Hi Dems, don’t think that millions of Muslims - & not just Muslims but anti-racist liberal & leftist Americans - don’t hear the deafening silence from most of you as the Muslim Democratic mayor of New York is being smeared and attacked by the GOP and right-wing media over 9/11.

Trump’s puppets let ACA tax credits expire. Wisconsin premiums exploded 58% overnight. William Garcia's daughter needed brain surgery at 11 and will need care for the rest of her life. Corrupt Republicans ripped away the coverage that kept a child alive. It’s unforgivable.

Ossoff: "Mike Collins needs to release every communication -- email, text message, phone record, encrypted chat -- between his office, his chief of staff, and those white supremacists, and he needs to release those communications today ... there is no place for white nationalism in the Senate"

I wrote a column some years ago about how the dying off of Holocaust survivors and educators has contributed to the rise of contemporary fascism. The same goes for the people who *fought* fascists. This is a real thing. Living memory is powerful.
You could argue, correctly I think, that the current willingness to tear down the post war order is rooted in the fact the folks who could tell you why it was built are almost all gone.
There’s been surprisingly little about how we are in the very last years of living memory of service in WW2.

The measure of a society is how it invests in its children.
For decades, I have advocated for Head Start because every child deserves a strong start in life. Today, I stand with the more than 100 civil rights and child advocacy organizations opposing efforts to dismantle the program from within.

Infantino is a low life, a totally corrupt reprobate. Both he and FIFA are unashamedly corrupt. If they get away with this, international football as we know it is finished. It's time for a breakaway. Repost if you agree.
From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: FIFA has announced plans to sell a large minority stake in the World Cup. Under the plan, FIFA’s total development funding would top $10 billion over the next four years. Unsurprisingly, the idea is the brainchild of FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
FIFA plans to sell a stake in the World Cup: How much for and why is Gianni Infantino doing it?
The proposal has been widely criticized, with European soccer's governing body UEFA saying it "crosses a line."

This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy.

People used to call me alarmist when I said that Trump would make Americans poorer, the world less safer, and US higher education in particular a wreck

For nearly a decade, the Pentagon was warned—by its own contractors, analysts, and intelligence agencies—that anyone with a credit card could buy a map of where American troops sleep, work, and store nuclear weapons. Now the bill has come due in a war zone.

The Pentagon Knew Enemies Could Track Troops’ Phones for Years. Now They Are
The US military has long known that cheap fixes could stop location data from exposing its troops. It adopted almost none—and now says adversaries are using the data to target soldiers during a war.

the absolute size of the national debt gets overstated in importance, but it changes the dynamic when (a) the underlying spending *isn't* being invested in infrastructure, science, and the long-term health and well-being of people and (b) the US is internationally viewed as unstable and unreliable

RFK Jr. has fired every single CDC Vessel Sanitation Program inspector, who investigate cruise ship outbreaks.
This comes as the deadly Hantavirus rapidly spreads on a cruise ship at sea.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Today in 1977 began the 504 sit-ins by disabled people. The protest was the longest occupation of a federal building and a reminder that our human rights and access protections were not gifts from the ableds, but fought for by us, and in this instance with a big assist from the Black Panther party.

In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist
