The loss of our #goldenretriever, Hudson, on April 28 was a reminder of what's important in life. And it's not ballrooms, wars, racism and hate: bashandlucybooks.com/grieving-the...

The SAVE Act and its more extreme version, the SAVE America Act, could shut millions of eligible citizens out of our democracy. Tell Congress to reject these attacks on our freedom to vote at aclu.org/stop_anti_voter_

How can PSE&G get more chargers installed at multi-family housing complexes? How much do #demandresponse programs for #EV drivers help out in the summer? How might a new #timeofuse rate save money for people who charge at home? Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

People who immigrate to the U.S. come here to find safety and opportunity and contribute to our communities. We should be welcomed with dignity, not demonized.

I'm seeing these #AntiIce posters all over #Portland...this one at a #Beaverton park.

Elliott Steele, a researcher at the UC Davis @wildenergy.bsky.social Center, is studying how a #floatingsolar array at the Nelson Family Vineyards affects birds. In Florida, alligators and other animals hang out on the #solar systems. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

The government’s arrests of journalists @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social are attacks on freedom of the press. Two federal courts flatly rejected prosecuting Lemon, but instead of accepting that humiliating defeat, the government has now doubled down. Read our statement:

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

New Podcast: Nelson Family Vineyards in Mendocino County, Calif., will soon power up its #floatingsolar system, deployed on pontoons on an irrigation pond, expecting to cut utility costs — up 180% over the last three years — by about $90,000 annually. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/v...

The University of Arkansas rescinded a job offer for Emily Suski, a prospective law school dean, after she signed an amicus brief in our Supreme Court case supporting a transgender teen banned from playing sports. State officials can't punish public employees for their opinions and legal advocacy.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Auchincloss: "When you have a badge & gun and you are interacting with a citizen who has committed no crime, the onus of responsibility is on you to exercise good judgment. Nobody watching that video will buy the argument that he had no other resort other than to shoot her in the face 3 times."

SCOOP: House Democrats suspected a few in their caucus would support a bill criminalizing gender-affirming care for trans youth So Sarah McBride reached out to Republicans Four Rs — Fitzpatrick, Lawler, Kennedy, Evans — joined Dems in opposing the bill www.notus.org/congress/mcb...

Kennedy family members today denounced a plan to rename the Kennedy Center so it includes President Trump's surname.

BREAKING: Kennedy Niece Maria Shriver: "It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not."

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

"Republicans often kowtow to Trump’s demands, but increasingly party actors like Indiana legislators are balking. When they do — whether motivated by principle, self-interest, or spite — it’s not (just) Democrats who benefit. It’s the entire country and the Constitution."

Governor Kotek has consistently stood up for Oregonians and the values we share. We’ve worked side by side against harmful federal actions, including opposing troop deployment in Portland. She’s the partner I need to continue this fight, and I am proud to support her re-election.

Costco sues the Trump admin to ensure that it gets its money back if/when SCOTUS declares the tariffs illegal. This is what happens when the court lets the president break the law for a little while. Thanks, CJ Roberts! aaronrupar.substack.com/p/costco-tru...

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

The days of thanking veterans today and forgetting them tomorrow has to come to an end.

Military members swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to police American cities and chill dissent. If you or a loved one has served in the military, join us in telling the Trump administration that troops don't belong on our streets.

“When we enlisted in the military, we were proud to serve our country. We never imagined that, after our service, we would have to fight for our own healthcare.” @tennesseelookout.com
