Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Every time you order from this company, you support their attacks on democracy plus extremely exploitive labor practices. Get your cardboard boxes somewhere else, please.
We have these in Madison and the UW-Madison campus. Maybe it's time to start talking about this.
At top, cursive-like text reads "Book Launch." Then there's a picture of the cover of Creature in Bloom. Then text reads: Rebekah Denison Hewitt in conversation with Rita Mae Reese. A Room of One's Own, Madison, WI, March 31, 2026, 6 PM."
Madison: save the date! Rebekah Denison Hewitt will launch her new poetry collection, Creature in Bloom, at @roomofonesownbooks.bsky.social on March 31, in conversation with @ritamae.bsky.social! Details: roomofonesown.com/event/2026-0...
Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.
The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Any reputable journalism organization would fire someone who manipulated a photo this way; many have done exactly that. It’s a shame our government can’t adhere to such a basic ethical and moral code too. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
They are trying to train us to be silent, so make some noise

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

The most misleading statement Barrett makes about mail scanning is this: "The evidence is clear." It is very much not clear. Dane County's own data on mail and contraband is especially not clear, as we found when we actually bothered to check out these claims

Isn't consistently referring to Jeffrey Epstein as "a financier" like always referring to Ted Bundy as "an office worker"?
Hey friends, check your vaccines and your kids. This shit is ridiculous.
I'm so glad someone has said this out loud
Another death is on his hands

The sloppiness of the cover-up here is astounding
A little good news to put some wind in your sails today.
Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

I just want to point out that "mourn" has a meaning and it is not a thing that Trump is remotely capable of. @usatoday.com
