Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.

So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A photo of a sign that says national library week books unbanned read-in, in front of the sign a handholds the book in the night kitchen by Maurice Sendack. The cover has a kid in an Airplane flying over New York City. assign says : “censorship is a threat to democracy. A vocal minority is restricting access to books and ideas. Public libraries stand for the right to read a long enduring American value.” in front of the sign a hand holds the book “ to kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. The cover has a tree on it. A sign reads: books unbanned; get a free library card. Ages 13 to 21? No matter where in the US you live you can get a free library card to access our entire digital collection no questions asked. There is a QR code to scan below the statement. A sign reads: “censorship is a threat to democracy. A vocal minority is restricting access to books and ideas. Public library stand for the right to read, a long and enduring American value. “ in front of the sign a hand holds the book “the giver” by Lois Lowry

Book #8 of the Year was an Agatha Christie Mystery. It had all the twists and turns of a standard Christie Mystery but the comic relief of costumes and fake identities, made it a super cozy read. 10/10 #book #vacationread #mysterynovel #agathachristie #cozymysterybooks #booksky
A photo of a hand holding Agatha Christie‘s book titled “Why didn’t they ask Evans?” behind the book is a fireplace with a fire going and a table with a candle on it. The book cover features a young man and woman, dressed in 1930s clothing looking off into the distance.

Book #8 “Miranda in Retrograde” The main character is a TypeA astronomer who is challenged by her best friend to try living by horoscopes for 1 year. I liked the questions that were posed about what we allow to define us in our pursuit of happiness #books #mirandainretrograde #bookreview #booksky
The Book “Miranda in Retrograde” by Lauren Layne is held up by a hand in front of a floral blue and red wallpaper. The cover features a woman with a telescope sitting on a roof, looking over at a man painting her from another roof. The Manhattan skyline is in the distance.

I just got back from my Amsterdam trip and I can’t say enough how lovely it was. More photos to come but here was a snapshot of my 3rd day in the city. (Also yes I did buy books there and finished 2 abroad). #amsterdam #booksky #travel #europeadventure
three people examine plants in a cobblestone square that has been set up as a flower market. A row of houseboats on the left with their gang planks, reaching out to a brick street that a woman with a yellow jacket and a man with a backpack walk along. The closest houseboat is green and white and is flying a Palestinian flag that has wrapped around the pole. A canal in Amsterdam with a red boat, turning towards the right to exit the picture frame. Directly ahead is a bridge that connects two streets full of old Amsterdam homes. A red brick building stretches across the back with a blue sky above. a cobblestone and brick walkway leads up to the building with white benches green grass and trees on either side.

My first day in Amsterdam I stumbled through the gates of Beginhof. It has been a home to Single Women since 1346. The Beguines were a group of Charity workers overseen by a Nun but not part of a convent. They made wool, lace & cared for the sick up until 1970s #amsterdam #beginhof #womenshistory

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Despite the chaos, the vote today, the disappointments, there's progress, courts are pushing these bastads back & much of the damage they've done, is already being undone.
