I haven’t seen this mentioned yet: Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has a bilingual English-Spanish option. She supported the literacy of young Spanish-language readers at a time when Spanish and Spanish-speakers were increasingly being demonized in politics. imaginationlibrary.com/bilingual-pr...
To protect himself and distract from his disastrous meeting with Kushner, Jeffries, a DEMOCRATIC LEADER, is on CNN today attacking, wait for it, Hasan Piker, which in turn is being used by Republicans to go after El-Sayed. I'm telling you they will gladly lose Michigan for their donors.

When an illegitimate SCOTUS allows a criminal President to destroy the integrity of elections, that’s not just a problem - that’s a coup
Forcing people to live in power outages in 100+ degree weather for days while feeding energy to data centers is a form of political violence.
remember: its not a data center its a surveillance data processing complex
He really is. And it’s going to get worse. Working parents are going to have a hard time scheduling five separate appointments to get their child fully vaccinated. Used to be one visit. And there’s no evidence at all that this will somehow improve outcomes. Total bullshit.
Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
Dolly Parton with Keith Haring in 1985, incredible woman and supporter of LGBTQ people for decades going back to a time when few others dared.
Every progressive gets chased around about their relationship to Hasan Piker. Has ONE reporter ever asked JD Vance about his embrace of the insane and anti-democratic ideas of Curtis Yarvin? Or about his relationship with democracy-hater Peter Thiel? The imbalance is stark.

The U.S. Postal Service has issued a “final order” aimed at restricting mail-in voting…👇 Under the new rule, the Postal Service says it would deliver mail-in and absentee ballots only to states that provide voter information to the Trump administration. Mad yet?!
EXCLUSIVE: The FBI just admitted it has over an hour of Epstein Files redaction training videos, and the FBI ignored my lawyer's directions for what to search for then hid it from us for 8 months. I'll tell you what they said today at NOON PT. Here's a link: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...
EXCLUSIVE: FBI Admits it has Over an Hour of Epstein Redaction Training Videos
Despite there being no exemption in the Epstein Files Transparency Act to withhold these training materials, the FBI refuses to hand them over, and they waited 8 months to tell us.

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.
Trump has destroyed US credibility to the point that no one can make a deal with America even if they think the terms sound good, because they can’t trust the US to honor it. The U.S.-Canada trade arrangement Trump now claims is unacceptable was the one he negotiated and signed in his first term.
Andrew Sabl@andysabl.bsky.social · 3d agoFull text of Mark Carney’s speech yesterday. Here’s a line that few are reporting but that seems crucial: because the US no longer can make—or wants to make—credible commitments, it’s kneecapped its own ability to reach agreements. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/spee...
![Our government understood, before many, that America would transform all its commercial relationships. That it would put a series of tariffs on its closest allies and use
economic integration as a weapon. That its signature was

The 60 largest planned data centers could produce the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as 27 coal plants. Big Tech CEOs are polluting our planet and selling out our future to line their own pockets. We need a data center moratorium — now.
There are so many reasons to not shop Amazon if you can help it, but it turns my stomach whenever I see authors advertising Amazon and Audible sales. Stop feeding the thing that’s eating us. Fuck Amazon. Get your books indie or from libraries.
404 Media@404media.co · last wk.SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:
Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.
Oh nothing. Just @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social the leader of our party in the house spreading right wing talking points. We need new leadership yesterday.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.WELKER: Do democratic socialists belong in the Dem Party?

We're focused on actually solving the problems hard-working American taxpayer want us to solve ...
Ice says that these electric gloves are meant to "maintain compliance." Slave owners used to say the same thing about whips. If using shock collars on dogs is Animal Cruelty and Abuse, how is it fine for ICE to use Shock Gloves on people?
8 Big Oil corporations raked in $93 BILLION in just 3 months. They blamed "war" for sending the prices soaring. Meanwhile they were cashing in record profits. This is what RIGGED looks like.
Where is genocidal intent proven? Start here. In October '23 Netanyahu invoked Amalek, the enemy the Bible commands be wiped out entirely, down to its children. South Africa cited it at the ICJ as evidence of intent. He reached for the one story that commands exterminating a people. Then it happened
