Appearing on the @copenhagenizers.bsky.social Index is an important milestone for Minneapolis! We've come a very long way *AND* we've got a lot more work to do.
The good news is that steadily we're making it happen. Culture and infrastructure don't happen overnight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOYM...

So how many "deemed unlawful" and "violated law" judgments amount to "crime" by the president that merit impeachment?
NEW: A judge threw out criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and NY AG Letitia James.
The judge also said interim US attorney Lindsey Halligan’s appointment violated laws limiting DOJ's ability to install top prosecutors without Senate confirmation.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

It is so blatant now.
Yet they still don’t get it.
That even their own racism was created for them by the wealthy to keep them poor.
Will they ever get it?

What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

Valid point
AI tools are increasingly offering “emotional support” at work, while also tracking employee moods, stress levels and vulnerabilities.
Researchers warn the line between support and surveillance is getting dangerously thin.

AI is providing emotional support for employees – but is it a valuable tool or privacy threat?
People are increasingly using AI chatbots for emotional and psychological support. Now, companies are using it to support employees – raising a host of issues.

I'm sorry naysayers and grumps, but genuinely, going for a daily walk, cycling, or whatever light activity you can manage WILL improve your overall health. It's not a crash diet or a way to get ripped, but staying active is so good for your circulation, flexibility, cardio, and mental health.
