Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

I think sometimes I go walking, just to capture the sunsets. 😊

#Walkingsky
The evening sky glows with golden light breaking through thick clouds. Sun rays stream over a quiet road lined with power poles and trees, as the sun sets behind the hills; a moment caught mid-walk, where sky and stillness meet.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

The CBC did this too. And at first, I said oh, this is just indeliberate copied-off-someone-else's-paper pure sloppiness; and then it thought about it and realized it was going to be policy, deliberate editorial policy, to describe the two groups of hostages differently

This, and copy from places like CNN that use “Israeli hostages” and “Palestinian prisoners and detainees” in the same sentence.

Very jarring how the media treats some lives as inherently and others not.

I am happy for hostages and their families to be reunited, but it’s shocking how little media attention is given to “how do Gazans grapple with the utter destruction of their homes, vast loss of lives, and ongoing famine.”

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

"This magazine is old enough to have fought McCarthyism the first time, alongside great journalists such as the CBS broadcaster Edward R. Murrow, who counseled Americans not to be 'driven by fear into an age of unreason.'"

We Defeated McCarthyism Before. We Can Do It Again.
It’s easy to feel despair about what looks like a new age of government censorship. But being around for 160 years gives you perspective.

Genuinely how much of Christianity needs to be suborned to genocidal right-wing pedophiles before we stop accepting the defense "not true Christians"

Like this certainly seems to be what true Christianity is

RFK Jr. is pushing partisan politics and conspiracy theories over science and facts.

A bipartisan group of ACTUAL doctors and experts sounded the alarm on how dangerous it is to have RFK Jr. at the helm of the nation's health care system.
