Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.

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…

Good morning Bluesky ☀️ My grandad told me he saw the Titanic - from the outset he warned all the people that the ship would sink, but nobody listened to him. He knew he was right and didn't give up. He warned them again & again, until eventually they kicked him out of the cinema.

The Titanic sinking under a moonlit sky.

Half way through the week-- hang in there! Maybe grab some coffee and chill out to some jazz standards before hitting the news. Join me every day here on Bluesky for more music 🎹 Stardust - Hoagy Carmichael ✨

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

As Petra M. posted earlier, the oceans are necessary for life on Earth. If the oceans die, life dies if it can't adapt. The speed of change is important, but so is the fact that Whales, who cannot survive without the oceans, have been around for 50m yrs. Humans have only been a species for 6m yrs.

Absolutely! Civilized history is littered w/tyrants & mobs that attack the populace & its institutions; then walk away into the sunset and disappear into the darkness. These evil actors are then free to repeat their destruction over & over again. We witness this, but don’t remember it!
