Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

What the Pope Said About A.I. Leo XIV’s new encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” presents a remarkable case for placing moral concerns, and not profit, or competitive advantage, or efficiency, at the center of any discussion of artificial intelligence.

When all of this is over, when all the tell-all books have been printed, all the trials concluded, all the people with nothing left to fear by speaking up... we're going to find out it's all been so much worse than we ever thought it was. That the whole thing was absolutely and totally awful.

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

No one is allowed to say they didn’t vote for this. You voted for a vulgar, narcissistic, incompetent, mentally ill, bigoted, unfit, incompetent, maleficent person to run the United States of America. You knew exactly what you were doing. Stop pretending.

IT'S TIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEEEEE!! Drastic times call for drastic measures. If you can stay home, AWESOME. If you can't, please consider NOT BUYING anything that day. The POINT is the pressure of OUR POWER. #MAYDay #May1st #GeneralStrike #NOBusinessAsUSUAL www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

commondreams.orgNationwide General Strike Planned for May 1: No Kings Organizer | Common DreamsIndivisible co-founder Ezra Levin announces nationwide general strike on May 1 in next No Kings mass action.

8 million people yesterday, may be even more since not all groups are registered with Indivisible, Move On, or 50501. That's only the people who came out, or who were able to. There are many, many more who couldn't but still do their part. If this continues, the midterms are ours.

8 Million protesters yesterday at #NoKings. No police beaten with flag poles. No fire extinguishers thrown at other humans. No vandalism or theft. No racist flags. No zip ties. No death threats. No pipe bombs. No poop smeared on walls. That's what happens when mature, civilized people protest.

Ty Cobb on Ari Melber's show just mentioned that trump is in obvious decline and has the nuclear codes. Ari, in response, says that Biden was also in decline and had the codes. Is he seriously comparing these two guys or is he just running scared, as always? See ya, Ari. I'm all set with you.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

Stephen Miller is 10 times more dangerous than Kristi Noem who is also dangerous. Best case scenario is that they somehow ruin each other.

If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara. Powerful ad by Interfaith Alliance — a plea for humanity.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The pile of lies is stunning. First, no crimes at 1/6. Second, wrong to investigate. Third, unusual to get toll records of people instigators called. Fourth, wrong to suspend notice while investigation ongoing. Cherry on top: vote yourself $500k as victim of nothing wrong.

Megyn Kelly is a disgrace to women, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters- everywhere. Does she have a daughter? A niece? does she think this would be acceptable regardless whether the girl was 8 or 15? She's disgusting.

Americans are standing on a health care cliff. More than 20 million Americans could see their premiums double. Doctors, nurses, rural Americans, patients, and families are speaking out. This isn’t political theater.
