I’ll never understand how America went from Barack Obama to Donald Trump.
From dignity, empathy, and competence
to grievance, cruelty, and chaos.
It wasn’t an accident.
It was backlash.
Backlash to having a smart, principled, wildly popular Black president who proved this country could be better.
And some people couldn’t stand it.
The homeowner saw on the security camera that a bear was playing on the outdoor swing every day, but couldn't get on.
So he had a bigger swing built, and this was the result...
The fact my new library card came to me hand addressed made me really happy. I can't explain it. @EdmondsLibrary

UPDATE—Father protests after ICE raid elementary bus stop.
"I've never protested before in my entire life," he says emotional.
"But then I watched 4th and 5th grade kids run away from their own government."
"I never want to see a child run away from our own government again."
Protesters took to the frozen lakes in Minneapolis Friday to broadcast a message of distress to the world, spelling out "SOS."

I just listened to @kennyg appear as an expert to explain how to avoid motion sickness while he happened to be brushing his teeth, and then transition into pulling out his horn to play an impromptu tune. It it was all so interesting and random. PEAK @NPR#HTDA
I am aware on the most recent episode of Tucker Carlson's show a subject of conversation with his guest was my weight - particularly how fat I am.
Yes, I am very fat, I'm almost 9 months pregnant with my third child. I am also very happy.
I don't care how many times Tucker talks about being a Christian, that is not Christian behavior to engage in such a conversation on one of the largest podcasts in the world. This kind of meanness to women and hypocrisy is a classic example of why the right has such a problem with women voters of my generation.
Don't feel bad for me, people have been calling me fat since I started in media at age 22. It is old, lazy, tired.
I don't make my living off of ugliness like that and truly can't fathom what life is like for anyone who does. It must be very dark.
A Must Watch! This is a montage of 19 clips showing Trump treating female Journalists like crap! He attacks them because he thinks they’re easy prey while berating and insulting them! This is their job & he shows the kind of person he really is and it’s disgusting! 🤬
CNN’s Anderson Cooper spent the first eleven minutes of his show covering this last night and even put out the key parts here on this platform. Journalism. Bravo.
Hey @Labcorp why do you even say drop ins are a part of your service?I’ve been waiting TWO HOURS, just go ahead and say an appointment is mandatory. ��
🚨 NEW: Netflix secretly recorded an interview with Dr. Jane Goodall in March, set to air only after her death.
In it, she says she wishes Trump and Elon Musk could be blasted into space… and closes with:
“Don’t lose hope.”
Now that’s a final message.
We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.
