happy bday Irish writer Oscar Wilde, b.1854.

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

President Obama endorses Prop 50 — the California redistricting effort:
 
"California, the whole nation is counting on you."
 
"Democracy is on the ballot Nov. 4. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years."

happy bday poet E. E. Cummings, b.1894, Cambridge, MA.

“To be nobody but
yourself in a world
which is doing its best day and night to make you like
everybody else means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.”

Protest organizers are also recommending that you don't lean into antifa.
Another sad day. Another sad piece of news. We will not have good days until this regime is gone.

Portland continues to amaze me 👏
JD stands for Justa Dick. No scruples, no shame. Only ruthless ambition and a deep hunger for power. He'll sell his meemaw to be potus.

“The surest way to screw up the world’s best technical school is to let feds tell them how to run it,” Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie wrote on X. “Congrats to my alma mater for turning down a bribe to let the executive branch dictate what happens on its campus.”
He thinks he can ride high on that vengeful streak indefinitely. A reckoning is on the way.
Leave it to a delusional, broken starving to be validated "president" to think he is on the same caliber as Xi Jinping to make threats 🙄

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.

Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.

A little profanity can show that you're being real and you do give a damn.

Gov. JB Pritzker on ABC: "He certainly has the power of the presidency. He does not have the power to overcome the Constitution. And so am I afraid? I am not afraid. Do I think that he could do it? He might. But as I've said before, come and get me I mean. You're dead wrong, Mr. President."
