Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!

Charlie Kirk was a private citizen

Melissa Hortman was a seated lawmaker in MN

No Flags were flown half staff at the WH for her death by gun violence

3 children were shot in a Denver high school today. There was an assassination at a political event on campus.

We need to protect our schools from guns and political violence.

I don't know why I keep reaching in my mind for this analogy but American political culture feels to me right now like what Moses found when he returned from Mt Sinai and everyone had said "screw it" and started worshipping the golden calf.

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.

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

The AI bubble is gonna burst and we’re gonna end up in an economic crisis amplified by high unemployment and high inflation.

All because eggs were $5 for like 3 weeks in 2022.

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.

In Chile's Atacama, world's driest desert, growing lettuces with fog In Chile's arid Atacama, the driest desert in the world, growers and researchers are looking to harness water from the very air itself to grow lettuces and lemons, using a net to catch drops of moisture from fog.

Here's some positive news, when the news cycle feels heavy. Hopefully, we can see more of this in places that are being affected by climate change.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Silence

Is

Complicity

Straighten your spine
Speak & live your truth

I came across this quote from Bourdain, and it put things into perspective in the chaos of current events.

The SAVE Act isn’t about voting. It’s about normalizing citizenship status on government identification. And in the process, deputizing state officials for otherwise federal purposes by triggering an immigration duty on routine local enforcement, letting the fed govt circumvent the constitution.

He’s my senator and he did not vote for it. Both him and the other senator from Rhode Island did not vote for it.

This may be we controversial take but everything going on with trump 2.0 is the karma to the people who “wouldn’t” vote for @hillaryclinton.bsky.social in 2016.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

well, a very big congrats to the idiots on Wall Street that ignored every single sign that he was going to do this

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

it’s liberation day! — for the money in your 401k

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000.

Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600.

The US must end its complicity.

Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

I feel this.

Man. There are a lot of cynics out there. If what Booker is doing doesn’t bring YOU joy, there’s no need to shit all over everyone else’s appreciation.

Just in case you missed this from Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker:

"Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face."

France's Le Pen faces crunch day in graft trial that could kill her presidential hopes French far-right leader Marine Le Pen faces one of the defining days of her political career on Monday, when a court rules whether she is guilty of embezzlement in a trial that could see her barred from the 2027 presidential race.

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzlement. Prosecutors have asked that she be banned from elected office for five years, which would mean she can't run for the presidency in 2027, for which she is currently the frontrunner.
