The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

On this day in 1932, Star Trek actor Nichelle Nichols was born. Her groundbreaking role as Lt. Uhura made her an inspiration to many and in 1977, she worked with NASA to recruit women and people of color. We reflect on her life and legacy: s.si.edu/48fmF2d

My name is Jonathan Nez. I’m the former President of the Navajo Nation. I am running for Congress to defeat MAGA Republican Eli Crane, flip Arizona’s 2nd blue, and take back the house. Repost this, give me a follow, and let’s win this.

🚨NEW: Former GOP Lt. Governor of Georgia Geoff Duncan has switched his party affiliation to join the Democratic Party. RETWEET to welcome @GeoffDuncanGA to the Democratic Party!

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files. Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office. One side dodges accountability. The other fights for democracy. That’s the real hypocrisy. Repost from @DjMelodie

Dear ⁦@StephenAtHome⁩ I saw the news about your “cancellation” and your brilliant response. Remember you can always SIGN it as I taught you. #stephencolbert #thelateshow #cbs

@nwsnwc Please finish Atlas 15 Volume 2!! We need this now more than ever!

The new class of flip floppers.... whose flip flop will cost their constituents lives

trump, Stephen Miller, and Tom Homan are FURIOUS about this ICEBlock app, which informs folks where ICE is operating. So you definitely shouldn't RT this like crazy, because it would make trump even madder.

Marching with @HispanicCaucus to the senate to demand GOP @LeaderJohnThune take immediate action to investigate and hold DHS accountable for the assault and detainment of U.S. @SenPadilla. This is America. This is our democracy. We will not stand for it.

Senator Alex Padilla was fulfilling his Congressional oversight duties when he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is no isolated instance; this is a pattern of behavior by the Trump administration. There is simply no justification for this abuse of authority.

@ZacharyBrennan How do we know this? Has HHS said no? Or is it just that HHS has not said yes and no notice?

RFK won’t testify before key Senate committee this week on HHS overhaul - endpts.com/rfk-wont-testi…

here's how you should NOT vote 😂

John Amos has sadly passed away at the age of 84. Rest in peace Admiral Fitzwallace

@freganmitts For a quality couch, look at Roger and Chris. Remember, re the cheap stuff, you get what you pay for. For a little more, with R&C, you get super quality. My couch looks as good as the day I got it, and we are going on five years. rogerandchris.com/furniture

Embarrassed to be asking this at the age of thirty-three years but: where do people get couches, aside from thrift stores, that aren’t like $10k?

This is what bothers me about AI (among many things), everyone's blinded by the shiny toy and skipping due diligence. Nieman labs put out a piece saying newsrooms that disclose using it lose trust from readers. AI is the new hammer looking for nails.

I need a CRM for my personal life... anyone got any recs?! 🤣🙃🫣🫠
