Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Florida has OVER 4.5 MILLION #ACA enrollees...a whopping 20% of the ENTIRE STATE POPULATION. Around ~200,000 of them are currently paying full price, which means their rates will go up ~31.5% on average. Well over 4 MILLION are currently receiving federal tax credits...

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta. Why? It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Is there not one Democratic loving Congressman or Senator who will take action? youtu.be/AWSWqn7UHYM?...

History shows that musicians, minorities, Indigenous populations and let’s not forget women, have all stood on the correct side of history. There is power here.

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

I want everyone to just take FIVE MINUTES, and take a look at this extremely well put together project 2025 tracker. www.project2025.observer We're less than a month in.

TOMORROW (WED): Rallies are being held across the country to protest the funding cuts to science and the illegal firing of federal workers. Please join if you can. We need to show that many people oppose these destructive attacks on science and healthcare. Details: labor4highered.org

It feels like time to expel the U.S. Ambassador. I propose new federal legislation to prevent U.S. citizens from purchasing Canadian property. While we’re at it, Americans should not own more than 49% of a Canadian corp. @charlieangus104.bsky.social #strongasfuck

Like this video that @fsfp.bsky.social made about the software of voting machines being stolen. youtube.com/watch?v=D5k1T5JD…

They would be familiar with that case. Or interview someone who was. They would seek out people like Susan Greenhalgh, who could tell them about the very real and well documented problems with US #votingmachines and election security.

The EAC has now censured ES&S for the false claims, and is directing ES&S to recall all misleading marketing materials, in addition to notifying customers to inform them that the voting systems with modems are non-EAC certified. bit.ly/3BEnUgr

It is clear from his interview today that Trump is going to expect Bondi and Patel to investigate and prosecute his political opponents. Three questions: How will the media cover? What will pro-democracy leaders and orgs do? Most important: Who will stand up and who will obey?

Last year, the Canadian Medical Association Journal published an article on a scurvy case in Toronto. Scurvy is almost never in advanced countries like Canada. This year we learned of 27 more cases in the Lac La Ronge Indian Band in Saskatchewan.

I will never, ever get over this.

Out for a walk in the forest and happened across this tree on a less frequented trail. A beautiful setting to remember someone’s gone but not forgotten beloved pets.

This feels appropriate for Black Friday.

This is not great

Ukraine is under attack now. russian missiles & drones are currently attempting to destroy Ukraine's energy system, aiming to leave us in cold & darkness this winter. With North Korean troops now invading Ukraine, this should serve as a kind alarm bell reminder for Europe of what is truly at stake.

Norwegian government and party leaders have agreed to increase aid for Ukraine to min $3.2 billion in 2025, with supporting Ukraine's defense industries as a top priority. This funding will save countless lives! Dear people of Norway, thank you for your help!
