Good morning, Bluesky friends and Happy Earth Day! As this “administration” gets rid of all protections, do what you can in your little part of the world. My pup and I send peace and love!💙🐾☮️

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

If you didn't see Anne Frank's name on the poster board, wouldn't it sound really familiar?

Pope Francis was by far the best most consequential pope in my lifetime, at least since John XXIII whom I barely remember. Francis was knowledgeable about science, cared about the planet, and was concerned more about people than dogma. We will miss his clear urgent gentle and compassionate voice.

Pope Francis was an awesome person and spread the Word better than anyone before him. He talked the talk AND WALK THE WALK!

Thank you, @gomez.house.gov, for standing up for families and the economy! Your leadership protecting programs that allow people to go to work, raise kids, and contribute to our communities like Medicaid, Headstart & Childcare, Social Security, nutrition & more is essential. @momsrising.org #MomSky

If there’s a federal program people like, whether it’s large or small, Trump and Musk want to destroy it. The latest from my newsletter: paulwaldman.substack.com/p/making-gov...

This isn’t about Abrego Garcia, it’s about due process. It’s about a start of authoritarianism. If we stand by then we are part of the problem not part of the solution

Trump became a Republican because he knew he could bamboozle them a lot easier.

Supreme crying about Trumps lawlessness what did they expect when they gave him immunity for all he claims is under Executive immunity.

What the heck why aren’t screaming about deportation people without due process. following up with amount of money this deportation is costin USA 6million. A year, one time payment W H A T is it!!! They stripped USA of jobs that are essential to our safety only to give money to El Salvador?

With unprecedented access, #BBC Eye #film “Inside #Darfur: Siege and Massacres” tells the story of two cities. One that has fallen to the paramilitaries, and another cut off from the outside world, fighting to survive. #Sudan [the forgotten war?]
