Read the whole poem … a gift. They gave everything. The least I can do is remember. I remember. I must remember. I must always remember. The author, William H. McRaven is a retired naval officer. www.theatlantic.com/books/archiv...

As if we aren't already screwed by the decimation of the Federal Government, especially in Science, now we have an apocalypse at our door. Good time to become a Vegan..#GiftLink www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

From COURIER DFW: " ... Texas [could] have the first law in the country that criminalizes women who end their pregnancies, and allows them to be sentenced to jail."

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

Even if his veto is overridden by the Legislature, he will claim cutting school funding with a line item veto is responsible. No one who proposes a $1.5 billion to $2 billion deficit, as Dunleavy did this year, is responsible. #akleg #aknews www.dermotcole.com/reportingfro...

Do you ever think about the great things America could do if we focused our energy on common good rather than corporate greed?

Rep. Miller-Meeks won her seat by 800 votes. She's stealing health care from 67,000 of her constituents.

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.

You can tell that the One Big Beautiful Bill* is truly beautiful because they’re holding the hearing after midnight * Yes, that’s actually the name

This is how I will feel when this is truly understood!

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

Watch out for videos of Jasmine Crocket, or other public figures, being shared from you tube account "DP Insights". It is spreading misinformation, since entire episodes are fictionalized.

A Georgia mother is being forced to keep her brain-dead daughter alive because she’s pregnant and Georgia’s abortion laws are archaic. They’re forcing the family to pay to keep this woman alive — with an unviable baby — against their will. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 63 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Let me make this simple: 1) People have been fired - our economy & governmental services have been interrupted because of the firings. 2) The proposed budget includes - cuts to federal worker’s benefits, cuts to Medicaid, cuts to food assistance, & deep tax cuts for the RICH,

The MontCo PA Visibility Brigade was at it again over Rt. 422 this morning! @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @repdean.bsky.social

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

I hope every Pride parade in the country happens at the same time as Donold’s military one.

Where is Abrego Garcia? When does he and every other abducted person receive their due process???

Why has Kid Rock not been arrested for obstructing ICE arrests after his restaurant sent undocumented workers home last week so they wouldn’t be swept up in an ICE raid, but Judge Dugan directing a man through a different door is a federal offense?

ecological catastrophe in florida but no worries they are focusing on the real threats: fluoridated water project.tampabay.com/investigatio...

I remember the last time the Saudis sent us a plane

Racial harassment has no place in Catholic schools: The Principal of the Madeleine School in Portland, OR recently called the police on a Black family and expelled their son for seeking an apology. Let's support this family and demand accountability. act.faithfulamerica.org/petition/fir...

BREAKING: Moody’s has DOWNGRADED the United States’ credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 — the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade in the agency’s history. “We do not believe that material multi-year reductions in mandatory spending and deficits will result from current fiscal proposals under consideration.”

When will voters ever learn that the GOP is not the fiscally responsible party?

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3

Congratulations, Bruce Hilpert, on your excellent Letter to the Editor in today's Arizona Daily Star!!

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have.

Time to prepare, beloveds. If you are considering stocking up, remember that these pills do expire eventually, and *do not* discuss your actions online or via unencrypted communication. Take no shit, and leave no trace. www.plancpills.org

We collected well over 180,000 signatures to put it on the ballot. It passed by 57%. These assholes don’t care about us. STOP VOTING FOR THEM.

After another day of GOP-fueled chaos, cleanse your palate with a laugh. Stephen Colbert just *obliterated* Donny 2 Dolls—and it’s comedy perfection. Because if we don’t laugh at this mess, we might cry (or throw things). 🍿😂 @colbertlateshow.bsky.social
