We just secured the liberal majority on Wisconsin's Supreme Court thru 2029! Susan Crawford's big win keeps the highest court in this battleground state from falling into MAGA hands. Thank you for all you did to elect this Indivisible-endorsed candidate (and make Elon Musk waste over $20 million)!

WTF?!
I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

The Cal Academy of Sciences created a program to teach teens to organize around climate change, until the teens showed solidarity with the union. Then Academy fired the staff coordinator and shut down the program. Because protecting the ego of the $600k/year CEO is more important than the planet.

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”
A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:
STAND OUT
“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."
