Two things can be true at once?
Noooooooo!! Come on! All The wrong people are dying.
Wait, that f**k face was a CEO!!????
Day 3. 27 miles. 56,243 steps. 9 1/2 hours. Still moving. Still fighting. Every step is for working families who rely on transit—and for a government that shows up for us. #WalkForTransit
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
I hope the asshole’s friends, coworkers and family see this post and treat him the way he deserves. I hope he lives with karma from this act for years and years. He’s a pox on humanity.
I think about how happy I’ll be that day and how much fun it will be to celebrate with friends and family.
One thing Dem governors can do is scale up clinics and use those to help people get Covid vaccines who will suddenly find it a lot harder under Trump/RFK's deranged new restrictions on them, one expert tells me. newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Seriously? This is a news story? I’m tired of journalists focusing on stories that mean absolutely nothing while fascists and grifters disappear; rob; and kill people in the United States.
Religion is a weapon against humanity
How?
And then you and MAGA crapped all over it and now appointed a total anti-vaxxer madman.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
ICE agents are not patriots nor are they legal. They are anti-freedom thugs.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Yes! Why aren’t more democrats calling out and speaking truth!
Hey, democratic leadership, Say Something! If you are scared to say something, Step Down! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov
It’s like they are speaking another language of which I recognize words but none of it conveys a meaning or information.
I opted for a midwife in a hospital. “Natural birth” the first time (no meds) ended up with a C-section. The other two I asked for an epidural as soon as I got to the hospital (no c-sections). Grateful for medicine.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Four months out for an annual with GP-
Like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" in its initial release, I am lowkey banned everywhere.! If you like this article, please share it. If you *really* like it and would also like my children to stay housed and fed, please subscribe! Thank you
So what I hear is protestors should carry rifles and shotguns to avoid felony charges- but definitely not sandwiches.
Everyday when I wake up, I check to see if any one of them is dead. It’s pathetic, but it is what sustains me.
That face!
They also had name cards in front of them.
And Trump hasn’t been playing with a full deck in a decade at least
There’s a lot of people in the United States who see the war criminal putin is and are absolutely disgusted by the people governing us. I’m so sorry.
So masked, armed, unknown people can demand you comply with whatever they say and if you don’t they can shoot at you? That seems wrong.
And here I thought my fears of nuclear annihilation were gone with my 1980s childhood, and yet here we are again. Inhumane and uncaring people in charge of our fates in powerful places.
Thanks!
Do any of the “good guys” have nuclear weapons or just the us and the other dictators?
The message is to the National Guard is “your life and obligations are irrelevant if we want you to stand around and harass people.” It demeans the service members as much as the civilians. I don’t think Trump is building morale among anyone but his worst sycophants.
Weren’t the Ceaușrescus executed less than two days after the revolution?
Not sure why the MSM won’t sink their teeth into this fat, juicy ten year MAGA plan that has reduced most American lives to day to day hell in one way or another. Thanks to those who keep reporting…
I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.
We really try not to, but it’s hard.
Uh oh. Who said what?
@schumer.senate.gov Hi! Could you please stop asking me to “sign a petition to protect voting rights” and then asking for money? You don’t need my signature or money to protect voting rights. You’re a US Senator! Just fucking do it. Be aggressive in justice & not a little scaredy cat.
Come on Buttigieg
I’m pretty sure he’s being intentionally obtuse and misleading- anyone who was half awake in 7th grade social studies know it was Southern Democrats before 1970 who were pro racism and now have become post 1980 Republicans.
Amanda Trebach was arrested on bogus charges, a retaliatory act! Observing and documenting kidnappings are not crimes. We cannot let these domestic terrorists do whatever they want to any of us, regardless of “documentation status.” #FreeAmandaTrebach #FreeThemAll
Plus: Instagram sparks a privacy backlash over its new map feature, hackers steal data from Google's customer support system, and the true scope of the Columbia University hack comes into focus. www.wired.com/story/us-cou...
I wish I could figure out how live as a person these days. We are surrounded by nefarious people with ill intent, and I have no idea how to navigate that withouto surrendering to doom because I don’t want the bad guys to win. Thank you for continuously speaking truth.
Pritzker: Neither Texas nor the FBI at the federal level has the authority to arrest these Texas Democrats They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.
If you read one thing today, read this.
Opinion piece that illuminates SCOTUS real feeling about the Voting Rights Act and Roberts hand in dismantling it.
I was thinking about a poem I wanted to write while I was running this morning- something along the lines of wanting to be a badass woman and this video kinda encompasses what I was imaging.
Huh, one might be reminded of elderly relatives who wandered off on their own. One time my Omi started walking back “home” down an Indiana two lane road. A local resident found her sitting on a bench in her yard.
It sure looks like it, doesn’t it? I don’t understand why but it seems like they want the economy to tank in all sectors
I work in secondary public education & t/ trend has been to water down consequences. T/rationale changes depending upon t/ context but t/ end result is always t/ same.Trump tried to overthrow the election and exactly nothing happened. People in concentration camps for no reason. Nothing makes sense.
