Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Was Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership trying to double participation in No Kings on Saturday or did they just stumble and bumble their way into doing that?

So what do you say, J.D. Vance? You once feared Trump could be the American Adolf Hitler. But that seems to be the hope of the new generation of Republicans you’ve raised. Will you denounce this outbreak of antisemitism, racism and fascism in your party?

🔥🔥🔥 Today at immigration court 26 Federal Plaza this woman went ballistic to the masked ICE agents who detained her family member. Where are the people standing up to the Gestapo? I never saw this in 4 months I’ve been filming. 👏👏👏👏

Here is the Vice President defending adults who said they love Hitler, want to rape their enemies, put their political opponents in gas chambers, and that Black people are monkeys. Just to name a few.

Are these those Christian values JD Vance talks about?

Exodus https://www.wikiart.org/en/marc-chagall/exodus-1966

Marc Chagall's "Exodus" vividly captures the plight and movement of a mass of people under the watchful gaze of a crucified figure at the center, symbolizing both suffering and salvation. This masterpiece, painted between 1952 and 1966, reflects Chagall's exploration of Jewish identity and Biblical themes, rendered in his iconic, dreamlike style.

Bill Clinton didn't treat it much better.

This is the second time in 24 hours he's said something like this. Yesterday he made that quip saying about Karoline Leavit, "those lips --- they move like a machine gun."

He's losing all inhibitions. Not that he ever had many to begin with.

Trump to Milei: "Do you need any Tomahawks in Argentina? You need them for your opposition, I guess, because in this country they use Tomahawks on the opposition. I don't do that. I'm much nicer. The Democrats would use them if they had the chance. They're sick people."

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

I am a 62 y.o. living in New Hampshire with ties to Maine. Janet Mills has been a great governor.

All due respect to the Gov but this is a HUGE miscalculation.

There’s a time for every season. This Midterm Election season is the time for everybody over 70 to get out of the pool.

On my way home I find myself briefly behind a woman with the same hair, way of dressing, shape and even walk of someone I loved hugely who died a long time ago. She crosses the street and I wish we were going the same way to give me more time in a world where I have not lost her.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

food revolution.

Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social · 22h

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.
