THIS SONG FEELS A LOT LIKE THE ELECTION, and my favorite line is this: "Even if we die striving to find the peace we lost At least we'll know we tried, didn't stand by with fingers crossed..." How... to strive? By doing as many of the following as you possibly can: youtu.be/YpjNXkHRTmQ?...

As a Jew, I’m not a huge fan of “we should do this because the Christian Bible says so,” but it is refreshing to use that argument in support of doing good things to help people instead of whatever the hell Republicans always do.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT A $90 THOUSAND DOLLAR CAR that means you don't have to practice parking? Also, why the hell does a Maserati SUV look just like anybody else's SUV? Shouldn't a Maserati look, you know... cool?

Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.

We have enough food, technology, and money to save the planet. We just have a system where destroying it is more profitable. That's not a climate problem. That's a greed problem. #ClimateJustice

People aren’t faking their disabilities, they’re faking being well. We know society hates us. We know we will be judged for using assistive devices. Many of us take years to get the courage to lean in to accommodations. Stop judging. Help us build a more inclusive world.

Pricey? “The Lectric XPedition2 costs $1,399 which is admittedly much more expensive than an entry-level non-electric bike.” You can’t get an EV in the US for less than $30k! Also, a decent non-electric bike will set you back at least $2k.
