You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.
Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day
Thinking today of Dolores Huerta and of all the women who have been forced to choose between suffering in silence and risking the success of the broader missions they have worked to support.

Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

With the decline of scientists working for the public good (and funded on the public dime), we'll lose out on discoveries that may lead to new drugs, new cures, and new breakthroughs.
The future will arrive; it just won’t be Americans building it anymore—or profiting from it. trib.al/BGyyY4Y

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees. The government suggests — with minimal explanation and even less evidence — that doing so would result in "chaos." The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights. 14 At this preliminary stage, Plaintiffs have made a clear showing of likelihood of success on their Fifth Amendment claim.

I will be down at the Stonewall Monument today where political leaders and activists will be defiantly raising the Pride flag again at 4pm.
I will be there with my SiriusXM program, live on the air, interviewing folks there, including protesters, activists, and political leaders.
Boosting this thread again this morning, because so much of it was new to me, and too important to not know if you are following the kidnappings and interments of our neighbors:
Our little breweries, bookstores, garden centers, and gyms are showing more bravery standing up against ICE than the cowardly response of 3M, Target, Best Buy, etc.

WATCH: “In any remotely sane political climate she would be impeached, fired, or just have the good sense to resign in disgrace,” says Chris Hayes on Attorney General Pam Bondi.
If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Not going to lie, this is happening faster than I predicted, and I’m glad that it is.
I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
This isn’t a setback. This is deliberately thwarting the research and development of safe and effective medicine.
I was thinking about how blunt he is, compared to the athletes who tried to be a little more gentle and still got attacked by the president for it. Might as well say what you mean.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.
Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."
This galaxy is VERY tiny—much much smaller than our own Milky Way—& incredibly distant. But we can see it AND distinguish its shape!
How?
The light we see from it is from SO LONG AGO that the Universe was MUCH smaller at the time: we see it as it was when it was close enough to us to look big!! 🤯
In fairness, he’s no more racist than the guy who was president before Biden.
