This summer, New York City’s young people are designing the future of soccer.

"Before he can vote for himself in the primary, Mike Lindell needs to register to vote in the state he wants to lead as gov The Secretary of State’s office said Lindell, Trump’s preferred candidate, 'does not have an active record' A review shows Lindell has an active voter registration in TX"

The Houston Chronicle, largest newspaper in Houston endorse James Talarico! 👏 Writing, “Texans deserve better than Ken Paxton’s moral rot’… Paxton’s documented deeds prove he’s a man of low character, lacking integrity. An extremely very poor candidate for an even more powerful political office.

His last statement is one we are going to need in the upcoming years if our country rights itself in the midterms.

BASH: There's an olympian - David Hearn - who was indicted. He faces 10 years in prison. He says he didn't do anything other than reach into the reflecting pool. Do you really think he should face a 10 year sentence? BURGUM: Just bc you were a former something doesn't exclude you from the law

hey its actually a gigantic problem that 1 of the 2 major political parties in this country are consistently claiming any election they dont win has been “stolen” or “rigged”

This has been the problem for the past 11 years.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

February 11, 1990: South African anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela is freed after 27 years in prison.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Troublemaker is my middle name.

MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991. Trump personally endorsed Leigh Wambsganss and spent days hyping this race… and still lost.

We should have all known that the moment progressives pulled out their own guns and the black panthers were back in the news defending their communities, that would be the time for common sense gun control. Not 20 some school shootings back, don't be silly.

The DOJ is withholding the Epstein files while reporters withhold asking about their release.

Part of me appreciates Jeff Bezos spending tens of millions of dollars for Melania to be publicly humiliated.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Obama: "The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy... Our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault. The President & current admin officials seem eager to escalate the situation while offering public explanations.. that appear to be directly contradicted by video evidence."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification? Is this right?

I follow the quiet signs—
deer tracks by the creek,
water moving forward,
small miracles underfoot. Nature keeps reminding me that renewal is real, that light finds its way back, even after the storm. #HopeInSmallThings #NatureAsHealer #WalkingWithAttention

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

LMAO McGovern is on fire right now 🔥🔥🔥

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

At minimum, there should be a tax on AI use and a tax on the land they use for data centers and they should provide their own energy.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

A student today mentioned that he has a safety plan for *every classroom* he is in. I told the kids in class that I am so sorry that this is part of their lives.

This is very, very true.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

Overheard at Costco: 5yo: Daddy, I like these [Bluey] toothbrushes. Dad: why do you need a new toothbrush? You don't even brush your teeth? 5yo: Mine is boring.
