We all need to start thinking about the best ways to keep the 2026 election free and fair
Just wrote an upbeat (!) Morning Shots.
I mean, if not today, when?
We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.

How Gun Blasts From Indoor Shooting May Cause Brain Injuries
The Times tested the blast waves of several popular civilian guns at an indoor range and found that repeated firing could add up to potentially harmful exposure.

FUN FACT: Saturday’s peaceful protests were 14 times bigger than both of Trump's inaugurations combined. #NoKings
Trump: "Even that garbage deal they had this wknd, which was embarrassing to them. And the crowds were not big at all. But when you look at signs and they're all made professionally in a printing shop, some guy is paying for all that stuff ... they're going crazy because they're getting paid"

This is ridiculous. It’s way past time to swear in Adelita Grijalva.

Trump is demanding his own administration give him $230 million.
He's cutting himself a taxpayer-funded check, and paying for it by cutting your healthcare and food assistance.
This is what corruption under authoritarianism looks like.

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

There comes a point when we can no longer “fight from within”. A point when the best way to protect the American people is to leave CDC. Deb, Dan, and Demetre reached that point. We are so proud of them for resigning. Loudly. As a warning. This is not surrender. This is fighting back.

As the piece notes, the PragerU propaganda is being used in schools in Louisiana, Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona, South Carolina and Idaho.
Check with your district to see if they're using this garbage to brainwash your kids.

Friendly reminder that school administrators tend to take complaints from parents much more seriously than the same complaints from teachers. So if your kids’ school district is using PragerU stuff, please speak up.
The White House has a preferred alternative to PBS: PragerU, a nonprofit organization that specializes in creating right-leaning educational short videos for adults and children. . It may already be in countless classrooms. www.vox.com/today-explai...

If you’ve ever thought about it before, even considered it, now is the time to step up and support NPR.
When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.
With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.
If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

Nothing is normal. There’s a bill in North Carolina to make it illegal for election officials to encourage people to vote. Even nonpartisan outreach is under attack. Democracy is on the line. It’s never too early. REGISTER! Do it now! @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social @lwvnc.bsky.social

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
