It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“Why does the world’s richest man, now serving as the de facto president of the United States, care about a single judicial election in a state that is home to less than 2% of the U.S. population?...the answer can be summed up in the form of his biggest fear: accountability.” New from Ben Wikler

77% of the American people want to cap credit card interest rates. It is about time that we listened to them. Congress must provide financial relief to working families struggling to pay for the high price of groceries, rent, gasoline, and prescription drugs.

Getting private word that a few hospitals that have paused care for trans youth are starting that care back up. If your hospital is one of them, please message me privately. Good to see the initial capitulation is receiving strong pushback.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

According to @oliviajulianna.bsky.social, a childhood rife with economic collapse, school shootings, and political failure prepared Gen Z for Trump’s autocracy. The kids won’t save you—but we can inspire change by fighting together.

F it. I’m gonna start blaming DEI for everything in my life, too. Late on an assignment? DEI. Car won’t start? DEI. Late on a mortgage? My money’s DEI. Hang nail? DEI. Thinking about getting out of a relationship? Have to. DEI.

In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Miles’ per hour it’s at an all time high.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.
