They want to talk about the former because they're trying to avoid talking about the latter.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

These three picture books demonstrate kindness and compassion. They are fabulous and should be read to kids by parents and teachers and discussed. #booksky #picturebooks #bookreview #kindness #compassion

What happened to state's rights?

The Eighth Circuit just ordered Missouri to use a GOP congressional map that the state’s own Supreme Court ruled never legally took effect. Now the fight heads back to the U.S. Supreme Court, with Missouri voters and the November election hanging in the balance.

I really enjoyed reading Think Like a Dog by @thegoldenratio4.bsky.social, partly because it made me reflect on the wonderful rescue dogs I've had (& have). It's a fabulous book w/ great info about our best friends and filled with fabulous anecdotes about her rescue goldens. #booksky #bookreview

Ro Khanna on why Speaker Johnson sent the House home early: He doesn’t want Epstein to become the issue before the midterms, and he doesn’t want votes on the Iran war to become the issue.

My foster dog, Archie, in his fabulous adopted home! I'm so happy for him. He was terrified when we first got him but as the months went by, he started to realize how wonderful people are. He is the sweetest, and his new family adores him. That's why I foster. #adoptdon'tshop #rescuedog #fosterdog

Our military members deserve better than a president and a Secretary of Defense who don't care about them at all.

Call it the MITCH Act. If a U.S. Senator can disappear from the job for months and still collect a full paycheck, working Americans shouldn’t have to choose between getting well, caring for family, and paying the bills. Paid leave for ALL. 🇺🇸 #USDemocracy #RisingBlue

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

I don't think you'd be able to find a more tightly and effectively conceived mystery novel plot anywhere. Mofina's techniques are masterful. This is a fast read because, like those crashing trains, we simply can't stop -- reading. Don't miss it."

Isn't saving money great? Especially when it's to programs that keep us safe. While the millionaires get richer and some get to be trillionaires...

Trump likes to point to what he did in Venezuela as a success. The thing I find strangest about that whole debacle is how little everyone else has to say about it. He kidnapped and arrested a foreign president and his wife. At the very least, we should be keeping track of what’s happening to them.

Tell me why this isn't illegal? Oh, yeah. Because then legislators wouldn't be able to do it either. So while Martha Stewart gets jail time, Trump and his ilk get billions for insider trading.

I assumed the word "million" was accidentally dropped after the subbed note that he was fined "$200" for this but, no, the fine was two hundred dollars. For late disclosures on tens of millions of dollars. A fine of Two. Hundred. Dollars.

I really enjoy each book in the Chet and Bernie series by Spencer Quinn (Peter Abrahams). The latest one, Cat on a Hot Tin Woof, is the one I've been asking him to write - one that includes a cat. This one has 2 cats! #booksky #bookreview My review was first posted on Bookreporter.com.

That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

My little (15 lb) foster dog Archie is the sweetest dog. His WHOLE body wags! He's happy all the time. Not an ounce of aggression in his little body. He was neglected for the first 2 years but is learning to live inside. Loves kids & cats & dogs. Chicago peeps apply at: forgoodrescue.org
