My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

On election day, Californians will vote on a ballot measure to impose a one-time 5% tax on the wealth of billionaires. “We can either be a Democratic Party that stands for the working class in the tradition of the New Deal, or we can continue to cater to the donor class,” says @rokhanna.bsky.social.

the tourism numbers are absolutely fucking brutal and it's destroying ruby red areas of the country that rely on furriners in much the same way as destroying higher ed is wrecking the college towns that actually power entire regions of states

"The numbers suggest that the collapse of the United States’ tourism industry is accelerating, thanks to Trump, MAGA, the GOP’s extreme xenophobia, and their belief that there’s no problem you can’t brutalize your way out of." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

Even if he had to pay Trump more for the pardon, he made out like a bandit. Who says crime doesn't pay?

The Trump/Republican Idiocracy at work. Pardon all the crooks, pedophiles and sexual perverts.

Are there two guys who love New York and New Yorkers more than these two?

Sliwa getting a flu shot: This could be very embarrassing. I’m supposed to be a tough guy, right? Mamdani: I can hold your hand. Sliwa: What happens if I faint? Mamdani: I got you. Doctor: You’re in great hands, literally. New Yorkers can find free flu shots and locations at nyc.gov/healthmap

Women are rarely believed. Usually, we're blamed, shamed, and made to feel that we are responsible for being raped or sexually assaulted. It's been like this for centuries. Women are angry and tired of this bullshit. We're sick of living in fear, sick of the blame, and sick of the shame.

Abdul El-Sayed: “AI shouldn’t be able to fire you. AI shouldn’t be able to deny you health care. AI shouldn’t be able to fire a weapon.” That’s a pretty clear and succinct way of putting it.

Our right to privacy should be as sacred as our right to private property. Flock cameras are tracking Texans and feeding information into a massive surveillance network with far too little transparency or accountability.

Trump and @jd-vance-1.bsky.social are making America weak and an embarrassment of our core values as a nation

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

Trump is giving Xi a reception of a sort historically reserved only for the visiting heads of state of close allies. Xi did nothing like this for Trump when he visited Beijing. The Chinese will view this, correctly, as a display of weakness by Trump. Solid analysis here.

Health insurance companies, among others, count on us not having the time and energy to fight them...or that we just die.

Raider@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social

When you're constantly just trying to keep the lights on and put food on the table, you don't have the time or energy to fight the system. Keeping people hanging on by a thread isn't a policy failure; it's how they keep us too tired to push back.

Whoa! She has no more fucks to give.

Terry Strada spoke at the 25th anniversary ceremony at the 9/11 Memorial in NYC. While reading victims’ names, including her husband’s, she went off-script, accusing Saudi Arabia of supporting al-Qaeda and criticizing US administrations for shielding the kingdom from accountability.

“To leave no loopholes Hitler exacted from all officers and men of the armed forces an oath of allegiance—not to Germany, not to the constitution, which he had violated by not calling for the election of Hindenburg’s successor, but to himself.” -Shirer, Rise & Fall of the Thrid Reich, p. 375

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Fetterman is not only a terrible, lazy senator who was supported by his parents until his mid-40s, he’s just a garbage human being. No surprise he ended up as a regular Fox contributor where he feels most at home.

BREAKING: Liam Tadeo was just deported by ICE.

James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social

A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center. ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad. Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.

The Democrats who are talking about Hasan Piker more than Donald Trump are just proving us lefties' case that these folks care *far* more about disciplining us than defeating fascism.

Lost_Me85 reposted

A bunch of AIPAC-funded Democrats are deeply offended by Hasan’s recent statement, which, to be honest, wasn’t all that alarming. They weren’t this offended by Trump starting an illegal war. There’s an obvious agenda taking shape around the “outrage.”
