“Children are dying while 6,000 trucks with food wait a few miles away,” say CPC leaders Reps. Greg Casar, Ilhan Omar and Chuy Garcia. “We demand Trump use U.S. leverage to ensure that Israel fully restores international aid access to Gaza. It is not too late to save millions of lives.”

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Furious. Absolutely furious. And even more incensed than I was when we marched and protested during the freezing cold winter of 2002-2003.
Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons.

My best Costco story happened the day before Philly's COVID lockdown. Shelves were almost bare but employees were helping folks get what they needed wherever possible. Insane lines were managed skillfully by ONE person with a headset.
The employees are absolutely LOVELY.
Did a Costco run yesterday and every single employee was a goddamn delight.

"Nazis used trains, ICE uses planes" is one of the most powerful statements I've seen.
New — I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). It’s also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home.
Cook tells me about how the small town is taking on enormous power to bring the students home:

Spending my spring break as an elementary educator AT HOME. I actually feel, dare I say, rested?! My 12 yr old son and I went to an aquarium to see the hippos and built Legos and listened to audiobooks and went for walks. Felt like hoarding joy in the best way. ❤️

so is it the official view of the white house that race is a biological reality?
I’m not linking to the damn thing, here:
![For example, the Smithsonian American Art Museum today features “The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture,” an exhibit representing that “[s]ocieties including the United States have used race to establish and maintain systems of power, privilege, and disenfranchisement.” The exhibit further claims that “sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism” and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating “Race is a human invention.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f4d76fjna5nxqsy2fu6cgmp3/bafkreihc3vsdrvtmlyrp4aix3zpcbqvgeplnz3vis6p5itlxtmo5b5lwpy@jpeg)

I do wish this was more part of the story.
This jibes with contemporary reporting that the raids hit several residential buildings, in each case killing about 15 people and wounding more. Maybe a little more of the conversation should be about how cavalier we apparently are about bombing civilian homes? www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/...

IMLS is the Institute of Museum and Library Services. It's about $200 million per year for libraries and $50 million for museums. Not a lot for the federal budget, but a huge piece of the culture and knowledge system - which is why MAGA is eliminating it.
This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Criminal. I have a personal attachment to IMLS bc almost 20 yrs ago I received a grant, initiated by Laura Effing Bush of all people, that fully funded my masters and got me a job in a city library. I was one of dozens who benefited. Funding has eroded over the years but this death knell hits hard.
Yesterday the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services was required to be "eliminated to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law," and required to "reduce the performance of their statutory functions and associated personnel to the minimum presence and function required by law"

I left a message saying "The vote on cloture MUST BE NO. The Fake out to the 30 CR JUST SO Republicans can pass their bill with 51 votes is treachery. The vote must be NO."
Feel free to us my script. :)

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
