And if you’re wondering β€œWhy is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

Casting a vote in a polling station is a constitutionally protected right.

Murdering people in cold blood in the street is not.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, Mr. Emmer.

The Republican Party have abandoned the Ukrainian people; the party of Ronald Reagan is dead to me as they salivate after Putin & Orban.

When The Republican Party sends their paramilitaries out to the *enemy* states it means the killing of observers is A-ok. Trump/Vance/Bondi have your back.
Register to vote. Vote at every opportunity. With our votes & our resistance to the wanton murders of US CITIZENS will we survive this regime.

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are:

Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job.

Thanks

If a reporter seriously asks a politician "do you believe President Trump is racist?" the only proper response from a politician is "Absolutely. Do you think he's *not* racist?"

This isn't remotely hard. And if you can't say it, step aside.

U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but labor market growth stalled in 2025 The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

US had almost *no* job growth in 2025.

Hiring numbers were revised down by over a million jobs.

Largest annual revision in over 20 years.

I see that only a tiny fraction of you, my Bluesky friends, also follow @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social on here. Why not go follow right now? My guess is the more eyeballs we get here, the more attention we can give Bluesky relative to other social media platforms!

What Measles Did to My Family My mom always told me that measles was what made my sister sick. I was 8 when she finally explained the whole thing.

The return of measles will mean the return of SSPE.

If you don't know what that is, read this. www.voicesforvaccines.org/what-measles...

β€œI Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

We'll let their words speak for themselves.

Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

Gov. Pritzker is a welcome relief from the Epstein Class of the Republican Party where conspiracy theorists & white Christian nationalists spout off endlessly while grocery, utility, healthcare costs soar through the roof! Trump’s oligarchy believes we don’t πŸ‘€ them.

When two young Zderad brothers, ages 13 and 14, arrived at Ellis Island from Bohemia in 1910, sent from the farming village by their parents, they were not coming for Eng-Scot-Irish culture.

Each had $10 in his pocket.

One would become my wife's grandfather.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
