To those who celebrate 🎉

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.

So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Well done, love you guys, keeping us sane and motivated!

Artemisia wears a brown apron over her green dress and seems to be leaning on a stone slab used for grinding pigments in which the reflection of her left arm is visible. She is shown at work on a delightful painting of dogs playing poker, with one adorable scamp visible holding his cards close to his nose. She used the ground left exposed to suggest areas of shadow: particularly striking is the rolled up sleeve of her right arm, where fluid strokes of white delineating the edge of her sleeve meet the brown shadow of exposed ground. The position of the fingers of her right hand are different in infra-red reflectography and x-radiography, suggesting that the artist was resolving this area as she worked, eventually lengthening the index finger.

Recent cleaning of Artemisia Gentileschi's “Allegory of Painting” (Royal Collections, London) shows she was the first artist to specialize in portrayals of dogs playing poker, likely for Charles I, an avid player. The fact that a woman invented this important genre has been overlooked for centuries

Come on @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Start taking shifts, @democrats.org! THIS is what resistance looks like!

This is the answer.

Who cares about the journalist? He was the most professional member of the group. The scandal is these idiots engaged in secret national security on insecure commercial phone apps - and one member on his personal phone in Moscow.

Thanks for the two Odd Couple shout outs, he was brilliant.

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

Chris Coons said he’d been to surprise parties with better security!

I wanted to know how to help the Democratic Party get back in touch with regular working people. So I sent a bunch of burners to tech CEOs.

This is not good news.

Bison cantering down the road in the park. Snow all around and a line of traffic a mile long behind them.

This isn't a walk in the park
But we got this.
Hang in there people
And
RESIST

🚨🚨🚨Senate Republicans are trying to jam through a disastrous spending bill that would rip funding from programs that millions of Americans rely on: Veterans benefits, nutrition assistance, and health care benefits. We have to stop it.

Call your senators NOW— tell them to VOTE NO: (202) 224-3121

Same and i hate podcasts.

This reads like my resume haha

Dems concede Republicans ‘running circles’ around them online as Trump remakes Washington The Democratic response to Trump, one Texas lawmaker said, is “too slow and too tepid and not meeting the moment.”

I'm a Democratic committee person here in Philly and this article is right on the money. A roomful of retirees is not gonna cut it.

The Physics That Keeps a Crowd From Becoming a Stampede A group of scientists studying the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, Spain, believe there’s a way to predict the motions of a large crowd.

Good info to have for tonight on Broad Street.

We told you.

Shades of Brett Kavanaugh. Waiting for him to ask Senators if they "like beer."

Wait they're doing it lengthwise?!

The poster for this movie does NOT do it justice, an astonishing film from 27 year-old Stanley Kubrick. The camera work, especially, is worthy of note, I found myself gasping at shot after shot and the fight in the mannequin factory is so close to being over the top, but it's not. Perfection.
