Don't worry everyone. Donald Trump was just joking when he said Iran should take out Los Angeles and San Diego. He'd never actually condone attacking the United States of America. Oh wait.

LET’S. DO. THIS. 😎✨

History won't ask what you posted. It'll count who showed up. Be in the count: check your registration, make your voting plan, and bring two people with you. When we vote, we win. #LetsGetVoteReady

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton gave a well-connected attorney who admitted to s*xually abusing an 8-year-old boy over multiple years just a 30-day jail sentence — and let him avoid the sex offender registry. Now, Paxton is running for U.S. Senate against James Talarico with Trump’s backing.

A minor detail is missing from the headline.

Today we honor the memories of those who were lost on 9/11 by doing what America's attackers and detractors could never do. By building. We build an America that is bigger. More inclusive. More empowering. More just.

Star Trek celebrates its 60th birthday today. I have a new story coming, but I'm now posting my fave past stories, including an NPR piece published exactly 10 years ago on the show's 50th anniversary, w/star George Takei revealing he never thought the show would last. READ: https://loom.ly/Mi0L9HI

AI data centers' gas turbines and backup diesel generators are polluting the air in our communities. But instead of protecting us, the Trump administration is using the AI boom as justification to gut pollution controls and the Clean Air Act. Tell the EPA to protect our air ⬇️

Thanks to a Democrat Gov. Who let her out of prison!

Vote like your life depends on it, or the life of a friend, relative, or neighbor. Because it does. We’re the decoys now.

Melania being out of the spotlight and missing in action makes a lot more sense now. She’s reading Natalie Harp’s love letters to Trump and adding another zero to the prenup.

The White House is pissed after Senator Jon Ossoff questioned Trump’s relationship with his much younger aide. trib.al/NDDnUUP

Ice says that these electric gloves are meant to "maintain compliance." Slave owners used to say the same thing about whips. If using shock collars on dogs is Animal Cruelty and Abuse, how is it fine for ICE to use Shock Gloves on people?

Now he wants to use your tax dollars to cover the majority of the almost $1 BILLION price tag of his vanity projects. Another broken promise on your tab. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

The Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar began #OnThisDay in 3114 BC (by some calculations). The calendar, in association with astronomical observations and complex mathematical calculations, framed and structured many key aspects of #Maya social, political and religious life 1/2 🏺 #Archaeology

Dr Abdul El-Sayed: "It's not radical to believe that people should be able to afford their groceries, have healthcare, or drink clean water." In a political landscape dominated by fear, focusing on core human needs isn't extreme—it's basic common sense for everyday Americans.

Todd Blanche quite obviously lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he told them this was dead. It was never dead. It was just on hold until he was confirmed.

Trump Regime: Bomb a girls elementary school - zero consequences for anyone. Refusal to accept responsibility. ICE shoots innocent people - zero consequences or acceptance of responsibility. Indict someone on false evidence - zero consequences or acceptance of responsibility.

Speaking of… someone sent me this the other day and it’s pretty amazing youtu.be/TGwCAICuBkY?...

I hope they all end up in CECOT. Stephen Miller, Trump, his sons, everyone who helps and helped Trump destroy this country.

www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res... Oh, I'm sure this won't matter when these thugs are sent to our polls in Nov. to intimidate voters in Blue States and Blue cities.

Ken Paxton vowed to crack down on "illegal voting." He may have violated Texas election law. Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning that "it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records."

The best ideas don't come from City Hall. They come from New Yorkers.

An eruption of Mount Etna, on the Italian island of Sicily, produced a spectacular lava show that turned part of Europe's largest active volcano orange.

I just took action with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: Sign the Declaration of Representation. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-t...

Heh, heh, heh. Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch...

If the National Parks Service is capable of arresting people who as much as dip their hand in the reflecting pool (and they have), then they're entirely capable of fabricating a false flag story about someone "ripping up" the pool. This administration lies as it breathes.

TENNESSEAN: “Nashville judge blocks TN Dept of Health from reporting 400 disabled immigrant kids receiving state-funded care to ICE as required by a new state law drafted with the White House… opponents say it deters families from getting necessary care.” www.tennessean.com/story/news/c...

Like other failed beautification projects, the president’s ego trip will cost taxpayers millions.

It's Octavia Butler's birthday! Two decades after her passing, her work remains truly visionary - defying genre to explore facets of humanity that most authors of her time were unable or unwilling to face.

Chick Corea: Today I’m remembering the birthday of one of the truly great pianists in jazz, Chick Corea. Chick’s contributions to the music were vast—through his bands, his compositions, and his unmistakable voice at the piano. Happy birthday, Chick.

OMG, I really love Ann Telnaes. She is a great political cartoonist and walked away from Bezos Post and she is now independent. I think she hit another one out of the park.. What do ya all think? I really love this one.

BREAKING: We've won the war with Iran! Again! For the 37th time! 🎉 Truly historic, the way only a war can be won three dozen separate times. And don't worry, the peace plan is "in the works" — right next to the healthcare plan, the infrastructure plan, and the wall Mexico paid for. 🙄

Please god make it so!

Every time Trump talks about fair negotiations, people should remember that he assassinated the whole Iranian leadership while they were negotiating with his envoys.
