It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.

Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Republicans control the Senate

But with Roy Cooper in North Carolina, the emergence of @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social in Iowa and Sherrod Brown maybe returning in Ohio, the map looks a lot better

If Democrats beat Susan Collins and @ossoff.bsky.social holds his seat, the balance of power will change

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · Sep 1

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

"Joie de vivre”—the phrase itself makes me smile! 😊 I rediscovered this joy in Paris, during the month I lived there this summer. Leaving the US gave me needed perspective and was deeply restorative. Read more about how this retreat changed me. Full post here: rosemarieday.com/2025/08/29/r...

Rediscovering My “Joie de Vivre” (Joy of Life)!

“Joie de vivre” – the very phrase brings a big smile to my face! And where better to rediscover it than Paris? The city has a kind of magic, and I love that I captured so many people’s …

"A mural of the Statue of Liberty in shame" by JDL Street Ar in Lille , Roubaix France 🇫🇷

Mural by JDL Street Art in Roubaix, Lille, France, depicting the Statue of Liberty covering her face with both hands in a gesture of shame. The figure is painted in shades of grey with teal accents on the torch and crown, set against a muted background with a golden halo-like circle. The artwork spans the side of a tall brick building, contrasting modern street art with historic European architecture in the surrounding cityscape.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.

Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all

Thank you, Larry, for your clear summary of the tremendous damage this horrible mega-bill will do. It's time for us all to lobby the House!

"Make no mistake: This Republican policy bill is effectively a partial repeal of the Affordable Care Act to help pay for tax cuts, and should it reach President Trump’s desk, it would represent the biggest rollback in federal support for health coverage ever."

Bonjour from Paris! I'm on a solo retreat to rest, reflect & reconnect with creativity. Inspired by The Artist’s Way & life’s inflection points, I’m sharing my summer reading list—feminist, reflective, & full of journeys. 📚🇫🇷

Think about it. Pregnant women's lives on the line when rural hospitals close. Sure doesn't sound like "family values" to me! 😫

Democratic Women’s Caucus @demwomencaucus.bsky.social · Jun 15

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill would force pregnant mothers in rural communities to drive hours to delivery rooms because of hospital closures.

Women deserve better. Especially when every second counts.
