Governor Stein's budget proposal increases teacher salaries and rolls back voucher spending. We agree! This should just be the start of boosting teacher pay at all levels and years. Ending vouchers will help free up billions in the next few years. #nced #ncpublicschools

Thank you Governor Stein for taking the essential step in rolling back the unaccountable, wasteful voucher program! Our public schools need our public funding! #nced #ncpublicschools

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.
Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.
And .. here come the Freedom of Information Act requests for Kash Patel records
DC watchdog group Democracy Forward has formally requested Patel's calendars & any messages from security detail that include words "drinking", "hungover", "inebriated"

"If you're looking for a Democrat who is going to fight Donald Trump and stand up for the Democratic Party, and from the fight wing of the Democratic Party, which I'm proudly from, you've gotta support this guy, George Conway."
Washington Examiner: Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump. Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours, insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, threatening entire civilizations with annihilation, and comparing himself to God. What would be the reaction?

That game was an instant classic, and I'm really glad the #Canes won. However, even with the controversy in the first OT, we got some major puck luck, and Ullmark did deserve a better fate. He was remarkable. #LetsGoCanes
A reminder:
Staal didn't have full possession of the puck. I think that's the call.
This was my honor and privilege @sifill.bsky.social - thank you so much for your candor and care.
John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
Spain has recently outpaced the US in GDP growth, emerging as one of the fastest-growing major advanced economies. As of 2024–2025, Spain’s economy is growing at a rate over 3% annually, exceeding the US (~2%) and Eurozone (~1%) averages.
Donald is such an uninformed idiot.
I followed and reposting. Thank you.
Trump never had a plan to improve America. He just hoped you'd be too distracted to notice that he's destroying it. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/opinion/trump...
If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?
Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience
The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.
Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.
Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.
In Maine, ICE brazenly called their operation “catch of the day.” The banal inhumanity of it all is overwhelming. The deaths, the injuries, the conditions in detention, the brazen disregard for people’s rights, including American citizens. And it’s still happening.

At Pentagon worship service today, Pete Hegseth again read a violent prayer to bless the Iran war. But this time his prayer was apparently borrowed from 'Pulp Fiction.' I promise I'm not writing for @theonion.com now:

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: "We need more religion in politics."
[Pope uses religion to criticize Trump.]
CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: "Keep your religion out of our politics!!!"
Donald Trump is killing real schoolgirls in Iran and kidnapping and murdering real Americans in the streets. Interesting that the only thing he’s done that went “too far” for MAGA was an *imaginary* image. What a ridiculous world we live in.
Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress.
We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.
Smart political move. Takes it to the Rs. Everyone is seeing Trump fall apart in real time. Make his party vote, or at least refuse to vote on this measure, and keep the issue live for the election.
Hungary seems to be inspiring people here too.

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.
Well done, JD Vance and Putin! (Funny, how this headline works equally well in the UK and US.)
I do, in fact, recognize this phenomenon. It is the source of my profound sadness over the death of my country. 😢
