We are a secular democracy. If you don't like the freedom of religion, you are welcome to move somewhere else.

In America, you can be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or anything else. It's written into our Constitution. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Get lost with this garbage.

I got one too, wasn’t it beautiful? I ran outside in my pajamas. It was 21°. The moon was so low in the southern sky. I see from my moon app that it was 10° elevation. #moonphotography #okanogan

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

I am not going to vote to cut a blank check for ICE and let them detain, brutalize, shoot, or kill more American citizens just because Donald Trump started an unconstitutional war that no one asked for.

KLOBUCHAR: Are you aware agents bashed in the door of a citizen?

NOEM: I can't speak to specifics

K: Do you believe he was involved in fraud? Are you aware he's son of a beloved nurse that treated our soldiers in Vietnam? Did they have a judicial warrant? Are you aware he tried to show his ID?

75 years ago, the 22nd Amendment was ratified.

It’s a good day to remember what the 22nd Amendment ratified: that presidents are limited to TWO terms in office.

No exceptions.

The American people do not want another endless war in the Middle East. We have seen the human, moral, and financial costs of unilateral regime-change wars. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Our Members of Congress have both the authority and the responsibility to act.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

"I don't know how to save the world. I don't have the answers or The Answer. I hold no secret knowledge as to how to fix the mistakes of generations past and present. I only know that without compassion and respect for all of Earth's inhabitants, none of us will survive-nor will we deserve to."

Book cover: Mother Tongue by Sara Nović as black letters with the corresponding ASL letters overlaid in white, on a yellow background. My hand (with thick silver rings on it) is holding it up against some greenery (an indoor plant was the best I could find this time of year)

Just read @novicsara.bsky.social's upcoming MOTHER TONGUE and can already tell I'll be recommending it widely!

The personal story parts are smoothly paced with the history, science, and broader social context. It's hard to make storytelling look this easy

Notice how we can convert empty warehouses into concentration camps, but we can't turn them into housing for the homeless.

Tonight’s state of the union.

This guy gets it.

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

The Ghosts of Colonialism Haunt Our Batteries With its cobalt and lithium mines, Congo is powering a new energy revolution. It contains both the worst horrors of modern metal extraction—and the seeds of a more moral economics.

One way to reconcile climate goals with the terrible toll batteries are taking on communities is simple, writes Nicolas Niarchos: We should listen to the people who live in the places where we get our minerals. https://bit.ly/4bNxCwE
