WSU stops VA on their first drive with a three and out, then drives the field and scores on a 33-yd TD pass. Cougs lead #18 Virginia, in Virgina 7-0!

Lesson 2: Defend Institutions from @timothysnyder.bsky.social’s “On Tyranny.”

Freedom depends on the strength of our institutions — courts, press, elections, public service. Support them, criticize them honestly, and refuse to let apathy be complicity. Democracy won’t defend itself.

BikeLoud blindsided by council rejection of bike bill lawsuit settlement

It illustrates another example of tension between the city's administrative and legislative arms.

I have a limo picking me up. I could have walked, but since Soros was footing the bill, why not?

Thanks to the generosity of George Soros, I took an Uber Black instead of the subway to the No Kings rally. Glory!

My opposition to Israel is rooted in their genocidal actions in Gaza.

Their apartheid treatment of Palestinians, their war crimes, their victim card, and their continuous and excessive use of massive US taxpayer funded assistance pisses me off.

Gravel Influencer @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 13h

I'm glad the rest of BlueSky is learning what a total fucking hack Jeff Jacoby is.

Framing Moulton's stance, which includes not acknowledging that Israel is committing genocide, as "hostility" is truly ridiculous.

A columnist at the Boston Globe accuses Seth Moulton of singling out Israel because it is a Jewish state after Moulton announced he is no longer accepting AIPAC support

Being married to Donald J. Trump has to be one of the most demeaning jobs an immigrant could have.

Yes, there are some benefits to being rich, though if one has any integrity, the cons far outweigh the comforts.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 15h

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Thank you. I posted that pic because I liked how the nation was mostly covered with events.

We will be at our local event here in Portland, Oregon.

Be safe, have a great time, stop fascism!

This guy is a fucking grifter. I saw people in my own subreddit lauding him as a hero for being briefly detained and cited by ICE.

The money he is raising will not be used to hurt the administration. Those kind of lawsuits don't work that way. You are shotgunning cash into a void.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Read @brianbeutler.bsky.social: "It’s also, to my mind, the most urgent calling of our lives. The stakes are nothing less than whether the most militarily powerful nation in the history of the planet becomes a rogue dictatorship."

No Kings

We aren't subjects; we're free. That's the whole fight—now, and for the future.
