#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Happy Thursday, my friends! It’s Friday Eve! 🎉 Just some things on my to-do list. What would you add?

I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. #Pinks

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

The Lord’s Prayer in Gullah.

Sen. Hickenlooper, Rep. Neguse and other public lands advocates in Colorado on Wednesday called on Congress and President Trump to reverse the cuts and maintain protections for the country’s public lands. By @lindseytoomer.bsky.social

Please take a moment to read and share Call your Congressional representatives 202 224-3121 Ask them Why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities? This must be addressed No DUE PROCESS No EXPLANATION @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Retiring US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger tells @CBSMornings - the pardons of 1500+ Capitol rioters were a "slap in the face" to police and his department =====>

Today’s decision by the courts is another step forward in holding the federal government accountable for the illegal and harmful sweeping authority vested in DOGE in direct and plain violation of the U.S. Constitution. thehill.com/regulation/c...

Bono on Springsteen vs. Trump. There’s only one BOSS in America. It’s not Trump. To be included in the company of Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé, and Oprah, I’d play the tambourine in their band. Bono is a HERO with the rest who resist! 💙

A few thoughts about Walgreens refusal to give me a COVID booster today because of the new rules, I am not 65 nor am I immunocompromised so they said tough, no vaccine for you. First, I am damned angry, the chicken-shit pharmacist wouldn't even talk to me, no eye contact either. Coward. /1

1000% this

He stood before heroes— and honored only himself.

A prepared non-statement from Jeff Hurd CO-03. Keep up the pressure, call him out and vote his ass out of office. He lied again.

This.

BREAKING: NPR and three Colorado public radio stations are suing the Trump administration over the president's executive order seeking to ban the use of federal money for NPR and PBS.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

I am grateful for past presidents who honored our fallen soldiers with dignity and grace. Regardless of their political party affiliation, they upheld the solemn protocol that unites us in remembrance. Here’s to hoping we can return to that standard of decency and leadership someday.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

it’s good to see there’s still some political will to bring garcia home

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift

Scott Pelley—American author and reporter for CBS News for more than 31 years, did not hold back

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Today, we give thanks and pay respect to the Americans who sacrificed so much for our country. Remember them by protecting the freedoms they gave their lives to secure. #MemorialDay

Five years ago, the murder of George Floyd ignited a nationwide call for change. Today, we honor his memory as we continue to fight for justice. George Floyd’s life mattered. Black lives matter.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Russian strikes are becoming more and more audacious and large-scale every night. 900 strike drones against Ukraine in three days, plus missiles - this makes no military sense, but it is a clear political choice - Putin's choice - the choice to continue fighting and destroying lives.

Charles Rangel. 1930 - 2024. He was a war hero. The trailblazing first Black Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. A founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus. America has lost an institution of change, and I have lost a dear friend. Rest in peace, Charlie.

Jeff Hurd & Gabe Evans this is on you - ( boebert too)

On Memorial Day, we honor members of the military who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their devotion and service to American democracy. We will never forget their service and will honor them by following them in their constitutional patriotism however and whenever we can.

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our nation. We owe these heroes and their loved ones everything, and we will always remember what they have done to protect our freedom.

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave everything in service to this country. As we pause to reflect, let’s remember: the best way to honor the fallen is to stand up for the living—by ensuring our veterans & their families get the care, respect, & resources they need to thrive.

Today, we honor the service members who gave their lives for this country. We’ll be posting less so our team, and all of you, can take time to reflect, remember, and spend the day with loved ones. We’ll only post if truly needed.

Classy as expected. You know what? He can wallow in his victimhood and misery. How about the rest of us go just enjoy the day and honor our fallen.

The responsibility for religious education belongs to families, houses of worship, and other religious institutions — not the government. That is why as people of faith we oppose the Ten Commandments in our public schools.
