From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards."

Thanks! We ended up buying a Drinkmate. As a Michigan resident, it's nice to support a Michigan company. Even better, the Drinkmate is a better and more versatile product than Sodastream. #MichiganMade
I stopped using my SodaStream soda maker once Israel went full genocide and I found out it's an Israeli company, and even worse it had been operating in the West Bank.

Drinkmate is based in Michigan. It's better than SodaStream, since you can carbonate any drink, not just water.
Drinkmate Sparkling Water and Soda Maker, Carbonates Any Drink!
Drinkmate Sparkling Water and Soda Maker is the best "soda maker" appliance that lets you carbonate not only sparkling water but also juices, iced tea or coffee, wine, cocktails, and more.

California, Oregon and Washington announced yesterday they’ve created their own health alliance, saying the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.”

New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have now done the same.

Mohsen Mahdawi: “And the injustice that I am facing here and the injustice that the antiwar movement is facing, is also connected to the injustice that the Palestinian people are going through. We see children being killed, amputated, losing their parents, no homes. This is what’s moving us.”

(1/2) Indivisible's tips for contacting US elected officials:

1. It is better to call (or show up in person) than email.
2. Give your name and address.
3. Ask for the staffer's name.
4. State the action you want the official to take.
