Every state’s Secretary of State needs to tell us whether they intend to follow Trump’s new vote by mail rules for the midterms.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 7d agoShe does not, however, block states from *voluntarily* participating in the new rule. Why? Because states get to decide how they run their elections. END/
Having had a child who died at 36 hours old this is offensive.
The Washington Sun@washingtonsun.bsky.social · 7d agoHHS is canceling infant mortality and postpartum grants to focus instead on research related to what the department says are “root causes” like sperm counts and erectile dysfunction. https://www.notus.org/health-science/hhs-cancels-infant-mortality-postpartum-grants-focus-infertility
#dialectquiz Grew up Ohio and Nj and overseas and live in SC last 25 years so Virginia? I guess because it’s the average, which in the spirit of the quiz I’ll call the mean
Not to be THAT scold but, Laura Loomer has been wrong about people's immigration status before and there's abundant evidence people close to Trump have used their access to use ICE to torment people they hate.
DHS has claimed that children detained with their parents can be released to a safe family member, but Liam’s mother lives in Austin and is ready to take him, and ICE is still refusing to release him to her. It really feels like they are trying to make an example out of a little kid.
When Justice is blind, bad guys take the fifth. When justice is corrupt, good guys take the fifth. Feel free to share.
Republican members of Congress—all of whom have sworn loyalty to a man, Trump, who scientific journals confirm caused at least 400,000 needless deaths during the pandemic—are today calling for prison for a man who *saved* millions of lives in the same period. A *disgusting* day.
SO FRUSTRATING to deal with BCBS. Since February I’ve been trying to get an insurance issue fixed. So they offer a fix for ONLY 2 days. So now I have to go to my congressman. Now they’re trying to say my shoulder surgery was due to an accident when it wasn’t. How many forms, phone calls required?
Update: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is calling on Sen. Mitch McConnell to “directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign.” Thank you, Governor Beshear!
A growing body of evidence links time in nature to better physical and mental health – and a major new effort is working to document exactly what that evidence shows. 🧪🌿🌱 yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/07/the-...

Someone used A.I. to write my biography. Thousands more of those books are polluting Amazon. Who is behind all this drivel?

I chose to live. And once you make that choice, a strange kind of mutation happens. The fear just evaporates. What could anyone possibly say or do to me that hasn't already been done? When you survive your own absolute destruction, you lose the ability to be afraid.
I have no political aspirations. I'm not running for anything. But I do have a triple PhD in addiction and recovery. If you are stuck in the wreckage of your own shame, thinking you're too far gone to be loved: you are not alone. Reclaiming your narrative starts the moment you refuse to hide.
Literally ignoring —violating—what Congress has the constitutional right and duty to do.
Josh Chafetz@joshchafetz.bsky.social · 2mo agoVery important piece by Cerin Lindgrensavage and @davidasuper.bsky.social. This behavior by the administration is not only illegal, it is anti-constitutional. thehill.com/opinion/cong...
According to a new ACLU report, 782 protesters, journalists, elected officials, clergy, and community observers; 214 children (including 32 U.S. citizens); and 155 U.S. citizens were documented as being detained, targeted, or subjected to misconduct by ICE agents.
I visited the small town of Marfa, TX. A local mariachi band greeted us with a song they wrote for our campaign! Our Frontera Tour has been full of special moments — but this was a highlight. 🎶

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

More examples of victim blaming I’ve seen today: “Where has she been?” “The timing is suspicious” “But she had consensual sex with him before” “Why didn’t she call the cops?” STOP IT
Xitter's community notes are working overtime calling out people trying to claim Mamdani's attempts to conserve power is socialist. This one might be my favorite.
Trump’s net worth has almost tripled since he’s been back in office. He rugged his crypto followers for over $500 million. Over $1.4 billion in total crypto profit. Financial corruption hawks on the right, where you at?
