Tying health insurance to employment makes workers easier to exploit, bc when you get fired you don’t just lose your job, you might also die or go bankrupt…

During WWII, Mária Telkes invented a solar device that turned seawater into drinking water for stranded airmen and sailors. Then she helped build a house heated entirely by the sun. She was harnessing solar power in the 1940s. They called her “Sun Queen” for a reason. #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

Today, two (two!) men ran sub two-hour marathons for the first time in human history and the news is nowhere to be found on the ESPN or Sports Illustrated home pages. One of the greatest feats in sports history and it’s less important than the final round of the NFL Draft.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.] A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

My current response to any democratic party text or email with a survey requesting a donation is that I will not be donating another cent to the democratic party until ICE is defunded.

Powerful moment in Montgomery, Alabama. Man grabbed the mic and torched the whole game. "The state leads in starving kids, counties with no pediatric beds, hospitals boarded up, yet they slash food and care. The state uses racial fear-mongering to distract the public from these systemic failures.”

I feel like activists need to start carrying safe hammer glass breakers in their back pockets for when they get shoved into the back seats of kidnappers’ vehicles. And also learn how to vomit at will.
