Thank you, Ottumwa! We’re grateful to everyone who attended our town hall and shared your stories about cuts to Medicaid and Job Corps, underfunded schools, and how far too many of you have to drive just to access basic care.

We encourage everyone to either vote early or vote on election day in the June 2nd Iowa Primary election. It is super easy and doesn’t take much time at all. Vote early through June 1 at your county auditor’s office. 1/3

Iowa Democrats flipped 2 Republican Iowa Senate seats this year in districts Trump won by double digits — and held a third to block Republicans from taking back their supermajority. In November, 25 Iowa Senate seats are on the ballot. The statehouse is ours to win. 🌽 1/2

Iowa is worth fighting for, and the Iowa Senate Democrats are working now to flip seats across the state in 2026. Join us tonight in Cedar Rapids for our No Off Years event to help us take back our state.

Happy Earth Day — except Iowa's water is unsafe to drink. All across the state. Senate Republicans consistently say that the voluntary, incentive-based system they've put in place is working to deliver clean water for Iowans. We know it isn't - because here's how it's working out: 1/4

Now more than ever, we need courage, truth-telling, and for you to continue showing up and standing up for our state.

Healthcare. Child care. Housing. Schools. Clean water. Iowans are clear about what they need and after 10 years of Republican control, they're still waiting. Families, workers and taxpayers deserve better — and Iowa Democrats have the plans to get us there.

Your rights shouldn't depend on your ZIP code.

While the billionaires are fighting, Iowans are taking the hits. Let's keep our eyes on the ball.

The cutting of public benefits recommended by the DOGE taskforce would cause a brain exodus that will make our communities less safe and tear down our public education.

This will probably be the iconic memory I have from OldestAmazingDaughter™️’s lacrosse career. Incredible team play to beat a ranked opponent and filling the night sky with joy in the midst of a cold downpour.

Tonight’s State of the Union will be a three‑ring circus — one loud Donald Trump in the Big Ring and two sycophants clapping to each lie. America deserves better than the Trump Clown Show politics. #TrumpsStateOfDelusion

Thank you for all the smiles.

In Mother’s Little Helper, a horror cooking game about Intergenerational family trauma, sometimes you hear things you weren’t meant to. I want there to be a physical experience of the overheard conversations in the space. #gamedev #motherslittlehelper #indiegames #horrorgame #cookinggame

Finally finished an #Android homescreen that started as a #StarWars droid POV UI, morphed into a starship layout (ideally an #XWing but that's debatable lol) so I kept it all 🤓 *Yes, darker album cover images don't work well but it's a 1% problem atm #KLWP #NovaLauncher #Maul #ShadowLord

Eine Regierungserklärung von Ministerpräsident Markus Söder! Mal schauen, worum es gehen wird. Übrigens: Normalerweise kann man im Bayerischen Landtag bei Debatten Zwischenbemerkungen machen, also dem Redner nach dessen Rede noch eine Frage stellen. (1/2)

So, Lindsey Graham loves the direction we're in & Trump is his favorite Prez, because "We're killing the right people" and we're using more bombs than WWII AND people cheered No, this is not AI. This is America under #MAGA leadership BTW many of them are pleading with folks to vote for Cuomo

"... people did wear PPE, or sporadically …" Therein lies another problem ... ≥FFP2 respirators only work when they are being worn ... all bets are off if they are not. I'm disinclined to bet on not wearing one ... they really are not difficult ... just waste 1:19 and see ... it may save your life

Last Sunday afternoon, The Singing Resistance turned a trip to Home Depot into a chorus of courage. Voices rose between the aisles with songs of freedom, dignity, and the belief that community matters, reminding anyone within earshot that protest can be peaceful, creative, and rooted in hope.

What can we learn from past energy crises for today’s energy challenges? Last time we spent about £40bn on energy bill support - but we didn't fix our reliance on fossil fuels. Nesta CEO Ravi Gurumurthy breaks down how to move beyond bailouts to accelerate to a secure, affordable energy system ⤵️

Reading is fragile, not guaranteed. 📚 Literacy is declining as screens replace deep focus. Reading builds empathy, attention, and critical thought—but only if we keep doing it. Mass literacy is recent. We can lose it. #ReadingMatters #Literacy #DigitalAge

Trump is abusing FISA Section 702 to spy on Americans — and deliberately concealing the truth to get it renewed. People deserve to know how a law is being used against them before it's reauthorized. Watch @trevortimm.bsky.social to find out how you can take action: freedom.press/fisa

🤖 John Shea Took in a Spurs game after GM meetings in San Antonio in November 2024. Walked to the front gate and bought a $10 ticket (and of course moved down close). Wemby was quite the show. Don’t think those 10-buck tickets will be available again anytime soon.

Oh! Well if it's on video and has a soundtrack, it MUST be real and not taken out of context in ANY way, eh? Remember when aliens blèw up the White House back in 1999?!

Making an American Citizen (1912) uses a Russian couple to depict Eastern European immigrants as abusive, backward, and unrefined. Through public interventions, the film shows the husband being forcefully civilized framing assimilation as an absolute cure for ethnic flaws.

“You act like these people are not people.” Outside Delaney Hall, a protester broke down pleading for empathy. At one point she asked, “What if your wife was in there, pregnant, begging for help?” The pain in her voice says everything. 💔 #SheShed

I have to admit, I’m super curious about the vibe in the Indian Fever locker room these days. I could see it being miserable but I also think it’s highly possible we are all blowing this way out of proportion and everything is just fine.
