2 weeks ago I visited Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan during the Snow Light Path Festival, which has been happening annually since 1999. Dedicated to international cooperation and peace, the festival depends on volunteers from several countries to keep the lanterns lit in the darkest time of the year 🕯️

Don’t forget 25 Russians were indicted for interfering with the 2016 election as a result of the Mueller Investigation. They engaged in a campaign to get Trump elected by impersonating Americans online to spread misinformation and hacking into the DNC computers.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that a lot of us do. I know that as a gardener, as a nurse, and as a parent I find myself thinking of the little actions in a day and how they might one day bloom into more

So now Elon wants to send his ppl to FAA to figure out why we’re having all these crashes under Trump. I’LL SAVE YOU TIME: YOU FIRED AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AFTER THEY HAD A PERFECT RECORD FOR 16 YRS! You created a problem, now you want your company to make $ to “fix it.” THE GREAT AMERICAN SCAM!

Lotta stuff you can urge federal Democrats to do right now that’s effective and useful, but the scale and impact of the constitutional crisis is so severe that they should be abusing parliamentary procedure to hold the floor in the House and the Senate until the coup ends. Waiting is dangerous.

If you weren’t able to do something in response to the madness today, tomorrow will be here soon enough. I’ll be at the Tesla protests with a sign that reads HIS KID DISOWNED HIM FOR A REASON. Rest up, babes. We’ve got a long road ahead. I can’t wait to see how you fight back.

if I were writing stories about the gov "firing thousands of probationary workers" I would probably rewrite as "firing thousands of new hires -- who are often on a status called "probation" --" because I think the general understanding of "probation" is "in trouble for something they did"

My response to Democratic members of Congress who are upset because "people keep calling our office" is that I will simply call more.

We hope that news outlets Trump punishes by restricting their access to briefings, signings and the like will take the opportunity to double down on hard-hitting investigations that don’t require access to ceremonies and spin sessions. www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

Today, what I need most is a mental image of the future I'm fighting for. I need to take a moment to remember that there is so much in this world that I love and want to defend; to regain focus and remind myself that progress inches along often so slowly that we can't see it day-to-day.

I remain fascinated by the expanded child tax credit case study & the implications for leftist policymaking. People received REAL financial benefit from it. It drastically cut child poverty rates and it was rescinded without a real fight. I think about this at least once a week.

Remember when everyone became a "Cumosexual" because Cuomo just came on TV (and youtube) and said plain things about the pandemic and everyone forgot about the fact that he borked NYS response in the first place, if I were a state politician with ambitions for more this would be my moment.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

If you are feeling overwhelmed, it makes perfect sense. I want to once again offer that it's so much better to immerse yourself in only one or two things. Follow the news about just those focus areas. Importantly find concrete small actions to take in those specific areas. Key is consistency.
