I appreciate @mlipsitt.bsky.social's focus on children, all the children.

This fight against fascism has to center them.

For their school lunches and vaccines, a place to call home.

For a planet they can live on.

Thanks, Marcie, for a starter pack that energizes us to protect them.

Thank God, I was always so concerned about the financial wellbeing of these senior bankers!

I am so happy that BoE is solving the big problems first!

I can only assume that the genius behind this was halfway his (probably not her) 8 year “waiting” period, right?

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

CNN, Fox News, NPR, Newsmax, and over a dozen other outlets refuse to accept the Trump regime’s demands on restricting Pentagon reporting: “The public has a right to know how the government and military are operating.”

US news outlets reject Pentagon press access policy

At least 20 news organizations declined to sign a new Pentagon access policy for journalists, warning of the potential for less comprehensive coverage of the world’s most powerful military ahead of a Tuesday deadline to accept new restrictions.

This should be considered everywhere. They are kidnapping, abusing, harassing and threatening people who have rights. Every single one of them have rights and they are ignored. What they’re doing is unconstitutional and illegal.
Payback will come.

I meant of course “lose track” instead of “lost track”.

My bad, my apologies!

Was it me or did the media lost track of the number of Palestinian deaths some time around December 2023?
