59 rotations around the sun. Thank goodness for a small tight circle in Greencastle to celebrate with, and wine shipped in from Napa Valley. It was a birthday to remember!

๐Ÿ“ŒPoverty is not a crime;
๐Ÿ“ŒSlavery was a disgrace to America;
๐Ÿ“ŒHitler was a monster who murdered millions;
๐Ÿ“ŒFree speech is a constitutional right;
๐Ÿ“ŒImmigrants built this country;

Things you'll never hear from the GOP.

It's always hard to describe my experiences at @kimbiliofiction.com. The way the dusk light falls over the backdrop at Wild Acres Retreat here in Little Switzerland, N.C., captures it with a handful of my fellow Kimbees in a circle, enjoying one another's presence. #kimbilioretreat2025

These are the members of the House that voted to strip healthcare from 17 million Americans & siphon money from working families to give major tax cuts to the rich.
It's time to use our power & vote them all out.

Bernie Sanders Is Showing Democrats How Itโ€™s Done The Vermont senator is taking his anti-Trump tour to red Americaโ€”and itโ€™s a smash hit.

"By rejecting passivity, Sanders is also doing more to actually put Republicansโ€”whoโ€™ve recently been ordered to abandon town halls in the wake of mounting anger from their own votersโ€”under pressure."

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Mike Johnson is beyond pathetic. Blaming Dems for Republican failures. He just needs to stop taking his orders from President-Elect Musk. Pass the original bill.
