Don't you wish you could be an archeologist excavating the Potomac region in 3026? www.foxnews.com/travel/archa...

Country Joe, RIP. This is where you and I both came in. One, two, three, four, what are we fighting for? Five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates, well, there ain't no time to wonder why, Whoopee! we're all going to die www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W7-...

A dollar if you can prove he knows what "unconditional surrender" means

Like clockwork.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

To my AANHPI friends: Our families and friends are on their lists, too. Vote out this abominable regime and its enablers.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Many abolitionists were vegetarians. They believed eating red meat inflamed your passions and made you want to claim ownership of other people, and also made you want to inflict pain on other people. Looking at the regime's embrace of RFK's diet recs, abolitionists' ideas seem to be true

I am facing a moral/dietary quandary. I start my day with kefir, milk in my espresso, mid-day snack of cheese, ending with ice cream. I am devastated to learn that I'm on-board with the regime, who are pushing whole milk as a boost for passing cognitive exams.

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

My slogan for 2026: No more fascists, no more crooks Just Happy People Reading Books

Personal PAC, the extremely effective organization that turned Illinois from having the most repressive reproductive healthcare laws in the country to having the most progressive, had its annual lunch last week.

In Grant Park, the crowd is enormous and we are exhilarated!

Last night, I hosted a very fun block party to celebrate books. Among the people who stopped by was Deborah Caldwell-Stone, who heads the Freedom to Read Foundation (they’re filing SCOTUS briefs today in the Llano County censorship case).

Gunnar war in Kassel bei einer Lesung von @saraparetsky.bsky.social Sie las abwechselnd mit ihrer deutschen Verlegerin und Übersetzerin @elselaudan.bsky.social aus ihrem neuesten Roman #Wunderpunkt vor und erzählte in gutem Deutsch von der Entwicklung ihrer Protagonistin. Ein gelungener Abend.

Sara is having an amazing time meeting readers in Germany in her tour there! So far she has visited Kassel with Brencher Buchhandlung and Hamburg with Buchhandlung Wassermann, and is looking forward to Munich and Berlin.

I never thought I’d see the cowardice that we’re seeing today. The heads of universities, media corps, law firms, elected officials … all afraid of a gaudy orange insecure liar. It’s just overwhelmingly shocking.

Auch im Urlaub hat Gunnar immer einen #Krimi dabei. Diesmal musste der neueste Roman #Wunderpunkt von @saraparetsky.bsky.social mit zum Strand, in dem die Privatermittlerin V.I. Warshawski einem Mordfall in Kansas nachgeht. #Thriller #Urlaubslektüre #Krimiserie @elselaudan.bsky.social

7 neue Titel haben es in die Krimibestenliste August 2025 von Deutschlandfunk und Deutschlandfunk Kultur geschafft und wie Gunnar #Wunderpunkt von @saraparetsky.bsky.social gefallen hat, erfahren wir bestimmt nach seinem Urlaub. Hier auf dem Blog! @elselaudan.bsky.social #Thriller #Krimi #Rezension

we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history

Oh so the president could release secret files if he wanted to, you say?

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Trump's administration is not only openly flouting the law, but they're also abandoning their responsibility to our students. Today, I'm joining governors across the nation calling upon Sec. McMahon to release $6.8B the administration is withholding from schools and students.

Thank you ♥️

UTAH… this is not a game…

Nothing screams 'freedom' quite like arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.

I'm attending John Lewis Actions's event, “GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON: Chicago, IL” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/john-lewis-a...

By executive order Matt 25:34ff now reads, "Jesus said with his fingers crossed and a wink, 'I was hungry and you fed me...I was a stranger and you welcomed me...I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ ...as you did it to one of the least of my people, you did it to me.’

The monstrous budget bill is up for a vote this week. we can phone bank Mon, Tues & Weds, asking voters to call their senators to vote NO on cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other vital social justice programs. www.mobilize.us/wfpower/even...

The Supremes seem to be against both the Constitution and against the lives of ordinary Americans. Two sick-making decisions today, this one in addition to allowing the regime to eviscerate the 14th Amendment

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Multiple choice quiz for the supremes. Which clause in the Constitution do you hate most: 1) Equal protection guarantee 2)Separation of Church & State 3) Due process 4) Free speech 5) Goals listed in Preamble 6)Protection against search & seizure 7)No involuntary servitude 8)All of the above

In a just world, the hospital would have told HS Sec Noem, "You're out of network. Either you pay all charges or find a hospital that accepts your insurance." Or - everyone in America would have access to taxpayer-funded gold-plated insurance available to her, Congress, and other high flyers

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

If you're in Chicago, join Sara this Saturday, June 21 at 5 pm at 57th Street Wines for Words + Wine! [EM]

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

I want someone to read this to me in a sexy Luther Vandross voice.
