A gentle reminder:
We all want the same things. Physical Safety. Inner Peace. Economic Security. Clean Water. Healthy Food. Love. Connection. Happiness.
Some of us just want it for everyone else on the planet too.

Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News: "I think about MLK. He said this thing I always think about -- 'If your coalition is not uncomfortable, it's not big enough.' A lot of people wonder why I'm having this conversation with you. It's because there are people out there who I want to have a conversation with."
I simply do not understand the mentality of people who prefer oil and gas and "drill baby drill" to the cost of the Earth and our pockets... to those of us who want clean, cheap, renewable energy.
How brainwashed by big oil and its (often) paid advocates do you have to be? How gullible.
Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.

Oh well. Good job Virginia!!
We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.
Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.
Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.
With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.
Bensky: And then we have the moment where all of my information is released. All of these other survivors — all of our information is literally out there for the world to see. And you’re like, “Wow, the DOJ really — our government doesn’t care.”
Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."
New from @pamherd.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern?:
The SAVE Act is a truly extreme voter suppression bill, but in ways that might surprise you. White Christian Nationalism is driving the bill more than a cynical focus on maximizing GOP vote share. 🧵
