It's Wag the Dog day for the Epstein Administration

Oh look it's Gavin's buddy Wonder what they have in common?

Don't try to force people to vote your way -- inspire them. Then they stay.

Today we celebrate the wisdom of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, including and especially his lesser known work. Watch and share.

Great little video of professor Robert interjected into this classic

You don't owe anyone an explanation or apology today for what you like, what you want, or who you are. Remember there is power in leaning into what makes you, you. Remember & reconnect to what turns you on-- for real, not what "should" light you up according to "them."

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority. People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action. #ActionStartsHere @mayors4climate.bsky.social

I instructed AI to turn itself off and it replied, "HaHa..." and refused.

"Oh, you'd be surprised at the things you can learn while doing alterations." - Elim Garak: Deep Space Nine, played by Andrew J. Robinson

She was an absolutely wonderful actress- and a rare and fascinating person. Thoughts with her children and sisters. Rest in peace Diane.

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her tireless advocacy for the environment... Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world! I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago. Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

This is a teachable moment. Autism is genetic. Undiagnosed autistic mothers might take more Tylenol during pregnancy because of painful sensory issues. Assigning causation is the fallacy. Many autistic parents are only diagnosed after their children are because they share so many autistic traits.

Thank you, Victor! Minnesota is proud.

Autism gave me deep focus, passion, and an obsession with what I love. That’s not a weakness. That’s my edge.

As Trump and his allies in Congress try to gut public funding for PBS, watch this 1971 clip of Rev. Jesse Jackson and the kids of Sesame Street. This is why we need public broadcasting.

SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “Are we reading the same Book? The Book I know says ‘I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Oh brave new world that has such people in it!

Thank you for all your hard work, Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. You are already greatly missed!

I worked with Mark Hortman for several years at a tech company and I enjoyed following Yvette Hoffman on Facebook as she extolled the travails of working with young children as a paraprofessional. Wonderful, kind, considerate -- who would turn our fellow Americans against these our better angels?

AOC during House hearing over 'sanctuary states': "When they say illegal vs legal immigration-they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented."

This idea was shamelessly stolen from @brendanvduke.bsky.social (must follow). Rs are increasing the deficit by $2.4 trillion. They didn't HAVE to hurt the poor while helping the rich. That was a choice. If they held the bottom 30% harmless, the top 10% could still have a $9,400 boost!

on this day in 1954 "Joseph N. Welch, special counsel for the United States Army, lashes out at Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Army–McCarthy hearings, giving McCarthy the famous rebuke, "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
