It's a fun, fleeting thing. I don't think anyone is expecting to cash in - it's a happy moment in a sea of unhappy news. Let them be.
"Journalists in Gaza have risked bombs, bullets, and now starvation to tell the stories those in power don’t want told. Their courage is remarkable," Seth Stern told @meghnadbose.bsky.social in @columjournreview.bsky.social.

A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you your values.
The Senate Republican budget proposal rips away health care and food from the needy to give tax cuts to the rich.
It’s immoral.
Happy Pride Month 💖🏳️🌈
The FAA budget was cut - do they have the ability to hire enough ATCs?
This is real life, y’all.
These aren’t “democratic talking points”—this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy.
Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per day… you can’t.
And so it continues...
So much for keeping families together. Where are the family values the GOP is always proudly yelling about?
The top 1% own 40% of stocks, while the bottom 40% of Americans own almost none.

@kansascitycurrent.bsky.social is strong! I'm going to need someone to score goals against Orlando (and can't wait until the ORL v KC matches)!
Great. Just great.
My God.
ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back.

Nice to see some action taken by Dems! Proud to say I grew up in Jersey.
This has always been a guiding principle for my work with community organizations. You don't have to do it all, and certainly not by yourself. Just find the others who are organizing and go be a piece of the dorsal fin!
I've personally relied on bus transportation (for 6 months due to medical issues). Losing this many routes would decimate what little mass transit we have around this metro. We need to improving this kind of infrastructure, not dismantling it - especially with the World Cup coming!
Yep, it's probably time to pull this book out again.
A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security.
More of this please.
Let's hope we can stop it.
In a world of chaos and anxiety producing headlines, I'm finding this feed helpful.
Save the Date! March 4-5 is #UMKC Giving Day. I'm supporting #MSW Scholarship Fund to help get more students from the community trained to serve it well. Who will you support? #umkcgivingday
Interesting that this comes as the federal govt is limiting the very research funding UMKC was seeking to get more of. Oh well.
