I’ve been reading I Want a Better Catastrophe by Andrew Boyd, a thought provoking work on our planet’s predicament. (A mere problem is solvable; a predicament is not though it can perhaps be mitigated.) For some time now, I’ve been contemplating the following quote by Dr. Jamey Hecht:/1

January 6 was only 5 and a half years ago, and we’ve already cycled through investigation, indictment, conviction, pardon, and now gleeful promises to do it again only with actual hanging rather than just chants about it. Nice job GOP.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

The SAVE Act was never about election integrity or keeping elections fair. It is about building a paywall around the ballot and hoping we’re too exhausted or too broke to participate. The SAVE Act is meant to keep us home so they can steal an election. jesspiper.substack.com/p/voter-pass...

#DemocracyDocket #MarcElias Our job is to do whatever we can to protect our right to vote in free and fair elections. That means watching election officials and educating ourselves in how laws in our states expand or restrict voting rights.

Babies are most at risk from Hepatitis B. Many adults carry it without knowing, and it spreads easily. The Hep B vaccine at birth is safe, effective, and prevents lifelong infection and liver disease. Don’t listen to the regime’s disinformation machine — protect the kids.

Women aren’t just refusing to “shut up” — we’re dismantling the whole playbook. Misogyny is the regime’s spine, and women organizing in huge numbers is how democracies survive. From DC to Tennessee, we’re feeding neighbors, flipping districts, and breaking their script. Hell no.
