Imagine if we had held enslavers accountable for the harm to the humans they enslaved instead allowing white supremacy to govern our country….

Larry Hochman@larryhochman.bsky.social

The emotional barriers that someone needs to put up to avoid this truth. We all protect ourselves from uncomfortable facts. As a public servant, you follow the law, not your feelings.

It was never about legality….

This is appalling. These Haitians were here legally under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. The Trump regime spread racist lies, ended the program, declared them illegal and rounded them up in chains for deportation. Now DHS is proudly posting videos of Black Haitians in chains.

The world has lost a wonderful treasure of a human in Dolly Parton today. 😢 May her memory remind us all to be kind humans and use our unique gifts to make the world a better place.

The world is a pretty fucked up place, especially here in the US.. but moments like this remind me there are still good humans, giving love, and making the lives of others beautiful even in the darkest of moments.

400 students gather outside the home of Ben Ellis, their cancer-stricken teacher to sing for him. For 30 minutes, they played instruments and sang. "I love you". He passed away 10 days later. Original post

There’s no bottom. No line that won’t be crossed, and no one holding them accountable.

McGowan: The president's personal defense attorney should not be the attorney general. The man who ignored the Epstein victims and then moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison to where she is now, should not be the attorney general. I think Cassidy is a spineless coward.

The trump administration is out of excuses and out of time. I’m demanding the senate pass the Delaney Hall Closure Act—to close it within 90 days.

Julia Roberts: We all feel like, “I can’t turn the news on. I don’t want to hear it.” But we have to hear it. We have to face it. But if we keep inhaling and exhaling, we will prevail.

"Bonita" works in the carrots in Arvin CA. She works in the fields bundling carrots with her coworkers. They bundle the carrots into bunches of 7 and put them in a box. There are 24 bunches in a box. They get paid $3.05 for each box. #WeFeedYou

This… please remember this. And I’ll add Self care is radical resistance. If they can’t break us, they won’t win. This is how we have the stamina to keep fighting, protesting and advocating for our children, neighbors, and government reform.

At some point—and I can’t quite say when—it has become harder, at least from this side of the Atlantic, to separate our image of Donald Trump from the United States itself. The two have begun to blur in ways that feel new, and, frankly, unsettling.

Absolutely agree. If we are to salvage and repair anything, the democrats must play by new rules and accept there is no longer a center.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. There is no more "center" anymore. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQzG_TrhyrY

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

“I voted once for Trump in 2016 — I’ve learned right wing media is just a propaganda machine… ask yourself if the principles of this administration are actually in line with the teachings of Jesus. All they’re doing is exploiting the poor for the benefit of the billionaires.”

It’s a win for women everywhere! Thank you!!

Republicans have time to pettily paint over a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting because they can’t hate gay people enough, but they can’t be bothered to stop school shootings because they don’t love children enough. --‪Mrs. Betty Bowers‬

No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.

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

The Daily Beans Podcast is the first podcast I listen to every morning. They keep the content factual, current and deliver it with empathy and humor. It’s a great way to stay informed and sane during such social unrest.

NEW: I had a busy weekend: I spoke to an FBI Analyst that reviewed the Epstein files, I spoke to a DOJ analyst who was fired because of her husband’s ICEBlock app, and I’m suing the DoJ for the Epstein transcripts. News with swearing. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
