I’m so glad democracy won in VA, but I’m bothered that it was so close…😬

It just never stops …

America Just Shrugged at the Largest Mass Shooting in Years A horrifying massacre in Louisiana can teach us a few things, but first we need to pay attention.

EIGHT CHILDREN DIED in a mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana this weekend.

Eight children.

A critically important reminder from @citizencohn.bsky.social:

Morning friends. There are still those amongst us that need to wake up.

Trump Should Be Spending His Life In Prison,Already. With The
PEDOPHILIA AND COVERUP, He
May Hopefully Still End Up There.
Not To Mention Fraud,And Financial Crimes,As President......

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Any mainstream media coverage of this? The depth of corruption is staggering.

The cover is a large spaceship in space above a green planet, caught at just the moment when a setting or rising sun will cause lens flare.

JR Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovksy. I'm late to the party but, yes, this is excellent. The joy of good SF is an author with such imagination that you leave the book feeling your mind has been expanded. 600 pages is a lot but that said I read the last 150 in one sitting, I was so gripped.

A poster with a colorful stack of books on the left and this text on the right: “Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Insider trading is illegal...
but they don't care

If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump.

None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.

He's a douche. Always has been.

Two Palestinians Killed in Israeli Shooting Near West Bank School

There's no meaningful distinction to be made between the Israeli settlers in the West Bank who burn, pillage, and murder at will—in fact, actively promoted, aided, and defended by Trump pal Benjamin Netanyahu—and ISIS.

Genocidal religious terrorists both.

Not a President……a terrorist!

Then what is the point of him being AG? Oh, right...protecting Trump. Never mind.

That’s just … awesome!

My father-in-law used to do that. It pissed me off and he thought it was funny. What makes people be such asses?

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

Support these data centers: SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, BOOKSTORES

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

A draft dodger is arresting war veterans for protesting his illegal war with Iran. Remember in November.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Congratulations. You've got this!

What. The. Fuck.

Trump told his 'last chance' at redemption is to 'resign now, citing health reasons' In a lengthy op-ed published Monday, author and policy expert William Becker laid out what he described as the “stench of scandal” President Donald Trump may have permanently placed on the White House...

YUM!!! Nice work!

Red States Thought They Could Stop Abortions. They Ended Up Stopping Only the Lifesaving Ones. Abortion bans are failing.

Overall abortion rates have increased since Dobbs, but abortions for medical reasons have become more difficult to access. Horror stories of women dying, nearly dying, or birthing dying children have been reported on a regular basis in states with abortion bans.

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

I believe it would be beneficial to American if we were to take away the lifetime healthcare and pensions for elected representatives and made them find healthcare and benefits just like their constituents
We have created lifetime of benefits for a job that was not meant to be a career

Term limits!

Not voting against Trump and the GOP is a vote for them. Like it or not.
