Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.
Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social you can lie all you want. Voters know the TRUTH and will vote accordingly.😎
Howard Zinn once spoke to my Framingham High students (I also had the privilege of having coffee at a Dunkin' Donuts with him beforehand). Important words from Dave Zirin on what his advice would be for us today (remember him saying very similar things back then). www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 2w ago“Trump has opened a new front in his campaign to intimidate political foes, threatening a prominent think tank with a $5 billion defamation lawsuit over a report concluding that his deployment of the National Guard to cities has had little effect on violent crime.”
I had a professor who once said the secret to understanding how everything works is to "follow the money." American politics today...and the age of corruption in which we live...demonstrates how right he was. My latest. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/follow-the...
Follow the Money
From Trump to El Sayed, the message is clear, the coming election is about who sets the rules in our society, who benefits and who loses

Uruguay, with 3.5 million people, generates 98% of its electricity from renewable sources. The architect of that transformation, Ramón Méndez Galain, put it simply: "The key is not technology; it is institutions. Once the rules are fair and predictable, the system builds itself."

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

Yep. @polphilpod.bsky.social and I made this point in this essay on Elon Musk's real fascist worldview, which all of you should read if you haven't yet, because (we immodestly insist) it breaks new ground. Also see the interview with one of the authors of "Muskism." newrepublic.com/article/2119...
Jacob T. Levy@jacobtlevy.bsky.social · 2mo agoYou don't engage in that kind of ethnic cleansing through peaceful and lawful individuated assessments. If you even aspire to that level of population transfer, you expect things like mass detention facilities and the transformation of ICE into a terrorist paramilitary.
Trump and his Republicans got those Americans killed in an unnecessary and illegal war. Every single republican must be voted out of office for not stopping a mentally deranged president. NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN.
