For millions of us, this was the first time we ever saw Rob Reiner. …When he became “Meathead” on “All in the Family.”

He was brilliant from Day One.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

"One of the things people are commonly worried about with this kind of program is that when you give people cash they’re going to be less likely to go to work and be less productive members of society. And we didn’t actually find any evidence of that in our study."

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

NEW: Utah Republicans have been skeptical of solar for years, criticizing its footprint on the landscape and viewing it as an unreliable energy source.

But that skepticism hadn’t yielded successful anti-solar legislation — until now.

Solar power accounts for two-thirds of the new projects waiting to connect to the state’s power grid. Utah Republicans’ hard turn against solar mirrors President Donald Trump’s hostile approach to the...

Why would anybody come to the United States from Europe now?
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.
Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.

Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

News so good we can bear-ly stand it:

In response to a lawsuit by conservation groups, a federal court today struck down a U.S. Forest Service plan to log more than 16,500 acres of pine forests just outside #YellowstoneNationalPark, in the Custer Gallatin National Forest.

For too long, mining companies have paid much less than they should have for their usage of our public lands.

That’s why I introduced the CLAIM Act, which would stop these giveaways and ensure companies pay responsibly.

Our public lands belong to us, not the companies that seek to destroy them.

@biologicaldiversity.org is suing to wipe Trump's face off the America the Beautiful National Parks pass.

By law, the pass must display the winning photo of a federal #PublicLands picture contest. Instead, Trump plastered his own face on it.

Trump's vanity pass is not American, beautiful, or legal

This is true!
I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Congress has turned the unlimited power of the Federal GOV on the non-profit Center for Biological Diversity

Why? Bc the CBD is opposing a foreign-owned corporation from mining the Boundary Waters Canoe National Wilderness in MN

Old enough to remember when USFWS would be fighting this obscenity…
