So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
NEW: A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that key actions Trump took to delay solar and wind projects across the U.S. were illegal (me for @heatmap.news)

Reminder that Louisiana does NOT have universal background checks or red flag laws.
The state DOES have the site of the most recent mass shooting that stole the lives of eight young kids. Louisiana leaders must act now to pass the laws proven to save lives.
Today we remember the horrific tragedy of the Columbine shooting. 27 years later, it is a disgrace that gun violence is still the leading cause of death for children in America.
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 America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.
The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.
It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.
A four-hour documentary from 1969 about life in Nazi-occupied France chronicles the way that many ordinary citizens simply lived their lives as if nothing had changed, @dgraham.bsky.social writes. "The Sorrow and the Pity" is more relevant than ever:
If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?
It's National Library Week!
Thank you to librarians everywhere.

Reminder: The Trump regime cancelled nearly $500 million in federal contracts for mRNA vaccine development last year.
This is what humane leadership looks and sounds
like.
Thank you Connie 💚 This hour of programming is brought to you by… Connie Ballmer 💚 she gave a cool $80 million, plus another big anonymous donor came in for a total of $113M. This is life saving money for NPR. She’s going to need a new tote bag. #Pinks
Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.
Trump called Epstein’s survivors “the victims, or whatever.”
Two words. That is his eulogy for their suffering.
He wants hearings buried.
His name is in those files.
Don’t shut up.
Stay loud.
Line graph titled “Gun injuries are the leading cause of death for children and teens ages 1–17.” It shows deaths per 100,000 children and adolescents from 2000 to 2020 by cause. A dark line for gun-related deaths rises over time and becomes the highest by around 2020. A light line for motor vehicle deaths starts highest around 2000 and declines significantly over time. Other causes—such as poisoning, suffocation, heart disease, and fire—remain much lower and relatively stable. Source noted as a 2022 New England Journal of Medicine study.
Gun injuries are the leading cause of death for children and teens 1-17 years in the U.S. Many of these injuries could be prevented with safe gun storage.
✅ Store guns unloaded in a locked safe or box
✅ Make sure guns are stored safely anywhere your child spends time including friends' houses
LA! These kitties’ human passed away, and they need a new home! Please help them find one! Spread the word!
It is a profound irony when the nation under attack feels more empathy for the attacker's citizens than the attacking government itself.
The Mental Health Parity Index is out, and it starkly illustrates how patients across the country face greater barriers to accessing mental health/substance use disorder care compared with physical health care—even though Congress requires insurers to treat the two equally. https://ow.ly/KQ6250YK16V
🆘 URGENT‼️

Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, a long-term study shows.
The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80.
The results contradict RFK Jr. statements.
