To every woman who feels the weight of what’s happening right now—the stories of women denied life-saving healthcare, the erosion of rights we thought were secure—I see you.

The regime wants us to feel friendless, isolated, alone. The truth? We have friends everywhere.

I wanted to let y'all know that I get literally DOZENS of comments from Germans every single day sending their love + standing in solidarity with Americans resisting fascism.

Anybody surprised?

Emissions from 14 fossil fuel giants drove 213 major heatwaves since 2000, making >50 deadly ones 10,000× more likely and adding up to +2.2°C increased intensity

All while knowing the impact of GHG emissions

Corporate negligence =Human cost

Carbon emissions from oil giants directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves for first time

School vouchers are a scam to send taxpayer money to private religious schools. Vouchers are also a violation of church and state.

You’ve probably seen headlines about the study implying that direct cash support makes no difference to families. I was away on family vacay when the story broke, but now that I’m back, I want to unpack why that framing is misleading, and share what experts are saying. 🧵
Fixed it! Guaranteed income works for kids.

And we've got the data to prove it: guaranteedincomeworks.org/research

#ThrowbackThursday to when the mural of Woody Guthrie went up on the outside of the center back in April 2013. It took Aaron Whisner from Clean Hands three days to hand paint it and it's been a staple of the Tulsa Arts District for over 12 years now.

Oh to be Robert Plant, 110 years old just strutting around on stage drinking white wine singing old Led Zep songs or bootlegger anthems or murder gospel or whatever over an accordion and a hurdy gurdy.

Colorado's public lands are who we are — they drive our economy & define our way of life.

And we just stopped Republicans’ attempt to sell them off to the highest bidder.

Thanks to everyone who spoke out and sent a clear message: these are our lands and we will never let you take them from us.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Reading “Girl on Girl” by @sophiegilbert.bsky.social and holy shit. Growing up in the 90’s 00’s as a girl, also in the evangelical church, I honestly am shocked any of us found our way back to self empowerment and healing with all of the anti-women sentiment coming at our young minds.

I finally swapped to Kroger and stopped shopping at Target entirely. Kroger has been marking up prices in CO and treating workers poorly. I hope they do better by their workers and customers going forward. I’ll take my grocery budget elsewhere if they don’t. Still hoping Target repairs DEI efforts.
