we sing it at Mass sometimes and I think about it a lot. it gets at something really profound in such simple language “My country's skies are bluer than the ocean And sunlight shines on clover leaf and pine But other lands have sunlight too and clover And skies are everywhere as blue as mine”

The world is a scary mess. I don’t have all (or many) answers. But I do know it’s always a good idea to find your community. Figure out what you can offer to other people and projects/efforts. Ask for what you need.

They look safe—like the driver will be able to see my child crossing the street and,even if they don’t see him, the hood height will let him survive a collision. Folks need to step out of their car-culture addled brains.

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago. What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored. Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

The killer is consistently described in the press as “a devout Christian who opposed abortion” as if that’s an essential trait of devout Christians. Many, if not most, “devout” Christians support abortion access. Melissa Hortman was a Catholic who taught Sunday school.

👀 Scoop: Trump and Republicans want USPS to sell off its brand new EVs and chargers. That would mean literally ripping up post office parking lots to auction off assets with no private-sector value. It’s buried in the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

And remember: AC is at minimum 3 times more efficient than heating the same space (and often requires cooling a space by fewer degrees than heating does, making it even more efficient.) If you wouldn’t hesitate to turn on a space heater in December, the AC in June is fine.

This map of when people get on and off the Bloor-Danforth line 2 subway is interesting (though not especially surprising) in terms of data, but what really stands out for me is that it's gorgeous. Just a brilliant piece of data presentation. schoolofcities.github.io/transportati...

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

this line is straight from the TERF handbook. nobody with half a brain takes it seriously. when i was 25, i was diagnosed with graves disease, which made me kill my own thyroid. now i have to take pills every day. I take the same number of pills now for my transition, it's not a big deal.
