Kudos to Bernie Sanders for calling out AIPAC, Citizens United and spineless congress members. We need 100 more Bernie’s.

The US and Iran currently taking turns doing "Wag the Dog" style bombing runs to create content for FOX News.

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

It is now officially summer. Theros, the Greek summer, from Antioch, the House of the Drinking Contest, dated to the 2nd - 3rd century AD. Now in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. #MosaicMonday

Someone's panicking.

“yeah, no. what instincts? Donny Convict is the most easily-hoodwinked goofus on the planet. I’m pretty sure if Iran painted a tunnel on the side of a big rock, he’d run smack right into it.” www.jefftiedrich.com/p/this-is-go...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Probably sold it to Putin

I am glad that today the governor signed a new law repealing New York's ban on providing food and water to people waiting in line to vote. However, it should be clearly noted that this was the result of successful litigation brought by the Brooklyn NAACP -- which the state fought and lost in court.

Daydreaming about being at the Rose Garden restoration unveiling in 2030 at a Democratic White House.

Still trust the 2020 results? This will shake your faith. Dare to read before you judge. biggesttruth.info/records-sugg...

I stand with Canada!

Asking for educators and school children everywhere….

Social Security recipient, 80-year-old Sandi Bachom of NY, said she was terrified by the change. - @sandibachom.bsky.social “What would happen if I didn’t get that check?” she said. “I don’t have any family. Everybody’s dead. There’s no one to take care of me.”

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

This was delicious. Reports are saying Canada is making energy deals with Blue states while responding with tariffs on Red states.

Just saw my first carpenter bee of the year. They are massive. I thought it was a hummingbird because it came right up to my window as the hummingbirds like to, but this one was slower and a bit smaller than a hummingbird...and black, shiny, and shaped like a bee, 😆. So delightful.

www.newsweek.com/luigi-mangio... Luigi fans, it looks like the DNA evidence is 'fruit from a poison tree'. Cops took DNA without consent from a slice of pizza they gave him. It also seems they likely didn't have probable cause for arrest initially. Free Luigi!

I just checked in at the Atlanta airport and the kiosk wanted me to show a "passport or permanent residence card." The airline rep who was helping me said "I don't know why it's doing this it's been doing it all morning."

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Pundit, 2016: "Oh, you're overreacting." Pundit, 2017: "Oh, you're overreacting." Pundit, 2018: "Oh, you're overreacting." Pundit, 2019: "Oh, you're overreacting." Pundit, 2020: "Oh, you're overreacting." Pundit, 2021-2024: "Oh, you're overreacting." Pundit, 2025: "Who could have seen this coming?"

Found in a Canadian grocery store. A lot of countries grow oranges. Good bye, Florida 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

The relatives of one Venezuelan who was deported say he was not a gang member and has tattoos that might have contributed to his being wrongly identified, including one with his autistic younger brother’s name and a rainbow-colored symbol for autism acceptance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I have to go meet with the Department of State tomorrow because someone reported the science communication I do as “practicing medicine without a license” to the state medical board. In their “report” it’s abundantly clear I do nothing of the sort & my degree & profession is obvious. 1/

Well, he wanted to go to Mars, so—

Literally sit down Mike

Ashley St Clair said she was told to keep Elon Musk’s baby a secret, even from his own mother, Maye Musk.

What’s at stake in usurping the Constitution? The destruction of America’s unity. The destruction of Justice. The murdering of domestic stability. The sabotage of vital existential welfare that relives life’s suffering. The tragic loss of Freedom for ourselves and our children.

I'm a thinker, not a fame seeker. I'm a progressive, or what is more, a radical Humanist. I don't pay attention to titles, I pay attention to intellectual substance. And though I love theory, I recognize its abstract limits. Knowledge, as privilege, means social responsibility.

I love owls.. ✨🦉✨

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
