Let me take you to a better time and place this Saturday night. Back when we had HOPE. 💙🇺🇸 #ProudBlue #Obama

The teenager had their first ER trip (that they remember…) on Thursday. Who knew that prescribing a 110lb 5’8” kid 4 albuterol puffs every 4 hours for several days (because of a constant allergy cough) would lead to absolutely horrible side effects? I did…🤦🏻‍♀️ (My kiddo is much better now)

Putin knows his approval rating in Russia is collapsing.

So sad and pointless. Norfolk streets need to be designed to be safe for everyone. RIP

The third Sunday of May commemorates the millions of victims of Soviet repression, particularly those of Stalin’s Great Terror of 1937-38. It marks one of the darkest chapters in Ukraine’s history. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people were executed, and millions were deported.

Why destroy the environment with more construction when every roof, south-facing wall, and concrete parking lot could already serve as a platform for solar panels?

UN Secretary General Guterres has condemned this week’s attack on a UN convoy in Ukraine but refuses to say Russia did it. This is pathetic. It is also dangerous. Treating Russia as some kind of “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” only increases the sense of impunity in the Kremlin

We’re rallying in Montgomery today to show politicians that we won’t let them take away Black voting power without a fight.

"Nearly 60% of those detained have no criminal convictions... 'When it was built in the middle of the Everglades last summer, officials said they needed to put it out there because they were going to house the worst of the worst... Clearly that’s not the case'..." www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/f...

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social in Montgomery: “We’re here united to take on this new confederacy, 60 years after the Selma March… because we know their intent is to dismantle everything gained during the civil rights movement.”

Scott MacFarlane reports on growing momentum in Congress for Supreme Court term limits. Several bipartisan proposals would impose 18- or 20-year limits on Supreme Court justices. Rep. Olszewski says the issue goes beyond any single ruling and reflects a broader crisis of confidence in the Court.

The president made between $220 million and $750 million worth of securities trades in the first quarter of this year, according to a Reuters analysis.

Frances Perkins was a central architect of the New Deal: ✅ Social Security ✅ Unemployment insurance ✅ Minimum wage laws ✅ Child labor limits ✅ 40-hour work week + overtime ✅ Workplace safety protections And yes, she’s also why we have illuminated EXIT signs. Her legacy is everywhere.

Should the issue of educational decline be attributed solely to schools? A substantial share of the responsibility lies with parents, many of whom, despite various justifications, remain insufficiently engaged in their children’s academic, social, and emotional development.

Trump’s effort to sue the IRS — which he controls — for $10 billion is both outrageous and unconscionable. American taxpayers — who will be forced to foot the bill — should be outraged.
