25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

lede = introductory section in journalism bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Maybe I'm crazy but I think ALL medical procedures and devices should be free. Dental, oral, eyesight, plastic surgery, gender affirming care, tampons/pads, medication, therapy (mental, physical, you name it)— FREE. And yes, by free I mean taxpayer funded. It's 2026. Like, cruelty has to stop.

TW: POTTY WORDS ‘Pee’ meaning “urinate" was originally just the letter P. The P was short for ‘p*ss.’ Also, 'p*ss' originated in Latin, and is thought to be an onomatopoeia for the sound it makes.

The Toco toucan 63 cm Largest heaviest in the toucan family central and eastern South America Their beak acts as a heat radiator. By controlling blood flow to the bill, the toucan releases body heat to cool down. At night, they tuck their giant beaks under their back feathers to keep warm.

Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use union-busting laws to further exploit workers 5) Rinse and repeat How we break this cycle? Build back a powerful labor movement.
