Watch till the end. This made me laugh.
Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.
We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.
And let's take a moment to remember how much was done during the Biden administration before Trump undoes it all.

Tonight, Pete did this interview about the Trump administration rolling back consumer protections.
(And you can tell Pete is really at the airport, because you can hear a baby crying in the background. But he never misses a beat. He's the best. π)

This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.

Her answer is important for every American to hear:
The Trump administration has taken its anti-diversity agenda to such extremes that it's killing good infrastructure projects - including roadway safety improvements that I worked on with congressional Republicans - just because they went to disadvantaged areas.

Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.
If you're ever curious which projects the Biden admin & Secretary Buttigieg funded, here's the archived website where you can explore each project on an interactive map. Change the map view to "Public Investments".

These various initiatives and policy changes are often regarded as discrete problems, but they comprise a unified assault. The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science. If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americansβ ability to comprehend the world around us. Like the inquisitors of old, who persecuted Galileo for daring to notice that the sun did not, in fact, revolve around the Earth, they believe that truth-seeking imperils their hold on power.
The Trump administration is engaging on an all-out assault on the institutions, workers and standards that make learning and knowledge production possible, in the hopes of securing political dominance forever. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.
Veterans know about trust - how trust is given and how trust is earned.
Our nation continues to face a crisis of trust - and all of us can and must take action to change that.
100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.
But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.
It's up to us to demand something better.
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

If you think this canβt happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
