Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.

Started my weekend in Black Mountain, NC, and joined Buncombe County Dems who are already organizing to elect fighters like @roycoopernc.bsky.social. Despite all the bad news these days, this is what gives me hope: communities like this doing the work and holding Donald Trump accountable.
Constantly amazed by the compassion people show! 💜
Please stay with us.
Good morning! There is so much hate and division out there, so every Sunday I give you a good news only round-up. Spread the word and read some good news this morning: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
The Webb Space Telescope has spotted a new tiny moon orbiting Uranus. https://to.pbs.org/41NKhK7
I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.
It gets worse Trump just fully capitulated to Putin-dropping his demand for a ceasefire and telling Ukraine to give up the Donbas America never looked weaker-welcoming a war criminal, letting him dictate terms and then having the president do his bidding Zelensky is walking into a trap on Monday
DC folks, at 800 pm, go outside with some pots and pans, a drum, a trumpet, whatever you got, and make some noise for 5 minutes. Everyone’s doing it.
That wasn’t a summit. That was a debacle.
A chance discovery of a 25-million-year-old fossil on an Australian beach has allowed paleontologists to identify a rare, entirely new species — Janjucetus dullardi — that could unlock mysteries of whale evolution. https://to.pbs.org/3JkOUVA

Strong leaders fought for voting rights because they knew what was at stake: affordable healthcare, clean water and air, accessible education, Social Security and more. As we recognize 60 years of the Voting Rights Act, we must do our part to protect this cornerstone of democracy.
Why not bring a book outside? In The Wonder Reader, @isabelfattal.bsky.social offers suggestions for what to read outdoors:
Colbert isn’t the news! It’s a comedy show. It’s not in the news division.
Oh no, careful.

Massachusetts RMV worst service ever. You have got to be kidding making people wait in line for 3 hours at a time. @warren.senate.gov can you help?
NO thanks

Yesterday, according to estimates by event organizers, millions marched in protest against the Trump administration, including its recent controversial immigration enforcement raids. Hundreds of “No Kings” demonstrations took place in cities and towns throughout the U.S.

I have climbed highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you On this day in 1987, U2 released "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," one of the greatest rock songs in history.

48 years ago today, Paul McCartney quietly released Thrillington—an instrumental lounge reinterpretation of Ram, under the pseudonym Percy “Thrills” Thrillington. A whimsical, orchestrated oddity that showed McCartney’s playful side was alive and well.
The media should not treat Donald Trump different from Joe Biden. If Biden accepted a private jet from Qatar, the media would say it violates the law. Now, many are silent when Trump does the same.
Music has the incredible ability to bring people together, breaking down barriers and fostering connections that transcend language, culture, and differences.

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

The Vatican is preparing to organize a conclave to elect a new pope in less than 20 days. They’ll employ everything from privacy film to signal jammers in order to keep the highly secretive process under wraps.

Oh no
Missoula, Montana showed up strong today—proving that even in Big Sky Country, the love of democracy runs deep. Flags waving, voices raised, and boots on the ground against tyranny. When Montana rises, America listens.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Keep shining, Missoula—we’re with you all the way!

A beloved pet tortoise named Myrtle has been reunited with its family in Mississippi weeks after disappearing during a deadly tornado outbreak.
Fun fact: Of the ten largest single-day point drops in Dow Jones history, Donald Trump was president for nine of them.
I’m no expert on tariffs, but I do know that wildly fluctuating economic chaos is a recipe for disaster for business planning. 🤦🏻♀️
Republicans in Congress could stop these tariffs tomorrow if they wanted to. Remember that.

You don't need to visit Japan or Washington, D.C. to see cherry blossom trees. Here are three places around the U.S. where you can see the blooms — weather permitting.
Cory Booker for minority leader. then majority leader. then president
We rise with Senator Cory Booker as he holds the Senate floor against Trump’s attempts to rip apart the Bill of Rights and the rule of law. Stand strong, Cory! America is with you.
Haha look out!
What @booker.senate.gov is doing right now is so good. There are currently tens of thousands of people watching across platforms as he’s live streamed on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, & more! Everyone will be talking about this tomorrow AM leading into a big special Election Day!

Fact/Reality Check: *None* of the top TEN leading killers in the US are infectious diseases. Meaning, RFK Jr’s idea of “refocusing” the CDC on just infectious disease might fool some, but is an unserious and nonsensical idea. Empathy for the many HHS workers suffering under this regime.
Dear Big Law. This is how it is done. Bravo, Jenner and Block! Don’t you other firms ever watch those superhero movies? The selfish, greedy cowards always finished last! 👊🇺🇸🔥
Sometimes they just really want their picture taken.

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated Why? Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY
There is so much bad policy baked into this. People will be hurt. Our nation's safety will be weakened. Congress has a job to do. We swore an oath to uphold the Constitution—not to surrender Article One constitutional powers to Trump and Musk. I don’t want them to have more power. I will vote no.
Schumer.senate.gov Please reconsider today and do not vote for this bill that will damage our country.
New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451
I hope it’s soon!

Are any of them on Bluesky?
Hmmmm
Hmmmm, I got nothing.
What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
