#ProudBlue #MomSky I am on Medical & Social Security because I am disabled. Did I ever think I would wake up one day sick & never get better? NO! But it happened. It can happen to you too. We are NOT waste, fraud or abuse! Just because you don’t need program yourself doesn’t mean it’s waste.

Looking back on all the things I became because of libraries, it stands to reason that some people might see them as a threat. I would hope that anyone who does is seen for what they are. Anyone who would diminish a library diminishes democracy, builds a wall around freedom. New from Scott Woods.

It’s pretty staggering that 25 years ago people thought the internet would bring us a utopia, and it brought back measles killing children instead

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social: "The only way you can think that recognizing the accomplishments of Jackie Robinson, Elizabeth Eckford or Harriet Tubman is somehow divisive, is if you think that black people are not Americans. Their heroism as Americans makes the country better."

Instead of preventing voters from participating in their democracy, Congress should pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure our democracy works for everyone––no matter their gender or zip code. #HandsOffHerVote

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

contrarian.substack.com/p/a-nation-a... inspirational: If John Lewis were here today he would be encouraging us “to stand up, speak up, and speak out” vs injustice. He would be reminding us that silence is compliance. He would be asserting that the Constitution begins with the words “We the people”…

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

Hillary Clinton told you the truth about Trump and Putin. You didn't vote for her and she was right about everything. Kamala Harris told you the truth about Trump and Putin. You didn't vote for her and she was right about everything. I hope your misogyny was worth losing your democracy. Dummies.

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable. 2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

Lemme get this straight… Donald Trump didn’t get a ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia. He clearly didn’t end the war. He didn’t get Zelenskyy to sign a minerals deal. He ended the peace talks and canceled a press conference. And MAGA thinks he’s a brilliant negotiator? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
