@annearbor.bsky.social I'm a discouraged Dem as well. Things suck. I've never been to Ireland, but my sister and -in-law are in Dublin and the pics have been awesome. They're headed to somewhere near Shannon next, I think. His ancestors are from Doon, County Limerick.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "This big beautiful economy that actually was rolling pretty good with jobs and inflation coming down feels more like the Game of Thrones red wedding. I mean, it's not going well."

@stephruhle.bsky.socialHello - new to this platform still. Re the guy I just saw, I don't think Americans care about the 1800s ex Lincoln and the ultimate rise of Roosevelt. So need to explain, I think. (I myself love learning about those presidents.)

@ruthmarcus.bsky.social I know today had to be hard, but we're all so proud of you for standing up to Bezos and Lewis. Someone has to stand up for something in this crazy time.
