I don't expect this to get a lot of traction, but:

Please add alt text, it's not hard & it's kind of fun.

Also, please credit artists in a post.

I may like an un-alt or uncredited post, but won't likely repost unless those things are included.

Artists deserve credit, and alt text is helpful. Thx

Took me a second to work out the logistics here, Fred does like to fold himself into boxes in odd ways. Obviously I went in for danger tickles.

I don't care if Bill Clinton, Dolly Parton or Jesus Christ himself is implicated in the Epstein files. Anyone who committed such crimes should burn. I believe that because I'm not in a cult.

My first graders learned about the story quilt work of Faith Ringgold. Then using torn paper collage they created their own self portrait quilt square. Together we are a quilt!

It was an honor for MK and me to meet with Pope Leo XIV – a son of Illinois – to express the pride and reverence of the people of this great state. Pope Leo XIV’s message of hope, compassion, unity, and peace resonates with Illinoisans of all faiths and traditions.

NEW:

In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.

She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.

Then she died.

Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

@yourstorymatters.bsky.social has been doing phenomenal work OTG in Chicago (mostly over on Instagram), documenting assaults on the press and protesters. Last night a needed lens disappeared in the chaos.

If you picked up this Sigma, get in touch!

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

My mom was born in 1926 and graduated HS in 1944. She married, raised 6 daughters, and died at home at 93 after a lifetime of joy and accomplishment.

We were robbed of so much when these people were taken from us. 💔 #NeverForget
19 November 1926 | Czech Jewish woman Amálie Kochová was born in Prague.

She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 23 October 1944. She did not survive.

Listen…If y’all want to talk honesty, then let’s be honest about all of it.

The promises, the hypocrisy, the receipts.

Because what you campaigned on and what you’re doing? Two very different things.
