This is exactly how we should do it.

Phang: Teachers are some of the least paid, most underappreciated people, and they work in such an intimate way in our lives. Your kids spend more time at school than they do at home, at least in waking hours. So why not encourage our teachers? Why create this oppressive environment?

Are you paying attention?

In Sudan, where children clung to life, doctors say USAID cuts have been fatal The Trump administration’s cuts to USAID had an immediate and deadly impact in war-ravaged Sudan, according to civilians, doctors and aid officials.

“Omran shouldn’t have died, doctors said. The physician at his clinic outside the Sudanese capital said basic antibiotics probably would have cured his chest infection.….the new U.S. administration froze foreign aid programs, and a stop-work order came down from Washington.”

Case in point I haven’t saved much for retirement in my 50s because I stayed part time when my parents were declining, then had a special needs kid but special needs childcare isn’t real, and my schizophrenic nephew keeps being denied disability and is out of money.

I'm now obsessed with this image of sailors on the deck of a U.S. Navy gunboat during the Civil War. The guy with the banjo. The guy with the pipe. The guy reading the newspaper. The guy holding a dog.

Post from "alt national park service" account reading "From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered. Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance." The 12.1 million figure is 300 percent more than every estimate produced by experts and scholars who carefully went through nationwide reports.

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Goldman on Trump's "Gestapo-like tactics" -- "We don't live in an authoritarian country where we have secret police who are masked, who are intimidating, who are scaring people. That's the stuff of authoritarian states. That's not how the US operates. And that's really where this is breaking down."

Republicans are trying to sell a bizarre fantasy on the economy Would you believe we're on the cusp of a miraculous eruption of prosperity unlike anything Americans have experienced before?

New in PN: Republicans are trying to sell a bizarre fantasy on the economy

"As they craft a radical budget bill, they're making claims as absurd as anything Trump offers, all adding up to a fantasy of the future so improbable that to examine it for a moment is to understand how ridiculous it is."

Lynch: "Deploying the military against a civilian population is wrong. And if we don't step up, this will continue. If we don't step up & declare what is right under our Constitution, then other cities, other citizens will meet this same fate..Trump is a wannabe gangster..I'm fighting today's Nazis"

This.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Good shepherd, risen from the dead,
you gave to the apostle Peter the care of your flock;
may #PopeLeo, be ever strengthened in charity and zeal.

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

NEW YORK TIMES (2020): U.S. DEATHS NEAR 100,000, AN INCALCULABLE LOSS

5 years ago: “An incalculable loss”

Today: Banning masks and restricting vaccine access

In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption & shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy & faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving & momentous for us all.

House passes Trump's deficit-swelling tax bill, with big Medicaid changes The House proposal would enact Trump's major campaign promises while dramatically changing Medicaid, food benefits, income taxes and border security.

www.usatoday.com/story/news/p... 140 billion for "immigration control". That's right, they are "saving" money by not helping the needy Americans to make sure they can hurt most people. That's all this is about. Everything about this says fascist eugenics is involved.

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit.

House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent.

They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

Pope Leo willing to host Ukraine peace talks in Vatican, Italy's Meloni says Following the election of the new pope, several of Ukraine's partners, including the United States, suggested that the Vatican could become a neutral platform for further peace talks.

Here is your occasional reminder that

The United States has plenty of resources to feed, house, and provide medical care for everyone

We have made a choice as a society that, rather than doing that, we would rather allow people to selfishly hoard these resources

This is a choice
