Today, Illinois Gov. Pritzker signed into law the Safe at Home Act. The law is a major step in keeping unsecured firearms away from children.

The law goes into effect next year.

In May, our Paul Nestadt joined @oneaimil.bsky.social's Yolanda Androzzo writing in support of the bill.

How many more flagrant breaches to the rule of law must the citizens of the United States endure before Congress will do it's job. The judiciary can not do it alone. How much more must we tolerate?

On April 4, Trump claimed Nazis showed “love” to Jewish prisoners. This isn’t a gaffe—it’s Holocaust distortion. He’s reframing genocide to serve fascism. If we let him rewrite the past, he’ll rewrite the future. This is a moral catastrophe. We must speak out—loudly.

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?"

This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there.

He has some thoughts.

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one.

And since Little Marco doesn’t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is.

He thought it was a great idea to share. So now, if you arenrepresented by a member of the GOP you can have o e of their staff members come to listen to your concerns so your elected officials don't have to be bothered or upset and possibly have their actions reflect your needs! Yay for us!

I guess when I told Tim Scott(no, I didn't vote for him, but that shouldn't matter, I am a constituent none the less)that he appeared to not care about the needs of his constituents and appeared to make no pretense of displaying an interest, not only did he think it was a great observation,

This is the story.
DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

HELLO, CONGRESS
HELLO, ANYBODY HOME? You can't put out the fire without turning on the water and dumping a bunch of salt. The last time they broke in and destroyed as much as they could, but there were heros to stop them. Now they are just burning the whole thing down.

#booksky have stayed connected to a friend who has lost the ability to read by reading aloud. Not only does it connect us in a special way ,it is a special way to experience books. Have read everything from Geraldine Brooks to Toni Morrison to Stephen King. Sometimes her choice, sometimes mine.

Just finished Whiskey Tender by Deborah Jackson Taffa. An amazing personal account of her family as she was growing up and being torn between wanting to know about her Native.American culture and a family pushing the importance of assimilation
