Imagine being threatened by a rainbow….

Did you know that rainbows are regarded as a universal symbol of peace, harmony, hope and promise among other things?
They also have cultural and spiritual significance to some as well.

Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists.

A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back.

Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.

Not even the rain will keep us from speaking up for working people! 🌧️✊

Thank you AFT EVP Evelyn DeJesus for joining our union siblings at the American Federation of Government Employees and demanding that the Trump administration fix healthcare, fund the government and put workers first.

Corporations aren’t going to regulate themselves.
Billionaires aren’t going to tax themselves.
The system isn’t going to change itself.

That’s why we fight to put working class leaders in office: so we can have a government that cares for ALL of us, not just the richest of us.

Jane Goodall said she would launch Trump and Musk on one-way trip into space Primatologist said in interview released after her death she would also put Putin, Xi and Netanyahu on that spaceship

β€œEven today, when the planet is dark, there still is hope. Don’t lose hope. If you lose hope, you become apathetic and do nothing” Don't lose hope. Also, send Musk and Trump into space on a one-way ticket. 😍

It’s dark. Sam asks for a tale. Strider tells of TinΓΊviel: β€˜It is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth.

β€˜The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen
Of stars in shadow shimmering…’

Every question any reporter asks about the government shutdown should include, β€œIs it true the government is shutdown so Congress can’t vote on the release of the #EpsteinFiles?”

A painful part about being disabled and forming community among other disabled folks is the loss factor.

We live in a country that does not value life, and certainly not disabled lives.

I feel like another mutual gets lost to the system monthly and it's so damned disheartening.

Texas Corruption. This is something that Ken Paxton should go after... unless he is too corrupt to care.

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right) 
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy? 
What the hammer that hath hewn it 
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee, 
Or an external franchisee?

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

Gandalf takes his stand in the ruined ring of the fortress of Amon SΓ»l. The nine NazgΓ»l move forward in the dark and begin their attack.

Frodo and Strider, awake in their camp two days’ march to the west, see flashes of distant lightning in the direction of the Weather Hills.
