We must get back to a 🌎 where when someone lies, we say “lie.” I don’t get why it’s forbidden to identify this act w/ precisely the correct word. He just said gas prices are down, i.e. LIED 🛑 him, say lie. “But aren’t they up [blah, blah, blah]” ain’t it. Call out the lie. Powerful, helps society.

#FridayPurple As Seen In Paducah Essie Bendolph Pettway made this quilt in 2020 and named it "Equal Justice." She used cotton fabric and a cotton/Polyester blend. Essie learned to quilt from her mother, both are dedicated quilters from Gee's Bend.

If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.

It's that Neko chan! He was sleeping this morning and looking so cute. It's hard for me to wake up when I have a cute little warm and soft baby sleeping on or beside me >^..^<

I took some of the salt and the scent; and the sight and the touch with me. Happy Saturday

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

I just want to own a bookstore in which indie authors have priority and successful, prolific, influential authors come in to shine a light on their work. And when those authors become prolific they come in to hold a light for the next indie authors. Is that such a big ask?

Shining

A convicted felon as President of the United States talking about removing criminals is the very definition of hypocrisy.

"There is a nationwide warrant for [ICE agent] Morgan's arrest as he faces two second-degree assault charges" in Minnesota. Good - finally some semblance of accountability for ICE - hopefully more on the way. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Graceland. When it came out, in 1986, it was quite a surprise, even considered "risky" and "experimental" by some people. Simon flirted with African-influenced music but the result was extremely successful; joyous and uplifting. Still a great listen after all these years.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of longtime Seattle political columnist Joel Connelly. Joel dedicated more than five decades of his life to journalism as a quick-witted, insightful reporter in the Seattle area.

This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes. That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services. This is why people are mad as hell.

Robert Kennedy would now be 100 years old. But his tragic assassination in 1968 denied him the privilege of watching his children grow up. However, the Senator would have been heartbroken to see the morally indefensible harm RFK Jr. is doing to the nation.

Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s. No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable. The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.

Food for thought .... "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." - Helder Camara -

As an American. I make the decision to buy a gun and go shoot somebody. I get convicted and go to jail. An a health Insurance exec. I make the decision to deny care and kill someone. I get a bonus.

I need a break….

If you are worried that China is beating us, then take a look at this. China is investing heavily in renewable energy. The USA is fighting all forms of green energy. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and diversifying our energy sources could help us get ahead. It could prevent wars over oil.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain access to Rhode Island's unreacted voter file. In these cases nationally, my law firm is now 5-0 and DOJ is 0-5. Not sure how Harmeet is going to explain this to her "boss." www.democracydocket.com/cases/rhode-...

A traitor to both his party and his country.

Turkish industrial chemist Ayşe Saffet Rıza Alpar was born 123 years ago today. In 1932 she became the 1st Turkish woman to receive a PhD in chemistry (Remziye Hisar earned hers one year later), and the 1st woman university rector in the nation, authoring 5 books as well. #WomenInSTEM #ChemSky 🧪

We should be learning from other countries...

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states. DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand. My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases. DOJ is now 0-5. My firm is 5-0. Lesson: When we fight we win.

#BLM OTD 1853 Harriet Tubman made her first of 19 courageous trips back to the South, leading enslaved people to freedom through the Underground Railroad.

You would think they would have learned the first time he was in office! Why do these people continue to vote for their own decimation? 🤔

With 150GW solar, India achieved its target of having 50% of its total installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June 2025, reaching this milestone 5 years ahead of its original 2030 deadline set under the Paris Agreement www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/10/i...
