Congress needs more Claires: a renter, union organizer, and 36-year-old progressive who will defend working Americans, not corporations, real estate developers, or the special interests making our lives hell. Leaders We Deserve is beyond proud of our support for @claireforny.bsky.social!!!

Jason is exceptional at what he does.

This list of Dem and Independent Senators is a checklist of who needs to go.

Remember, whenever you hear that a corporate law firm is "prestigious," you should interpret it the same way as "Trump is a successful businessman" and "Musk is a genius." It just means they're shameless and unscrupulous, like Sullivan & Cromwell. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Tomorrow, Democratic primaries in both Maryland and New York feature clashes between wings of the Democratic Party. Bolts has an eye on races for both congressional and legislative districts, and you can learn more in our guide:

Seeing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer being forced to resign as a part of an engineered right-wing propaganda campaign is truly devastating and it gives me PTSD from when President Biden suffered the same fate as a result of the same attack.

Florida Surgeon General announced ALL vaccine mandates will be ended As a polio survivor, i was joyous when a vaccine became available. No other child would endure such fear & suffering. He said "who am i to tell u what to put in your body. it's God's business". Hes a doctor! This is lunacy

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

“Freedom is when you do what I say.” Happy Father’s Day.

like no, tell people to call their representatives and end the occupation that’s about to enter its SECOND YEAR

This is old school thinking and so is the NYTimes article. I commented.

“If anybody is wandering around Atlanta this Monday, Drivin N Cryin is playing a festival called Decatur Watch Fest on the Decatur town square at 7:30. I’ll be joining them for the last few songs, playing my new 12-string guitar, pictured here. See ya there.” -Peter

this is way beyond my understanding of crypto and what trump is doing with it… but it certainly is massive corruption aimed at destroying more of everything America used to be

Collective apathy is our biggest issue. Had to quote post because this user only allows certain people to comment, which doesn’t include me.

I’m not gonna like posts that I can’t reply to anymore.

Yesterday, I met Jay Bhattacharya briefly for the first time. I don’t think he’s a fan. 😬🤷‍♀️😇 He spoke yesterday at an NIH workshop on Health Disparities. I want to reflect on his talk, as well as the brief interaction that followed. Here goes… 🧵1/???

Oh god

Donald Trump is spending $765 million of your money to kill American energy projects and jobs off California’s coast. Taxpayer-funded corporate welfare for Big Oil.

I curated a (mostly) exhaustive list of Juneteenth celebrations across the country. Chances are there’s one near you!

Nice pics

That "American Flag Blue" paint is delaminating from the reflecting pool 😅 Polyurea pipeliner is a complex application that requires insane attention to detail. Inadequate surface prep, failure to remove laitance, moisture contamination, poor temperature control, rushing the cure period.

Russia bombing itself is the best bit of news you'll read today.

I got curious this year & asked my MPH students about their use of AI. A resounding "yuck" from all 20 students. One said she hates it but uses it because a prof said her writing was "too much like how she talks" and made her self conscious. Surely laziness drives use sometimes, but insecurity too!

The MAGA regime have sent an urgent desperate call for volunteer federal workers to do 12-hour shifts to help scrub out the massive lime green algae bloom in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after wasting $14.2M to destroy its original beauty. Clean it yourselves assholes.

Refresher course for you :) theoatmeal.com/comics/apost...

What we encounter in life is beyond our control. Yet what we weave from it can turn into true magic. It is not fate that shapes us, but our response to it. Thus, wounds and tears can transform into a healing elixir of wisdom. Remember: you are not what happens to you; you are what you make of it.

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

I have been away. I came back.

They tried to hide but I got em anyway

What the hell are they actually doing? Just stalling?

Yesterday I took a ferry to Long Island. Today is my birthday.

Yeah although everyone kinda knows why this is happening. Democrats are afraid to lead because they are beholden to rich men and corporate interests and are desperately looking for a middle ground between authentic beliefs and what their donors want.

Charles Barkley: "I don't know if those (are) B's. They might be Cardi D's... I'm pretty sure those aren't B's... She's got the wrong initials."

this is the way

Mona Khalil, the leading figure in sea turtle protection in Lebanon, had refused to leave the village of Mansouri, near Sour. Her house was directly hit. She is in hospital. today.lorientlejour.com/article/1537...

Local artist Light Guerrilla projected “TAX THE RICH” on the side of Mark Zuckerberg’s boat while it was docked at Seattle’s Lake Union.

I write and think a lot about hate. I am in the business of disarming it and making it way less lethal. But while I can dissect hate on an intellectual level, being at Boston Pride yesterday reminded me — yet again — that I will never understand it. How could you not enjoy the joy yesterday? 1/

Two-tier policing is real and ever-present. Black and Brown people experience it. Women experience it. Pro-Palestine and green protesters experience it. But the last people who would ever experience it are right-wing white men. They are the people with whom the police instinctively align.

Could we please learn from others? And maybe recall what worked during trump1? Let’s drop the stupid *No Kings* thing thrown at us by Indivisible and go back to basics. Here’s one. Black Lives Matter.
