And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire"

"Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no-one beside you, you're goin' nowhere"

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

Probably the most important thread going right now

Bobby Kogan @bbkogan.bsky.social · 1d

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

NEW: A huge ice sculpture of the word “DEMOCRACY” is currently melting away in front of the US Capitol.

Organized by artists and activists, it was commissioned by the Up In Arms campaign, an effort led by Ben Cohen, the cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

We don’t know how these gentle souls landed in the slaughter pipeline. The black horse, Captain, has a lot of grey on his face. Old grey, Sawyer, doesn’t need a rider on his back. They both need a soft landing and retirement. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

We’re fundraising for Sawyer & Captain, 2 senior mustangs born in 1997 and 2000. We don’t know how they landed in this kill pen facing shipping to slaughter. Deeply bonded, they’ve been together for decades and we’re determined to save them and keep them together. To Donate: bit.ly/3I1ucWT

If you read one story ahead of tomorrow's Supreme Court argument, make it this one. The fate of the VRA and the 2026 elections potentially hang in the balance. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
