I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

A month after the Epstein files deadline, only a fraction of DOJ records have been released.
Does no one have the power to confront this obstruction of justice or are we to be “ok” with the fact we now are ruled by a dictator.

Throughout Civilizations, some humans have tried to evolve humanity through Science, Philosophy, Social Change only to be trounced or delayed by Religious Groups' archaic "traditions" and flat-out primitive fear of life-changing/evolving knowledge. Humanity could be so much more by now!#TransRights
As the Supreme Court weighs whether states can ban trans students from girls’ & women’s sports, this investigation from @kathrynajoyce.bsky.social shows how those fights are seeded locally—through school boards and a Christian Right legal group, the Independence Law Center.

In Pennsylvania, parents are challenging Independence Law Center policies while trying to avoid a legal case that could go to the conservative Supreme Court.
