Things just keep getting more bizarre. The propaganda machine is in full swing the Transportation Security Administration has asked airports to display a video message from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown.

Bluesky user philip.health‬: You think we should provide free healthcare to people in the States illegally? ‪Bluesky user dochocson.bsky.social‬: Yes, because they're people. ‪Bluesky user philip.health‬: Should we give free healthcare to all people in the world, regardless of where they live? They are people as well. ‪Bluesky user biden2028.bsky.social‬: Sounds good. Bluesky user philip.health‬: I guess we're in absurdville in the nutball part of bsky.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Garcia: It’s really shocking for him to essentially lean into this possibility of a pardon. And we know why that’s the case, right? He wants to control what she says. He wants her—someone who has a ton of information on what actually happened—to perhaps… omit memories she might have of the president

If you read only one democracy story today, make it this one. While legacy media largely skipped the Texas redistricting hearing, Democracy Docket's Jen Rice was there for all 10 days. Her coverage stands out and sheds insight into how the GOP operates -- not only in TX -- but nationally.
In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps
Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

OBAMA: “Better’s good… we’re not gonna get to perfect. Do I think single-payer with no profit motive would’ve been smarter? Absolutely.”

President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

I'll only speak for myself...

A dark (abusive/violent) childhood that nearly killed me (father tried to kill me & suicidal attempts)

Bullied at home which caused extensive damage & at school for being Jewish, a nerd, mental illnesses, etc.

I vowed to be a better person & advocate for other people
Some people are mean and bitter because they had a rough childhood. Some people are kind and caring for the same reason.

Bessent: "The Chinese have unfortunately turned our soybean farmers into pawns. They're trying to manipulate them and our farmers overwhelmingly back President Trump. They know that he has their back. And we can't implement the programs we want to stabilize the farmers' finances."
