my friends and i constantly quoting this post to each other whenever we feel bad about productivity

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

Call your senators about this. No, Schiff and Padilla were never going to sign this resolution, but seven senators is more than I would’ve expected a year ago and that means pressure works. So call your senators, because it takes 3 minutes total and it’s more effective than posting about it.

A month from today, we will gather for the largest peaceful protest in American history. The only way to protect our freedom of speech is to exercise our freedom of speech. Join your local event to make it clear there are still NO KINGS in the USA: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

10/10. No notes.

once again it is not fucking normal to lower flags in oregon for random member of the opposing political party who was born in illinois, lived in arizona, and died in utah. this is not a normal thing they're extending to a white supremacist, it's a special thing they're doing for a white supremacist

My governor, who wants nothing more than to become President, could use some moral clarity. Continue his work??? His work spouting hate that gay people should be stoned to death?

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

If you think this is good for anyone, you're a fucking idiot and you should have more people in your life who love you enough to tell you you're a fucking idiot. This is bad for everyone. All of us. Only more suffering will come from this.

So many things done to teachers instead of with teachers. Exhausting and defeating.

John's latest caught my eye since it's a Sunday. This is really fun! Got a 368 on my first try; not too great on strategy yet, but had a blast. Adding this to my "Unit X" (extras) resources for students.

As a proud granddaughter of a 104-year-old grandmother who needs help but is alive and (relatively speaking) well, this article enrages me. Thank you @wyden.senate.gov & staff for helping against DOGE madness. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

No Kings Day in June: 5-6 million people 2,169 communities 27 countries The sequel is going to be even bigger.

So, when a Democrat makes their only statement on trans issues about trans women in sports, they are saying that this is their priority on trans issues - not restoring our equality under the law but joining Republicans in eroding it.

Focus your anger on the one percent who are actually fucking up your lives.

What if Russia sends sharks with lasers on their heads and they grab onto the windmill at the bottom and then the centrifugal force hurls them onto our territory and then boom, there's laser sharks right on your street, President Trump is very concerned about that and every American should be too

And you thought your faculty meetings were bad

so close! that is a field

Worked for me too. HWORK! *yeet*

VON DER LEYEN: Every single child has to go back to its family. This should be one of our main priorities in these negotiations. TRUMP: I was just thinking we're here for a different reason but we just a couple weeks ago made the largest trade deal in history. Congratulations.

"It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual." Meta removed that language from its internal guidelines after I raised it. AI experts worry financial incentives will blur the line between human relationships and bot engagement. www.reuters.com/investigates...

<sobs in math teacher> Btw, he's made this claim MULTIPLE TIMES recently.

PBS Passport and Hulu are the only ones I pay for, and honestly PBS Passport is a better deal, although I originally signed up just to be a good citizen. All Creatures Great and Small (current one), Miss Scarlet, and more have been great.

Buttigieg should be better on a moral level AND on a strategic level. He's supposed to be one of the best "communicators" in the party but he's getting duped by a Fox News-created nonissue that's ENTIRELY designed to create division and discord among Democrats? He's playing right into their hand.

Important to remember that this kind of discourse about “women’s safety” is not about women’s dignity or access to full participation in public life, but about enforcing white women’s status as a kind of collective racial property of white men.

Trump: This is somebody nobody else can do. We will get the drug prices down… 1000% 600% 500% 1500%. Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.

Our neighbors are being snatched off the streets by masked federal agents w/o due process. That should terrify every one of us. I testified before the Rules Committee to demand basic accountability: ICE officers must identify themselves. I am grateful for Sen Wyden leading this issue in the Senate.

This Franklin teacher on summer break will be there! Thanks for being so awesome. Your smarts and determination are impressive.

Well this is a GLORIOUS thread.

I’m so fucking tired of hearing about tax cuts man. Tax me at 50% if it means I get free healthcare, free public transportation with high speed rail, free universal pre k and school lunches, and free college tuition. I want to live in an actual society. Not hoard money like a selfish cunt.

This guy is fantastic. Take a listen.

2) A provision that would have done away with gender-affirming care under Medicaid. These are some good wins in an otherwise terrible bill. My staff and I will be fighting to remove the worst provisions from this bill up until the very end. I'll continue to update you as we get more rulings.

This is a wonky process but BIG news regarding the Republican budget bill: My staff successfully got multiple provisions removed from the bill. Two key wins: 1) Medicaid provider tax. Striking this means Republicans have to backtrack on hundreds of billions in Medicaid cuts.
