History always has a lesson.

I would love to read this book from @maklelan.bsky.social. I am not particularly religious, but my dad has joined my mom in regular worship at the church where I grew up. Dan's facts-based presentation of the Bible has helped me in expanding my knowledge while being respectful of my parents' beliefs

Staggering potential for abuse here. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.  You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices. This a fire sale for the oligarchy. How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

And loving America means fighting to make it better.

There seems to be more technical issues reporting tonight's tornado outbreak. @altnoaa.bsky.social or other weather folks, is this a result of the cutbacks, or is this just an unusual situation?

“I’ll be 10 min late sorry!!!” -ashamed -fragile -unreliable “A thousand apologies. The relentless slog of time has overtaken my faculties.” -powerful -commanding -honest

Narrator: "It did not make them rich."

Wooooooooboyyyyy!!!! Democratic House Rep. Stephen Lynch goes off in the hearing on cybersecurity about the breaches by Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Waltz, etc. "I am offended!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is what happens when people speak up.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

We needed eloquent leadership and fight. We got that today from Booker.

Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

Sen. Booker just quoted the Langston Hughes poem "Let America Be America Again" "America never was America to me, And yet I swear this oath— America will be!" poets.org/poem/let-ame...

This!!!!!

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

"I yield for a question while retaining the floor," is how I am going to respond to my husband every time he wants to interrupt me in a conversation. Thanks, @booker.senate.gov

Senator Booker has been nothing short of phenomenal. @booker.senate.gov has brought the binders, the receipts, and almost a day's worth of relevant topics on exactly how this administration is harming Americans.

Every time an authoritarian con-artist is held accountable, every time the mask slips in a courtroom, the spell weakens. It takes pressure. It takes a public that doesn't flinch when the volume gets turned up. It takes faith - not in the perfection of institutions, but in their potential.

my day? made

See how it’s done, America? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

No lies told here.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.
