Texas House Democrats flee the state to block a vote on new congressional map Texas Republicans proposed a new map that could give the GOP five more seats in Congress after the 2026 midterm election.

๐Ÿšจ Texas Democrats just pulled one of the boldest moves in recent political history: They walked out, got on airplanes, and broke quorum to block a Trump-backed GOP gerrymander. This is democracy on the line โ€” and Texas Dems are fighting with everything theyโ€™ve got.

All the pundits who criticized Biden for his preemptive pardons should be ashamed of themselves. He knew exactly who Trump is

For the other universities watching, the lesson is PLAY OFFENSE. Do not accept the terms of conflict you've been presented. Relentlessly communicate your intention and vision. Engage and challenge those who misrepresent your intentions.

For six months, I've said that threats to economic data have been more collateral damage than intentional harm.

No longer.

Firing the head of the BLS is five-alarm intentional harm to the integrity of US economic data and the entire statistical system.

In a Plot Twist, George Masonโ€™s Politically Embattled President Gets a Raise Gregory Washingtonโ€™s outspoken defense of his diversity efforts and refusal to back down from the Trump administrationโ€™s attacks has drawn widespread support.

GREAT news for Mason's President Washington!!! YAY! He has much support at Mason and in the community. Although I doubt things are 'over' [never should have started], Virginia's BOV made the right call today. Stay tuned!

July 4 - Flood
July 5 - Contracts expired
July 5 - outrage begins
July 10 - Contracts renewed

We all know damn well there was no intention of renewing those contracts. It was only done because of the outrage over this catastrophe

Meditate. Eat well. Exercise. You are not alone; nothing โ€œwrongโ€ with you. They are wrong. Worried for you and all of us who feel similarly. Take care ๐Ÿค—

Republicans, before you vote to close 1 of 4 nursing homes, can you update us on where those people will go?

Maybe call a few seniors in your state and go over plans for where they go next?

Or call the son whose dad has dementia and tell him how he can be a full-time caregiver?

That's still quite disturbing that some folks in small southern towns receive threats of MAGA violence for showing up at #NoKings. Thank you for your courage in showing up anyway. Be safe ~

That Sheriff is a parody of himself. Even so, take him seriously. He seems ready to hurt other people without much provocation โ˜น๏ธ

No Kings Day Protest - Chaska, Minnesota
No Kings Day Protest - Chaska, Minnesota YouTube video by David Erickson

Minnesotans (Chaska) came out strong for #NoKings even after the shootings of their representatives (and family). Listen to the song's lyrics and enjoy watching how democracy and peaceful protests, with a strong supportive police presence, works: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpiK...

The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings" Today's protests are about reestablishing a government of laws, not unaccountable oligarchs.

โ€œWe owe it to ourselves to keep imagining, keep pushing, keep making sure that we have No Kings, in name or just in deed, ever again.โ€
