Impeach the cabinet secretaries, one by one, starting with Hegseth/RFK jr. I feel confident every single one of them have done impeachable offenses, it lets you focus on the admins corruption, and you might get the votes in the Senate for it. Then impeach Trump, imo, after some wins

Mississippi’s 4th graders regularly lead the nation now for literacy. Here’s the transcript from an interview a Harvard-affiliated podcast did with Kymyona Burk, one of the literacy experts who helped kickstart the turnaround. Worth the read/listen

Trump claims that thanks to Republicans, Mississippi's schools are "among the best ranked in the nation"

Berri beat me to it. A lot of the comments and quotes to that initial post really left a bad taste in my mouth, and made me want to push back a bit

Berri Baker Gordon@berribaker.bsky.social

He lies a lot, and the schools are not the best in the nation. But for everyone dumping on the state’s educational system, you should know it has come a long way: www.mpe.org/news/730672/...

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

LG is often a springboard in other states but since its creation New Jersey LG has been a singularly cursed position. first one immediately lost her first and only bid for the top job, next one fucking died, one after that got stomped in a House special by Analilia Mejia, and then comes Caldwell.

The New York Times has now run two prominently placed stories about Zohran Mamdani's comms department coordinating with unpaid influencers as if it is a huge scandal. Will they cover Trump using our tax dollars to buy literal campaign ads as if it is equivalent scandalous? If not why not?

The worst democrat is still better than the best republican and I would also advise reserving your judgement on someone being a "bad democrat" until they vote for stupid shit

Mikhail Gorbaechev@mikhailgorbaechev.bsky.social

I think it's good to yell at Dems when they play footsie with transphobic bullshit and also we should always vote for the Democrat.

I keep repeating this fun fact to people while they stare at me with feigned interest: “helicopter” is a compound word, but probably not in the way you think! it’s made up of “helico” as in, “spiral,” from the Greek “helix” and “pter” as in “wing,” like in pterodactyl!!

when we regain control, we must use the power of the state not just to reverse these decisions but mete out true justice, swiftly and unsparingly, to those who made and enforced them

BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Friday that it reached an “agreement” with Mount Sinai Health System in which it will “cease providing” gender-affirming medical care to minors and dedicate $2 million to providing care to those “suffering harmful consequences” of such care.

Mid-tier Big 10 Quarterback? That’s the Big 10 career passing leader Taulia Tagovailoa you’re talking about

Ryan Kohn@ryankohn.bsky.social

… wasn’t the USA Flag Football team boasting that NFL players could never do what they do at an international level? And now they’re out here getting roasted by a mid-tier Big 10 quarterback???

Maybe the best QB Maryland has had since Boomer? Which might be more of an indictment of the last 40 or so years of QB play from Maryland than praise for Tagovailoa lol

Monmouth having so many train stations really is such a great advantage. One of the biggest shore bars, Bar Anticipation in Belmar, is a 2 min walk from the train station. Being able to take a much cheaper train ride to the bars as opposed to uber AND you can drink on the train is a huge benefit
