Hey, Alaskans! If you re-elect Sullivan and the Republicans retain control of the Senate, there's a chance Greenland will be the 51st state and it's 25% bigger'n Alaska! You gonna stand for being 2nd place?

Late to the party here, but I like the cut of her jib. Will she win? I dunno, but they will scream Fraud! if she does, and she'll be kept out of her seat for a year.

Peltola's consultants spamming me with 10-20 texts daily since she announced demanding money can fuck right off. I mark em as spam and like the Hydra, two more grow to replace it.

I like her but this insane barrage typical of the tired old DLC bullshit is a huge turn-off.

Kay Ducky's avatar

To them, it's marketing and rallying the troops, but they have phones and see how this looks to regular voters, right?

Zyxomma's avatar

Ta, Dok. I like Peltola, and hope she can do the near-impossible.

Kay Ducky's avatar

Do people still say "Word." anymore?

I seriously doubt Maine has learned its lesson.

We keep the promised two term, trump taint licker , roe killer , concerned Collins.

She promises the BIW trump chuds the war contracts for jerbs, all the while right to working them, while they live under union protections.

Maine: Fish AND Militias!

Thanks. Now a monthly contributor to Mary Peltola.

I know Evan has something new up, but I’m just gonna stick with this one for now, because happy articles are rare enough that we ought to eke all the happy out of them that we can.

It appears that the interior decorator who relocated the cushion from the cat tree has outed herself. https://substack.com/@ontheotherhand124816/note/c-199406436?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=106di

BREAKING: Louisiana Seeks to Extradite California Abortion Provider

In September, Abortion, Every Day broke the news that Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill had signed an arrest warrant for California abortion provider Dr. Remy Coeytaux, accusing him of illegally mailing abortion pills into the state. Today, the Republican AG ramped up her efforts—making a splashy social media announcement that she’s signed an extradition request for Coeytaux.

“This is not healthcare; it’s drug dealing,” she said. Coeytaux is charged with violating a Louisiana statute banning “criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs,” and faces up to 50 years of hard labor.

Coeytaux is the second abortion provider Louisiana has targeted with criminal charges and extradition. In January 2025, a grand jury indicted New York provider Dr. Maggie Carpenter on felony abortion charges, with Murrill signing an extradition order a few weeks later:

....but those black market Viagra tablets those Lousiana fellows have mailed to their home are just FINE, aren't they, you hypocritical harridan.

Kay Ducky's avatar

Seeing those commercials is the worst part of having insomnia.

NewLarry's avatar

Upfist for "harridan"!

I absolutely love learning new words, and you seem to know lots of good ones. And I've commented before on your alliterative abilities.

Kay Ducky's avatar

English, by way of the French, meaning tired, old horse. Etymology is fun too!

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

*googles her*

Yeah, she's all for that

Elviouslyqueer's avatar

Thanks for solving all the rest of the state's problems so you could busy yourself with this nonsense, Liz.

josephebacon's avatar

Newsom should tell the Louisiana AG to go to hell!

I'm just saying, Alaska joining Canada makes way more sense than America invading Greenland.

Our so-called aspiring Canadian boyfriend (although I don’t think he’s called himself that recently) declined. Said something about having enough frozen wasteland already…

clairence's avatar

When will we agree that whistles and shouting aren't getting it done against masked, armed gangs? Do we wait until the takeover is complete to revolt?

Please elaborate.

I live in NE Minneapolis, two blocks from Central Avenue, a busy thoroughfare that is home to countless businesses owned by, and catering to immigrants. Every storefront and restaurant represents a different community. It’s one of the reasons I bought my house here.

For the last hour, there has been a constant barrage of car horns, shouting and banging coming from Central Avenue. What there hasn’t been is the usual afternoon multilingual shouts of the dozens of kids who play on the supervised playground of the church across the alley from me, the church that also houses an ESL school.

This neighborhood is home to hundreds of kids of all ethnicities, who are trapped in their homes for their own safety, listening to the sounds of literal warfare in their neighborhood. Because of Trump’s bigotry and his followers’ hatred and desire for violence.

I wish I could tell each of those kids it’s going to be okay. It’s not, but I still wish I could let them know most of us are on their side.

clairence's avatar

So I stopped in and heard another version of "affordability!"

America is almost completely over the cliff, and Dems are still focused on the air conditioning.

Wine moms are catching strays for protesting ICE now. Where was my invite? I'm a puppy mom and I like a good pinot grigio. Remember January 6th had no wine.

Parakeetist's avatar

Yeah, if they'd been a little slonked on a good rose, they wouldn't be wanting to fight.

OT: Huh. Scott Adams ('Dilbert') has deaded at age 68. Condolences to his family.

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

Oh no! Anyway, I think I'm have slow cooked sausage and potato stew this evening.

PuraVida's avatar

That reminds me. It's time to take out the trash.

NewLarry's avatar

I just finished some Hungarian sausage, parsleyed potatoes and sauerkraut. With a beer (2).

'Twill be an aromatic evening.

The Wanderer's avatar

Yum! I have baked chicken thighs with corn lined up for dins. Maybe a one-ounce cube of chocolate halvah for dessert.

Parakeetist's avatar

Chocolate halvah. Birb 'bout to Passe Outte. :)

The Wanderer's avatar

I confess I've never tried it before. Not bad.

Parakeetist's avatar

It is so yummy. If you can get a big bunch of it at the grocery store, you will truly have fun.

The Wanderer's avatar

My local market sells Joyva brand. 8 ounce bar, and the price is a tad high.

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

That also sounds exellent!

The Wanderer's avatar

I did nothing to the chicken apart from sprinkling them with harissa powder. Simple and to the point.

Elviouslyqueer's avatar

Spaghetti and meatballs for the EQ casa. Followed by a slice of Bavarian cream-filled king cake, as one does.

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

Also a damn fine choice!

Ruththecatlady's avatar

That sounds delicious.

Elviouslyqueer's avatar

I look forward to reading his obituary with great pleasure.

Chemical's avatar

Here's one that I'm writing right now

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, died today. He kicked off his career in 1989 with his successful Dilbert comic, which he eventually ran into the ground because he forgot what jokes and humor are. As typical with right-wing converts, he embraced medical quackery that prevented him from seeking treatment for the cancer he had, which led to his death.

RIP. Whether P stands for peace or for piss is entirely up to the reader.

Elviouslyqueer's avatar

"He was alive, and now he is unalive. The end."

The Wanderer's avatar

Maybe they'll have Catbert deliver the eulogy.

Gary Seven in Space's avatar

"Nothing of value was lost..."

Parakeetist's avatar

"This guy. He died.

End."

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

"Don't let me slow your search for someone who cares"

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

That's a real catbert line from when he didn't suck donkey balls.

eta: I use it a lot

Parakeetist's avatar

His comic strip was kinda okay.

He was a racist racist racist, and if there's any Pearly Gates, he may have a problem getting his ID checked.

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

His comic strip really really went downhill. Was just a bunch of screeds about pronouns in the end.

Free beach's avatar

Woke pronouns. Bye Felicia

Jeff, still got my guitar's avatar

I was working in the "cube farm world" when he started and it was a few chuckles for sure. Then I guess he decided to unleash his inner self on his readers. It was ugly from there on out. Prostate cancer got him apparently, 68 is young for that.

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but there there are some I wouldn't wish it on more than others.

The Wanderer's avatar

Fast slide into irrelevancy.

Ruththecatlady's avatar

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

The Wanderer's avatar

I can think of better candidates.
