πŸ”₯ @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Um, we’re allowing Qatar to build an air force base in Idaho? Hello. Reagan, Bush Sr, and especially Eisenhower, would raise hellfire about this.

A new immigrant detention center will be opening in Indiana called the β€œSpeedway Slammer,” modeled after Florida’s β€œAlligator Alcatraz.”

On #playbookpod, Megan Messerly explains why the rhetoric used by the administration to describe these centers is significant.

A small bird with iridescent green and blue feathers sits on a thick, spiny stem. Its throat glows a deep violet, and its tail feathers shift from golden yellow to burnt orange. The bird has a bright red bill, and the background is a smooth blur of green.

I guess I shouldn't tease the name Blue-throated Goldentail without showing the golden tail!

JD Vance used Catholic theology to justify Trump's immigrant expulsion. The Pope said he was wrong. "Two moral views of the world that are clearly colliding.”

The Vatican-White House exchange is nearly unprecedented in modern history.

A man and a woman having a race. The man has a relatively clear path with two hurdles and the woman’s path is filled with obstacles and dangers and she is wearing a ball chained to her ankle.

On Martin Luther King Jr Day, we shall remember the woman who shattered ceilings to be to the first Black/Asian woman to be the American Vice President. Thank You Kamala Devi Harris for all of your work these past 4 years πŸ™πŸΎ #kamalaharris #martinlutherkingjr #blacksky

β€œCowardice asks the question, β€˜Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, β€˜Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, β€˜Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”

New Mexico: Here’s what the largest female legislative majority in US history can accomplish β€œThere’s a chance for me to help protect my girls from legislators and from laws that want to control their bodies.”

In a mostly bleak election for American women and their rights, New Mexico was an unexpected bright spot.

Even as Harris lost her bid for the White House, NM voters elected 60 women to fill the legislature’s 112 seats, giving New Mexico the largest female legislative majority in US history.
