My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Mamdani's "Turn the Volume Up" should be the rallying cry for everyone who wants the policies of the Trump administration relegated to the trash bin of history. Now as always, the lesson is: Vote, vote, vote.

Make America Great Again… GTF Out!

💥Think graphic novels are just for kids? Think again. We’re diving deep into the graphic side of storytelling on this week's episode of 🎙️Book Lounge by Libby: bit.ly/4fpIEbn @mattielubchansky.com @redgoldsparks.bsky.social @hopkinssuzy.bsky.social @halliebateman.bsky.social

I will take "Blame Obama" and if that fails, "Start a War"

Is there no end to this administration's idiocy? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Elizabeth Warren: "Look, Elon Musk is right about this. He's got it exactly right. The idea of borrowing $3.5 trillion on the nation's credit card in order to be able to give tax breaks to the likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg is financially nuts. It's terrible for our country."

Well said

⚡️NEW: In Tennessee, Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social has introduced the “STOP AMERICAN GESTAPO ACT” — requiring law enforcement not to wear masks, and to ID themselves. As Blackburn, Johnson, Sexton and the GOP try to codify masked vigilantism, Jones moves to ban it to protect the public.

It's so painfully obvious that law enforcement agents should not be covered like cartel henchmen, and that impersonators will seize this opportunity. Terrifying lack of common sense. Legislators, step up and do your damn job.

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Excellent article www.npr.org/2025/06/22/g...

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

Never forget

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

The entire point.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

🇺🇸 RISE UP AMERICA!

The otter keeper gave this baby otter a sock to keep warm, she later turned it into a onsie with holes for the hands, feet and tail!

Remote control.

Donald Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in the Middle East Are Staggering He is now openly mingling his personal and political interests.

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

No, Karoline. It’s ridiculous to suggest Donald Trump does anything other than for his own benefit.

Must be nice to hold the keys to the financial kingdom: having the money to place market bets AND the ability to send it in either direction.

Thank you for speaking out www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/o...

Hey Trump voters, what will it take for you to realize you made a mistake? You can't spin this. The damage is untold. What will it take for you to realize no one person or administration should be able to command or seize this kind of power and unwarranted authority?

It's coming, right?

The start of Year 2 in the Midwest for me after 40 years in California. Grateful for the green green green everywhere, lower prices all around, and great neighbors.

Personally I can’t wait for that first mow of 2025. Less excited about the 30th.

Holy smokes!

History lesson!

great conversation!

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.
