Look at these two different dwellings right across from each other here in Lecce Italy. As the guide asked Notice any differences?? 😆

It should be like this every freaking day here.

Great news.

Exactly right!

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again

Keep our name out of your mouth! Bravo Governor Moore!

“So now do you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life. The comfortable people want only wax moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressionless.” Ray Bradbury

Whose soul isn't crushed by this image? From street agents to the White House itself, there's not an imagined Hell hot enough for the people involved in escalating our brutal and dehumanizing machinery of immigration detention.

This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.

In what looks to be an intensifying quest to reshape American history and scholarship according to his own preferences, President Donald Trump this week targeted the Smithsonian Institution, the na...

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.

I will post this everyday to remind us. She was always right

Excellent!!

Call today. Call tomorrow. Call every weekday! We need to END this reign of incompetence & corruption!

Dear Smithsonian… safeguard the past. Move your archives to Canada before destruction claims them.

Bravo Marc!

Release the Epstein Files!

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.

important stats: violent crime rate in DC has dropped dramatically in last few years. And DC violent crime rate is lower than the following cities: Indianapolis, Wichita, Baton Rouge, St. Louis, Cleveland, Tulsa, Memphis, Nashville, and Houston. GOP/Trump aren't talking anything about red states.

Dear Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Tiffany and Barron, We are writing to you as a unified group of Americans who want to know how you feel about your father being a #pedophile -- having had sex with young children and been involved with #Epstein and #Maxwell How do you let your children near him?

It’s your day @claireci.bsky.social 🫶🏼

Good morning and happy Monday everybody. 😊💝

I will Post this everyday to remind. Us she was right

“The purge of dedicated, patriotic FBI officials like Special Agent Evans is an absolute disgraceful moment in history,” Zaid said in a statement. www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-...

This is PERFECTION!

Spanberger: The fact that my opponent couldn’t answer a question about the DOGE cuts and the impact they’ve had on Virginia is outrageous. We know from the last jobs report that Virginia is the only state with statistically significant job losses because of the attacks on Virginia’s workforce.

Anne Applebaum: "If American media can’t convey how dangerous this behavior is—for our prosperity, for our health, for our democracy—then American media will eventually cease to exist." More from our convo in @status.news: www.status.news/p/anne-apple...

I prefer to give directly to candidates that I research, believe in, etc. But some folks like @charlesgaba.com have sites like blue26.org that does a good job of aggregating ActBlue links where donations go directly to the candidates in the most important races. Good place to start.

25 years ago today, my father left this earth. Awarded the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star and the Silver Star in WWII, he rarely talked about his time there. He served his country when called upon, but did not want the 21 gun salute at his funeral. "I heard enough guns," he said.

This should never be forgotten. This is MAGA! Now a lot of them are ICE. See how The Felon gets his army? #Jan6 #Pinks #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

Double excellent!! 👏👏

Some Sunday in August notes on where we are today and our path forward, together.......enjoy 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/sunday-hop...

Go NC! We have your back!!

Why is the Trump administration detaining green card holders without cause, blocking legal counsel, and refusing to tell families where they are? Will Kim has lived here since he was five. He’s getting his PhD, researching a Lyme disease vaccine at Texas A&M—and ICE disappeared him at SFO.

This is unbelievable weather for August in Washington! Hope you are all having a good weather and a great day wherever you are. 💘

Good morning my dear amici. Happy Sunday 🩵

This is no time to go high. If GOP states redraw maps, then Democratic states should redraw maps. Give the same energy. They will never play fair or by the rules. Ever.

A question I've yet to see be asked: What part of the greatness of America WASN'T accomplished by immigrants or by their "proud to be American" descendants?
