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion. They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us. This was not a drill. This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans. Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst. Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends. The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  bbc.com/news/articles/…

NEW: Ted Cruz endorsed an essay calling traditional Catholics “parasites.” Bishop Barron called a conservative war skeptic “absurd” and “preposterous.” Pete Hegseth’s pastor wants to ban public Masses as “idolatry.” Donald Trump's war on Iran has blown apart the Catholic-evangelical alliance that built MAGA — and the wreckage threatens JD Vance’s path to the presidency. thelettersfromleo.com/p/trumps-war-i…

🚨 Melania Trump this morning: Proposes an AI system—“Plato”—as a replacement for teachers. “Literature, art, science, mathematics, history… the entire corpus of knowledge… at home.” Replace teachers? With a machine? AI over teachers. That’s the idea. Instead of calling for better pay for our nation's educators/heroes. Sad day!

this is not a joke

I'm so sick of him. I'm sick of people pretending he's not an idiot. I'm sick of his lies and his disgusting amorality. I'm sick of his face, his voice, his smirk. I'm sick of his inability to say even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate ever. I'm just so sick of him

Senator Lindsey Graham on Israel’s bombing of Gaza: “Just flatten it. We flattened Berlin. We flattened Tokyo. We flattened Germany. We flattened Japan.” The fact that Trump lets this warmongerer into the situation room is extremely concerning.

@lavinia_colzani @aleksbrz11 No doubt Iran needed attention...but do you honestly think this war has been given even the slightest bit of attention to strategy? Israel and the world will find themselves worse off, not better, when USA walks away. And it will, because our president is an idiot.

@aleksbrz11 The only one playing the victim is Iran, which started the war against Israel in 2023 by proxy. The US and Israel are gloating atm.

🚨BREAKING NEWS Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez: (To Israel and the US) “You can’t start a fire and then complain about the smoke. Stop playing the victim.”

@aleksbrz11 The diplomacy of "actions have consequences" is finally hitting the main stage. Sanchez isn't just calling out the policy; he’s calling out the gaslighting. You can't dismantle regional stability and then act surprised when the world starts pushing back.

@BraddrofliT This is funny... but there is no federal law regarding who can vote... and it should STAY THAT WAY. I'm talking to you, Save America Act.

Wait: are we really doing this? People are arguing about how Trump voted (mail vs. in-person)… but ignoring the obvious question: Isn’t there federal law about felons voting?
