🤦‍♀️ Does this mean that the State Department’s role now is to manage internal U.S. relations, negotiate treaties with itself, and protect American interests here at home?

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

If you didn’t think you could despise Susan Collins any more than you already do, read this whole ProPublica thread about how she was bribed by a defense contractor that wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayer money, and how the 🍊💩protected her by closing down the FBI’s investigation.

This is corruption of the highest order. Susan Collins delivered millions in taxpayer dollars for a corrupt donor bankrolling her campaign, and then Donald Trump helped her cover it up. No wonder she voted with him 96% of the time and has rubberstamped his agenda to hurt Maine.

“The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day; a movement is only people moving.” - Gloria Steinem Another giant gone, another life spent in motion on behalf of others, another life that unequivocally showed that change is possible.
gloriasteinem and gloriasfoundation post - picture of Gloria Steinem laughing

Yesterday, Gloria Steinem passed away peacefully at her home in New York City, surrounded by some of the many who loved her. Gloria's near-century on earth were years well-lived, and she continued working for equality until the very end.
Gloria's greatest gift was her ability to listen to others, to make others feel seen and heard. Her words, actions, and example gave people permission to be their truest selves. Gloria lived true to her independent spirit, always with curiosity and a great sense of humor.
She spent her recent years doing the two things she loved most: being in community with others and writing. She has welcomed hundreds of guests into her living room for Talking Circles, a tradition she insisted will continue long after she is no longer with us. As Gloria wrote in her forthcoming book, An Unexpected Life, "! have now lived for more than fifty years in this brownstone, in rooms that have witnessed lives before mine, and will know others after ! am gone." This book, along with her commitment to her home becoming a center for social justice movements, are among the many gifts Gloria has given the world with the hope they have ripple effects for generations to come. Gloria often quoted the adage: "The flap of a butterfly's wing can change the weather hundreds of miles away."
Gloria loved the tradition of lighting signal fires on hills to light the way to the other side of the mountain. Lighting your own candle for Gloria makes you part of this global and celestial community circle.
In lieu of flowers, Gloria has asked that those wishing to honor her with a gift, may make a donation to Gloria's Foundation.

Let's be clear: USPS is still blocked from implementing President Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in voting due to our separate court order. We're fighting to keep it that way.
pbs.org
Nothing changes yet with the Supreme Court's order on mail voting. But it could open door to 'chaos'
Rather than saying that President Donald Trump's order is legal, the high court said Monday it was too early for Democratic-run states to challenge it in June, when they convinced a federal judge in Boston to freeze the order for November's election.
