I'm not a conservative commentator. Billionaires won't pay me $150m. No major network is making me the editor in chief. But I am a lawyer who fights for democracy. I did build Democracy Docket from scratch. And, for $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

If you have private employer-provided insurance, you’ll get a letter telling you that your health care is going to go up by 10-20% starting January 1. That's because of the health care crisis created by this President and his Big Beautiful Bill.

Titicaca!

San Antonio friends!

I hope there are very smart people reading Project 2025 very carefully, preparing lawsuits for all unconstitutional acts, and creating a Project 2026 blueprint for a society that establishes universal justice, equity, healthy planet, healthcare, freedom, safety, education, arts, and childcare.

.@morganevelyncook on TikTok is trying to figure out why Trump is sending troops to Portland, Oregon, and her video is the greatest thing ever 🤣

Yeah. Because it's illegal.

I’m appreciative of my younger self for purchasing this score, and for marking the harp part so beautifully. It’s my security blanket. Will be playing it with Symphony of the Hills (in Kerrville, Texas) to open their season. I’m likely to be a little emotional. iykyk

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Welcome to Austin, Dan!

Climate action now!

'Extracting more oil and gas from the North Sea will do nothing to bring down UK bills and boost Britain's energy security - the sooner we stop pretending otherwise, the sooner bills will fall and jobs will grow' www.businessgreen.com/opinion/4519...

Uruguay, y'all. I been sayin.

California and Brazil just signed an MOU that expands our work cutting pollution and creating more jobs in the green economy. Our action today emphasizes that global challenges require global cooperation.

Glad to see Brazilian President Lula stand up for climate justice at the UN, but it's hard to square his strong words today with all the oil and gas exploration licenses his government so recently issued... 350.org/press-releas...

Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana doctor who chairs the Senate health committee, is calling on the Department of Health and Human Services to release any evidence tying acetaminophen use during pregnancy to autism, noting that “the preponderance of evidence shows that this is not the case.”

Many thanks to Justine Koontz and Memorial Episcopal Church in Baltimore for a beautiful rendition of "Darkness As Light" on Sunday! The entire service is gorgeous. My pieces starts at 56:40. www.youtube.com/live/wqQaAE6...

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong". Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

Go wind!

Six days ago, the Trump administration strong-armed ABC and Disney into suspending Jimmy Kimmel. Thousands of Americans spoke out to protest this blatant attack on free speech, and now Kimmel will return to television tomorrow. Never doubt the power of collective action.

On this day 333 years ago, Adrienne’s 8th great-grandmother Mary Esty was hanged in Salem Village after being falsely accused of witchcraft. She was innocent. Chaski supports freedom and justice for all. Art by Shari Cookson. #Chaski40th @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social

The Trump administration is weaponizing local police departments across the country through a program called 287(g), which allows officers to profile and detain people for immigration enforcement and ultimately deportation. Congress must stop funding this program immediately.

The concept of trying to implement geoengineering solutions to #climate change is like trying to design a complicated, expensive, unreliable helmet while you're still hitting yourself in the head with a 2x4.

Goodbye huge garbage bin. Goodbye Waste Connections and their price hikes. Goodbye $282.45 per quarter for weekly trash pick up that doesn't include recycling or yard waste. Hello @traviscountytx.bsky.social 1431 Citizens Collection Site that takes our weekly garbage for $4.33, exact change please.

Our planet needs us—and now, more than ever, we need to stay focused. We are working hard so that future generations can enjoy these wild places for years to come.

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally. Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially. Via @us.theconversation.com

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!
