Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

Reminder to everyone donating to food banks in light of the Republicans starving SNAP: It is far more cost effective to donate directly to food banks than to buy food and give it to them. They can buy in bulk and have existing relationships with sellers, so your few bucks go way further that way

These are heart-wrenching stories of the terror & trauma ICE raids are inflicting on kids. I was at Funston Elementary a week after tear gas canisters were set off outside the school, and I'm proud of the courageous educators protecting their students & school community.

We fought our first overseas war (1801) to stop the Barbary States from doing just that in the Mediterranean.
That's what the reference to 'the shores of Tripoli' means in the Marines' Hymn.

Hands off our libraries and their funding! Thank you, G.A.O.!
The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office says the Trump administration broke the law by withholding funding for the nation’s libraries as part of its federal reorganization plan. The G.A.O. will sue if the administration continues to block funds already approved by Congress.

@bestese34.bsky.social Terry Moran was fired for calling Stephen Miller “bile” but…
Sen. Mike Lee can make a joke about killing a MN speaker and remain in office.
Mike Johnson can call for the “tar and feathering” of the California Governor and remain Speaker.
Do I have this right?

The suggestion that Kristi Noem, a white woman, is the "delicate, beautiful, tiny" victim after a Latino man is physically dragged out of a room fits into the admin's pretext of criminality it attaches to people who are not white.

The right thinks Noem is the victim of Sen. Padilla's assault. But what about Rep. McIver?
