Watch out for the arugula!

Pray for us. It’s walking our little corgi mutt on a sunny day across pedestrian/train bridge over to the south waterfront. BTW this is just a few blocks from the ICE facility that “needs protecting” #warravagedportland

“Mama” Cass Elliot would have turned 84 today. “I would say the world’s in terrible shape,” she once said, “but I’m afraid the world would say, ‘Look who’s talking!’” #RIP “Dream a Little Dream” (1968)

The Kimmel suspension is a much bigger deal than you know. It's really about a growing alliance between Trump and the companies that own America's local TV stations - like Nexstar - to turn local TV into Trump propaganda. 1/ Let me tell you the short story. It's chilling.

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

“This is a time to be loud, and to stay loud, and not stop until we fix this.” Thank you, @jimmykimmel.com, for always being an outspoken advocate against gun violence and using your platform to support a safer America for everyone.

A wholesome and much needed TL cleanser.

The California Senate passed #AB1127 — a bill that will stop the future sale of pistols that can easily be converted into fully automatic weapons. The bill’s passage means CA is one step closer to making history as the first state to take on the gun industry’s role in the spread of DIY machine guns.

But it’s not over yet. We need Governor Newsom to take this legislation across the finish line and keep California leading the way on gun safety! #CALeg @governor.ca.gov

Only in America could you have a "school shooting industry."

I took this picture myself at the CDC protest today. These are among the hundreds of bullet holes in CDC headquarters windows, visible from the street. I heard today that the admin has no urgent plan to fix these windows. Imagine being a CDC employee going to work under these conditions

BREAKING NEWS: We just won the largest ever verdict against a gun dealer in American history. Today’s $62 million verdict will make the city of Baltimore exponentially safer from the scourge of gun violence. This is the kind of action we need to reduce violent crime in our country.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D): "These were Minneapolis families. These were American families ... Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Trump extends control over Washington by taking management of Union Station away from Amtrak. @apnews.com

Honored to welcome the new UC President to the floor, JB Milliken. Excited to work together in serving students and continuing to protect and grow the crown jewel of our state, our world-class public university. Looking forward to building on the UC’s legacy of excellence, equity, and opportunity.

“As a public university, we are stewards of taxpayer resources, and a payment of this scale would completely devastate our country’s greatest public university system as well as inflict great harm on our students and all Californians.” —UC President James B. Milliken

Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping” turns 28 today. The song “didn’t belong to an elite group of musicians,” said Boff Whalley. “It belonged to people. People at football matches, people singing along — people at parties drinking too much whiskey and tripping over the kitchen chairs. People like me.”

Edie Brickell releases her debut LP “Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars” 37 years ago today — with “What I Am”, a song about her college sociology class. “Everybody was getting so deep .. I was just irritated, like, just kill me now before I get out there and lose myself and my sense of who I am.”

The Trump administration has frozen $108 million in federal funds for Duke University’s medical school and health care system, according to two administration officials.

Journalists covering recent demonstrations in California have been assaulted, detained, and shot with crowd-control munitions — simply for doing their jobs. “We see these agencies acting lawlessly,” @tinadesireeberg.com said. Read the recap from our webinar:

Les Etats-Unis annonçent se retirer de l’Unesco, l’organisation des Nations unies pour l’éducation

🇺🇸 Les États-Unis ont annoncé mardi leur retrait de l'Unesco, organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture, qu'ils avaient déjà quittée sous l'impulsion de Donald Trump fin 2018 avant d'y revenir en juin 2023.

Beach Boys release “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” as a single 59 yrs ago today “What Brian [Wilson] really wanted was to get past the limitations of being a kid,” said co-writer Tony Asher. “He hated being told what to do. The song was kind of his fantasy about freedom, love, and getting away from all that”

Billy Joel is #1 on the album charts today in 1980 with “Glass Houses”. “People were saying I was too soft, that I didn’t rock. So I said, ‘Okay, I’ll make a rock album.’ Glass Houses was me throwing a rock through a window — literally and musically.” “You May Be Right”

Idaho’s @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers partnered w/March For Our Lives, holding a vigil this evening @Fallen Firefighters Memorial, Boise. Our “Firefighters, first responders, brave souls who run towards danger not away from it. This is really difficult to grasp.” @everytown.bsky.social

Idaho has some of the worst gun laws in the country—lacking every single foundational gun safety measure. America’s gun violence crisis is preventable, not inevitable. Our hearts are with the victim’s loved ones and the entire Coeur d’Alene community as they grapple with this senseless tragedy.
