Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Janet Mills also supports universal healthcare…and unlike Platner, she’s actually expanded healthcare to people including ~100,000 Mainers.

Why are Elizabeth Warren and Chris Murphy campaigning against common sense gun legislation with their endorsement of pro-NRA Graham Platner?

Important to recognize that we *can* do better by agricultural workers. We just mostly choose not to.

"Miguel" is removing excess branches from the grapevines to ensure a higher-quality harvest. He's proud of his UFW contract at Greenfield's Scheid Vineyards that he's worked under for 24 yrs. "I have benefits like medical, seniority, paid holidays, 401k & a 8% bonus." #WeFeedYou

This #EarthDay, we honor not only the land, but the hard working people who nurture it. #WeFeedYou Este Día de la Tierra honramos no solo la tierra, sino también a las personas trabajadoras que la cuidan. #SoyEsencial

Apparently service isn't something to be celebrated if you're a Democrat.

If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid: $124 — school lunch & nutrition programs $49 — diplomacy to prevent wars $19 — USPS $19 — Federal Aviation Administration $18 — national parks and $4,049 — weapons and war. These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay

Remember that “laundry fire” on the USS Gerald Ford a little while back? Starting to wonder if that was sailors desperately trying to force the ship into port.

You ever wonder if maybe, just maybe, all the patriotic language is an op—a front for something else?

Any #Excel gurus out here? Suddenly I'm CONSTANTLY having to go into Advanced Options and toggle on scroll bars. Now today the sheet tabs are also turned off. WTH Excel?

I heard this morning that the Artemis II crew took photography classes ahead of the mission, which is both forward thinking and utterly charming.

When people say the Swalwell allegations are a distraction from Trump/Epstein (they are all part of the same bigger picture), I have to wonder why these people even supposedly care about Trump and Epstein. Do you care about sexual violence or don’t you? Why do you only care about some of it?

Good God, this commentator going on and on about how touching it is that the astronauts named the crater after one of their late wives (it is!) because “these are scientists, they’re very stoic people.” Sciencey people have emotions! They’re not Spock ffs. #ArtemisII

If we had continued on with Obamas investments in solar ,wind, clean energy and electric cars the straight of Hormuz could have gone and fucked itself by now.

The biggest mistake the Democrats made around Al Franken was not bragging about getting rid of him. "Republicans protect their crooks and scumbags, but Democrats demand accountability no matter who you are" would have been powerful.

“The letters said the women’s claims were “undermined” by their “voluntary and cooperative relationship with Mr. Swalwell over the course of many years” following the alleged incidents, including the former staffer asking him for job references.” Rape Culture 101. Montherfuck.

To everyone who demanded that Dems fly back to DC to push for impeachment, 25th and/or a war powers vote: They did. Republicans blocked it. If you're not praising them today just as loudly as you were ripping on them a couple of days ago, guess what?

This map makes my heart sing. 60%! 🔥 And seeing blue spread into so many western/northern counties, even holy crap Ozaukee! It’s gonna be a fight to have a fair opportunity in the fall, but saying goodbye to the Mke-Madison-Door Cty blue islands is delightful. This is the Wisconsin I love. #WI

This is easily the biggest military defeat in the history of the Republic. That is not hyperbole. In Iraq and Afghanistan we at least met some of our objectives; even Vietnam wasn't a quick collapse. Iran ends this war in a *significantly* better geopolitical position than it had on February 27th.

The President is threatening to destroy an entire civilization. Congress must finally reclaim its war power from this increasingly dangerous president. Before he creates more chaos and destruction. Before more servicemembers get killed.

Starting to believe he wants to use a nuke like some wypipo want to use the N-word. And we know they find a way.

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18. Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.

Debating whether I should have brought a mask with me to the airport this morning so my face can keep its opinions to itself. #FuckICE

Solidarity with Dolores. Solidarity with all survivors. Solidarity with everyone who has felt that they have been forced to stay silent. Solidarity with everyone feeling especially impacted by all of this news. We can build a better world. We can. It begins with telling every truth.

www.facebook.com/share/r/1Cit... The scene is one of the rawest moments in the film and one that just won’t let go. Delroy Lindo absolutely deserved that Oscar. #Sinners

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

So subset of boycott supporters took it upon themselves to declare the Target boycott over but the people who actually started the movement have spoken out today no one talked to them and the boycott lives. 🧵

For the record, I don't anticipate Target seeing another dollar from me this lifetime.

This. The BBC and BAFTA need to reckon with what they did. Choices were made that enabled and reinforced real harm to multiple communities.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Guys he's not starting a war to distract from the Epstein files. He's starting a war because he wants to start a war. Killing people in other countries makes him horny. If it also distracts from the Epstein files, great, but he doesn't really give a shit either way.

For what it’s worth, I don’t have any tattoos.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

Concomitant is a perfectly cromulent word.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

It is absolutely not safe for athletes or fans to hold these games in the United States.

Tricky one! I did not think I was going to get there without hints.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Five classes I took in college: Urban Geography Literature of the Vietnam War Latin American Women’s Literature Socioeconomic History of the US 1870 - 1930 (distressingly relevant) History of Revolution (getting there)

Echoing the cowardly white moderates who inspired MLK to write Letter from Birmingham Jail, 60 Minnesota CEOs made no mention of ICE, Alex Pretti or Renee Good in a bloodless plea for MN's problems to disappear Craven corporations will pay a price My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis
