On November 3rd, 36 states will elect their next governor. The outcome of these races will make a real difference in the lives of millions of people — but only if you vote. So join me in electing @demgovs.org: democraticgovernors.org

@meidastouch.com How they started. Reading the WTF book. youtu.be/8811RaS6Qok?...

The world the tech bros are building. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do. www.gadgetreview.com/virginia-dat...

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

I just finished reading Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former employee of Facebook. Zuckerberg and that company are even worse than I could have imagined.

I LONG for those days... Days when Presidents were interested in the entire Nation.

Hey "law and order" crowd: how about following the f*cking law and releasing the un-redacted files??? #Epstein

Dolly Parton was an icon. She was a brilliant songwriter and performer. She was an incredible activist and advocate, helping to donate over 200 million free books to children. She was one of my personal heroes. This is a terrible loss. She will be greatly missed.

Yesterday I tested positive for COVID, after spending a couple of days thinking it was hay fever and then realizing it wasn't. Largely due to the expertise and decades of hard work by this man, I am at home, in decent shape and not going to end up dead or in the hospital. Thank you, Dr. Fauci.

EVERYONE SAYS HE IS CRAZY— WHICH MAYBE HE IS — BUT THE SCARIER THING ABOUT HIM IS THAT HE IS STUPID. YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYONE AS STUPID AS DONALD TRUMP. YOU JUST DON'T. ~ FRAN LEBOWITZ

If reading the Bible or the Quran or any other religious work makes you hate more and lead to darkness, then I would suggest finding another book to meditate on. If reading a religious text helps you love more and be more compassionate and leads to light, keep it up.

The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!

66-year-old Dale Schultz was killed in the In-N-Out shooting in Idaho. His wife Reinette was also severely injured in the shooting. The gunman used an AK-47. Urge your Members of Congress to cosponsor the bill to #BanAssaultWeapons. 📞 (202) 224-3121 📝 secure.everyaction.com/tQceIFM-V0Ot...

They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.

Throwback: Remember Bill Cartwright? He had one of the worst shooting mechanics ever seen in the NBA, yet he ended his career with 52% FG and 78% FT percentages. He won 3 rings. (via Pasion Basket) #NBA

They say you should be respectful of the president. Here’s the thing. No

Paxton is second to Todd Blanche for Corruption as an AG . Texans can Vote for Talerico and send a message to Republicans and Never Again nominate a Proven Crook, who won’t explain how he owns 15 homes on a $153,000.😱😱😡⚖️⚖️please repost to help Texans decide 🗳️🗳️🗳️🧢🧢🧢👊🇺🇸😎

I gotta say. I’ve never seen the Europeans move so quickly, so unified and so resolute as when they basically told Gianni Infantino and FIFA to fuck off. Imagine a World Cup without European teams. The art of beating the colonizers is one of football’s great pleasures

Dr. Fauci is one of greatest medical minds of our time. His work has certainly saved millions of lives around the world. During the COVID pandemic, he along with the world’s best doctors and scientists raced to create a vaccine and stop an epidemic.

The President of the United States is protecting P€dophiles.

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.

Happy 65th Birthday to Laurence Fishburne

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.

Count Brad Paisley, Tanya Tucker, Gavin Adcock, and Willie Nelson among those voices, RS reported. “It would be an enormous monstrosity, an absolute eye sore and detract in every way for not only that zoo, but also that area,” Paisley posted, supported by Jack White, Sheryl Crow, and Margo Price.

If you’re watching Fauci’s testimony remember that science isn’t an ideology. It doesn’t lie. It evolves. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-century pandemic caused by a brand-new virus, recommendations changed because the evidence changed. That’s not deception. That’s how it works.

Kander: I'm sure that Anthony Fauci thinks that not every decision that he ever made worked out very well. But I would also recognize that when COVID happened, nobody really knew what to do. And the science was changing constantly.

The President of the United States is a loser.

Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

Today is another one of those uncomfortable times where I find myself looking wistfully back at the Bush Administration.

Need to get every politician in office or running to say this. Period.

Whenever I tell anyone that I’m a writer and they answer ‘have I read anything you’ve written?’ I make them list everything they’ve ever read to make sure.
