Sign ideas for No Kings 2:

Frivolity, not fear
Melting ICE with merriment
Deflate Trump
Frogs, not pedos
Bull froggish on democracy
Unicorns are more real than a GOP health plan

Speaker Mike Johnson lies so routinely, one would think he would be better at it by now.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.

It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

NEW: Following public outcry, the Department of Education has reversed its decision to cut funding for students who have both hearing and vision loss, opting instead to reroute grants to an organization that will provide funding to these students.

The absence of media

CajunBlueAZ ⚜️🇺🇸 🇺🇦 @cajunblue.bsky.social · 15h

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Good Trouble Indiana @goodtroubleindiana.org · 2d

Public health is infrastructure. And every $1 spent on prevention saves up to $5.60 in health costs. So why does Indiana underfund it? We need budgets that reflect care, not crisis.
