This is fucking amazing

Please share: If you watch one thing today make it this and ask everyone you know in California to vote YES on Prop50!

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

If the government shuts down, it's because Republicans chose to shut it down rather than work with Democrats to pass a responsible budget.

Kkk

The KKK is America’s oldest white terror network built on lynching murder and bombings. They fueled decades of racial terror and remain a symbol of hate. Their history is drenched in blood and intimidation. They are not designated a terrorist organization.

Guns

PB fight

The Proud Boys are violent far right extremists tied to street fights, intimidation with the use of weapons, & the Jan 6 insurrection. Leaders were convicted of seditious conspiracy. They glorify violence & attack democracy itself. They are not designated a terrorist organization.

AHIP Statement on Vaccine Coverage AHIP is the national association whose members provide health care coverage, services, and solutions to hundreds of millions of Americans every day. We…

While new ACIP is set to make its recommendations later this week, AHIP says “Health plans will continue to cover all ACIP-recommended immunizations that were recommended as of September 1, 2025, including updated formulations of the COVID-19... with no cost-sharing... through the end of 2026."

If you’re scared of what comedians have to say about you…

You’re weak.

Fascism is for losers.

Honestly folks.

The bluster & bullying & “how dare they say that?,” & silencing, & censoring?

It’s weakness x 10.

If you’re really strong, jokes don’t matter.

Only if you’re banking on fear to give you power do jokes matter.

That’s why authoritarians HATE being poked fun at.

No fear=no power.

Then talk about this!

Please, the U.S. Open asked us not to share any video of the president being booed heavily by an entire stadium, please respect their wishes, please

This is unconscionable. And illegal.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

Roles reversed: A veteran Gaza aid worker pleads for survival An aid worker in northern Gaza tells NPR that people are starving, water is scarce and basic supplies are out of reach. He warns thousands could die in the coming days if nothing changes.

Dear Media,

When he says the gas prices have come way down to below $1.99, YOUR job is to ask where and inform viewers that the lowest is Mississippi with $2.70.

Do your job.

Marco Rubio, this you bro?

The US satire cartoon show South Park secured a five-year deal worth $1.5 billion with Paramount Global. They began their season with this clip, challenging Trump to sue them.

The White House was forced to react to South Park as Trump completely loses it with rage, calling the show “not relevant” and "hanging on by a thread," despite the show recently securing a $1.5 billion deal.

Trump is considering suing over ‘tiny penis’ allegations.

NEW: GOP attacks on U.S. elections have clashed with America’s pro-democracy stance abroad. Rubio’s move to silence diplomats on fair elections removes that tension, potentially aiding Trump’s efforts to rig upcoming elections, @maxbone55.bsky.social writes.

Justice Dept. Asks for 1-Day Sentence for Ex-Officer Convicted in Breonna Taylor Raid

They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be.

There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people.
