The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money…

Agree! It’s time to unite!

I'd much rather be scammed by some poor mom trying to feed her kids than the richest man in the world trying to add to his own wealth, but maybe I'm a sap.

This is a national security emergency.

Just wow.

"I voted to launch the nukes but nobody voted to vaporize everyone in the city."

There's a strong competition for "biggest disappointment in Democratic politics" but Polis is really making a run for it

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law. I don’t serve a king.

If you want to understand why this country is in the state it’s in, and why we have no real functioning opposition party, consider this: Rubio has been the most dangerous and dictatorial member of the Trump cabinet. And yet every single Senate Democrat voted Yes to confirm him.

E Pluribus Unum. “Out of many, one.” Public education is a core part of what makes us ONE country, indivisible, pledged to the goal of liberty and justice for all. Draining its budget for private schools is pure Jim Crow. Stop the Republican attack on our schools. #HandsOffPublicSchools

Definitely going to make housing more affordable.

unions: they get the job done

every word in this sentence takes you in a new direction

That actually kind of raises more concerns, in my book.

We're suing the Trump administration over its politically-motivated termination of research grants that has already harmed scientists and our communities. Political ideology shouldn't dictate public health.

“Many of us have fought and bled for our cases to be there,” said former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb. “This library holds our past, our present and our future. This has our history about who we are and what we are about.” // Story by @thenoellephillips.bsky.social

I will never polish a turd. That’s The Handbasket Promise™️.

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always 

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Jeffrey Dahmer is literally one of the most popular people in history. 89% of Americans say they like to eat red meat. But they put him in jail? I can’t believe this.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

U-Haul's slogan is “Moving Made Easier” but it’s turning into “Hate on the Move.” Hey @UHaul.com — you better figure out how to stop renting trucks to Patriot Front, or you’re going to be known as the official moving van of white supremacists.

"Signing a letter isn't enough...😭" Yeah, ya muffin. That's why we have a whole Summer Fight for Science! @standupforscience.bsky.social Go host a teach-in! www.standupforscience.net/summer-fight...

Be on alert as it is likely that he has already been rehired.

Learning that the Dems are spending tens of millions of dollars to understand how to post successfully online doesn’t make me particularly optimistic for the future. Case in point: my friends and I learned how to do that for free when we were children

Americans think nothing bad will ever happen to them when something new and horrible happens to them every single day in the form of executive orders, court rulings, and laws passed.

nobody in the press cares that the president shows up in oval office and says what executive orders am i signing today because he doesn’t know anything and people explain it to him and he says oh that’s dope and signs it. this is insane. do none of you see this is insane.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

This is such a bizarre headline for something as simple as “Costco locations close for Memorial Day”

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

A thing about growing up poor, or even middle class in America, is that there comes a time when you look back on bad memories or traumatic experiences you saw and realize how many of them had something to do with a lack of money

When signing up, be sure to choose the “Audit” option for the free class. You won’t get credit, but you’ll learn so many cool things about our government! Think of it as a history and civics redo. 👍

lol I just got momentarily hysterical thinking about the fact that the New York Times got its managing director for communications to confirm on a Saturday that it is standing by its reporting that young women in China have tiny hands and this is why Apple has its factories there

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

They say home is where the heart is but in Alabama it’s where the transmission fell out.
