This morning I had the great pleasure of cracking open Heather Leah's new book. She explores the subject with verve and sensitivity. Her focus on *community* is just what we need today. THANK YOU, HEATHER! WELL DONE!

The Working Families Party launched a new website, PrimaryFetterman.com, that features pages dedicated to opposition research on him, volunteer recruitment and even a link to request donation refunds from his campaign — which the party said it will promote via digital ads.

TFG.

Wait, @maddow.bsky.social , how is this funny? The statement finally confirms the rumors that the new ballroom conceals a giant Presidential bunker.

Amazing how that stuff of our youth shapes us, and yet we grow into mature, complex humans, @jamellebouie.net I shocked a colleague when I told him I used to chill with the skaters & punks in school. Remain In Light was maybe my most impactful record. Joy Division & Midnight Oil also hit.

Dix Park Trolls! What a delightful experience! Six or seven thumbs up! Be sure to search for the "Thomas Dambo" map of Raleigh Trolls. (Link in first comment.)

I loved this song, @oliveklug.bsky.social . I found it on my FYP on TikTok, and shared it with my kid who is >40 years younger than my GenX self. He loved it too. So thank you!

A four day trial from a guy throwing a sandwich at an ICE thug!?

How is this not abuse of judicial process?!

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

How the mass shooting and a devastating fire unfolded at a Michigan church | CNN At least four people were killed at the church in tranquil Grand Blanc Township. Eight others were wounded. And up to seven people could be unaccounted for as search crews resume a harrowing search in...

I hate to say this, but the politics of the murderer/arsonist make no difference to Trump. The authoritarian ruler gains support with ANY kind of chaos and violence. It is ALL justification for further controls, more policing, and even military intervention.

Just cancelled my Disney+ subscription. Haven't watched in ages anyway. Less money for the minions of fascism.

I love this so much. (You simply MUST click through.)

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

China builds record-breaking floating wind turbine — it could change the face of renewable energy Floating offshore wind turbines open a whole new playing field for energy companies, which have so far had to stick to shallow waters.

Hear that?? That's the giant sucking sound of money leaving USA as Trump bludgeons our domestic wind industry, and China surges forward into a dominant position.

A 17 MW wind turbine is astonishing.

How do I get out of the part of BlueSky dominated by this soap opera called beebeetwentyseven ??? OMG, 3 out of 4 posts are about this tripe! Please someone help me! I'm muting posts as fast as I can. What else can I do?!

That's what I'm talkin about.

#SCOOP FROM AN ANONYMOUS INTERNAL SOURCE: Sunbelt Rentals is the only provider for HVAC and power equipment to Alligator Auschwitz, along with some moving equipment and the temporary structures. Sunbelt wants to keep it quiet, even internally--not many people in the company know about this.

#NoKings rally in tiny #PittsboroNC got me and 1,200 others #FiredUp yesterday! So encouraging to gather with so many neighbors who care deeply about the Constitution, liberty, rule-of-law, and Due Process. The Resistance is strong. We can't let the fascists get us down!

I love it that the WalMart heiress (by marriage) is boosting the NO KINGS movement.

This is so good. Every word is perfect. Her tone, her delivery, everything. I can't believe it's not viral yet.

people like this florida local news meteorologist explaining why he's no longer confident he can deliver good information about hurricanes are probably some of the most important people in the country right now

We white folks would do well to be prepared for this kind of support to our neighbors.
