Surrounded by women, lawmakers, and advocate champions, Gov. Maura Healey signed landmark legislation ensuring full abortion access in MA. Women have the fundamental right to choose for their own bodies. Healthcare is a human right, period!

This is an extraordinary story, centred on a group of remarkable women, but it just makes me mourn for the millions of women and girls trapped in Afghanistan, denied not only the freedom to play sports, but to speak, learn and live as they choose. We must not forget them.

Healthcare workers belong in hospitals, not detention centers. Over 100 nurses rallied outside Maine Medical Center in Portland on Aug 5, forcing ICE to release Debora Kapisha on Aug 6. Organize, speak out, and demand permanent protection for essential workers. 🎥NowThisImpact

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

Honestly I blame capitalism. “Why would you help something else when you can just hoard everything for yourself and close out everyone who doesn’t submit to you because everyone else is the enemy” is a very capitalist mindset.

It’s not strange. We’ve been indoctrinated with this “survival of the fittest” idea, but that only applies to some genetic adaptations. Throughout ecosystems, what we see much more prevalent is survival of the most cooperative.

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.
Leonard Gall (left) architect of the new ballroom, stands with Hitler and Albert Speer at the other major construction project in 1936, the Haus der Deutschen Kunst in MünchenThe new ballroom and reception hall attached to the Old Reich Chancellery, with the floor removed to reveal the Vorbunker.
