Spending some time considering the mettle of your average senator versus, say, Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford.
Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.
cassidy changing his tune after what he said on the senate floor is what has upgraded my position from "they are being bribed" or "they are worried about primary challenges" to "they are worried about being murdered"

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community.

No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality.

Hate has no home here.

The Montana Supreme Court’s decision protecting the right to a stable climate isn’t just a symbolic victory—it’s a real, enforceable check on the state’s ability to authorize more greenhouse gas emissions. With @dahlialithwick.bsky.social: slate.com/news-and-pol...
A Landmark Victory in the Legal Fight Against Climate Change
It all starts with a provision of the state constitution that guarantees the right “to a clean and healthful environment.”

Disgusting & dangerous.
Watching many in the media, companies, and even in medicine bend the knee is fucking disgusting

My sister started this tradition with our family & it is absolutely delightful.
In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

They never wrote articles like this when Kyle Rittenhouse murdered two people.

Remember that.
The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshed, @adriennelaf.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/ZRcsrreK

Fair warning: I'm a low-road democrat. This account will pursue the relentless mockery of fascists, and a willingness to urge leaders to break norms for the sake of democracy.

And cat pictures.

UHC suing the widow is the cherry on this greed shit sundae.
The poster isn’t on bluesky so screenshotting but this is definitely one of the more evil UHC stories I’ve seen.

I see lots of questions and anxiety over how we fight back against seemingly stacked odds.

I expect in the coming weeks many here will share their perspectives on how we move forward.

As you process and get to a place of action, here are some things to consider, in terms of mindset
