If you have never read Parable of the Sower or Parable of the Talents, now is the time.
It’s about a future where the worst parts of our current world are never stopped and how we find hope anyway.

omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

I'll tell you. Because Carney loves fossil fuels now, he's trampling on indigenous rights, and this man has principles.
Why Steven Guilbeault resigned from Mark Carney's cabinet, the week in Washington and more in Green Daily.
Why Steven Guilbeault Left Mark Carney’s Cabinet
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is nearly nine months into his tenure. He spent years building his climate bona fides on the global stage. But since taking over the role, he’s become more open to fossil fuels.

PSA for the fellas:
Every woman you know has been in a room with a Pete Hegseth (sometimes drunk, sometimes not) who raged at her for not being instantly charmed by, or acquiescent to, him—like Hegseth rages at reporters—and had to do a quick calculation about getting out safely. And a lot didn't.

Since the GOP is openly against immigrants now, I assume they're calling for anchor baby Barron Trump and his immigrant mom Melania to be deported, right?
He's the son a criminal, Donald, held liable for fraud, sexual assault & partied with a pedophile. A family of grifters and moochers, right?

Voters’ minds are hard to change. AI chatbots are surprisingly good at it.
New research suggests AI chatbots can shift people’s political views more effectively than campaign ads on TV.

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ.
Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising.
He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace.

Make NDAs illegal for public officials...Michigan House passed it earlier this year. Let's GET IT DONE.
In this commentary from Howell resident Breanne Green, she says efforts to ram through data centers have united people across the political spectrum.
“Good, solid, well thought-out projects don’t need secrecy, non disclosure agreements (NDAs), or fear of public pushback. Only bad ones do.”

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
