In case you were curious. US Soccer will receive $27.6 million dollars for making the World Cup round of 16. They keep 20%. All players on the USMNT & USWNT will receive ~$473,000. The men's & womens share US Soccer prizes equally to promote unity & equity. Unions matter

Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.

California Cops Tracked Protesters Using Orange County Sheriff's Flock System For over 19 months, cops across the Golden State continuously used OCSD’s Flock system to track protesters, almost all linked to anti-ICE demonstrations.

For the ppl saying that women are liars cause they only speak up when a man is running for office, consider that most victims are just happy to escape and our peace is more important to us than “justice” but if our abusers were about to gain power, we’d feel morally obliged to say something

. Hey Americans!! If you’re still wondering why the world hates you, here’s an example of a reason We don’t hate YOU per se We hate your politicians .

🚨BREAKING: Trump DOJ says it will deploy federal election monitors to six states during the 2026 primary season. The announcement comes the same day DOJ threatened election officials with potential criminal prosecution over noncitizen voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Just talked to my old friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes.

Oregon has voted by mail for almost 30 years. It's safe, it's secure, and it works. I will always protect it.

Here’s a crazy idea: if a corporation wants to build a data center, they should also be required to construct renewable resource mechanisms to operate it—not funded by the public, but from the mountains of wealth they already possess.

They were going to bulldoze 2,000 acres next to the Manassas battlefield for the largest data center on the planet—22 million square feet of servers, bankrolled by a Blackstone billionaire who funds Trump. A handful of neighbors just killed it. Here's how: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-went...

If you had to prove citizenship today in order to vote, would you have one of these? 📌US passport: $165 📌Certified birth certificate: $10 to $35 (varies by state/county) 📌Naturalization or citizenship certificate: $555 (replacement fee)  REAL ID doesn’t prove citizenship. #SAVEActIsPayToVote

Ellman: You want to fire people over DEI? You know that disabled combat veterans are DEI hires? Did you know there are people I worked with who couldn’t work other jobs because they had tbi, or were missing limbs, or had chronic health issues caused by their service to this country?

UPDATE: A federal judge denied DOJ's request to pause an injunction against Trump's mail voting executive order, confirming the order remains blocked in 23 blue states and D.C. The DOJ appealed the injunction to the First Circuit last week.

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

Seems like a good time to remind people the USWNT has won 4 World Cups! ⚽️

Trump's DOJ sued 30 states demanding every voter's SSN and license number. The real reason slipped out in court—and it wasn't "election integrity." The regime is now 0 for 11. Here's why: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-went...

Orange Turd in Oval Office violates the Constitution and multiple laws every day. His private military aka ICE kills innocent people with zero consequences. If it walks like a duck and talks like a dictator it can only be one thing

NEW: USPS asked a court to temporarily allow it to move forward with implementing Trump's order directing it to only deliver mail ballots to states that share voter lists with the federal government. Democrats warn the order will make it harder for states to smoothly administer the midterms.

What Say You,Military Recruiters...?

An Afghan national who fought alongside U.S. forces has died from an allergic reaction while in ICE custody, one day after he was detained for deportation proceedings, his death certificate shows. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Oregon was the first state in the country to create a state-run retirement savings program to help people save for the future. Nearly 150,000 Oregonians are now participating, with over $400 million saved. As long as I’m your governor, we will continue to make progress for working people.

Thousands of incarcerated people are legally eligible to vote but have been blocked from casting their ballot. This widespread erosion of voting rights is driven not by laws, Bob Libal writes, but by a lack of infrastructure and misinformation. Here’s the solution: https://bit.ly/4wyVFXr

Independent Scotland will be one of the Richest Countries in Europe. Are you a Unionist, running out of excuses?

Whole collection was giving me Hollywood glamour, especially this look. Love it from the back for a dramatic exit!

Mitch McConnell's senate term expires in 2027. Who is running to fill his seat? GOP currently holds a 53-seat majority, so their majority is not at risk. GOP doesn't want Governor Beshear, a Democrat, to have a chance to make an interim (likely Dem) appointment ahead of November elections.

Life imitates art. Episode of the West Wing had an unconscious SCOTUS chief Justice. When the founders wrote the COTUS, life expectancy was much shorter and "living" by artifical means wasn't a thing.

Maybe time for true patriots to organize and volunteer to hide artifacts until the crisis has passed.

Tech executives have warned AI could funnel enormous wealth to a handful of people and create a “permanent underclass.” Why should Big Tech get all the profits while we pay the costs? It’s time to tax AI.

For what it's worth- Is someone keeping him on life support to run out the clock for a special election so repubs can keep the majority? That's what it looks like to me.

The President of the United States is attacking a group of kindergarteners because of the clothes they wore to school.

thenerdstash.com/greg-abbott-... Texas Governor Greg Abbott has recently vetoed a bill that would grant federal funds for a summer lunch program aimed at low-income children The decision sparked outrage among Texans who criticized the Republican governor for cutting costs in such an important area

Trump and Republicans don’t want to prevent voter fraud, they want to prevent voting. Republicans want you to believe that the 2020 election was stolen, the insurrection was justified, and their voter suppression laws are about election security. They are lying! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Oregonians went to the movies and were forced to watch a President Trump propaganda video instead of trailers. In Oregon, we know the difference between supporting our military and a MAGA campaign ad. I will always fight to keep federal intimidation out of our communities.

🧵Federal law bars broad voter roll purges close to federal elections, but the DOJ argues it can still pluck voters one by one right up to Election Day. Now, the Supreme Court is set to weigh in on Trump’s latest target. Here's what's at stake👇

RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.

1,000 musicians gather in this stadium to practice all day for this moment: to honor David Bowie with his song! Am not gonna lie, the French are the most passionate artists I ever encountered... Long live rock n' roll! 😎🎸🎉 #davidbowie #bowie #musicians #artistsunite #rock #rebelebel #love #vibes #🫶

This video is great... All Americans should watch it...! 😏

I’m begging every single person who reads this to never, ever rely upon AI for mental health services. An early study on what professions could be performed by AI found that therapists were the *least replaceable* AI will not be suited to this task in our lifetime. Save yourself the pain.

I just finished binging Ken Burns' American Revolution series (again) and was reminded that July 4, 1776 was just the day the Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence. The colonies and Britain fought a civil war for 8-1/2 yrs and thousands died. The final treaty wasn't
