36 years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. This came after decades of advocacy from the Disability Rights movement and changed our country and our City for the better.
Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.
Been saying AOC should run in 2028 since I saw her speak at the DNC in 2024. Every argument against it has echos of the arguments against Obama running in 2008.
Guardian US@us.theguardian.com · 3mo ago"There are other capable progressives weighing a run in 2028," writes @sunraysunray.bsky.social. "However, none of them can do the two things AOC can do at once: run a serious national campaign as one of the most recognized figures in the country, and pull an entire movement into being behind it."
I'll be interviewing one of the survivors that attended the Blanche meeting this Sunday at noon PT on the @meidastouch.com YouTube channel. I'll post a link here Sunday morning.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 3mo agoA source tells MS NOW that Todd Blanche told Epstein survivors during their meeting, "The FBI has the power to open investigations, not me." "I'm just the attorney general," Blanche added.
Additionally, it drives me crazy that the default position in this country is that being here undocumented is a crime. It’s not. Further, legal status isn’t a factor in whether someone should be murdered.
Ahmed Baba@ahmedbaba.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt’s impossible to move the debate forward when one side is committed to upholding a disinformation-fueled, dehumanizing false reality that leads to the state-sanctioned street killings of innocent people. There are not two sides to this particular story. Full stop.
Which was more pathetic: the Phase I binder of the Epstein Files or this election horseshit?
@hcrichardson.bsky.social What should we do with someone like Scott? I think he’d like to see me abandon the Democrat Party. Maybe I need to give up on reaching people like him?
Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt's official: the GOP is spending big to promote a select group of DSA candidates, including the DSA gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong. It's so they can say the Democrats are all commies in November.
That’s it! It will be Argentina and Spain in the World Cup final.
Todd Blanche is the worst Attorney General nominee in my lifetime. He’s under investigation by the Bar Association. This confirmation hearing isn’t bearing that out.
Mike Lee is now lying about voter fraud. As he sits in a senate seat. That he was voted into.
All the letters supporting Blanche being entered into the record are from police unions. Insane.
Gas is high. Groceries are high. Rent is high. Wages are stagnant. Another forever war. ICE is committing murder on our streets. We can’t eat fresh produce and our national monuments and parks are being pillaged. But, at least the president has made billions of dollars in the last year…
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Joan Sebastian Guerrero Ruben Ray Martinez Alex Pretti Renee Good Dozens of other innocent lives. These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable. It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!
"The President may be threatening to declare sitting United States senators 'illegitimate'. If that is the course of action he pursues, he is calling Georgia voters 'illegitimate'." Sen. Jon Ossoff
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
Hospitalized for a month for falling down and having a mild case of pneumonia. Now he's been moved to a rehab center.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 3mo ago🚨 New from McCONNELL: "I took a fall which landed me in the hospital." “My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital."
Big story here. What an admission by the FBI re: Epstein! More details live on today’s episode 👇
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 3mo agoBREAKING EXCLUSIVE: In a stunning admission, the FBI just confirmed to me the existence of training videos instructing FBI analysts on what to redact in the Epstein Files. I’ll show you the letter and discuss the massive implications in one hour. Link below: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...
Texas, the model State for Project 2025, a return to The Confederacy, Jim Crow 2.0 and The Handmaid’s tale, white Christian nationalism, fascism… And strangely, 8 million Texans that are eligible don’t vote!
So this is the face, the look, the vibe, the jubilation of winning.
