Beyond excited to say that I've been writing on this and it truly rocks. Don't take my word for it, let Iggy Pop tell you:
What will be your band's legacy?
💵 A bunch of corporate sellouts always chasing the next dollar?
🍺 A group of what-ifs destroyed by booze and in-fighting?
🎸 Or…rock and roll legends who changed the game?
You’re the manager in Rockbeasts, coming 2025!

Pretty amazing that nonprofit Watch Duty -- which says it has 150 volunteers working around the clock to track wildfires -- has become the most trusted source of information on LA fires. Operated by retired/volunteer firefighters, dispatchers, and reporters. Real people.

The playbook they ran against abortion is now being run against gender-affirming medical care and will be used against birth control. Oklahoma just proposed a bill to limit IUDs this week.
You need to defend trans people's health care like your birth control depends on it.
