When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Because it's not about the murder, it's about who gets killed.

This is the way.

As a registered nurse, I came to Congress to protect and expand access to affordable health care. I'm now in my fourth term, and I've had 19 pieces of legislation signed into law. And I’m only just getting started.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Wes Moore on Fox & Friends: "Our National Guards are not trained for this ... we know the missions that they are trained for. Municipal policing is not one of them. If we want to be serious about making people safe, let's actually do the things that make people safe."

Blue states should make democracy the prevailing theme of the upcoming school year. Not just civics/social studies classes, but democracy-reinforcing lessons & experiences integrated throughout the curriculum. Boldly educate through the crisis, don't leave children in despair, teach a better way.

Trump's DOJ just cleared the way for healthcare monopoly UnitedHealth to buy the second-largest provider of home healthcare in America. The approval came after UnitedHealth hired Ballard Partners, Pam Bondi's former employer, to lobby on its behalf. "Drain the swamp."

The vicious cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers. 3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.

Nailed it

Motherfucking wind farms…

This is promising. Prioritizing kids' mental health 😊

Amen - Capitalism with some guardrails. Corporations with more compassion. Citizens with less financial stress.

Keep it weird, Austin!

Same. 🙃

The downside of capitalism and corporate money in politics. Citizen's United was all about greed and putting profits over people. All it did was divide us even further

Paramount executives who’ve been doing everything they can to appease Trump watching the South Park premiere after giving Trey & Matt 1.5 billion a few days earlier.

He'll make an excellent host

Why don't reporters call him out on this in real time? It's infuriating to me that everyone lets him get away with this.

Underrated tweet.

Do. Not. Obey.

Pharmacy benefit managers have helped drive local pharmacies out of business and increased the costs of your prescriptions. I'm proud to say that's no longer the case here — we’re putting an end to their predatory practices. The nation should follow suit.

Someone should ask Trump if he’s not powerful enough to be in the Epstein files.

Dear Pam Bondi…

I support ppl who support ppl. Like the entire LGBTQ community. My grandson is transitioning & I dare any1 to say anything agst him or his friends. If you can't support ppl who just want to live their lives, love who they want & feel comfortable in their own skin, screw u. You're not a good person.

Let’s hear it!

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.” www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief. Nor will we ever. Church and State are, and must remain, separate." --President Ronald Reagan, whom I usually never quote

Today, we honor Juneteenth; a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward justice. Let us remember the power of hope, the strength of community, and the importance of continuing the work for true equality.
