yes. i think the only thing the white house has accomplished this week is dramatically grow the crowds against them.

What happened today should outrage every American — and it's part of a broader pattern of dictator-like moves from Trump's lawless administration. I'm on the Senate floor now to stand with @padilla.senate.gov and condemn this assault on our democracy:

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

Kristi Noem should resign in disgrace.

Their American citizen relatives in Miami voted for this!! There is a huge chasm between the old guard (60s & 70s refugees) who vote for the GOP and the new arrivals. Of course, race and socioeconomic factors are at play too. It’s a mess.

God love this 90-year-old Irish Catholic priest in Los Angeles, who showed up to the protests wearing full vestments in solidarity with immigrant communities. We need more faith leaders with his courage to show up and speak out.

Johns Hopkins has a new Research Saves Lives page - worth a glance and a share: researchsaveslives.jhu.edu

Now that he's been shitcanned, Terry Moran might consider working in a field that's a change of pace from ABC News, like journalism.

Just in from DC Bar - labor attorney Diane Seltzer defeats securities attorney Brad Bondi in a closely watched race with record turnout.

I don't know why white people keep screaming for Barack and Michelle Obama to say something. Y'all didn't listen the last time they talked.

For the times we find ourselves living in, there’s always a work of art.

Same.

We were out day completely unsupervised. I just had to get home for dinner. I rode my bicycle to so many places I shouldn’t have. It was glorious.

All the people coming for this woman over a book title and lousy reporting should be ashamed of themselves.

OMG. Look at baby mustache. I realize that’s not the worst thing about this picture.

It’s that Alex Thompson again. Ignore.

❤️ this for him 53,000 and change copies sold in the first week.

😂😂😂👏👏👏

RESULT: Democrats easily defend a state House seat in South Carolina in a special election tonight. Keishan Scott, the 24-year old Dem nominee, won 71% to 29%, so by 42. (Harris had carried the district by 5% last fall; Biden won it by 15% in 2020.)

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a GROUNDBREAKING new treatment for aggressive breast cancer with a 100% SURVIVAL RATE. By combining chemotherapy with Olaparib (Lynparza) BEFORE surgery, EVERY patient who received the protocol survived the CRITICAL three-year post-treatment period. 🧪🧵⬇️

In Greenville, SC, Travelers Baking Company collab with Loaves and Fishes are working on feeding kids this summer too! Share more good people doing good things when the "system fails our kids." www.wspa.com/news/greenvi...

Fraud , waste, and abuse right? www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Actually, yes, this and a fantastic set of encyclopedias

These days it's a public service to share good news whenever possible.

What state has the most Republicans? California. What state has the second most Democrats? Texas. The Red State/Blue State dichotomy does a lot more to "other" than it does to inform.

And since the earlier image seems to have taken off, here's another pastel portrait by Georgia O'Keeffe of Beauford Delaney, this one a frontal view
