Do we really need to explain to people that it is really, REALLY important to read to young children? Like, you, personally, need to read to your child - your voice, your face, your hand gestures, your lap, your arms, your closeness. What kind of parent doesn't know this in their bones?

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

What Hakeem Jeffries teaches us is that establishment Dems run on progressive policies when they know they won’t have the power to enact them, And scurry over to GOP policy when they have the power to do ANYTHING! This is why voting for progressives matters so much!

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year. The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to huge savings. /1

GOP Senator Tommy Tuberville calls Abdul El-Sayed a "terrorist" in writing. Tuberville is also GOP nominee for Gov of Alabama. Every Republican on cable news should be asked if denounce this. Instead cable news is focused on whether every Democrat denounces Democratic Socialists of America.

I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.

This is a really good explainer about the mortality estimates around USAID. One big point is that dismantling USAID also dismantled one of the main sources of mortality data in some of these regions. Early indicators of mortality are very worrying.

Adam Bojak speaks to his supporters following his victory -- and Jon Rivera's victory -- on primary day, pointing to the results and saying "you did that."

Tuesday’s primary results in NY show us the Democratic party does not have an identity crisis, it has a leadership crisis—but finally that is changing! The people who won the three congressional races in NYC are all strong progressives who are championing policies that help people--not corporations!

Adam Bojak wins as an unapologetic democratic socialist in upstate New York! For years pundits told us our vision for New York would never resonate outside of NYC and downstate… @bojak4assembly.bsky.social proves them ALL wrong. This is a movement for ALL working people, no matter your zip code 🌹

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.
