I swear, i wasn't prepared for how susceptible literally everyone would be to conspiracy theories as an adult.

Why hasn't the 1 call to free Abrego-Garcia happened? Either A) He can't: Mr. "art of the deal" actually can't deliver even with ALL the leverage, or B) He won't: to look "strong" Whether it's a) impotence or b) petulance, both endanger all domestically & internationally, citizens & visitors.

What Senator Booker is doing is historic. And important. Oher Democrats have joined in. www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

"Hope" This is my 2nd standalone embroidery. No pattern, just freehanding what was originally just something to practice new-to-me stitches, and it took on a life of its own. This is my peaceful place among the stressors. #handembroidery #embroidery

Heh.

That reporter really looked at the president of a country being battered by an invading force and asked “but what was he wearing”

HEY EVERYONE! I am campaigning now to run in 2026 for the U.S. House of Representatives for Florida District 15. If you would like to join or help me with this fight, please visit my website, www.PeopleForCongress.com, donate whatever you can and let's make this happen. We can do this. We HAVE to.

It's traditions like today that bring together all our branches of government to stand in respect of each other - that underpins the guardrails of our democracy. The only power that the Constitution truly recognizes is power that's capable of humbling itself before our people.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I know this is cheesy, but I’m going to say it anyway: Don’t forget to show up for yourself. For awhile I stopped doing my long weekend runs and I’ve been back at it for several weeks and it makes all the difference. Whatever your thing is, don’t stop doing it!

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Here is a good someone running against Lee (R) to flip the seat in Congress in FL-15

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

Kendrick’s American flag motif at THIS MOMENT is subversive. Yes, yes, yes.

A timeline palate cleanser. Behold, Eddie.

"The United States is in a constitutional crisis" Agree: 54% Disagree: 27% Unsure: 19% YouGov / Feb 6, 2025 / n=1106

This one is probably my favorite of the bunch

Again, why are these so good?

“People will get sick. And, especially in cases like congenital syphilis where you cannot lose a day to treat, babies will die.” The appalling human cost of this insane exercise in gender censorship mustn’t be forgotten. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-std...

Bukele called himself the "world's coolest dictator." If I were a peacock, all my ass eyes would be rolling at that if this wasn't so deeply heinous, and potentially another human rights violation to add to his collection.

@markpmckenna.bsky.social can also be contacted. For those of you who know me personally, you know I don’t say it lightly when I say this is legal mind I trust. Mark M. has also long proven himself to be a good human being.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

So Justin Trudeau is now saying the tariffs have been paused for 30 days as they implement a new border plan. Basically, after the markets freaked, Trump backed off of the threats while Mexico and Canada essentially promised to do things that they were already doing.

Relatable.

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

Today is Holocaust awareness and remembrance day. I am not Jewish, I am a human being who will stand up to any atrocity against humanity. I remember the millions of Jews who were murdered driven by a mad man. We are in similar times. We need to stand up. #NeverForget

Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity Trump: Trade war! Colombia: OK Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights Colombia: Good. Was that so hard? Trump: They gave in!

NEWS After President Petro of Colombia denied entry of two US repatriation flights of Colombian migrants, President Trump has announced these retaliatory measures. Petro said he wouldn’t allow the flights in until Trump establishes a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants.

This block button is getting a workout.

Who gets the benefit of the doubt?A teenager tagged by cops as a gang member b/c he shops at a particular bodega or wears the wrong color? A Black man the NYPD decides is “furtively walking”? OR a white man from apartheid S.A. who posts antisemitic/racist stereotypes & endorses the Nazi adjacent 1/

This is worth the read. Seriously.
