Sarah Kendzior speaks truth to power.If Bluesky can’t handle that, it’s not the open forum it claims to be. Silencing independent journalists is cowardly and dangerous to democracy.Censorship of critical voices isn’t a show of strength it’s a confession of fear. We need more accountability, not less

Looking more and more that a bill before the 4th of July was never more than wishful thinking.
The votes are slowing down.
They don’t have a bill.
Still issues with Parl.
Still disagreeing in caucus.
Still fighting with House.
Still no final language.

It’s not “socialist” to advocate for universal healthcare.

It’s obscene that the richest country in the world doesn’t consider healthcare a basic human right.

If you want to Make America Healthy Again, it starts with healthcare.

Everything else is secondary.

Dayum; Kristi, you've been called out! Good job, Rachel.
That ignorant, spackle-faced, puppy-murdering harpy should keep Los Angeles out of her quacker and take a hard look in the mirror (quick, before it self-destructs); and at the company she’s in when she calls anyone else criminals.

Malinowski: A couple of years ago, Vance gave a speech.. The title was universities are the enemy. He said explicitly, we cannot achieve anything in this country as a conservative movement unless we aggressively go after the universities. That's what they're doing right now

How much more corporate malfeasance can we accept??
Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

Harvard has some of the best scientists inventing new ways to early detect and cure cancer. But Trump’s ICE locks them in a detention center— for 2 months!

Credit where credit is due: the Atlantic perfectly goaded the morons in this administration and then sucker punched them with receipts.

Trump is striking the Houthis despite them not having attacked American or international shipping interests since December.

Now they'll retaliate, which is what he wants.

We're living in the worst timeline.
Houthis say children among 32 killed after US fighter jets bomb Yemen
The US raids come after Trump warned that ‘hell will rain down’ if Houthis attacked ships in the Red Sea.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Zelensky's take-down of Brian Glenn over the suit question is underrated.

"Maybe I'll get one after the war. Better than yours. Maybe cheaper."

Low-key told the man he overpaid for a cheap suit.

Don't argue with comedians. They'll destroy you.
