The First Bright Thing is one of the best books I’ve read within the last several years. In a time right now where every day feels like history is happening so hard and fast and without mercy, this book will remind you of how humans have always found hope and the will to fight for it.

Never in my life did I think I would see this from a mayor to police: “We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different….”
I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)
to the Aurora Police
following egregious attacks by immigration in Aurora and related protests

there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics.
both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”

Taken together, it's clear that the MAHA movement thinks mothers are the main, if not sole, reason children get sick.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.
It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.
This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.
