It’s another fantastic show. I was at one of the early shows on this tour. Watching the young musicians on stage with him reacting to the crowd going wild for certain songs, was so great.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

We’re not expendable

"Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath, but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion."

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Mine always looks like a crowd has hustvswarmed through before a big storm. Bare shelves of so many items. I now go only for items I can’t get elsewhere. Plus evil Amazon ownership.

Tonight, I provided a snack kit to an unhoused neighbor with a dog. She immediately shared half the Epic meat bar with her dog.

I cried in the car all the way home.

The Democratic Party would be a lot better if it had embraced Zohran Mamdani the way it's embracing Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Remember when evidence preceded indictment? Remember when probable cause was a thing? Remember when the government couldn’t stifle speech? Remember when the government was expected to treat everyone equally? Remember when no one was above the law, including the president? Your children won’t.

Disaster imperialism in full effect in Jamaica according to family there who tell me there is now a strong US military presence under the guise of aid including military planes, drones and helicopters.

Please continue to support grassroots & mutual aid hurricane recovery efforts as you are able.

Obviously the cop should be fired but it’s Texas so he’ll probably end up in Congress

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Maybe Zohran Mamdani should have come out for ending the shutdown so Democratic Senators could have opposed it.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Haven’t seen much of Stephen Miller after he did his big media tour promoting Republican candidates leading up to Tuesday’s elections. Hopefully they are just saving him to be the face of the Republican Party for the midterms.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative
