I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

Got a little choked up reading this and remembering the kindness Canadians showed to Americans after 9/11. Something worth keeping in mind as our president publicly trashes a nation that had been our closest ally.

Removing the gas tax doesn't target fossil fuel companies. If anything, it helps them by making it more likely consumers buy gas.

Imagine calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists” and calling immigrants “animals” then turning around and telling people they are the ones who need to “tone down their rhetoric.”

Everything here is true! We need to celebrate small and find joy in competent. Save up for a home repair? Then take a moment every day to look at whatever it is and say, I’m so glad my washer works. Or whatever. Just decide to find joy in it.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

The United States is behaving in a way that is indistinguishable from how an advanced Third Reich would had it emerged victorious from World War 2, and nearly every leader in the developed world is now abandoning their duty to confront it, having acclaimed and legitimated it every step of the way.

I just don’t get this. I’m all for “everyone’s friends” where are all on the same reality and disagree. That’s not what Boebert specifically and GOP generally have been at for the last 15+ years. Why would Polis give that cover? Good grief.

Yikes, here's a HUGE story that it seems not enough folks are reporting on yet. Drone swarms of unknown origin this month apparently attacked an important Air Force base—"the first time a US airbase was temporarily put out of operation in wartime, something that never happened even in World War II."

Mullin is so clearly unqualified to run DHS that any senator who votes to put this man in charge of any federal agency, let alone DHS, is announcing their own disqualification for office.

Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions. If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.
