Just a reminder.

The president, folks. Are we great yet?

If you are looking to donate to organizations that help others, especially our migrant workers, Hijas del Campo is an excellent one.

Dear The Hague, Do you do pick-ups? Sincerely, The USA

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

The Trump Regime finally entering the FO stage of FAFO.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Grassroots energy just bodied billionaire money tonight. Billionaire backers poured millions into Cuomo’s campaign and it still wasn’t enough to defeat Mamdani. If that doesn’t warm your heart and give you hope, I don’t know what will.

If anyone needed another reminder of how deeply unpopular the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda is, tonight was the night. But we cannot relent and we cannot become complacent. The midterms are right around the corner.

The throughline of Mamdani’s campaign was a willingness to meet people where they were, in physical and ideological ways.

Tonight was a huge win for democracy & a major blow to Trump's authoritarian rule Voters chose Dem govs in VA & NJ, kept a Dem majority on PA’s top court, rejected an anti-voting measure in ME, chose an anti-Trump NYC mayor & are set to back fair maps in CA. Pro-democracy sweep.

AP calls NY Mayoral race in favor of Mamdani!

RIP Jane Goodall. 😢

The funny thing here is, this regime’s shenanigans just makes me want to say it louder…WE SHOULD ALL BE ANTI-FASCIST. And yes, I am willing to die on that hill.

"Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors." — Justice Sonia Sotomayor, delivering the unanimous decision of the court in NRA v. Vullo

The federal government silencing voices that disagree with a particular Administration’s views is anti-American, a violation of First Amendment rights, and exactly the kind of overreach conservatives have been screaming about for years (1/2).

Apologies to all my neighbors. My youngest child has chosen to learn the trombone. #GiveMeEarplugsOrGiveMeDeath

So, now that Kamala has announced that she doesn’t intend to run in CA’s gubernatorial race, can we PLEASE get our shit together and get @katieporteroc.bsky.social elected?? katieporter.com #MoreSmartWomenPlease

Please read and send a comment.

MORE OF THIS!

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that will cut billions of dollars from Medicaid. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people across the country, including more than 15 million people with disabilities. The Senate must reject this dangerous bill.

Just turned in my last paper of the semester. 🎉

Three weeks until the end of my semester, so I’m gearing up for some summer reading. Today’s haul:

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

Head Start ensures that children from low-income families receive the early education they need to be prepared for school and lifelong success. We're taking the Trump administration to court to protect this essential program.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s improper deportation to El Salvador has rightly earned lots of attention, but the other people detained with him should not be forgotten, @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.

This is some bullshit.

They are arresting judges now. Spoiler alert: Just because this regime calls someone a gang member, doesn’t automatically make it true. This is why DUE PROCESS exists. I know, I’m know…I’m preaching to the choir.

Dear HHS, Go fuck yourselves. People are so worried about a “gay agenda,” when literally all queer people want is the same rights afforded to others and to live their lives in peace. That’s it. That’s the agenda. Instead, this will unequivocally kill young people who are struggling.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) tells us about the regime’s path to the destruction of our democracy. MAGA must be stopped, before it’s truly too late.

When trying to send a letter to urge my senators, @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov, to support the Keep Our PACT Act, I got this happy little message. If people are required to enter a prefix, why isn’t Mx. an available choice? Thank you to @repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social for visibility

Lyft, or GTFO.

It’s spontaneous combustion for me, or nothing.

Like I said:

I haven’t really done a lot of street photography for the sake of just doing it, but I took a little stroll through SF’s Chinatown the other day with my buddy, @fuzyjoe.bsky.social. I was really delighted with the pops of color all the lanterns added to the day. #LoveLettersToSF #StreetPhotography

anyone who’s had a family member pass on knows that social security moves super fast to cut off benefits once someone dies.

While AOC & Bernie stand with everyday Americans—tapping into frustration, fear, and anger, drawing huge crowds—Schumer is holed up in DC, bouncing from talk show to talk show, defending a vote he never should’ve made. That’s not leadership; that’s self-preservation. @schumer.senate.gov
