I'm old, I'm white, I'm female, and I did not vote for this sh*t. I voted for that brilliant woman of color who should be in the White House. Always an ally. Always. Always a Mom. I believe in people not killing each other, no matter where they live.

When Reality Winner was released early in June 2021, she chose to return to Kingsville—the town that she’d once hoped to leave forever. Winner grew up there with interests in both shooting guns and practicing yoga.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

After long days focused on the facts, our newsroom reads a lot of fiction at home. We asked our NPR colleagues what they've enjoyed reading so far this year. Here's what they told us.

The Walsh Community Grocery Store was resurrected in 2007 with the help of its residents. Seventeen years later, its manager is looking for creative ways to stock the shelves. Easier said than done in a secluded town of 500. coloradosun.com/2025/06/17/w...

My new nickname for the Orange Madman: 2 Week Old TACO

We've been laughing in a tech discord chat for the last 2 days about this phone for 2 reasons. 1. It's a T-Mobile RVVVL phone. You can get it for under 200 bucks & he's charging 500 for it. 2. It's made in China, but marketed as "made in the USA." It's hilariously shameless.

And the grift goes on

I've been saying this since it happened, including the reference to Wag the Dog. If you don't know, it's a film starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro. It came out in 1997. It's the perfect illustration of this administration.

Oh, hahahaaaa! As The Felon “hissy fits” away from Canada in the dark of night (and Iran had nothing to do with it), Zelenskyy got his chair. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 😆😆😆

Once upon a time there was a towering spruce tree in my front yard. Last night it took a direct lightening hit. 🙁

This is happening endless times every damn day here! So f*cking illegal and yet they continue to get away with it. Where the hell is OUR leadership?

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

@bestese34.bsky.social and @jimacosta.bsky.social are my journalistic heroes. We need many more journalists like them, willing to stand up and say the real truth out loud.

Hearing and seeing the Columbus Symphony perform at Ash Cave yesterday was the most incredible and magical concert I’ve ever experienced.

I hope those cops go home tonight and are vilified by their families and neighbors!

ICE is now removing undocumented foster children from their foster homes for deportation! For those of you who are supporting this, there will be a reckoning for this … and for those of you who are sitting silently by while these atrocities are unfolding before our eyes, there will be a reckoning!
