This is why I am the way I am (complimentary).

This this this⬇️ "As we’ve seen in the South post-Callais...representation is a gift the political majority bestows on the minority, not a fundamental right of democracy. On top of that, they seem to treat partisan identity as an immutable quality of the state, separate from the voters." 1/

This.

What a cool idea! Keep the pressure! @redactedreadingroom put all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files bound together in 3,437 volumes of books, on display in a new exhibit in Tribeca. David Garrett, one of the organizers, says the goal is to push for the release of all of the files. #Pinks

I recommend this newsletter!

Great info here

A Pulitzer for Julie K. Brown. Richly deserved, and overdue!

This.

Love this.

Am I quote posting @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social ? Holy shit, I am.

Love to see it!

New England has some of the highest energy costs in the US, but rural towns like Warwick, Mass., are transitioning away from fossil fuels and saving money in the process. By @biancaygarcia.bsky.social for @WBUR.org

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

Repugnant: "The health department seems to want to shift taxpayer dollars away from reliable contraception & toward counseling men on erectile dysfunction, testosterone levels & sperm motility, each of which merits three mentions in the new guidance, while IUDs and birth control pills earn none."

This response to a post from @jamellebouie.net is excellent.

Hahaha lol. This.

I did appreciate the Russian doll with Orbán on the outside and Putin inside at the Tisza party 😀

Excellent analysis here, worth a read.

Also full no-fault divorce became legal in all fifty states during the time period 1970-2010. Forty years! Suicide rates among women dropped 10-20%, DV/IPV dropped 30%, and 10% fewer women were murdered by their husbands.

FYI. Union! Yes! ¡Sí se puede! Solidarity ✊

About the booing of Michelle Wu: the "haves" can't stand a mayor who's looking out for the "have-nots." I think Wu is doing alright. #Boston

Reelecting Orbán and reelecting Trump, expect the same process. John Oliver discusses the elections on the horizon for Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary and the longest serving current head of government in the EU, why conservatives in the US are so invested in him maintaining power.

Must see TV. Please watch and share. These are dark times and I find many of the explainers by John Oliver to be valuable. The laughs are a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.

From the Great— @anneapplebaum.bsky.social —a gift link. Most of GOP love Orban's Hungary, despite (maybe because of) ties to Russia, & definitely because they want to remake our liberal democracy into an illiberal "democracy." It's been out in the open for all to see—for years—if only we'd look.

Must watch!

I love a good laugh 😁

No Kings. Find your event for this Saturday, March 28th. www.nokings.org #NoKings

One of my heroes.

You'll be glad you read this.

Amid heightened immigration enforcement in her Northeast LA neighborhood, Claudia Yanez launched a run club that patrols for ICE activity.

Sure this is going to improve society and civilization 😏

This.

For people who are concerned about having their devices seized at US airports starting Monday when ICE "assists" the TSA, EFF has this guide: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Omg hahaha Best and only news about March madness I care about lol

I love this woman dearly, and I stand with her. Here’s Dolores Huerta’s statement re: Cesar Chavez medium.com/@dolores_hue... If you are a survivor or have been impacted by any type of sexual violence, the Dolores Huerta Foundation has a list of resources doloreshuerta.org/sexual_assault_resources

“I have never identified myself as a victim, but I now understand that I am a survivor — of violence, of sexual abuse, of domineering men who saw me, and other women, as property, or things to control.” Dolores Huerta on Cesar Chavez Men: when will it end?ENOUGH ALREADY medium.com/@dolores_hue...

I'm heartened to see a response like this. Every word rings true.

I found this helpful. Please take care of yourselves. What a blow.

Alright then. 1st: it grows more apparent, by the day, that these ppl fear women. Forcing women to stay home, & have babies, in this economy? After disassembling social welfare? A 1 income family? HA! Men are already selling sperms to get cash for food & fuel. www.ms.now/ali-velshi/p...

Ok. I cracked a wry smile.

Wisconsin specific PSA: deadline to register to vote in the Supreme Court race is coming up mid-March. 1. Even if you think you’re registered, verify. 2. If you plan to register by mail: the deadline is 3/18 but *MAKE SURE TO DO IT DAYS EARLY* because new USPS rules: boltsmag.org/usps-postmar...

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

I am now in my 55th year of being an imminent millionaire.

It's shameful that this is happening and it's important that every voter is prepared for this kind of thing.

Lol same. I actually missed Target for about two days. Easiest breakup ever.

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

We are mums. Daughters. Sisters. Survivors. We understand what safety really means. Our voices should never be used to justify exclusion or discrimination of trans people. If you agree, sign our letter: notinourname.org.uk

What’s one way we can rein in ICE? We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty. Watch.

Please share far and wide.

This is huge. Massachusetts is home to tens of thousands of hardworking Haitian TPS recipients who enrich the culture of our state, contribute to our economy, and help ensure we meet the needs of elders and patients in our health care and elder care industries - this victory belongs to them.
