Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.

250 years ago—Jul. 4, 1776—Second Continental Congress adopted Declaration of Independence, declaring the 13 colonies no longer British subjects. “All men are created equal… .” We’ve never fully lived up to its words, but the U.S. is at its best when we’re striving to do so. Image: Public domain.

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

Whoa 🤯 in Slow-Mo@0lsi.bsky.social

Chicago made it so every public school student can use their school ID as a #LibraryCard 📚. No forms, no extra steps. It gives over 300k students instant access to #books, #tutoring, and online resources 🙌

#Boston #NoKings

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

No kings. Not now, not ever. We don’t do strongmen, loyalty tests, or people who think the rules don’t apply to them. This is a democracy. And we’re not giving it away to someone who wants to rule instead of answer to us. #NoKings

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

dlvr.itDan Bernstein wants Matt Shaw to ‘have the guts to stand up when asked about’ Turning Point USA appearanceChicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw made headlines last season when he missed a critical late-season game to attend a memorial service for right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Arthur Priest, The Unsinkable Stoker, died today in 1937. He survived the sinkings of the Titanic, Asturias, Alcantara, Britannic & the Donegal. He ended up ashore in Southampton as he claimed "no one wished to sail with him after these disasters." There, he died of pneumonia.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
