To those horrified by the video of the Kirk shooting, note that exact thing has occurred in K-12 classrooms 149 times in 2025.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.

But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

Trump's right: The easiest way to save money is to eliminate the "Billions and Billions" in corporate welfare Elon Musk has received.
Musk's right: Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" is a "disgusting abomination" that must be defeated.
Let's do both. It'll be a win-win for America!

June 6 is also the birthdate of Marian Wright Edelman.

She turned 86 today! She helped to establish Headstart. She is literally the founder of the Children's Defense Fund.

AND...she was the inspiration behind King's Poor People's Campaign, his last campaign before he was assassinated

Ok as an old protestor outside the US I have some advice for the people whose first protest will be the next #HandsOff. Not political advice, you got that covered. Some practical notes.
1) Close-toed sturdy shoes and good socks. Carry moleskin and blister bandaids and share them.

Amidst Flood of Anti-Trans Bills, Georgia Democrats Walk Out Incarcerated trans people are the latest target of Georgia’s crusade against the LGBT community.

1. Over 70 House Democrats walked out of their session over the state's endless attacks on transgender people.

The latest bill would forcibly detransition incarcerated trans people by cutting off their care.

The latest from S. Baum.

Senate Dems Show Spine, And National Sports Ban Bill Dies The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster.

Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture.

S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches.

History didn't change because people asked nicely. Workers didn't get weekends because bosses felt generous. Women didn't get the right to vote because politicians had a change of heart. Every right we have was fought for.

Most Christians never "move left."

They are left on the left as the Christian Right leap-frogs itself repeatedly, moving further right,

...further into toxic fundamentalism
...further away from Christ

The Right now looks more like the temptations Jesus rejected, than his Way.

The most effective and efficient way to combat poverty is to give people money; the most effective and efficient way to combat homelessness is to give people secure housing.

But America hates those facts.
