Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens—and we don’t have to live like this. Missouri @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers are grateful for our #gunsensecandidates like Rep. Bush who’ll keep working for gun safety. #moleg 3/3

Joined the packed campaign kick-off for Rep Gregg Bush who represents southern/eastern parts of Columbia. Gregg’s the only nurse serving in the Missouri Legislature. It’s clear from issues he spoke powerfully about tonight and the legislation he’s worked on that he’s serving with deep compassion.1/3

...It costs almost nothing and it’s a proven strategy for preventing a school shooting, unintentional shootings and firearm suicide.'" The vote means: -info on storing weapons safely added to our Student Handbook -a parent acknowledgment of gun storage awareness in annual CPS registration materials

"@besmartforkids.bsky.social volunteer Kristin Bowen advocated for secure firearm storage during public comment. 'Asking parents and caregivers to help secure firearms to help keep school campuses and our wider community safe is practical.... www.columbiamissourian.com/news/k12_edu...

They did it!! The Columbia Public Schools board just voted UNANIMOUSLY to enact a secure storage resolution that will educate mid-Missouri families about the importance of secure firearm storage. So proud & grateful for the board's thoughtful work to prioritize school and community safety. #BeSMART

House Intel Chair Rick Crawford on why he doesn't want video of the second Sept 2 boat strike released: "What the trained eye can detect from these videos may reveal sources and methods that would imperil troops." (But releasing video of the first strike didn't?)

Public schools are how we build community & teach kids to collaborate & solve problems. That’s why it’s so important to our democracy that we strengthen education for all. Thank you We Build Progress for inviting me to this panel. bsky.app/profile/soci...

Holy smokes! Rubio really woke up and said the biggest threat to America is… Calibri. At this rate, Comic Sans is going to need witness protection.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner María Corina Machado’s escape from Venezuela was particularly risky because her team had to inform the US military that she was escaping so they wouldn’t mistake her boat for an alleged narco boat and bomb it. Full Story: bit.ly/3XJXIsh

Black voters know a conman when they see one" which is why Black voters voted for Kamala Harris. Black women the number one highest vote for Harris with Black men being the second. Trump is such a fraud and liar!!) 92% Black woman 81% Black men.

Since Governor Katie Hobbs took office, Arizona’s economy has grown by more than 100,000 jobs, with the lowest unemployment rate in Arizona history. It is now a manufacturing hub with billions of dollars in private investment. We need to keep her in office. Re-Elect Katie Hobbs Governor of Arizona

No wonder the Chiefs are losing. They’re lying down with dogs. Chiefs give $25K to Missouri Republicans as stadium fight drags on www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

And here it is. Kushner is working with the Saudis to grab CNN and make them a propaganda channel for both them and tDumpster. If we do not start doing something now, we are going to belong to all the wrong people. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Banned words list has real consequences. A Head Start program operated by a tribe on a Native American reservation was told not to prioritize tribal kids, in clear violation of Head Start Act. The program director also can’t do training on trauma-informed instruction, or to support kids with autism.

More pages of that list of words forbidden from being used by Head Start programs:

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs. Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

The so-called “war” with Venezuela was supposedly about stopping drugs… yet they’re out there seizing an oil tanker.

DOS: "The United States condemns the Houthis' ⁠ongoing unlawful detention of current and ‍former local staff of the U.S. Mission to Yemen."

The US is now just the drunk crank at the end of the bar waving a gun around

They want to force Boasberg into trial because he’d have to appoint a prosecutor and SCOTUS will probably take the power to appoint a judicial prosecutor away.

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.

LYING: It's the Lord's work!

THE NEW AXIS OF EVIL 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 🇰🇵 🇸🇦 🇦🇪 🇺🇲 Now that America has endorsed the Russian invasion of Europe, declared tariff wars against all democratic nations, begun committing war crimes daily, and taken to the high seas in acts of contemptible piracy, we deserve this new status.

And SHE WON!!!

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Federal agents are arresting American citizens. This isn’t about public safety - it’s about stoking fear. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Chicago is where Michelle was raised, where I got my start as an organizer, and where we built a family together. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, it will be our way to give back to a city that has given us so much. obama.org/presidential-center

I think the reason it seems to have flown under the radar somewhat is because by the time the media gets to it? There's another 4 monuments to corruption being built simultaneously.

NEWS: Trump officials are worried the ICC may try to prosecute them for war crimes once Trump's term ends, and are threatening sanctions against the ICC to change its founding document to grant them immunity. (via Reuters / link in reply)

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Finally, a politician with the courage to stand up to Big Pencil.

“Your kids should get less for Christmas than kids have in a communist China.”

ICE in Minnesota abducted and disappeared a Somali-American this morning. Masked ICE goons are seen dragging the man into an unmarked car as a crowd of neighbors scream he is a US Citizen. 12/10/25

Remind me: Did Brett Kavanaugh include having your wedding band cut in pieces among the minor inconveniences of being arrested by ICE as a US citizen?

This is extraordinary and extraordinarily revealing if true. “An artificial intelligence chatbot unveiled by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday appears to have described airstrikes against suspected drug smugglers at sea as 'unambiguously illegal.'” report by @mikaelthalen.bsky.social 1/2

#MorningVibe The most powerful stories of 2025 were collective; Women moving as one. Rise up for one another. Because, we are ALWAYS stronger together.

This post by the world’s richest and most divorced man on the site he bought to promote his far right extremism is ripped straight from the Klan messaging of the 1870s or the 1915 film Birth of a Nation that inspired the Klan’s rebirth as a PR stunt/Ponzi scheme/terrorist organization in the 1920s.

James Garfield was murdered by a man who thought he deserved a government job. Chester Arthur—once a machine politician—responded by helping create civil service reform. Today’s GOP wants to undo that progress and return to patronage politics. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Tonight’s repeal of Utah’s ban of teacher collective bargaining is a historic step in the right direction to return respect and dignity to the workers of Utah. Here's my full statement. www.aft.org/press-releas...

We have an Idiot for a President...😱

Sen. Mark Warner: "It's a little strange that administration officials can release edited versions of videos that they like to brag about but then not show the immediate moments up to and including the second strike that took place on September 2."

The Trump admin gave states an ultimatum: Cooperate with the immigration crackdown, or lose your federal funding. Oregon and 19 other states fought back — and won. Then officials logged in to the grant website to accept the money, only to find the button to do so was disabled: propub.li/4a4Bsk5
