A friend shared with me a girl scout cookie link from a group that's having a hard time selling in Minneapolis right now. digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop5...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

It’s almost as if there are no coincidences.

“We see how brave [NPS employees] are. My ancestors were brave enough to run from tyranny and these guys can’t be brave enough to oppose an order to take down some plaques.” --Mijuel Johnson, community organiser www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

NEW: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power. Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state. By @dougbockclark.bsky.social

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website. Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

Bondi put 1000+ personnel on finding and tagging Trump’s name in the Epstein files. There were training videos showing them how. I’ve filed a FOIA for those videos and have sued the government to get them.

Government shutdowns always end up costing extra taxpayer money. The 2018-2019 partial shutdown lasted 34 days, cost $11 billion and led to a lost of an estimated 25,301 years of work, according to a Senate report. https://wapo.st/48cXW1w

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

Trump gets booed at the US Open today.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

The Framers made arguably one major mistake: They believed the legislative branch would jealously guard its power. They could not have fathomed that the legislative branch (Out of laziness, raw partisanship and a desire to keep their sinecures) would willingly surrender its power.

In this bonkers post, Trump repeats something he said in April – that "the states are merely an ‘agent’ for the federal government." Back when Republicans talked about small government, their heads would have exploded if they’d heard that. But the traitor party now believes only in money and power.

Moore: We were able to see historic drops in violent crime, and never once did I activate the National Guard to do municipal policing. This is not about performance — this is performative. They are now using the military as pawns in this process to feed into this military fetish

Indeed.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

Welp

Wow

Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.

Apparently people On Here are oblivious to ways HJC, Oversight, & others have been hammering on Epstein consistently. But this, from @wyden.senate.gov, is one even I haven't given due attention. Bessent is withholding financial docs abt who FUNDED Epstein. www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

When the Epstein files (and only the Epstein files) are mentioned, Donald's first impulse was to undermine their credibility. That is proof that he knew there is an almost 100% chance he is in them. It's a manifestation of guilt.

Unearthed footage that Fox News refused to air during the election last year shows Trump nervously refusing to commit to releasing the Epstein files. “I don’t know about Epstein so much as I do the others.”

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Immigration judges are alarmed by ICE grabbing immigrants at courthouses. By the way, immigrants can request to appear in court via Zoom. All immigration attorneys should request this. Stop allowing immigrants to be grabbed at courthouses #ImmigrationLaw m.youtube.com/watch?v=HWx9...

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Thanks @yalesph.bsky.social for fact checking the White House and Trump's Dangerous, Ugly, Monstrous Bill. #MedSky

something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket

NEWS: Sen. Ossoff and Sen. Mark Kelly reintroduced their Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act. Repost if you agree it's time to BAN stock trading by members of Congress.

Folks, call your Representatives in the House & Senate ASAP. Tell them you oppose the budget. Your family’s future quality of life is at stake. Your state will be left to pick up these costs. R’s want to deliver massive tax cuts for the richest so they continue to get their contributions.

The entire Right gets on my nerves more often than not In a way that's hard to pinpoint down to one cause and isn't reducible to Trump (who's doing some reasonable things and some terrible things). Other factors: 1. The rise of racism, esp. the IQ/eugenic variety. Always there, now *overt*. 1/x
