Thank you @Jessica Valenti - I totally agree. I appreciate your daily reminders

In 2025, after following the discussion on abortion all throughout my adult life, I am convinced of certain things.

Abortion equals healthcare. Access to medical care is crucial to girls and women for numerous reasons.

To single out abortion as the place for compromise is to ignore the political reality of the last three years.

And in a moment when the stakes are so high—as women are literally dying—being both confidently wrong and hugely influential is straight up dangerous. jessica.substack.com/p/ezra-klein...

Nobel Peace Prizes have often been awarded to people who fight autocracy. Maria Corina Machado fits right into that tradition

Elias Wachtel knows that Gen Zers like him have an attention span that is shot and screen time that is “out of control.” So he switched to a dumbphone and embarked on the road to digital minimalism:
Can Gen Z Get Rid of Their iPhones?
My dumbphone does what an app could never do.

"Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world."

A photo of book themed paper art collage art that I made, inspired by Roald Dahl's "Matilda" that I made for my friends' indie bookstore here in New York City. It is various patterned paper in pink tones that have been cut and designed to look like stacks of books, with floral embellishments. Quote from "Matilda": "Somewhere in all of us is the power to change the world." Note: For anyone wondering, yes, that is my own handwriting.

Bakslag för klimatet. Liberaler och socialdemokrater lade sig platt för de konservativas krav på att försvaga och senarelägga EU-kraven på att företag ska redovisa klimatutsläpp. Insynen och möjligheten till ansvarsutkrävande försämras. Svensk moderat är ansvarig
