Our small town of Healy, Alaska stood up with the rest of the nation on Saturday. We gave it our all. đź’™

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

Sen. Cory Booker breaks the record for the longest Senate floor speech, passing former Sen. Strom Thurmond's 24 hr, 18 min filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. As Sen. Booker neared the record, he invoked the late Rep. John Lewis and called on the Senate to get into "good trouble."

Sci-fi book idea: unelected billionaire sends out a loyalty test to 3 million people, if they don’t respond they lose their livelihood. The billionaire has the POTUS by the balls & our enemies love it. Then, here comes the resistance led by scrappy park rangers and they rally the whole damn country.

We could have had a human president right now. We could have been led by someone who went to battle for the most vulnerable and marginalized among us—and not with them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-could-h...

🚨🚨🚨 Musk and Trump fired 1000 VA staff, including staff working the Veterans Crisis Line. That’s confirmed. Musk and Trump are firing Veterans across federal agencies. That’s confirmed. NOW is the time to make some noise. NOW is the time to stand firm. Make every day a living hell for them.

Meanwhile, we children’s writers are going to keep including gender diverse characters and rainbow families in our books, because they are just, you know, normal.

Now more than ever.

The problem America has, is that we’re now going to need tens of millions of American voters to become activists—when we couldn’t even rely on those American voters to be voters.
