Driving didn’t “naturally” become inevitable. We designed a society that make driving inevitable in most places. We can design something different

Wayne Shorter Wanted Everyone to See His Archives. Soon, They Will.

Wayne Shorter often composed with the TV news in the background. Why? “I need to know,” he said, “what I’m writing the antidote for.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/a...

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

This smoking a cigarette, and the text says Jesus, watching the worst people on the planet claim to be his followers

Seriously, they're the worst!

It shouldn’t have to be said twice. No semantics or technicalities here.
Kindness and love to ALL people. ♥️ 🌈

We, the people, have spoken!

Utterly surreal hearing silence during the match instead of being lead by the 3252. Powerful AF. #lafc #abolishice

ANDOR creator Tony Gilroy praises Kathleen Kennedy for the success of the show:

“Kathy just kept saying yes…There’s no show without her. For all the shit that she takes online, it’s just insane. This show exists because she forced it to happen. What a tough job she has, man.”

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

Today marks Yom HaShoah — the day of remembrance for the six million Jewish lives who were murdered during the Holocaust.

It’s our responsibility together to fight the rise of antisemitism, bigotry, and hatred wherever it is found.

Never again means never again.

Pope Francis showed the world how to lead with empathy and humility.

Extending a hand to help anyone in need, "the People's Pope" inspired millions who drew strength and compassion from him to embrace peace.

May his memory be a blessing.

I believe I can best serve the nation on the home front battling our most insidious foes ... I hereby dedicate myself and all my tremendous powers to this all-important purpose. I shall fight the enemies-from-within until they are all smashed, until the battle against oppression is won and until kindness and humanity again rule the world!

For Superman Day 2025, I give you The Superman Creed of 1942: "I shall fight the enemies-from-within until they are all smashed, until the battle against oppression is won and until kindness and humanity again rule the world!"

It turns out a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster does not make for a good President.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

America was founded on the basic protection against unlawful imprisonment.

Due process is a fundamental right in our constitution.

Denying it or defending those who deny it is unamerican and illegal.

Appeals court rejects Justice Dept argument in Abrego Garcia case

"It's difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case it's not hard at all. The govt is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons w/out the semblance of due process"

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.

1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President.

Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.

They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Republicans pulled their budget vote—surprise! They’re too busy fighting each other to govern.

They might be split on the math, but they agree on this: cutting services for working families & rewarding billionaires.

This ain’t a budget—it’s a blueprint to rob the people.
