If you recently bought a portable generator, remember that it can create deadly levels of carbon monoxide in minutes. Do NOT run your generator indoors - ever. Run it outside at least 20 feet away from your home and make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Minnesota Republican lawmakers are trying to: 1. Unseat a democrat elected to the state house (despite a judge's ruling Tuesday.) 2. Force leadership appointments through (despite the secretary of state advising the GOP didn't meet the state's quorum threshold.) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"Hoping that Trump fails is not a plan. We must develop and foster new movements, structures, tactics, platforms and leaders to oppose Trump and articulate a positive vision. In most democratic political systems, this is referred to as the opposition."

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.

Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.
