Retired medical librarian, lifelong blue dot in a distressingly red state. Now that the US is apparently Alabama, I suppose I shouldn't feel lonely... #angret
Today, the Senate received a briefing on the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Sudan. Here's the bottom line: We can & must do more to stop this. This war has already killed over 150,000 people & displaced over 14 MILLION. We must act NOW.
A disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.
I'm sorry if you disagree with me but … #BirthControl is an extremely critical part of care for women. Hormonal birth control (Depo, the ‘pill’, etc.) is used by many women to regulate their menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand reproductive biology should STFU. #HerBodyHerChoice
“Gustavo” is harvesting mangoes in Coachella, CA. “This is very hard work. We start before dawn, but temps are already near 100° while we’re working. It’s physical labor, and it’s hard to do in this kind of heat.” Today’s high in Coachella is forecast to reach 109°. #WeFeedYou
No amateur sports program is worth sexually abusing children to prove their gender
Hey Americans we can win back both the house and senate if we vote.

America is now seeing the destructive consequences of twice electing a spoiled brat
Less authoritarian politics, more prepubescent politics, but with the same results.

Ohio Rep. Max Miller stands accused of abusing both his daughter and his ex-wife, and no Republican can be bothered to care about it. Preznit Fuckwit even took his side! thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I explain just how much the GOP fucking sucks. link is here: bit.ly/4fEDGZV
Jones...noted that despite his criticisms of the program, Tuberville himself has received $93,000 in Social Security benefits over the past three years. www.alreporter.com/2026/08/04/j... #Alabama #DougJones #Tuberville #SocialSecurity
Jones slams Tuberville for calling Social Security a "scam"
The Democratic candidate highlighted Tuberville’s own benefits and past fraud-linked business dealings.

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
Jay Kuo: "These small cases, it turns out, are where corruption and lawlessness are easiest to spot. And they can teach the public much about what’s going on beneath it all." - The Small Cases Tell a Bigger Story thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/the-small-... #DOJ #Pirro @nycjayjay.bsky.social
The Small Cases Tell a Bigger Story
It’s a mistake to dismiss Trump’s weaponization of the DOJ even over the small matters

@democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social we need immediate action on the poor conditions in the military. Reports today that our soldiers are getting only a cup of rice and a tortilla - to eat in a single day. This is absolutely abhorrent. Hegseth should be sitting in front of Congress now!

There’s another important story getting buried in the brouhaha over a “national ban.” On the call, Blanche said the DOJ is putting policies in place so “prosecutors will no longer be able to use the FACE Act” to go after clinic attackers—even after Trump leaves the White House
Jessica Valenti@jessicavalenti.bsky.social · 11h agoI was so pissed last night, watching viral videos claim that Blanche promised to pass a national abortion ban. That's not true, and it's not helpful. Because what he actually said is super dangerous, but getting buried
Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
According to our own constitution, we should have overthrown the government by now.
The biggest cost Trump is imposing on us is the cost of doing nothing about three worsening crises that threaten the very survival of America and the world: climate change, AI, and widening inequality.
The Biggest Cost of Trump
It goes far beyond guns vs. butter

Never forget: republicans not only sold their souls, they sold out the country, the rule of law and your freedom. It’s their job to rein him in. They chose not to.
I prefer presidents who don’t have their accounts closed over money laundering concerns.
It’s surreal watching the Trump Crime Syndicate dismantle every aspect of our Government The capitulation of so many for greed and power is pathetic Trump has corrupted every agency every beaucratic norm and the Republican Party has endorsed this complete corrupt makeover of our democracy
