Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon swears in new civil rights division lawyers at the DOJ. Because nothing says “we care about civil rights” quite like only hiring white people.

I lived in Alabama for 12 years (taught at UAB). It is a complex place but I learned to love it despite its flaws. Great article that provides a taste of the complexity of the state and its politics.

Twain is eternal

Funny stuff!

As we get ready for our 250 year anniversary and celebrate 80 years of CDC, we thank the National Public Health Coalition for creating this graphic, reminding us our founding fathers believed in public health.

Just sayin'... :)

Class, in accordance with Texas’s new law, we are going to engage in Bible study. Please open you Bibles to Ezekiel 23:20. “There she lusted after her lovers, whose penises were like those of donkeys and whose ejaculations were like that of horses.” The Bible, pornography for the WHOLE family!

Wow, very interesting. Good for her for choosing to shift gears away from a career (writing) that she was very good at--but sometimes doing something different is the right path.

Pleased to share that my upcoming University of South Florida paycheck will include a one time bonus payment of $2000 thanks to successful United Faculty of Florida negotiations with USF administration. Union negotiated contract also assures many important faculty protections.

Great article, full of truth that all of who are growing older, or who have loved ones growing older, should read.

Let’s avoid the temptation to venerate Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni just because she called Trump out for his lies about her. Meloni is a “family values” fascist. She leads the Brothers of Italy, which was founded by supporters of dictator Benito Mussolini. She is no moderate or hero.

Great article, must read for Floridians

Michelle Obama is the best First Lady in history!

Behold: masculinity...

What an asshole

Remember Yogi Berra, for example, who was shot through the hand as a boat pilot at Omaha Beach. He never applied for the Purple Heart as not to worry his mother. The next day he helped clear the beach of bodies. He was asked how this affected him. He replied, "Baseball ain't hard."

Pete Hegseth just slashed the military's list of religious identities from 200+ options to 31. Gone? Humanist, Atheist, Pagan, and dozens of Christian denominations. There's no reason for this. It's pure sabotage. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/pete-hegse...

He thinks he's

Bravo!

Wow

Good news: FFRF challenged a school district's inclusion of prayer in its middle school graduation ceremony, and the district promised to remove prayer from the ceremony. Read more ➡️ ffrf.us/4tVwKLK

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Pulled a 2014 Cohiba Siglo I out of the humidor. Fantastic!

This is appalling. Our government should not be promoting particular religions. @ffrf.org

Very funny story! Must watch

Three girls who were caught up in a #Florida riptide praise the deputy who dove in fully clothed and saved them from drowning. www.naplesnews.com/story/news/l...

Why is it so hard to find a therapist who takes insurance? We heard from more than 500 mental health care providers who left their networks because of red tape, low reimbursement rates, delayed payments and more. (Published Aug. 2024)

Beware of scams, people contacting with you and connecting and building a bond, then dropping an opportunity for crypto investment. Bluesky is especially vulnerable www.aarp.org/money/scams-...

I grew up in the Missouri Ozarks, picking wild blackberries off the fences in rural areas. Store bought doesn't compare. In Florida we have discovered #JGRanch in Brooksville--AMAZING UPick berries from a friendly family farm. In season now jgranch.com/berry-picking

What a great show! We had a blast last night. Highly recommended 😎 www.facebook.com/StrazCenter/...

it’s pretty wild how american evangelical christianity has abandoned even the pretense of the christianity part

Heading out for what should be a unique experience at the @strazcenter.bsky.social in Tampa to see "The Magicians Table". I will post my review later! www.strazcenter.org/events/2526-...

This is some fucked up shit, even considering that it comes from Trump.

Great comments, love this guy

Awesome comments on hatred and fear of Muslims. A smart and funny guy. youtube.com/watch?v=Py_j...

“As of today?” Sean Hannity left the Catholic Church in 2019. So phony and performative

It will be extremely funny if Vance manages to get himself excommunicated before his book on becoming a Catholic releases.

Great to be at The Trop with my lovely bride and son Tom. The place looks great. Looking forward to a sweep!

Guidons! Guidons!! Guidons!!! Prepare to move on the Objective!!!

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It must be *infuriating* to TSA agents, who are NOT getting paid, to see lazy ICE agents, who ARE getting paid, lounging about the airport and doing nothing to help either them or passengers.

@marcelias.bsky.social is right. We can't let up, not even for a moment, until the job is done. ✅️Impeach. ✅️Convict. ✅️Save Democracy.
