Tonight was a good reminder for us all to read books. Please, for humanity, read books. Read lots and lots of books — especially ones you disagree with! - Prof. Laslo

Trump's approach to relationships -- of all kinds.

He forgot that Congress is a thing. TBF, Congress also forgot that Congress is a thing...

The Supreme Court just gutted conversion therapy bans across America 8 to 1. The court just gave the green light to a practice the United Nations calls torture.

Stephen Miller wanted to win a “PR battle; and repeatedly said that demonstrators “need to be vanquished by any force necessary,” and claimed that Pretti was an “assassin” when he was simply filming agents while exercising his Second Amendment right. newrepublic.com/post/208362/...

Only in America: can the losers of a coup sue police for not letting them kill politicians.

Accountability brings consequences. And consequences are the only language corruption understands. Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution. They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

Rubio discovers the concept of misplaced priorities.

Yes, millions were out protesting their President a mere two days ago, but please American Press, let’s get some nonsensical quotes from him about his mismanaged war to fix stock prices! Pulitzers for everyone!!

Cosplaying working class Rafael Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard. When he flees his constituents without power, he stays at the Ritz-Carlton. His wife, Heidi, is Managing Director at the fancy investment firm Goldman Sachs. They are not men & women with callouses on their hands. They are elites.

Under Trump, the CFTC has dropped investigations into Kalshi and Polymarket, announced its opposition to states’ attempts to regulate them, and made no moves to crack down on insider trading. Donald Trump, Jr. is an advisor to both Kalshi and Polymarket. Always follow the money.

Gas skyrocketing, bombs dropping, our standing in the world in tatters, taxpayer dollars up in flames — meanwhile this oligarch dictator wanna-be brags about his new ballroom and the “Corinthian” columns How is every American not sickened by this?

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

@housedemocrats.bsky.social If this is true and We The People are NOT HEARING IT FROM YOU THEN IT'S ONE MORE FAILURE!

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

And enjoying mariachi.

The most troubling aspect is that no action is being taken regarding this issue. It is indeed disheartening.

Republicans be like, "we can't impeach Trump because he's the only thing holding our party together". My brothers, if Trump is what's holding you together, then you deserve to fail.

Just sitting here thinking about how Black ppl came up with jazz, the blues, rock and roll and hip hop WHILE this country was doing everything it could to ensure we had nothing. Nobody needs Al to create except the untalented.

The world is looking at us with great unease.

Yep.

He Bankrupted US, the United States of America.

I approve this message.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Agreed.

Today is the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire: 148 workers killed, most of them young Jewish immigrant women. Survivors like Pauline Newman fought for child labor protections. The @forward.com asks what it means that those protections are eroding again. forward.com/opinion/8095...

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

It must be *infuriating* to TSA agents, who are NOT getting paid, to see lazy ICE agents, who ARE getting paid, lounging about the airport and doing nothing to help either them or passengers.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

When anxiety becomes a morning routine.

Punchbowl confirms what I suspected in a post last night. Thune reached a deal with Dems to fund DHS except for ICE and Trump rejected it. DONALD TRUMP is to blame for airport chaos - not Democrats.

This is like outlawing shark attacks in cornfields.

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

Five-time draft dodger says what now?

Zelensky is everything that Trump is not. Trump hates that. Good!

More corruption in plain sight.

This bear looks exactly what I imagine I do when I've taken a nap in my papasan chair & now have to figure out a way out of it.
