This seems to have gone under the radar. Trump and Musk defunded America’s doomsday seed vault. If we ever face a global agricultural disaster, this vault holds the seeds needed to restore plant life and feed humanity. This is beyond reckless.

#Wisconsin April 1st!
Please elect Judge Susan Crawford. Do NOT sit this out. If we’ve learned anything from 2024, it’s that we need judges with integrity that follow the law!
Elect Susan Crawford to the Wisconsin Supreme Court!

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Take a look at how your state is been cut off by the Trump de facto federal shutdown.

Deep red states are the most vulnerable to their own electoral choice.

The rules, if you are keeping track:

If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever.

If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

This is one of the best pieces I've read on the gender gap since the election.
