Farm workers are harvesting lettuce on CA's Central Coast. They share it was a very hot day, w/temps in the '90s. They're trying to work under the shade cast by the machine that they place the harvested lettuce on, so the sun doesn't shine directly on them. #WeFeedYou

If journalists were reality-based, they'd frame Trump quotes by saying, “Trump, who has a long history of lying, said …” Or they’d throw shade in another way. Every time.
Instead they pretend he might be telling the truth this once. Their bosses hope that keeps Trump from sabotaging their business.

Art can't just be a luxury for the few. That requires a city where artists can actually afford to live and create, and where musicians don't just receive recognition but fair pay.

That's what @local802.bsky.social organizes for and I'm so proud to have their endorsement.

Cuomo: I am now running on affordability.

I so much agree with this.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Republicans, before you vote to close 1 of 4 nursing homes, can you update us on where those people will go?

Maybe call a few seniors in your state and go over plans for where they go next?

Hmmmm . . . I wonder how the Minnesota assassin might have had access to a police uniform, a police badge, and a police cruiser. Are we *sure* he was "impersonating" a police officer?
