Pity these people aren’t aware what kinds of devastating diseases, losses and suffering families experienced before vaccines were available and vastly improved our public health.

“Courage is contagious and it’s spreading all over the country right now.”

@ezralevin.bsky.social and @chrislhayes.bsky.social discuss the growing backlash to Trump’s authoritarian agenda.

Enjoying international cuisines makes people more tolerant, UK study finds Frequent and varied eating found to reduce likelihood of perceiving immigrants as ‘cultural or economic threats’ Whether it is the kedgeree of the British Raj, the Victorian “penny lick” ice-creams of Manchester’s Little Italy, or the battered fish brought to the UK by Sephardic Jews, international influences on the country’s food are longstanding, diverse and many. Now, research has revealed that eating international food does not merely spice up the diet – but makes people more tolerant. Continue reading...

Governor Kotek Statement on the Mobilization of Texas National Guard to Oregon Salem, OR – Today, Governor Tina Kotek released the following statement after the Oregon National Guard was informed that the Texas National Guard is preparing a deployment to Oregon: “I have been notified that the Department of War has ordered the Texas Adjutant General to deploy 400 Texas National Guard members to ‘Illinois, Oregon, and other locations throughout the United States.’ “I have received no direct explanation from President Trump or Secretary Hegseth about the specific need for this action. It is unclear how many will go to what location and what mission they will carry out. “This is a continuation and escalation of the President’s dangerous, un-American misuse of states’ National Guard members and hard-earned taxpayer dollars. “I join Illinois Governor JB Pritzker in his call on Texas Governor Greg Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. “I will continue to keep the public apprised. As Governor, I will continue to fight to uphold the rule of law and the right to govern ourselves.”

Gov. Tina Kotek on news of Texas National Guard: "This is a continuation and escalation of the President’s dangerous, un-American misuse of states’ National Guard members and hard-earned taxpayer dollars."

Trump is ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to deploy their National Guard, ignoring the truth, lying about violence to justify his invasions.

Important to keep in mind that while the Republican-state governors sending their National Guard into Democratic states definitely think of this as conquering US, a victory for the Confederacy, those National Guard are probably pissed they are being sent away from jobs/family for this absurd mission

Judge Immergut isn’t playing around and I suspect will slam the Trump Administration for trying to end-run her order from yesterday blocking Trump’s call-up of Oregon’s National Guard in Portland.

Illinois law authorizes @govpritzker.illinois.gov to reactivate the Illinois State Guard. Normally they’re just a kind of extra reserve, but state defense forces are outside the National Guard system, they can’t be federalized.

He should do so. As he accurately put it, his state is being invaded.

Wow. Judge Immergut just issued a second TRO from the bench blocking the deployment of out of state National Guard troops to Portland. This analysis is holding up well👇

1. BREAKING

Judge Immergut, who was nominated by President Trump, has just granted a request by Oregon and California to block the deployment of National Guard troops from Texas and California to Portland.

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

Murdoch’s TikTok? Trump offers allies another lever of media control Under the known terms of the deal with China, TikTok would get a new board, including Murdochs and Ellisons

Whether it’s TikTok or Jimmy Kimmel, Trump and his wealthy allies want to decide what you watch.

I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

Kara Swisher on Jimmy Kimmel: "Nexstar is trying to do a very large merger with Tegna, and so they will do whatever it takes."

Anderson Cooper: "That's an important point, because that merger would require the approval of the FCC."

Pathetic thirsty man child whose parents did not hug him enough

The Dems deliver FOR you must be a strong message, with a side of the GOP takes for itself and FROM you

These tech and media billionaires are both profoundly avaricious AND hopelessly pathetic. And absolutely laughable. Someday the images of all their preening for and bowing and scraping to Trump will be held up as an example of how not to lead. www.instagram.com/reel/DOuEA94...

Era of The Dangerous Grifter

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

I am proud to be born a Muslim.
I am proud to be born in Somalia.
I am proud to have become an American.

None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet.