I’m quickly starting to adore you
Shortly after Trump’s election in November, the Internet Archive registered major changes to ADL’s website. Sections devoted to voting rights, racial justice, and other civil-rights issues were all gone. (3/x)
Do it!
His aesthetic truly reflects his whole persona and soul.
“All genes matter.”
In Judge Dugan's reply on immunity argument at District level, she calls out DOJ for misstating evidence, claiming that she directed the migrant to the stairwell rather than the public hallway. If true they substituted facts from MA case v Judge Joseph. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I’m from Chicago which is one of the most segregated cities overall, but there were still culturally mixed neighborhoods (not sure now since I moved in 1999.) Rent in neighborhoods was determined by income, not ethnicity. In Milwaukee, it’s pretty much the same. This tiktok confuses me.
I use the same strategy as you!
1/ Ok, a word to the good people of San Francisco. Guess what, on the renewables front we're both great and SUUUUUCK. As @billmckibben.bsky.social notes in this piece, SF is one of the hardest place to get through solar (and green appliance) permits. www.motherjones.com/environment/...
I hope the tools they use go beyond strongly worded letters and involve clever legal ways to make MAGA governance frustrating and soul crushing.
Total class act. Ryno. Awesome ball player and good human.
Ugh. I won’t quit either- I do not mean to imply we should give up. It’s just so… you know… everything.
The staggering amount of energy needed to make it stop, and make it right is simultaneously enraging and heartbreaking. It can be done but how long will it take?
Public media has been defunded. Your support keeps journalists on the ground, lifts unheard voices, and connects communities. Help us plan for what’s next. Make a monthly gift today. Stand with public media: n.pr/458sOhq
These are my favorite exchanges. I love them so much.
Could someone in the press let home know the IDF is shooting people lining up for food? JFC the press is useless.
I'm doing a radio interview tomorrow (Saturday July 26) on Epstein and more, details below: ksqd.org/sarah-kendzi...
He is a man who could be turned to work for the good guys.
Thanks for making me lol IRL
Wait- we don’t have a way to store energy???? So weird.
Just another anxiety inducing situation! Idk- I tend towards serifs- not sure what it means? I’ll use sans serif if I have to- obviously. I try not to give too much weight to serifs when judging people:)
I think a lot about fonts but, I never did think political leanings=font preferences. I wonder if it rests mainly with serif vs sans-serif choices…
so many hearts being broken.
Trump make the dude the interim US Attorney for New Jersey
Seriously- can we all get together with elected representatives and end this whole Fucking nightmare, now?
Is this a joke?
He does! That’s what happens when we get older!
He’s Jan’s boyfriend, George, George Glass
Holy shit the FDA panel on antidpressants seems wild to me. I am not an expert, but apparently depression is a useless term and that is preventing us from feeling emotional distress. We should experience everything as a signal and learn to pay attention to it.
I’m right there with you. That fucking guy.
Hello Mueller, She Wrote, I’m Zach, a high school journalist. I just published an exclusive investigation into how 193 Trump donors funneled $2M through Guam, raising quid pro quo and campaign finance concerns. Would be grateful if you gave it a look or shared it: open.substack.com/pub/zachkahn...
This man is desperately shouting anything in hopes people will forget the Epstein mess.
Is the card from the DOJ evidence? I mean, they have access via Pam Bondi to everything. They’ve seen it. And since when does the press have to show people anything before printing? They can ask for a response before going to press about the sort but … MAGA is so awful
When Midwest cities like Chicago and Milwaukee first started growing, people built homes that were specifically designed to rent out space for added income. www.wuwm.com/race-ethnici...
Important conversation tomorrow night.
A 100 mph scooter seems like a 100 mph terrible idea. Why?
“Toxic empathy?” These people say this shit in public, out loud with sincerity. Embarrassing for humanity.
Stunning! An 8-hour time-lapse to show the Earth is rotating while capturing the Milky Way.
It’s the small things sometimes.
Trump also thinks exporters pay tariffs and windmills cause cancer. He also thinks people seeking asylum are from insane asylums.
I support you and your decision to demand accountability and justice!
Thank you for sharing this film trailer! As a US public school teacher, any suggested strategies for the years ahead to care for the students are appreciated . Slava Ukraini!
I’m going to be thinking about “vibe physics” for a while whether I want to or not.
Trump is learning that when no one knows which conspiracy theory to believe, fault lines develop within the cult and then its members start turning on one another, says @timobrien.bsky.social
What is so odd to me is that Bongino and Bondi fighting- if there are “files” even if Trump or any other MAGA- the public kind of “doesn’t care” for lack of a better word. Maybe Bongino is pissed bc he really thought there was evidence against Dems and all that is gone?
The only thing I disagree with you is that McConnell was not blocked by Trump. McConnell did that on his own. McConnell is no one’s puppet- he’s as evil as the rest.
