‘We will fill the State House’: Advocates gird for a showdown over House plan to dial back climate commitments - CommonWealth Beacon
The effort is bound to divide the Democratic supermajority on Beacon Hill and test officials’ willingness to defend the state’s climate policies just as winter hits and Healey mounts a reelection bid.

I know food and health care and housing are more important, but let's not take our public libraries for granted. We should all have access to all. It's not asking too much. nwmd.social/s/copylink/5...

Verklempt, almost kvelling to see so many signatories to this letter. As my daughter says, NYC is probably the safest place in the world for Jews. Let's keep it that way. No, let's make it safer, and for Muslims, and everybody.

Crimes against humanity.
The EPA is picking and choosing who gets to work during the shutdown: "virtually everyone who is working to undo marquee Biden-era regulations for air pollution, climate change and
water quality is still on the job."
This is, to put it mildly, not normal.

We need a comprehensive and long term strategy that doesn't just counter Project 2025, but is positive and more ambitious than that right wing terrorist plot.

This dovetails a lot with what educators are asking themselves: more needs to be done to make affirmative claims about the value of literature, close reading, whole books, etc—without ceding all the ground to the classical ed and Great Books culture industry.
I didn’t get the wording down precisely, so I won’t quote it, but one of the things that hit hard in the room:
Reactionaries waging culture wars against the humanities have a more accurate account of our power than we do. And our humility is not admirable, but an abdication of responsibility.

And yet, I will be peaceful, because peace is what we want to create, and because what I do is what I actually have control over. This doesn't not require cooperation.

FDA approved the abortion pill mifepristone 25 years ago.
So why is RFK Jr. raising questions about it now? He's trying to roll back abortion access nationwide.
I'll keep fighting against attempts to restrict access—because medication abortion is safe and effective. Period.
