Billionaires and the corporations they run are raking in massive profits while refusing to pay their employees enough to afford healthcare. Tax the rich. Tax the billionaire corporations. Raise the wage.

Teaching responsible AI is essential, especially at a time when each week millions of people voice mental health concerns to LLMs. Kudos to UW iSchool faculty teaching responsible AI. Join me in making a gift to the Next Gen fund to ensure critical work like this continues: tinyurl.com/4ypzwrpa

It's #NationalLibraryWeek! Take time to discover what brings you joy at your library: browse the shelves, join a book club, attend a program, or get started on your next creative project in a makerspace. Be sure to visit your library or ilovelibraries.org and celebrate your library all week long!

What happened in Minneapolis today was absolutely horrific. ICE is not making our communities safer — they are putting innocent lives in harm’s way. We must put a stop to this.

Democrats are in DC, ready to negotiate and make a deal that cancels Trump and Republicans’ cuts, lowers costs, and saves health care for the American people. But Mike Johnson chose to send House Republicans home. Republicans are shutting the government down.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Even Republicans in Congress are pointing out Trump doesn't seem to realize the bill slashes hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid which he says is a taboo. Why are they doing this? No one can say.

What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.

I'll never look at my Matilija poppies and Bergenia in the same way after this morning's enlivening NHS talk. So many unexpected insights, from the history of lavender in my home state (WA), to the moving story of artist Clementine Hunter. #northwesthorticulturalsociety #horticultureforall

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Trump and Elon talk about “protecting American jobs,” but they’re currently trying to kill 2 million of them. Civil servants do cancer research, keep our air and water clean, are vital to our national security, and support our economy. They must be protected. thehill.com/regulation/c...
