A win! The Institute of Museum and Library Services (the federal agency that supports the nation’s libraries) has reinstated thousands of grants that had been canceled by the Trump administration, after a federal judge ruled the executive order mandating those cuts was unlawful.

Listen, if she is THAT set on this “pick one” energy, then make it free Caroline. Make it SO EASY for folks to leave, I mean pick one.

1. Trump should be impeached, convicted and removed asap. 2. Hegseth should be arrested. 3. Congress should make it clear to Vance that if he pardons Hegseth, it will consider it an abuse of power and obstruction of justice and impeachment proceedings will happen.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia. 1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine. 2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague. 3. Russia pays everyone for everything. 4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I need everyone to stand up and speak out on climate change like your life depends on it. BECAUSE IT DOES!

Apple is anti-union. Tesla is anti-union. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

AI and Crypto data centers need to be the first ones to lose power in a brown out.

New map of the cool parts of NYC just dropped.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Our national parks are increasingly stressed because of the government shutdown. With a large portion of National Park Service staff furloughed, there are fewer personnel available to enforce rules or care for the land. Across parks, reports are emerging of trash accumulating,

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

Investments in early learning and affordable child care. Largest investment in public schools in state history. Free school meals. Nation-leading Child Tax Credit. Paid leave. Our mission from day one has been clear. Today we rank as a top state for children.

"I don't want my tax dollars to..." baby I'm gonna stop you there. You make $40k a year. Your tax dollars ain't doing shit. Take all that energy and unionize your workplace and fight for a fair wage.

I would love it if you could share a video of mine with a friend that may enjoy it. You don’t have to subscribe if you don’t want to and neither do they. YouTube cares more about length of viewership and if you comment/like the video halfway or at the end. Thank you! youtube.com/@stephanieca...
