Man charged with supplying chemicals to Palm Springs fertility clinic bomber dies in custody

When someone's local hospital closes, they won't "get over it."   When someone's nursing home closes, they won't "get over it."   When someone's kid is kicked off health care, they won't "get over it."   America, let these Republicans know you will NOT "get over" cuts to Medicaid.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

It’s time to ask, isn’t it?! 👇 Time to start ‘UNMASKING ICE!’ Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

“What if a Republican lawmaker said, “You know what? I don’t think I can vote for a bill that cuts Medicaid by $800 billion and kicks 16 million people off health insurance just so a billionaire can get a bigger tax return.” Vote no on the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’! www.meidasplus.com/p/speak-now-...

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE, Skylights and Skywalkers!! Today invites us to reflect on BALANCE—between work/life, self/community, anger/joy, action/rest. As day and night are in equilibrium, I hope you find yours, too. 🌞 We’ll need strong backs and steely spines, but we also need soft, open fronts.❤️

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

It's unacceptable for policing to look like this in America.

Trump leaving G 7 meeting early,...

It was illegal to help fugitives flee enslavement in the 1800s. It was illegal to help Jewish People escape the Holocaust. It is currently illegal to help immigrants stay safe from ICE.

We, the people, have spoken!

Protesters formed a human banner at Ocean Beach during the "No Kings" protests in San Francisco on Saturday. The protest is among nationwide demonstrations against President Donald Trump. 📸: Santiago Mejia

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

I’m here at Burger King but there aren’t any other protestors.

United Farm Workers ( @ufw.bsky.social) is calling “bullshit” on Trump’s reported pause on abducting farm workers: “We experienced such a sweep in Moorpark, CA today — after this ‘guidance’ reportedly went out.” ufw.org/ufw-calls-bu... #WeFeedYou

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

Bad enough that Alden is a hedge fund vampire sucking ink and cash out of newspapers--now it won't allow a formidable local voice on behalf of the city's interests to be heard, and read. www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/02...

Can report a strong turnout at our local No Kings rally. Lots of American flag waving and supportive horn honking. Many homemade signs, some indignant, some witty. One that seemed particularly McLean appropriate: “If only Kamala had won, we’d all be at brunch.”

No kings
