I guess in other countries, accountability is a thing

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing our Muslim neighbors in the #MA7 & around the globe a rewarding month of joy, peace, & community.

Last year, we secured a court victory blocking the Trump Admin from ending the FEMA BRIC program — but the funding still hasn't been restored, leaving communities vulnerable to natural disasters. Today, I filed a brief calling on the courts to enforce the order and resume this life-saving program.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

I really like the new mayor of NYC.

Universal love! Hoosier Hysteria moves to football! @nelliebragg.bsky.social

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Henry loves snow! He comes in every now and then for me to dig out the snowballs from between his toes, then out he goes! Be safe out there! @salfrye.bsky.social @dogdad999.bsky.social @mozartsgirl.bsky.social @nelliebragg.bsky.social @davidbarbour.bsky.social @exaltedaardvark.bsky.social

Happy Thanksgiving! Peace to thee and thine.

Hunting season. Y'all be careful out there. Henry's happy to help!

Frost. Northern Indiana. So much to be Thankful for. Next Thursday and every day.

America is not your sugar daddy, Lindsey.

With just one race left to call (ballots are still being cured), of 222 races up on 11/4, @runforsomething.net had 142 winners, 10 candidates moving to run offs, and 42 (!!!) red to blue flips.

Anybody interested in the last special election of this year, TN 07, might consider following @aftynbehn.bsky.social , the Democratic candidate. She needs national attention and support. TN is deep red, but Tuesday showed us that anything can happen.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

"Hours after the confrontation in Lakeview, dozens of parents stood guard outside a school in Bucktown after hearing ICE and border patrol were in the area. Some parents set up an informal checkpoint next to the school to check cars for immigration agents..." www.reuters.com/world/us/wer...

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

In the 2 weeks after Mamdani won in June, 10k ppl signed up with @runforsomething.net to consider a run for local office - our biggest surge *ever*. Like it or not (& I do!!) he's shaping the future of the Democratic Party. If you want something different, get other people to run.

Evanston, IL-- home of many friends who were in this line. They are DONE w brutality in their streets.

If he wasn't in the #EPSTEIN_Files, a hardbound copy embossed in gaudy gold would be readily available for sale at his MAGA Merch site for the low, low price of $500, or IF YOU ACT NOW, a personally signed copy for the more-than-reasonable price of $1K: Courtesy of the gross greedy #GrifterInChief.💰

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The key to success is just getting up every morning and doing your best. That's what my 102-yr-old friend tells me. Happy Monday!

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Henry and I hope you're having the wonderful-est birthday ever!! Lots and lots and LOTS of love! @mozartsgirl.bsky.social

Marching today? Consider running for office next. @runforsomething.net will help you get started. runforwhat.net

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

Small town Saturday. Be safe out there. Remember, we took the pledge in elementary school: with liberty and justice for all.

Is the tide turning? #activism #politics #fascism

Ferry trying to sneak into Bainbridge harbor pushed by tug while we are distracted by Toronto Blue Jays mauling of Mariners. Go Ms. 🔱

It must be realized that the wild pea is not showy, in fact its pink and purple are very washy and the individual flowers are small, but they have a certain wistful delicacy of appearance and the scent of even half a dozen in a bunch is astonishing. gu.com/p/34ehh/stw

To all the Americans losing their jobs and farmers losing their farms, take comfort in the fact that the people in Argentina are doing great.

But we could still afford modestly to set our own wild cherry in a chosen place at the eastern or the western corner of the garden: I say eastern or western because the reddening leaves would then catch either the morning or the evening light, sunrise or sunset. #gardening

There is no need to emphasize the loveliness of the wild cherry in the spring, its great puffs of white appearing like the smoke of a train inexplicably stationary in the middle of bare woods. #gardening speciesofuk.blogspot.com/2014/08/week-5… woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-an���

Americans are facing a health care cliff: premiums are set to skyrocket when open enrollment starts on November 1. This needs to be handled now—not in November, not in December. As one MN farmer I met last week said, between this and tariffs, it’s a “perfect storm of ugly.”

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

New Covid & Flu vaccines. Picked up sticks and threw a few for Henry. Next: dinner w a friend & Shakespeare's "The Tempest." Hope your day is as lovely! @nelliebragg.bsky.social @dogdad999.bsky.social @davidbarbour.bsky.social @dearsusanbranch.bsky.social @mozartsgirl.bsky.social
