Cyndi Lauper says complaints against hip-hop Rock Hall inductees are "bullshit." "It is rock & roll. When rock & roll first came out, people like Chuck Berry and Little Richard changed everything. It was a new thing. When hip-hop started, it was also a new thing." rollingstone.com/music/music-...

As Ohioans struggle, my policies will come from local communities not Elon Musk. I’ll fight to fully fund our public schools instead of your plan to defund them. And yes, transparency matters. Ohioans deserve to know why a candidate for Gov moved his business from OH to TX.

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to end routine food safety inspections.

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

President Trump just fired almost the entire staff of the CFPB, who protect you from getting scammed by Wall Street. This is another assault on consumers and our democracy by Trump's lawless Administration. We will fight back with everything we've got.

I call bs, they knew exactly what they were doing. This happened in my Ohio town. www.dispatch.com/story/news/2...

If you want to mass block the MAGA’s

Hooooooooottt!!!! 🔥☕️

Bingo

Who has seen one of these out in the wild?

Watch out for this account, Bluesky peeps….. they are nefarious and that is putting it generously.

Beshear: When I vetoed the nastiest anti-LGBTQ+ bill during my election year, I explained why I did it. My faith teaches me that all children are children of God. I wanted those children, who were being hated on, to know their governor cares for them… my faith tells me that’s my job

Now is the time to be heard. Who's planning on visiting their Capital city on 4/5? Gather your like minded friends & family, and make a stand. The movement is growing, and needs to get bigger.

Today is the release day of The Martian Contingency, @maryrobinettekowal.com's latest book, which you should all pick up at your favorite bookseller. It's great. She is on tour, and also this Sunday she and I are doing an event together in Columbus, OH: events.columbuslibrary.org/event/12589545

When people talk about "American Exceptionalism" they now usually mean that Americans are exceptionally bad a running a country.

Meanwhile the US is kidnapping Canadians at the US border…imagine how she would have been treated had she been “brown”. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

How much fentanyl did Americans seize at the Canadian border in 2024? A piddly 43 lbs. From Mexico? Over 21,000 lbs. How much did Canadians seize coming from the USA? 9782 lbs.

All republicans go to Hell.

Can’t wait to post these all over my supermarkets and gas pumps in my MAGA hometown this weekend.

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

✨ Took a quick timeout for some mental health TLC and to honor my incredible grandma who is now lounging with the stars. 🌟 But I'm back and ready to rock! 🎸 Cheers to all my fellow resisters—let’s keep lifting each other up! 💪🏻 Sending love and strength to everyone. Stay safe, stay fierce! ❤️✊

Canada, Panama, and Greenland are not enemies of the United States. Fascists are though, both foreign and domestic.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Good friday friends! Today, as the sun beats down and tries to melt this snow and ice, I'll be singing a song in my head. When that song ends, I'll start another. Keep the music going in your day, it makes your heart pump with joy, with each and every note. What's your song today?

The worst thing about the world is men
