Every election matters. Elections shape our schools, communities, and futures.

Democracy works best when we exercise our right to vote.

Do your civic duty, check if your state is holding an off-year election this year, and exercise your right.

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.

Can Bluesky’s AT Protocol build the decentralized social media ecosystem that the Fediverse has aspired to be? It’s got a shot.

The odds are against it, but it's the most likely candidate to "save social media from billionaire capture" so far.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?
