ILLINOIS GOV. J.B. PRITZKER (D): "If they're gonna cheat, then all of us have to take a hard look at what the effect of that cheating is on democracy . And that means we've all got to stand up and do the right thing. So as far as I'm concerned, everything is on the table."

In a couple of days, there may be someone who speaks up and says, "Hayek was not just wrong, but absurdly so." Does human society indeed exist within an illusion? Is this current illusion merely another bubble inflated once the previous one was burst?

🌱 I have zero regrets switching to an old fashioned reel mower. I'm actually beginning to wonder why we thought a self-propelled lawn mower was a necessity. A reel mower cuts clean, doesn't require gasoline, oil or batteries, and is very easy to push and turn. #gardening #Zone8b

Imagine this is you.

You’re locked in a cell thousands of miles from home. No one knows where you are. No charges. No trial. No end in sight.

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point.

People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change.

James Meredith was born on this day in 1933 in Kosciusko, Miss. The 92-year-old activist was the first African American student to be admitted to the University of Mississippi and was shot during his 220-mile March Against Fear to encourage African Americans to register to vote. /1

This is pretty damn close to history repeating itself, though!

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

Starting July 7, 2025, the National Archives at College Park will shut its doors to the public. Only those with “legitimate business” can enter. A federal records facility—closed to the very public it’s supposed to serve? This should raise eyebrows. It smells BAD.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it?

But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

I bet you can think of someone you have been there for… (Or somone who has been there for you.) Someone, somewhere is still deeply inspired by your kindness and profoundly grateful for the compassion you shared during a challenging time.

Hold people like Mike Lee accountable!!!

Yes @smith.senate.gov!! I’m so glad you did that.

More of us need to follow your lead.
Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.
