Banning books in schools was the first step. Now we’re like North Korea.

This cover of “America” is quite touching.
A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: A few days ago, the young folk duo Jack & Daisy (they're British but live in Spain) put out this cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "America." See you around.

He’s talking about fellow Americans who disagree politically.
Video from today’s Mike Lawler town hall. While people are being forcibly removed for loudly disagreeing, this man gleefully chants, “Beat her up! Deport her! Kill her!”
These are scary times for our country.(He was not removed)

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?
🧵
NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

The Republican led House and Senate gave Trump permission to act unilaterally on tariffs … and can reverse its decision. The GOP owns this.
This.
No, Trump isn't cratering our economy. The entire Republican Party is cratering our economy. The enablers deserve just as much blame as Trump.

Goldberg on Waltz: "This isn't The Matrix. Phone numbers don't just get sucked into other phones. I don't know what he's talking about ... my phone number was in his phone because my phone number was in his phone. He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

They are hurting disabled people too.
The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

Murphy is leader we need right now. Heed his warning.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.
