I don’t know if these are just words in a box or real stats, but yes, for the love of all who are/that is holy, read a ding-dang book.

I keep hearing that one of America’s biggest problems is we’re “divided and polarized.” What do you think? I share some thoughts on this in my latest Substack. robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-t…

WATCH: “The Boring Company claims Nashville wants their tunnel — but those of us who represent Nashville have known all along how false that is.” Sen. @charlane.oliver & Metro Councilmembers @delishiafornash & @claycapp oppose Elon’s Teslas-only tunnel. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DVexh5m...

…and then follow suit with every member of his administration who was involved with 1/6 in any way. Anyone left should be prosecuted for whatever other crimes against our nation they’ve committed (there are plenty from which to choose).

Why wait for the midterms? Congress should remove the orange menace from office and imprison him based on the 14th amendment, section three:

If your library has NoveList (an enhanced book discovery database that many public libraries offer), you can search by translator. Your librarian should be able to show you how to access and use it.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Well put. This is a solution in search of a nonexistent problem, all to make it far harder for millions to vote. That's vote suppression, folks.
Screenshot of an X.com post by Melanie D’Arrigo (@Darrigo) stating that undocumented immigrants can’t vote and that voter fraud is extremely rare, arguing Trump and Republicans are using a nonexistent problem as an excuse to manipulate future elections. Below is an embedded Aaron Rupar post quoting an NBC question about whether Trump is suggesting the federal government count votes, and a response from Leavitt saying Republicans and Democrats should pass the SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID and proof of citizenship. At the bottom is a TV still of Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing with reporters visible nearby.

I can't think of anything less patriotic than allowing a corrupt pedophile to suspend the constitution so he can murder citizens, enrich himself, and imprison journalists.

"And if we don’t demand that our Democratic state officials gerrymander, purge, publicize, litigate, and employ every other legal method to counter this GOP assault on democracy, we may wake up one day soon and find that, like in Russia and Hungary, the ballot has become meaningless."

🔔 “We’re coming to you from MEMPHIS to alert you of the critical nature of what’s happening right here in NASHVILLE.” Richard Massey says Elon’s xAI pollution is having a “human cost” in Memphis, and with this Tesla Tunnel @GovBillLee is “elevating profit over people” again

Incredibly illuminating story from @billmckibben.bsky.social on unnecessary local permitting barriers -- highly specific to the U.S. -- that make rooftop solar far more expensive than it needs to be: www.motherjones.com/environment/...

Rooftop solar is a clean power miracle. Why are we killing it with red tape?

🦋 HCR: "It’s clear we are indeed in a revolution designed to destroy the government we have known in favor of the radical right-wing government envisioned by those who wrote Project 2025." An outcome that Kamala Harris repeatedly warned of and which Trump repeatedly, and falsely, denied. 🦋

Okay. I used to make reading recommendations for a tech/library company, so I could imagine that resource being scraped for data—but having no clue what input you gave, you’re probably right and I’m just being paranoid/cynical. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My guess is that some person or resource online made a solid recommendation and the AI just stole and delivered it uncredited. But, again, just a guess. I get your reasoning totally tho.

Just like her “replies” to any critical communication from constituents: She writes back as though she’s been complimented instead of taken to task and completely ignores any/all concerns expressed.
