A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending Americaβs gunβviolence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

Rotunda of the US Capitol where people are standing, many in military camouflage, holding signs that read "End the War on Iran" among other messages.
The #BraveOfUS stand up and confront power and that's exactly what @vetsaboutface.bsky.social is doing with 150 veterans and active duty military in the Capitol rotunda right now to demand Congress end this criminal war on Iran.
I hoped someone else had the answer, because it's a good question. They're "behind the times," it's apparently complicated according to what little is known, and of course HIPAA violations was my first thought. But it didn't take long before I wondered why they don't just talk to each other? π

Why not!
He's up to 21 PTS and 3 triples as the Spurs lead Game 1 at the break!
San Antonio's Tower of the Americas lit up with colors in the background, and "Playoffs" with a Spur highlights the foreground.
It's been a long seven seasons in the making!

"Police said the attacks began before sunrise in a neighborhood south of downtown Shreveport when the suspect shot a woman at one home and then drove to the other location where this heinous act was carried out.β
"The 16 pages of memos, exchanged in a five-day dash, provide an extraordinarily rare window into the court, showing how the justices talk to one another outside of public view."

Thomas: Progressivism requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a Constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.
To him, that origin is a deity rather than the constitution itself.
A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.
BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans.
After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company.
Now, the states have won.
If corporations are legally persons why donβt they face the same kind of punishment when they commit crimes?
These criminals are telling on themselves. 45 is a puppet. Period.

A little truth from No Kings day...
NEWβI got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.
'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
Italy has become the first in the world to legally recognize that caring for a domestic animal can justify an authorized absence, in some cases, a paid one.
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
Very true...
May Victor OrbΓ‘n simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
So sorry for your losses! This happened to me in 2020..
