A gullible kid, my sibs convinced me the radishes Mamaw served us, on summer vacation, were California strawberries. One bite…we still laugh about it. Gullible Americans voted for a radish.

Done with Gavin. What an utter disappointment.
Last night, 99% of House Republicans voted to codify the Trump-Musk coup. Every Democrat except Rep. Golden stood united against this extreme MAGA spending bill. Senate Democrats still have the power to stop this sham of a government funding bill by holding the line. Contact your senators ASAP. 👇
You may be asking — Why am I sharing this? Because Trump and Musk and their bullshit narratives. Not one child will benefit from this disaster. The idea that those of us in this field are overstaffed, underworked and overpaid is absolute garbage. Quite the opposite.
Frances C. Perkins (1880-1965), was the first woman ever to serve in a presidential cabinet. She served with President F.D. Roosevelt and was the 4th US Secretary of Labor for the Democratic Party. She was a key figure in the creation of the Social Security Act of 1935. #WomensHistoryMonth

Ya’ll Anchorage did it again. March from Town Square to senator’s office. The demand: an in person town hall. None of that online crap. Entire city block filled with angry constituents. Sullivan, Murkowski, Begich—set the date for a REAL town hall or Alaskans will.
Mockler: What would be your message to Elon Musk… DNC Chair Martin: Go to hell…
Mockler: If you had to say one thing to Elon Musk and his DOGE cabal, what would it be? Warren: I would say follow the law and get the hell out of our agencies. Get the hell out of our government. Nobody elected you.
When schools are run like businesses, our kids become commodities. We can't let profit-driven interests dictate the future of our children's education. Dont Defund Public Schools
While the work done at the NIH is very valuable, Rep. Raskin hopes they are also working on a treatment for malignant narcissistic personality disorder because... you know...
Amy Coney Barrett: I NEVER THOUGHT THE LAWLESS LEOPARDS WOULD BE LAWLESS. “PUZZLING”
Dems who don't want to go tonight, shouldn't. Cool. But some MUST and MUST walk out. Ostentatiously. Otherwise ALL THE VIDEO shown ALL AROUND THE WORLD will show Trump's Republican slaves applauding him Always feed the video narrative Do you remember Nancy tearing up the speech or the Dem reply?
For journalists, writers, artists, historians, photographers and cultural workers -- it's going to be so, so important that we document and bear witness to this moment in history. It's going to be hard, and many of us will have to move differently. But we must try.
If Donald Trump can override our elected officials’ control of the purse strings, we are effectively entering a period of taxation without representation.
"Perhaps" veterans who sacrificed from their time on Earth, their health, or even their bodies — and were promised steady jobs in civil service to make good on the debt the country owes them — "are not fit to have a job at this moment." Insulting and dishonorable.
I made this version for LA with a call script included since that is what I find hard about contacting reps!
Eutelsat, the owner of OneWeb, a satellite rival to Starlink, said today that it was “actively collaborating with European institutions and business partners,” adding that it had equipment that could be “deployed swiftly in Ukraine to connect the most critical missions and infrastructures.”
I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.
Democrats should hold 435 town halls this weekend. The ones in Republican districts hosted by local Dems or nonpartisan local officials or even ex-Republicans, with everyone, Democrats and independents and Republicans, invited.
you're in luck:
Every year, the IRS loses over a 100 billion dollars because it doesn't tax businesses called "churches." Look into that waste, Elon! youtu.be/37cZqx349xU

How it’s going …..
The reason this language matters is because its purpose is to either snooker or further expose Trump's duplicity on the world stage. For years he's been saying "Europe needs to step up and take charge of its own defence". We all know his bluff was "they'll never do it". It's been called.
i don’t trust people who aren’t overly caffeinated and don’t use “fuck” as a sentence enhancer.

In my opinion, Social Media platforms have been a net negative on society and human well being. But Bluesky is the best one out there because of how the technology is designed (open & interoperable). I look forward to building a loving community here 💛 www.businessinsider.com/bluesky-user...
This is your daily reminder that tax cuts do not "pay for themselves." Renewing the Trump tax scam will cost $5 TRILLION. They won't tell you this, but when they try to cut Social Security, education, and healthcare later... it will be to pay for these tax cuts for the rich.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

The bold environmental vision of President Jimmy Carter.
U.S. president Jimmy Carter with Nigeria's Head of State, Olusegun Obasanjo (1977).
In 1971, the Jim Crow era was over, but oppression carried on. Jimmy Carter was sworn in as Governor of Georgia. In his Inaugural address, he declared “the time for racial discrimination is over”. President Carter always had the spine to speak up, no matter the cost of the cause. Be like Carter.

What’s amazing about Musk claiming the reason he’s in America is the H1B visa is that it isn’t true. According to story below, he came here on a student visa, worked illegally and then got an H1B. He should release his immigration records to clear this up. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
BREAKING: Nancy Mace is in intensive care after a cashier at Target wished her a “Happy Holidays” instead of a “Merry Christmas.” Thoughts and prayers for a possible, eventual recovery.
BRUSSELS — Elon Musk, unlike other tech bosses, "is not able to recognize good and evil,” a European Union top official said Wednesday. “We started to relativize evil, and he's helping it proactively. He's the promoter of evil,” Jourová said www.politico.eu/article/elon...

I can't argue with what he said. He is spot on!
Substack is right wing/nazi adjacent. Marisa Kabas explains here. Substack now partners with The Free Press, the Bari Weiss site, and their numbers one history provider is a holocaust revisionist.
going to keep posting about this piece because I really think that everyone online should read it: www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgiv...
I understand the fellow everyone blocked for being a terrible person has gone back to That Other Place to declare that this is an awful site and that true free speech believers like him should stay on The Billionaire's Plaything and he is correct people like him should absolutely stay there

In stark contrast, Bluesky didn’t donate shit to Trump’s inaugural fund.

Bluesky is brilliant for the Bylines Network. 🦋 So much better than X or Facebook. It doesn’t kill news links, the news mix is healthier here, and it’s an ideal environment for community-building. Our citizen journalism is thriving here. Keep it up @bsky.app!
ICYMI — Liz Cheney responds to Trump telling MTP she and the 1/6 committee should be in jail: “It was the worst breach of our constitution by any President in 🇺🇸 history… this is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our Republic.”

The FTC cracks down on data broker Venntel for selling location data tracking people to sensitive locations including abortion clinics and places of worship. Love to see it: www.ftc.gov/news-events/...
The fight for abortion care and the fight for trans rights are the same fight. It is the fight for bodily autonomy. If you do not have control over your own body, you do not have control over anything.
NOW HEAR THIS: There is enough work, money, food, housing and plenty of resources for everyone on this planet to have enough to live a quality life. Our political system is designed to make that impossible.
BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain’s constitution so they “can never be undone.”
Now, the only question is will the hospitals pass that savings on you, or will that extra savings go into CEO and executive compensation?
he's also incorrect about his definition. Propaganda is about misdirection of media focus to avoid the facts and enshrining ideological messages in inflammatory content to divide and bolster support for policies that would otherwise not be supported.
