Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for.
This isn’t what a kid’s entertainer should feel the need to do, but since we’re here, more ppl should.
Feeling chatty and want to talk to someone about why this matters?
Call your Council Member and tell them directly that you demand they fund our libraries at 0.5% of the city’s expense budget.

When asked to comment on the Iran War, Speaker Mike Johnson declined, saying this was the first he was hearing about it.
It was included in his graphic novel-style memoir _They Called Us Enemy_ so I think he loves this image

The sports argument is the on-ramp. Politicians who say "I support trans rights except in sports" are either too naive to understand what they're agreeing to, or they understand it perfectly.
Sports bans aren't the destination, they're the foundation. Once you have a law that codifies trans girls as "male" for purposes of athletic competition, you have a precedent. And that precedent gets cited in the next case. And the one after that. Bathrooms. Passports. Employment.
The fact that the most wealthy people in our society are desperate for even more wealth at the expense of the rest of us is deeply pathetic. The richest men in my birth family think first, last, and always about needing ever more tax cuts and they are just terrible with money. Deeply pathetic.
With all due respect, Inskeep in particular seemed a stenographer for the Trump admin. Absolute tongue baths on the regular for Peter Navarro and Jonathan Turley who were on with mind numbing regularity. Suffice it to say, I no longer listen to NPR.
I was working as a local announcer on Morning Edition the day they “found him dead,” and I remember Steve Inskeep immediately and constantly referring to this as a suicide. How could Inskeep be so sure that there was no question what had happened?
Damn me, but all things are queer
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: “A country that always defends human rights and international law, like Spain, earns the respect of the entire world, as has happened in recent weeks.”
Yay!

Gas prices are now higher than when Trump took office.
this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop
But for real, here's an article from 2024 after Labour's win. They completely misread why they won, attributing it to them shifting rightward (instead of the reality: they were Not The Tories), and Dems solicited disastrous advice from them. www.politico.eu/article/kama...
Whew! Fuck that guy
Absolutely ridiculous that Republicans (minus Paul, plus Fetterman) all lined up to defend Trump's ability to do an end-run around Congress and just start a war unilaterally. Cowards.
The Republican’s farm bill ignores the Big Ugly Bill’s $187 billion cut to SNAP.
In California alone, over half a million people could lose critical food assistance. That’s absolutely unacceptable.
being anti-trans is an unelectable position, sorry newsom, we need someone more electable in 2028
YAY!
1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.
Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.

Across all the results yesterday one thing is clear- the first Dem in the presidential primary to vow that their first act as President will be to raze ICE to the ground and dump the remains in a toxic waste landfill is gonna lap the field
Didn’t this clown align himself with Ben bleeping Shapiro within the last few weeks about how the genocide in Gaza wasn’t actually a genocide? Ugh
Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
