I'm collecting sites that tell me what political action to take on any given day. It's safer for me to check these regularly than to sift through the news and statements from activists to figure out what to do. Indivisble is good (see link). Any other suggestions? indivisible.org/take-action-...

Deeply local! This is a very clear explanation of the complicated issue of Northampton’s budget, stabilization funds, and public school spending. It addresses much of the misinformation and half-truths you might read on social media and in the letters to the editor in the Gazette.

I wrote a review of A COMPLETE UNKNOWN: the brand new Bob Dylan bio pic. And I guarantee you it is totally unlike any other critique of the film that you are ever going to run in to. merrillmarkoe.substack.com/p/a-complete...

I’m just begging you: Before you write your post about why the media isn’t covering something, Google it and look at the “news” tab. Please.

Elegant and hilarious understatement in AP article about the president-elect’s Canada nonsense: “Canadian leaders have shown no interest in dissolving their country.”

Good site if you want to check which political parties various companies contribute to. The app is even better. Guess I’ll have to find an alternative to TJ Maxx/Marshalls. www.goodsuniteus.com
