I’d rather the courts rule that a state can’t force a child rape victim to carry a baby to term. I could give fuck all about a tablet on the wall over a 10 yr old with a C-section scar, and made a single mother at 11 years old.This judgement isn’t a ‘win’ to me. I honestly don’t give a fuck…
A major setback for Republicans.

I love my job. Four days on a field trip in west Texas: Marfa, Fort Davis, McDonald Observatory, Orienteering, Herpetology, hikes, and more. The students were wonderful & even performed some Cabin Karaoke.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

🙏🏼 Spend just six minutes of your time with this one, good people, while the 82-year-old Paul McCartney deals in art and genius ...

🙏🏼 Be brave enough to listen to it through the prism of these difficult times.

🙏🏼 It'll break your heart, bring much-needed tears, and fill the well of undying hope ...

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

I spent the weekend traveling with my niece who is in middle school. Every minute of downtime, she got out her schoolwork & did some. She does not get straight As & is in both band & dance. Our students are working much harder than most educators realize.

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.

Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .

Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?

Thoughts ?

@amyklobuchar.com Senator Klobuchar, can you tell all the pissed off Dems here on Bluesky why you and the other Dem senators voted to confirm Marco Rubio as SecState? NOT a rhetorical question!
Are y'all gonna be RESISTING, or capitulating to the felon in office? We're all VERY disappointed!

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass
