A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙

An #IceAge masterpiece: This small carving (4.7cm) of a water #bird was made from mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago. It's thought to be a #diver, #cormorant, or #duck. Found in the Hohle Fels cave on the Swabian Jura. It's the oldest known representation of a bird. 🧵1/2

"It's a big, gigantic, blown-up Ponzi scheme." THAT is what a Senate Republican said on the floor just yesterday. At a time when Social Security is facing insolvency, we need to fight to SAVE Social Security now and for future generations. NO cuts, NO privatization.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood 70°F light wind, not bad at all. There's gridlock at Grand Prismatic but that's the only traffic I noticed. Tatonka
Night night sweet dreamies If today asked a little too much of you, don’t measure yourself by what you couldn’t do. Measure yourself by the courage it took to keep going.
Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
Pro tip: adopt them as a pair. They’ll keep each other much more exercised & entertained than a human could do on their own, and adopting siblings is muuuuuuuuch easier than trying to introduce a new cat later.
Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w agoA friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?
