📌"New and creative" idea: Remove the incompetent Commander in Chief from office.
Karly Kingsley@karlykingsley.bsky.social · 2d agoSenior US military officials are reportedly crowdsourcing ideas over email on “how to deal with Iran” while admitting they need to “reevaluate their strategy.” If your war plan starts with a brainstorming session, you’ve already lost. This is embarrassing and dangerous.
Henrietta Swan Leavitt was one of the “Harvard Computers.” In the early 1900s, she discovered the relationship between the brightness and period of Cepheid variable stars. Her discovery gave astronomers a way to measure distances to galaxies and changed our understanding of the universe. #SheShed
Another reminder to Kansas voters to VOTE NO on this Tuesday's referendum to directly elect State Supreme Court Justices - instead of the current Gov appointment process - which would undeniably shift the court to the right and ban abortion access in the state. abcnews.com/US/wireStory...

Happy 65th Birthday, August 4th, to the best President in US History. The black man "they" feared, led with humor, dignity & grace for 8 yrs scandal-free, has a beautiful & accomplished family, and is beloved by millions around the world. @barackobama.bsky.social #BarackObama #ThePeoplesPresident
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
The Trump regime forced Haitian Americans into undocumented status, and is now using that undocumented status as an excuse to force them to wear ankle monitors. It was never about following the law, but about banning Black and brown immigrants while advancing fascism & Christian nationalism.
I was under the impression that presidents were not allowed to do stuff like that....
If you don’t approve of Donald Trump, then you don’t approve of his Republican enablers. Every Republican in the House and Senate votes with Donald Trump over 99% of the time. Show them how you feel about that with your vote in November!
Apple workers could have gotten $4 MILLION each over 8 years. Instead, Apple spent $650 BILLION on stock buybacks. Shareholders got rich. Workers got nothing. This isn't investment. It's theft. Tax the rich.
1/2 "However the Court rules, the fact that we are even here is the ultimate criticism of this administration. Under the Constitution, the choice of elected officials belongs to the people. Donald Trump is deathly afraid of what that means....

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼
"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington
I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

Research shows that humans who adopt their cats from shelters and rescues, rather than buy them from breeders, are 10 times smarter and better looking. The researcher:
Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.
A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

DAVID NIVEN — who died 43yrs ago today — was the only British star in Hollywood to enlist during WW2. When U.S. guards once asked him who’d won the World Series in 1943 Niven replied “Haven’t the foggiest idea, but I did co-star with Ginger Rogers in ‘Bachelor Mother’!”
I too remember those days, and don’t wish to revisit them.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · last wk.I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
Today, Angelenos take to the streets to remember Lorenzo and Johan and demand justice for their lives taken too soon, and ALL those whose lives were taken by ICE and in immigration detention. #ICEOut #JusticeForAll
