Thanks, @ds228.bsky.social!
Cover of Desai’s _The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny_
I’m sooo excited for this book—been waiting for another novel from Kiran Desai ever since I fell in love with The Inheritance of Loss some years ago.

Only someone who avoided the draft would want to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history
BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.
This is how the police dealt with them.
Literally beat the hell out of them.
This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.
You know he’s got us there
"When did we become a country where it's okay for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything – especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation – that we treat this as normal?"
Gov. JB Pritzker
It’s not really necessary to mock Kristi Noem since South Park has already done such a good job of it, but here’s the actual anti-drug slogan she approved when she was Governor of South Dakota
A U.S. district judge asked yesterday the same question we have been asking for weeks: why have state and federal governments failed to produce a copy of the legal agreement governing the Everglades detention camp? The detention of immigrants in that place is blatantly illegal.
What I cannot fathom is why any court is allowing Alligator Auscwirz to exist.
Inhumane detention facilities violate the 8th Amendment to the Constitution prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment.

Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated.
The cost of the shot? $1,400.
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
$1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy...
"That's just how it is."
Crowd at peaceful march by River
Crowd with sign “Rejecting Kings since 1776”
Sign: “History has its eyes on you”
Painted on umbrella: “I need to be able to tell my children I did not stay silent”
Arkansas showed up! In Little Rock, a crowd estimated by the statewide newspaper at 8,000 marched to take a stand for Constitutional rights and against tyranny. It was a day of sunny skies and good vibes, with a steady stream of passersby honking and cheering in support. #NoKings
I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.
I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

BREAKING
The Trump administration is maintaining a funding freeze at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in defiance of two federal court orders.
The ongoing freeze was confirmed by an NIH official and internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information.
He’s insane.
Imagine the outrage if a Democratic president let a shadowy South African billionaire with a ketamine habit access U.S. financial systems and national security secrets. Republicans would burn D.C. to the ground.
But since he bankrolls their primaries, they stay silent.
Pathetic.

Staffing was ‘not normal’ at airport tower, according to a preliminary F.A.A. report. Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to an internal preliminary Federal Aviation Administration safety report about the collision that was reviewed by The New York Times. The controller who was handling helicopters in the airport’s vicinity Wednesday night was also instructing planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, rather than one.
Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Combs all said they were briefed on the collision, so they all knew about this internal FAA report when they went on TV to blame minorities for the crash.
