Democrat, fervent but terrible gardener, occasional baker, apparent klutz, professional viola player. I read Michelle Obama's Becoming and took from it that hope is a moral imperative. I grapple daily to maintain hope for our world--don't give up!

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.

ALT version.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel.  To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.


This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

Screenshot of the article's graphic, showing color swatches derived from the Earthcam archive, illustration the color of the reflecting pool calibrated against satellite imagery, from 8 June to 19 June 2026. I chose yesterday, 19 June, so it rendered the US American flag with a green hue instead of blue.

Data centers are literally changing the environment around them. A new study found they may be raising temperatures for miles around their facilities, harming plants, animals, and people alike. We deserve answers before more of these projects are approved across our state.
News graphic showing an aerial view of a large data center complex with multiple industrial cooling units, utility infrastructure, and a sprawling facility located near an urban area at sunset. Overlaid text reads: “Data centers are so hot their ‘heat island’ effect is raising temperatures up to 6 miles away and impacting 343 million people worldwide, study finds.” The graphic highlights research suggesting that waste heat generated by data centers can affect temperatures in surrounding communities. A Getty Images credit appears in the lower left corner, and a publication logo appears in the lower right corner.
