Arizona U.S. Rep ADELITA GRIJALVA (“gree YALL vuh”) was elected almost A MONTH AGO! She WILL ADD HER VOTE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! But MAGA-controlled Congress IS BLOCKING her Oath of Office! Call yr congressperson: 202-225-3121. TELL THEM to *LET ADELITA REPRESENT* her congressional district!
With Adelita Grijalva’s victory last night the House is on the verge of having the 218 signatures needed for the discharge petition.
This is huge news—release the Epstein files.

Dear @forwardblue.bsky.social, the UNITED STATES absolutely needs national UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE- since 80 YEARS AGO or longer! BERNIE SANDERS is CORRECT: The American people need Universal Health Care NOW! #MedicareforALL
Republicans want to make your healthcare costs more expensive.
Democrats want to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies.
Never let them tell you the two parties are the same.

HOW can ANYONE “delay” the swearing-in of a duly elected new member of U.S. CONGRESS? Yet that is EXACTLY what #MAGA_GOP is doing right now, with new ARIZONA U.S. representative ADELITA GRIJALVA. SEAT this Member of Congress, NOW! If you value #democracy, VOTE from now through Tue, 4 November! #VOTE
FYI—if Mike Johnson wasn’t so afraid of what’s in the Epstein files, he wouldn’t delay the swearing in of Adelita Grijalva.

This is sick. I’m guessing also against the U.S. Constitution. This is one of the multiply convicted felon’s personal deals! Remember, QATAR gave him a JET- which he said he would use as “Air Force One.” Make that corruption make sense! 💀 VOTE Tuesday, 4 November, or VOTE EARLY! #VOTE_November4 USA
If a foreign government wants to build a military base in America, all they have to do is donate a jet to Donald Trump.

I don't anticipate fair elections, either, but will still participate and do my part as if they were. My state is already gerrymandered to shit, already employs an array of innovative tricks to limit voter turnout and public participation.
My vote hasn't mattered for decades already. I still vote.

Journal publishers *are* bundling your papers up in "data licensing agreements" for big tech companies to use for AI model training. Our publisher, T&F, got £75m from Microsoft for that last year alone.

How post-white-“supremacy” is the degrowth movement? Both overdevelopment and underdevelopment are linked to global, regional and local racial hierarchies and so-called white “supremacy,” which also is linked to male domination and female and non-binary submission, along with misogyny. #Climate
Two of our members went to Oslo for the 2025 International Degrowth Conference and got back with some keen reflections about it. Between experimental cabarets, productive tensions, and debates on delinking, the conference raised urgent questions: how do we build genuinely just postgrowth futures?
