BREAKING: The Kamala Harris campaign just released their first ad. Retweet to make sure every American knows who Kamala Harris is and what is at stake this November.

[April Ajoy @aprilajoyr]

Two things can be true:

Trump should have never been shot at. The attempt on his life is atrocious and should absolutely be condemned.

And

Trump should not be president because of the hateful and authoritarian language he's used the last 8 years.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

A Christian movement that demands its fellow citizens be held accountable to the strictest of Biblical laws while simultaneously not wanting its preferred presidential candidate to be held accountable to any law is embodying the height of both political and religious hypocrisy.

READ: The final words in Justice Sotomayor's dissent:

"Never in the history of our Republic has a President had reason to believe that he would be immune from criminal prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal law. Moving forward, however, all former Presidents will be cloaked in such immunity. If the occupant of that office misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop.

"With fear for our democracy, I dissent."

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

I'd just like to point out that, for 250 years, American presidents didn't need to ask for immunity.

[Jasmine Crockett @JasmineForUS]

It is clear that no one is coming to save us! This Supreme Court is anything but SUPREME! I can’t believe the cultist consolidation of power that is taking place before our eyes; IN AMERICA!

This most recent ruling, along with so many others, is dangerous as shit especially for a guy that says I’ll be your Retribution! A guy that we know has no problems breaking the law was just told how to do it and face no consequences! He can order MURDER without consequence & his attorneys argued this!

Trump has taken over the judiciary, he’s running the legislative branch, & the last move is to get back to the White House. 🤯

If you aren’t frightened, you aren’t paying attention.

SCOTUS: homeless people can’t sleep outside

SCOTUS: POTUS can’t forgive student debt

SCOTUS: women don’t have autonomy over their bodies

SCOTUS: EPA can’t regulate the water

SCOTUS: POTUS can assassinate his political opponent

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

This is why Republicans work so hard to keep history out of schools. They don’t want white children to know what their parents and grandparents did.

[Mercedes Cunningham @Benzgrl2015]

This should terrify you.

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

John Oliver on Project 2025 and a second Trump term.

I was going to clip this segment out into shorter sections but decided to keep it together because it's too important and, frankly, it should terrify you.

[Twins Player Development @TwinsPlayerDev]

David Festa continued to rack up strikeouts in the @StPaulSaints win 👊

6 IP / 4 H / 2 R / 0 BB / 10 K

He has the highest K% in AAA (min. 50 IP) and he is also the youngest player to record double digit strikeouts three different times this season at AAA or above📈

[Miranda @DoomScroling]

There are 17 gop states suing the federal government over the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. The act protects access to very basic things, among which are:

- bathroom breaks
- access to water
- being able to sit or stand as needed
- allowing for lactation

So let's be clear, in gop states with unethical abortion bans where women are forced to go through pregnancy, the gop want to be able to not only disregard EMTALA, but they also want to get rid of very basic work place protections for those who are pregnant.

From a Teacher ❤️ ✏️

Today I was running low on pencils so I asked all of my kids to pull out any of my pencils that they had in their desks. I had one student ask me if he could keep his pencils that his mom gave him for school. Of course, I said yes.

He then said, “well, I guess I’ll give you a few so my classmates can have them too.” I thought nothing of it and took the pencils that he handed me. When I was sharpening them, I noticed writing on a few of them. I then realized that my student’s mother took the time to write on his pencils. I asked him if he would mind showing me the rest of them.

What I read melted my heart:
- You are so talented.
- This will be a great year.
- You are creative.
- You are phenomenal.
- Never give up.
- You can do this.
- You are knowledgeable.
- You are a math whiz.
- You are intelligent.
- Proud of you everyday.
- I love you.
- You have a brilliant mind.
- You are wonderful.
- You are a problem solver.
- Follow your dreams.
- You are perfect.
- I am proud of you.
- You will change the world.
- You are amazing.
- You are the best.
- You are important.

-This probably took his mom a few minutes to do yet it lit up his whole day at school. He wasn’t embarrassed that his mom wrote on his pencils. Thanks to his mom, he was reminded of his self worth and wanted to share the same feeling with his classmates.

- THESE are the things that we should be reminding our kids (both parents AND teachers). Imagine the look on a child’s face when they are reminded that they are important, talented, loved, knowledgeable and so much more.

- Help them know that someone believes in them and is proud of them in everything they do. Even if you think it is cheesy or you don’t have enough time or that you will have little impact, remember that you may be the only one telling and reminding them these things and EVERY kid needs to know their value. This is why I teach. ❤️❤💜💜😀⭐
