Ken Paxton is one of the worst possible candidates I can imagine. Texas, do not elect this guy.

Doing the best I can with what I have. A patriotic American who loves her country. Writer of sci-fi, history and other things.
The orange felon’s nephew Fred trump was so offended by his vile uncle’s disgusting 9/11 lies that he is openly condemning him. Those of us who remember that dreadful day remember him bragging about his trashy tower in NYC being the tallest soon after the twin towers collapsed. I hate him.
Meet Cadence. She might be little, but she has a BIG year ahead of her as she starts 2-K this week. Read the full storybook: nyc.gov/storytime
An utterly horrific day that will forever burn in my memory. The heroism shown that day was incredible.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · yesterdayToday, I had the honor of meeting members of the Emergency Service Unit, the most elite tactical team in the NYPD. ESU is called to protect New Yorkers during our gravest emergencies.
This lying piece of shit claims he was at point zero 9/11. Lies, after lies, after lies. Some of you voted for this lying buffoon. Is this what you wanted? Be honest, if you can. He disgusts me. 
Sen. @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social understands the stakes. Mike Rogers moved to Florida and got rich off the corporations he was supposed to be regulating while in Congress. Now he expects us to let him take another turn through the revolving door.
During one of our nation’s greatest tragedies, Trump of course makes it about him and no one questions it…or his sanity.
Bryan Behar@bryanbehar.bsky.social · yesterdayCould you imagine anyone else in the history of history, let alone the President of the United States, so blatantly defiling the memory of our fallen brethren? What a terrible, broken person.
IMPOSSIBLE. He's been a perpetual, non-stop source of embarrassment to all decent humans since he first rode down that escalator to declare all Mexicans criminals, drug dealers & rapists. He's the worst thing to happen to our country, EVER.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3d agoThey’re begging people to go at this point.
Good. As one who lived in NYC during this horrible day, and know people who were on the pile and have gotten sick in their response to the attacks, it’s about time.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2d agoFor years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

George is part of a legacy! “Star Trek” launched a show that was DEI well before its time.
George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social · 2d agoSixty years ago today, the starship Enterprise launched and with it, a vision of the future where humanity had moved beyond its divisions. I was there at the beginning, and I can tell you...
This is pretty much an emergency!
Philip Bump@pbump.com · yesterdayget in, kids, we’re doing a PROHIBITION
This was the video I was looking for yesterday to post. I follow Joshua Wright on instagram because we are both passionate about saving old trees. This was an ancient forest valley that was recently logged on Vancouver Island. They cut down one of the largest Yellow Cedar tree in Canada. 😢
Over and over, 3M scientist Kris Hansen found PFOS, a chemical her company made, in people’s blood. Her bosses doubted her work: How could it be everywhere? Finally, she found one batch of blood samples without PFOS — but with it came a devastating revelation. Full episode: propub.li/4gVmPRQ
This needs to be made more of an issue.
tomwellborn3rd@wellborn.net · 2d agoTarrant County cut 92 polling places in a county that is 60 percent nonwhite, and the coverage will be a human interest piece about a patient voter in a folding chair. Long lines are not a turnout story. They are a budget decision someone made on purpose.
Geez…and he gets free healthcare too…

Hmmm….🤔 Speaking of charlatans…wouldn’t it be accurate to say it take one to know one?
More than 11,000 people have been sickened in a Cyclospora outbreak linked to lettuce. Meanwhile, FDA inspections of foreign food facilities have fallen nearly 35% since 2019. Public health work is often invisible...until it isn’t. Cuts have consequences.
Cyclospora outbreak followed years of declining FDA foreign inspections
The ongoing outbreak of cyclospora tied to iceberg lettuce has raised new concerns about the safety of imported produce — and underscores a worrisome trend: The U.S. is conducting fewer inspections to catch contaminated food.

Exactly. Count me in as one of those radical leftists, because I’m for upholding the law…and democracy.
Nothingofwater@nothingofwater.bsky.social · 3d agoNot just breaking the law, but bragging about it openly. 86 47. Time for him to GO.
I wonder how many of those signatures came from actual New Yorkers. Citizens of that fine city voted for him, and he’s doing exactly what he said he would do. Why is that frightening to the GOP? Is it because they are incapable of the same thing? Actually showing leadership?
Forbes@forbes.com · 2d agoThe New York City Mayor has said he will be present at the ceremony and wants the focus to be on the families who lost their loved ones to "the horrific act of terror."
Good.
Resister Sister Nicki Hates tRump for Free@worldtraveldiva.bsky.social · 2d agoAfter multiple matches were disrupted by “influencer“ douchebags using spectator areas as content creation spaces, I was happy to read that Wimbledon will not be credentialing influencers and plans to confiscate ring lights and other items that can disrupt play. 👍🎾 www.dailymail.com/sport/tennis...
Then let’s give Giuliani a little reminder. What’s so sad about this is he really showed leadership during this crisis and now he’s barely a shadow of his former self. All to win Trump’s favor…which Trump never returned.
Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 2d ago“Don’t tell me that you remember Sept. 11, 2001. I remember Sept. 11, 2001. But I heard her say she was there that day. I was there that day. I don’t remember seeing Hillary Clinton there.” - Rudy Giuliani
Looks like a great read! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy.
Scarlet Ingstad@scarlet-ingstad.bsky.social · 3d agoCOMPLETE!!!! Finished the rough draft of the Reclaiming 1776 Project and sent it off to the editors.
