@fathernathan.bsky.social wins the post of the day!

Thrilled to see Pope Leo XIV signaling he plans to continue the work started under Pope Francis.

Illinois, Let’s go!!!

Pete Hegseth sounds like any serial cheater trying to gaslight his most recent girlfriend into thinking she’s just really insecure.

Happy Earth Day!

Says the guy whose charity was shut down by the state of New York for making illegal campaign contributions.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

Amazing trees at UC Berkeley

Beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge from Cesar Chavez Park.

San Francisco sunset

When old Soviet Union jokes are applicable to America today, you know something has gone terribly wrong.

Economics, Political Science, and Law

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/w... These are the troops Trump would call “suckers and losers,” so ignored by him completely. As Commander in Chief, he wasn’t even aware of it for days. Why did any veterans vote for that guy?

I grew up in this area. A turnout like this is a BIG deal. Go Green Bay. Way to show up Fox Cities! 💚💛🇺🇸

the Signal fiasco is a good reminder that while these people are destructive, and cruel, and bigoted, and petty they are also really, really stupid

Just a reminder, the EU has been operating a naval mission in the seas around Yemen to keep freedom of navigation open "at great cost" since 2008. A number of non-EU countries have contributed, including Ukraine... not the US though. I guess you could call that American free-loading. eunavfor.eu

And its just the beginning

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Secretary Hegseth is incompetent 🤡

We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party. This is just fantastic.

“To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.” From On Tyranny by @timothysnyder.bsky.social #truth #fascism

It’s not about “DEI.”

Do you need some inspiration? Please watch this 60 Minutes piece. Now, in whatever small way you can, follow the example from @60minutes.bsky.social, Equity Arc, and these military veterans and create a more inclusive and equitable society. #equity #music #bebrave youtu.be/lhwS06U1SnA?...

Within days of Brad Schimel attending fancy galas in DC, Elon Musk was posting about him. Musk is trying to buy some influence over the Wisconsin judiciary. And Schimel has already bragged about being on his knees begging for money. It's corruption to the extreme.

I will always support Habitat for Humanity. If you agree, please share or create your own way to show support. #habitatforhumanity #fbi #epa #volunteers #housing #environment

Dear Families in Trump Country mourning the loss of life and homes in the tornadoes this weekend: Dear Leader would like you to celebrate the golf tournament he won (at his golf course). You’ll be relieved to know he’s having fun and is excited for the awards dinner tonight. #trump #tornado #golf

Who is this D-bag and why would anyone decent in WI ever vote for him?

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

Not very “pro-life” of the Trump/Musk administration. 😒

Maybe Elon should focus on his company and leave the rest of us alone. #elon #spacex www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

House Democrats sing “We Shall Overcome” following Rep. Al Green’s censure:

Please watch and share. youtu.be/iOhepiFVQTo?...

Anyone who had illusions of two sides coming together to find common ground better realize the Republicans just gave Trump standing ovations for saying the most horrific things. KNOW they are not interested in compromising. They will not work with the “other side” on common sense solutions. Resist!

George W. Bush was president - US Coast Guard signed a contract to get administrative help from a company in Virginia. It paid $144,000 & the contract was completed June 30, 2005. Elon Musk's DOGE claimed it had just canceled the long-dead contract. 20 years passed. Presidents came and went.

We’re at the Lake County School Safety Conference (Illinois) helping schools prevent gun violence by talking about safe gun storage. There are so many great resources on the @besmartforkids.bsky.social website! #gunviolenceprevention

President Zelensky was correct when he insisted on guarantees before discussing any US negotiated ceasefire deal with Russia. He reminded us Putin didn’t honor a previous ceasefire agreement. Trump isn’t honoring contracts with his own citizens. #ukraine sustainableagriculture.net/blog/trump-d...
