The Brown v. Board ruling happened 72 years ago today. The reversal of the Supreme Court’s previous “separate but equal” decision highlights how it’s possible to overcome bad SCOTUS decisions. But it took years of activism from brave people to get there. Keep fighting.

We will not be silent. We will not be intimidated. And we will not go back!

The most corrupt president in history:

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Reporting is not treason. Expressing an opinion on social media is not treason. But attempting to overthrow the U.S. government or actively aiding its enemies, like say compensating the criminals who tried to overthrow the U.S. government, sure seems like treason.

Dana Bash at the end giving credence to this “debate” is shocking. Whether to vaccinate your children against measles is NOT A LEGITIMATE POLICY DEBATE.

This Needs to Happen…. Idea: a law that says if you’re going to build a data center, you have to also build enough solar panels to power it. We can call it the Bring Your Own Damn Grid Act.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

This is utterly batshit crazy. FFS it's way past the time of some 25th amendment. He belongs in some mental institution babbling away every day. Absolutely he is projecting. His every accusation is a confession. Thank you for your attention to this matter, LOL!!

Remember, every accusation is a confession…

If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.

“Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents are being told to find a new power provider because the grid is being re-routed to A.I. data centers.”

There is something powerful in the repetition in the line “There will be dying, there will be dying,” & then stepping away, a deliberate turning of attention What remains is what continues in spite of everything, he's not arguing for hope, he notices it #poetry #poemoftheday #MentalHealthMatters

"The moment you begin to censor the writer- and history bears this out in the ugliest of fashions -so begins a process of decay in the body politic that ultimately leads to disaster." ~Rod Serling Speech, Library of Congress (1968)

🇺🇦 Ukraine just hit Russia hard: One of its largest drone strikes in months set the massive Ryazan oil refinery on fire and struck military targets across multiple regions. The refinery — which processes 17 million tons of oil per year — is located just 110 miles from Moscow. 🔥Keep going, Ukraine!

This is not okay! Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced today that he’s commuting the sentence of Tina Peters a former county clerk and 2020 election denier who received nine years for tampering with election equipment

Update: The DOJ is now 6 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files. Holding these criminals accountable must be the Nuremberg of our time.

oh no, somebody spilled all of their puppies.

Cleaning up Orban’s corruption in Hungary is a huge task after he looted their country for years, and it is certainly something we can watch unfold and learn from.

Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

For the umpteenth time: The most corrupt president in American history.

"the dramatic cost declines in batteries have now made 'firm renewables' — solar or wind paired with batteries — cheaper than fossil fuels in many parts of the world." This is game changing.

The Intel chair hasn’t read the treaty. If he had, he’d know there’s only been one time NATO was required to help the U.S. and that was after 9/11. And they did.

All the car parks to the supermarkets and hyper markets in this area are done. Plus quite a few much smaller parking areas. All new agricultural buildings have solar panel roofs as well.

This microscopic freshwater organism, Limnias malicerta, is a rotifer, recognized by its rotating wheel-like structures. It uses spinning cilia on its head to swim and capture tiny food like algae and bacteria. Original post

A very simplified reason to not trust republicans to run the country.

This is Natty. He's the first official team dog for the Washington Nationals. He makes his big-league debut on Friday and will learn basic skills and socialization with the team before he goes on to formal service dog training with Canine Companions. 13/10

House Democrats secured the necessary signatures to bypass Speaker Mike Johnson and force a vote on a package of Russia sanctions and billions of dollars in Ukraine aid. This is the eighth time in the last three years that a discharge petition has been used to do an end-run around GOP leadership.

An administration so ignorant that it is indifferent to American history. Kash Patel goes snorkeling over a site where 2,403 Americans lost their lives. And when Donald Trump visited, his chief of staff said he asked what happened at Pearl Harbor and why they were there. apnews.com/article/fbi-...
