The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

So swampy.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners? TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

“The money the Post Office spent came from us already. It is used to provide an insanely valuable service to us. And we could say that about any number of other things that provide massive value that we already paid for: libraries, schools, parks, fire departments, roads.”

Man, it's a BONANZA of comics documentaries on Tubi this month! Here's a really touching hour-long piece on Maurice Sendak, at the end of his life. He speaks eloquently about death, and creating, and love. Recommended.

New on Netflix! The acclaimed adaption of Argentinian writer Hector Oesterheld's sci-fi comics series EL ETERNAUTA! It's considered THE masterpiece of Argentinian comics. Oesterheld, his four daughters and their partners were murdered by the Argentinian Junta in 1979. Yes, you read that right.

This vet has had enough...

Massachusetts voters approved a 4% surtax on the ultra-wealthy in 2022. Since then, the number of millionaires in Massachusetts has jumped by 38.6%. Wealth taxes don't kill innovation or drive the wealthy away. NOT taxing the wealthy costs us all.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms and mother-figures! Michelle, the girls and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

People who never read books now in charge of books.

The man checked out 50 books on topics that included Jewish history, African-American history and LGBTQ education. Then burned them. www.cleveland.com/community/20...

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

You MUST watch this exchange from today’s Tx House debate on anti-library HB3225. “This is about your desire to make sure that children have access to sexually explicit materials,” says the bill’s author. “Rep Alders, do you know what I have done for a living?” Says @voteannjohnson.bsky.social

On this day in 1960, Tony Gwynn was born in Los Angeles, CA. Without a doubt, one of the greatest hitters of his era, if not all time. Here’s my small painting of the Padres great that was used in 2019’s 150 Years of Baseball set by Topps. A super fun project to be involved in!

"What did they do?" -- Trump has no idea what he's signing and has to have it explained to him

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

BREAKING: President Trump just fired our nation's Librarian. My statement here:

Trump says that empty US ports and truck drivers losing jobs is 'actually a good thing'

An anniversary worth marking. I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

Elmo’s LinkedIn update has me 😫
