As Americans, are we supposed to just sit here and say okay when our country steals Venezuela's oil?I haven't heard "how dare we steal their oil!" from any newscaster or politician. That's just who we are now?

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

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.

We need a "water grid" in the US, similar to how we share electricity through a grid. If we can pump oil across the country, we should be able to capture and share the billions of gallons of flood waters in the south to rivers and reservoirs in CO,AZ, NV and other areas with drought and wildfires.

As America celebrates 250 years of Independence, we must remember that more than 240 years of free labor (slavery) helped build this Nation. We honor our economic Foundational Mothers & Fathers, the enslaved, by pursuing reconciliation and addressing the vestiges of slavery.

I don't trust Glen Platner. Why are we even considering a guy with a racist tattoo and history of drinking, womanizing, and bad behavior? Also, I've seen that hang dog apologetic expression before. I don't buy it.

I want a president who investigates people who sexually assaulted women in the Epstein files, not a president who investigates a woman he sexually assaulted.

Every GOP member of Congress should be asked by the press whether they agree Trump can use $1.7b that we, the taxpayers, paid so gov’t could work for us, as reward money to his supporters.

Congress works 140 days a year and earns $174K annually, plus full benefits. How can anyone survive on that without a few stock trades and a little insider trading? They get 225 days off a year and think it’s okay to hold the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour for 17 years.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Hey congress, if Lutnick – or anyone else – is lying, we need to judge for ourselves. A transcript leaves out the vast majority of the communication. Do not treat us like children. It is our right to see and hear any and all such videos.

This is important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…its members “believe deeply in the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years,” such as the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power.”

“This bill forces homeless people charged with a crime to make the false choice between jail or at least one year of forced treatment. Louisiana has a long history—and present—of chain gangs, prison labor, and entrenched white supremacy" says @homelesslaw.bsky.social

Common Dreams@commondreams.org

Louisiana Advances One of the Country’s ‘Cruelest’ Anti-Homeless Bills The bill requires homeless people to perform unpaid labor to pay for treatment, which advocates said "evokes debtor’s prisons, convict leasing, and the ugliest day of Jim Crow."

Every day Pam Bondi doesn’t release the millions of Epstein files still being protected is another day when she is breaking the law passed near-unanimously. Why has she not been taken into custody for violating the Epstein Transparency Act?
