cats don't obey in advance and no one else should, either

A true winner and class act.

Coco Gauff telling the ball kids “you guys are awesome!” and that of course they can touch the cup. There are different levels of winning; opening space to lift up others is the top.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Nothing better than a good (Bela)Russian meltdown in the face of a steely American. #cocogauf #madisonkeys #whorunstheworld #girlpower #tennis

Hey everybody! Check this out!

Give us what we paid for!

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Are you going to a rally this weekend? I found one near me at 50501. Saturday is the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War that gave us our democracy. The theme of this weekend is No Kings. We're in a Constitutional crisis so show up if you don't want a fking king! www.fiftyfifty.one/events

Please, send this message to your congress members. It’s quick and easy.

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

Claiming that America is a “Christian nation“ while actively creating legislation that directly harms the very people Jesus called us to serve—namely the poor, the sick, the hungry, the immigrant, and the marginalized—is the height of both religious and political hypocrisy.

Excellent information on the steps where we can work to throw sand in the “gears.”

Democrats in red states need to create dashboards like this. Every state should be doing this.

"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, executed by the Nazis, April 9, 1945

Today (April 9th, 2025) marks the 80th year anniversary of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s death at the hands of the Gestapo on April 9th, 1945, just two weeks before his concentration camp was liberated by American soldiers.

I was told there would be winning.

Pundits hate simplicity. If something is simple you don’t have to have pundit expertise to explain it. Trump Cabinet now has a public record as the stupidest Cabinet in history. This isn’t complicated. They are stupid rich people. Any analysis that doesn’t begin with their stupidity is stupid.

Indiana, we could have had this wonderful woman as our senator instead of donut Banks. #Jimbanks #firejimbanks

Now would be a perfect opportunity for Christians all over America to take a stand against Christian Nationalism and tell it to take its hands off our sacred faith and our country.

#Handsoff Fort Wayne, Indiana showing up!

Thank you for showing respect for our service members. That’s much more than the current administration is doing.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Who are the people & groups destroying American democracy? From ultra wealthy funders & think tanks to Christian nationalist leaders & moms at school board mtgs, religious nationalism expert @katherinestewart.bsky.social outlines it all w/ @michaelsteele.bsky.social 🎧 pod.fo/e/2bf0f1 📺 rb.gy/jycc82

I suggest Paul Weiss hire her as its new managing partner.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Look at this crowd 🙌 Man, I am PROUD of these #Hoosiers #ToddYoung #EmptyChairTownHall #HoosierSky #Indianapolis #MeidasTouch
