~Senate Moves Toward Ending Shutdown After Democratic Defectors Relent
Why would anyone empower this man? Where is the backbone to support our democracy, the Constitution & the Rule of Law?

Today’s peaceful protests were the perfect example of what @radiofreetom.bsky.social has repeated ad nauseum (only to receive ad hominem attacks):
We are not yet living under fascism.
Many of our current leaders are fascists. But they don’t control us yet and we need to make sure they never do.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Yet another example of the horrendous, illegal actions that our federal government has sanctioned against its own people using ICE.
George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

The amazing thing about the hundreds of billions of dollars being spent on AI development is it doesn't even include all the externalized costs like higher electricity prices for hundreds of millions of people.
AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring
Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

After ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel from the airwaves, many called it censorship. As the journalist @mollyjongfast.bsky.social explains, it is censorship, but not the kind you might think.

The U.S. is blowing boats out of international waters and killing people with impunity. Why are there no repercussions? Where is the international resistance? Where is Congress?
“Responding to Trump’s orders, the military is killing foreign civilians aboard fishing boats with no clear legal authority or justification…The Pentagon has chosen to share almost no information on or justifications for these killings with Congress or the public.”

This is NOT how America works. We need a free press. We must hold our government accountable. Congress must step in and reestablish control.
The new mandate was the latest in a series of actions by the Trump administration to limit the ability of the media to cover the federal government without interference. Read the restrictions:
Read the Pentagon’s New Restrictions on Reporters
The Pentagon said it would forbid reporters from gathering any information that had not been authorized for release, and would revoke press passes from any journalists who did not obey.

I’m still not understanding why the international world isn’t questioning the actions of our administration for taking out a boat full of people in international waters. Is this now legal? Are we safe going out on a boat excursion in the Caribbean during vacation?

This is terribly concerning!! Our workforce relies on quality childcare options…we can’t continue in this direction. Better pay, less onerous regulations, and likely subsidies to make it balance out for all involved!
More than 4,000 licensed in-home child care providers have called it quits over the last decade, and many day care centers are closing, too. It's creating a crisis in which families are in need of affordable child care options, but providers say rising costs make it unsustainable.
Minnesota is losing more child care providers amid rising costs and sticky red tape
More in-home child care providers in Minnesota are calling it quits, and day care centers are closing, leaving parents scrambling to find places for their children to stay while they work or attend classes.

The President of the United States is literally creating crises at home and abroad. This is unprecedented, unwise, and hugely harmful to our country’s reputation.
Congress, you need to step up and end this before we are in a full blown war - at home and/or abroad. Do. Your. Job. Please!
