BREAKING: James Talarico challenges Ken Paxton to three televised debates. “Ken Paxton’s handlers claim he’s willing to debate, but every time a reporter asks a question, he literally runs away. We’ll see if Ken Paxton has the courage to show up, or if he’ll run away like usual.”

For God’s sake, be economical with your lamps and candles! not a gallon you burn, but at least one drop of man’s blood was spilled for it.

My brother and I played "sapo verde" as children in South America. You score points by pitching heavy bronze coins into the frog's mouth or into other openings on the table. I was thrilled to see this version in Hontanas, Spain along the Camino de Santiago.

Report of early morning egging of 5 Sarria-area albergues (pilgrim hostels) along the Camino de Santiago. Piece notes that other kinds of vandalism are also happening, but I wonder if these attacks reflect local anti-pilgrim sentiment. #CaminodeSantiago

"A pedestrian collided with a police motorcycle..." raises questions. How fast was the pedestrian walking? Did he/she have a license to walk? Was she/he distracted or impaired? We can't just allow pedestrians to go around colliding with vehicles like this. They must be stopped. s/

Happy belated 100th birthday to Allen Ginsberg. June 3rd 1926.

12 June 1929 | A German Jewish girl, Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt. In 1942, on her 13th birthday, she received an empty diary. She perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. 'Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character & goodness.' (A.Frank)

No legitimate law enforcement operation needs terror, excessive force, or anonymity. Decent human beings avoid traumatizing children. @govwesmoore.bsky.social, please use all tools available to the State of Maryland to stop this barbaric behavior by ICE.

What I saw on video this morning at Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle School is deeply disturbing.

Visited the Nazi concentration and extermination camps at Auschwitz/Birkenau in Poland yesterday and I've come to tell you that we in the US are well on our way to recreating this at "Alligator Alcatraz," etc. unless we stop and reverse course at once. "Never again" means not even once again.
