no feet to fall
you need no ground
allowed to glide
right through the sun
released from circles
guarded tight
now we all are chosen ones
NOW WE ALL ARE CHOSEN ONES
This autocrat is making a credible threat of genocide for all the world to see. Do his enablers have no shame? They sit by and profit off his murderous disregard for humanity.
It’s past time to invoke the 25th amendment and remove him from office. Nothing short of war crime trials await him.
Like millions of women, I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
My prognosis is positive, and this is not deterring me in my fight for the rights of all North Carolinians. I’m staying in the race to keep my seat on the Court and continuing to serve as your Justice.
I’ve known Roy Cooper for 25 years, and I’m proud to call him my friend. He’ll make an amazing Senator for us. Here’s one North Carolina vote he can count on next year.
Handed to Trump on a silver platter: Tons of private data to help him target, harass, and punish his political enemies.
Zero factual justification given for why DOGE needs this data.
This should terrify every American.
I'm not sure I've ever seen such a brutal distributional analysis from CBO. This contrasts the Medicaid and SNAP cuts for the lowest decile with the tax cuts for the top decile.
Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on "colleagues and friends in organized labor" who argue tariffs can be used strategically:
"That’s a discussion that can be had when we are in a period of actually being able to debate policy in an enlightened way. That’s not this moment."
Earlier this week, we welcomed Durham City Councilmembers Javiera Caballero & Carl Rist to MOWD for #CommunityChampionsWeek
They delivered meals to an entire route of homebound senior clients.👏Thank you @Javiera4Durham & @carlfordurham for supporting our mission to #EndtheWait!
@newbiedm My 13 year old asked me to put together a D&D campaign for him and his friends and I’m seriously considering going with 4e. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(it could also be the fact that the last campaign I DM’ed was 4e lol)
@moorehn That is surprising!
Also this video clearly shows something that bothers me so much when we go to church here. THIS TILE SHOULD BE BLACK! 😡
(yes I notice it every time and no I am not normal 😂)
Please listen to Stephanie Nolen. Seriously, actually listen. And think. Reflect that maybe you don’t understand US foreign aid the way you think you do.
Seriously, actually stop and think.
Seriously.
“@K.M Thanks for reading. I know many people share the view that it is inappropriate for the United States to spend money to assist developing countries when there are people struggling to access health care or other assistance at home. The thing that I think this perspective misses, based on my many years of reporting on this subject, is that much of the U.S. spending is not altruistic. It's done to directly serve the interests of the United States. The U.S. funds almost all disease surveillance in Africa, for example – and yes, that protects Africans, but it also protects Americans, who are much safer when Ebola or a new mpox strain are detected while still in Uganda or D.R.C., rather than when they have traveled with a passenger bound for Kansas. The U.S. funds tuberculosis treatment in poor countries because Americans are less safe if extremely drug resistant strains of TB are permitted to evolve and spread. U.S. agencies do many clinical trials in developing countries. Supporting primary health care in very fragile states helps maintain peace. I could list 1,000 examples of how this spending directly contributes to U.S. national security. Is money spent to support these kinds of projects then actually money spent to assist Americans? (It also doesn't hurt to maintain an international image as a country interested in partnership, when seeking places for military bases or a friendly environment for U.S. mining companies, for example.)”
