Finding places in Northern Michigan that are beautiful beyond words! Still searching for another new GSD Puppy!

A child shot nine people at an Oxford, Michigan, high school today - killing three - and pundits will say the solution is MORE GUNS.

It’s a failed experiment: There are 400M guns in the hands of civilians here. If more guns made us safer, we’d be the safest nation in the world.

Still struck by this: Genevieve Hansen, the off-duty firefighter on the scene as George Floyd died, said she stayed on scene after Floyd was taken away bc she worried about the Black people and people of color --like Donald Williams -- possibly being hurt by remaining police.

Fetishizing guns over human life is madness.

If we had a Stacey Abrams in each of the 50 states, we'd never lose another election again.

Since the Universe has no center, you can’t be it.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This week in Congress:

Dems: Passed $1.9T COVID package to deliver stimulus checks (w/ dependents!), cut child poverty in half, extend $300 UI, prevent cuts in state + local services, largest-ever investment in Native communities, etc

GOP: Took a week to read The Cat in the Hat

If “Thank Trump” is trending on Twitter and he’s not there to see it, does it make a sound?

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Have to say, I’m pretty glad we elected Joe Biden instead of Donald Trump.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

It was immediately obvious that Republicans would pretend to be offended by the Neanderthal comment and compare it to deplorables. Hopefully after four years of celebrating Trump's Twitter attacks and locker room talk, these jokers get asked about the hypocrisy in real time.

[Bradley Whitford @bradleywhitford]

Pushing policies that unnecessarily kill your own constituents is a core value of today’s @GOP. Pro-life, my ass.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

CPAC wasn't about covid relief, taxes, regulation or really any policy. It was old men complaining about The Muppets or their follower counts. The MAGA/Fox News world is entirely focused on culture war fights. We get to decide whether or not to amplify or engage with that idiocy.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

Voters in Georgia and across the country have suffered from state-sponsored voter suppression for too long. With tonight’s passage of HR 1, we will be closer to ensuring our elections will be fair and free—no matter your skin color or zip code.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Italy, South Korea and now France have all convicted and sentenced their corrupt former presidents.

Just saying.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I don’t care what Cruz said at CPAC, but I do care that it appears Texas was just a layover stop for him between Cancun and Orlando to drop a pack of water into someone’s trunk and abandon his constituents again as they get slammed with $16,000 electrical bills.

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

I love that Trump can’t tweet.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Reconnecting with an old pal. Anyone know where we can get Razzles in Canada?

[The Daily Beast @thedailybeast]

EXCLUSIVE: A pickup truck parked at the U.S. Capitol and bearing a Three Percenter militia sticker on the day of the Jan. 6 riot belongs to the husband of freshman U.S. Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois, who approvingly quoted Adolf Hitler a day earlier https://t.co/SWSQhuQDqL

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

If the GOP filibusters the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, then we must call it what it is: The Jim Crow party.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Ted Cruz voted against Sandy relief for New York. New York’s congresswoman, @AOC, just raised over $3 million for organizations in Texas.

The two parties are not the same.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Republicans could trip over their own shoelaces and they’d still find a way to blame me, immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, the Green New Deal, BLM, anything but accept responsibility for their own actions and dealings.

Ineptitude, bigotry, and corruption. Disasters in their own right.
