3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

The light is on for Ann Gelder! @anngelder.bsky.social💡
”Better Than Ever” is an absolutely incredible short story. This is a story about war and marriage. About the tragedies inflicted on us and those we inflict on ourselves.
We’re so lucky to share Ann’s gorgeous writing over at the site!

I have so much respect and admiration for Ms. Levy Armstrong, arrested after leading a protest at a church only blocks from my home. Grateful to the NYT for calling out out the regime's lies and smears against her. 🔥

Well, some haters don’t shut up. They just get more hateful.
But yep, we all see it. And we will not let hate — and racism and bigotry and misogyny and cruelty — win.💫

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

I will play in the snow, for a bit.
I will go indoors to get warm and cozy.
I will shout “I am grateful” for this moment and this roof over my head.
I will pray, which means whispering to this universe my hopes.
I will write poetry.
What will you do today?

Here’s some good conservation news: the first amphibian crossing tunnel to be built in New Hampshire.
“It’s very exciting for us to see that this community science data, this data that’s been collected by volunteers over many years, is being used to inform lasting conservation solutions.”

Why the fuck do we have for-profit prisons in the United States. Don’t answer. I know why. It just really struck me today. How much this country is pushing to re-legalize slavery (I recognize how much incarcerated people‘s labor is already exploited).
