If we truly want to get money out of politics, we first have to invest in candidates who refuse to accept AIPAC, corporate, and billionaire funding.

They also need to be willing to get uncomfortable, acknowledge their mistakes, and demonstrate transparency by sharing how they are changing,

All right, tonight's local urgent needs.

With everything going all the way wrong here right now, it's all too easy to feel sorry for ourselves, but overall, we're very blessed.

So I'm posting two GFMs for local families that are probably the most significant right now.

We need more of these reminders in life...

A rising tide lifts all boats.

Unfortunately, the US has moved from the (promise of a) melting pot from School House Rocks days, to a very real pot on the stove with the temperature slowly increasing since Reagan.

Ten years old, and we're still being willfully ignorant in the face of growing evidence.
This is just over 10 years old now.

When Adam Curtis released this in 2014 it was FUNDAMENTAL to my reorienting of myself and how I navigate through the world.

Every year I've gone back and used it to explain our current scenario to someone; and somehow it only becomes MORE prescient each time.

Thank you @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social for making sure people know about this.

Everyone, please call your elected officials and let them know **you know** about this, and it absolutely is not acceptable!
CONGRESSIONAL DEMS:

GET ON THIS, NOW. You are not entitled to a weekend while your most vulnerable constituents, all of whom help pay your salaries, are having their lives endangered this way.

The Department of Agriculture is demanding states hand over personal data of food assistance recipients — including Social Security numbers, addresses and, in at least one state, citizenship status, according to emails shared with NPR.

Re-upping this one. We’re at $328 right now.
Three brilliant young Black organizers need support covering expenses for an upcoming conference.

We need new voices in the movement & this is your moment to act.

We’re raising $750 total to get them there.
Every bit helps.

This is a local shelter in Taos that the **previous shelter management** created a lot of problems.

Now, the new management is trying to clean up the mess, and could really use your help.

Sharing is caring.

Thank you!
And tonight's local urgent needs. I have no time right now, so I'm quoting last night's thread. It's still an emergency here.

Go give if you can:
All right, tonight's urgent local needs.

Again, it's the shelter.

We don't know how the bake sale went today; I've been buried under an avalanche of other obligations, and so has Wings.

But here's the original thread, and what's in it matters: bsky.app/profile/wing....
