Not too much of a sports fan but baseball season’s barely underway and half the commentary is about payroll gaps--reflecting the economic patterns everywhere else. #MLB

Most object to him at a gut level. An evil, loathsome presence.

The story here could be anything...I just feel invited in

AAA is now reporting that the average cost of gasoline in the U.S. rose to $4.45 a gallon on Saturday. That’s up 34 cents from a week ago. It’s also an increase of $1.47 since the start of the war in Iran on February 28.

For the first time in history, you can simply say "he is an idiot" and 90% of world will know about whom you are speaking… Am I right?!

For too long, City government has stood idly by while homeowners fall victim to criminal deed theft. Those days are over. We're creating the City's first Office of Deed Theft Prevention. If you think you or someone you know may be a victim of deed theft, visit nyc.gov/deedfraud. @chiosse.bsky.social

(🚨) Here it is. A massive report on what is really happening and what is about to happen in Iran. We have been failed by the institutions that were supposed to help protect us, and the next stage of the Great Iran War is likely to be its bloodiest.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Wealthiest nation on earth serves up “land of the free” rhetoric instead of stable security.

Citizens embrace liberal principles or conservative values. Politicians believe in nothing, recite lines and collect from donors. Power to the People!

Same issues keep getting ignored. People want safe neighborhoods, decent healthcare, and groceries that don’t cost a whole paycheck. That is it. #blackstandardcollective

What people don't understand is that we Latinos like women a lot. But our mothers teach us to respect women and revere them. I don't know a single Colombian or Mexican who can look at this women without feeling emotional. #Sheinbaum #Resist #Latinx

Economic numbers look “steady,” but consider the damn source. Checkout line says otherwise. You can’t call it stability when families are budgeting down to the dollar every single week. #costofliving

Every headline this week keeps talking about “resilience,” like people aren’t already carrying more than they should. Starting to feel like a powder keg. #truth

And I follow all these from Bill Tayloe! go.bsky.app/TxNCR2w

Republicans are also working on another bailout for farmers from taxpayers after Trump screwed them over again with tariffs and increased costs caused by his war. We all have to pay Trump voters (mostly) for Trump’s failed policies while they continue to vote Republican.

"Biggest profits always in losses."

"I hang out with losers because it makes me feel better". "I am a stable genius". "I will be having the honor of taking Cuba. I can do anything I want with it". "The war is over. We will keep fighting". "All of the people who died...and are now walking around with no legs".

On April 19, a week after President Trump announced a naval blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. Navy interdicted the Iranian container ship Touska in the Arabian Sea. 1/2

Chaos In The White House As Secretary Of Navy Leaves In Middle Of Iran War open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

Nice to see that the Trump hire/fire cycle is picking up. More chaos and desperation from various individuals counting on a future pardon that might be forgotten if they're fired too soon can only further weaken the fuckers.

@cfwhittingham.bsky.social Schools are dealing with staffing shortages that affect everything from class size to support services. Families feel the impact immediately, and teachers carry more than any job description accounts for. #education

Book‑ban debates resurfaced. If your worldview can’t survive a library, it wasn’t much of a worldview. #Books #Freedom

Teacher shortages again. You can’t build a thinking society while treating its architects like afterthoughts. #Education

Tuesday's vote on Virginia's referendum to neutralize Texas' republican gerrymandering is crucial- VOTE YES!! I'd be nervous, but clearly, looking at the results of all of the recent election results... Democrats have done their homework and are turning out- and this has trump/ GOP nervous

Life is simple, the only way we survive is bringing like minded folks together! #TimeToUnite

Bill Nye and hundreds of Planetary Society members are heading to DC on Monday to protest the White House's proposal to slash NASA's science budget in half. These cuts were announced as the Artemis astronauts were on their way to the Moon:

Education debates resurfaced this week, and it’s striking how often we forget that a society’s memory is stored in its classrooms. #TeachTheFuture

When I say that what used to be Britain's university 'system' is in complete chaos and enduring revolutionary upheaval, I really mean it. If anything I'm underplaying the whole thing. www.thetimes.com/article/1644...

Poetic how cities are redesigning public spaces for heat resilience. Shade structures doubling as art installations, water features returning after decades of austerity, and entire blocks being reimagined for people instead of cars. #UrbanDesign #ClimateAdaptation

Every tech CEO is suddenly obsessed with “digital well‑being.” This translates to: they want you to feel good while they track everything you do. #tech #privacy

Professional ambition now requires fluency in multiple dialects: corporate, creative, algorithmic. The real skill lies in switching registers without losing coherence--and knowing "ALGORITHMS" are driven by paying sponsors. Like the news. #careerlinguistics

I would like to believer the White House was freaking out...but I always feel like they are suppressing a laugh.

Very sad but accurate commentary.

If Democrats don’t pick up Virginia seats, MAGA comes into November with an advantage and pathway to saving their skins and cheating their way out of a colossal midterm loss.
