Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Donโ€™t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

Editorial: We must all advocate for Andryโ€™s release Gay makeup artist Andry Jose Hernรกndez Romero sits in a notorious prison in El Salvador for no good reason.

I have been advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & now it's time to also put our attention onto Andry Hernandez Romero.

trump condemned him to CECOT, in El Salvador. He came here as a gay man to seek asylum; he committed no crime in the U.S. and has followed all the steps here to seek asylum.

After all the news of Kilmar I was deep diving yesterday about this young man. I was wondering what happened to the outcry for him. They originally said 75% of them were unlawfully taken. What do we know about the others?

Bluesky, please make this go viral. This beloved teacher in my FL district is losing her job for using a student's preferred name. Students are protesting & started these petitions. Please share & sign. (Read my pinned post on @litinspired.bsky.social and see how red and awful this county is.)

I would have liked to believe that the Dodgers, the organization that broke the color barrier & has the most diverse team in baseball, would have known enough not to go to this White House. Shame on them.

The public library is one of the most powerful ideas ever. Walk in with nothingโ€”walk out with a world of knowledge. That kind of freedom is priceless. On Right to Read Day, letโ€™s remind everyone that libraries are worth fighting for. #NationalLibraryWeek #BookSky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š #TLSky

I donโ€™t get it. Iโ€™m in the district of FL where the CO founder of moms for liberty was my school board member. Iโ€™m a teacher and so many colleagues voted for him. ๐Ÿคฌ But when the special ed teacher said sheโ€™s happy heโ€™s gutting DOE my mouth dropped.

Yesterday I pinned a lengthy post about how I partnered with my dad to start putting neighborhood libraries everywhere. I explained how red my county is. Forgot to even mention, this is where Randy Fine started his political career.๐ŸคฎThought Trump was bad? Randy Fine is worse. More vile & vindictive.

Cory Booker Just Gave The Longest Speech In The History of The US Senate Only two men have spoken on the floor of the U.S. Senate...

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.โ€

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA?

President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plantsโ€ฆ

The book is called โ€œThe Jungle.โ€

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
