That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

NOT coal miners

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate—
You’ve got to be carefully taught!
You’ve got to be carefully taught!

“You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear,
You’ve got to be taught from year to year,
It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear
You’ve got to be carefully taught

You’ve got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a different shade

Over 700,000 southern Arizonans still don’t have representation in Congress, more than three weeks after we elected @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Democracy means honoring the will of the people. Speaker Johnson must do the right thing and swear her in so she can get to work.

Happy Birthday, George Floyd. Today, we honor the life and memory of George Perry Floyd Jr. His name is a powerful reminder that the fight for justice, dignity, and equality for all must continue. We remember his life and commit to working toward a world where no one has to say, "I can't breathe."

Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

Trump cut a program that gave free black lung screenings to coal miners.

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 7h

Coal miner's wife on Trump's deregulation of black lung protections:

“They’re mining a lot more now, the coal trucks are running, but there’s no benefits for the coal miners coming in... The coal miners have supplied this country with electricity, and now they’re just cast aside to die”

And just like that, Governor Pritzker saves the day. Received a second email saying Illinois now has its OWN health insurance Marketplace. JB said he’s been state proofing IL from Trump & his cronies & he meant it. A Democrat doing all the right things every day. Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov

♥️Monana (Monica) @vintagewingnut.bsky.social · 7h

Was informed I’m being kicked off the Marketplace & will no longer be covered by the ACA in 2026, which is the only insurance I could (barely) afford. It’s either close my business & get an office job, or have no health insurance. This is happening to millions of Americans. Republicans are soulless
