A judge ruled in September that the AZ Land Department violated open meeting laws when it approved part of the Copper World mine project. Foes say the agency made the same mistake last month when it re-approved the project.

@mcuban.bsky.social is a literal lifesaver. The $738 bill my kid got for 2 meds? His pharmacy refills ALL eight of his transplant meds now for less than half of that.

Bluesky is now the #2 social app in the US, Canada, and #3 in the UK 🦋

On bsky, ~30% of y'all are posters compared to the 1% main characters on other platforms. Turns out there's more chattiness & connection when you have algorithmic choice 🤭

One of the mysteries of this election is how the Democrats approached polling day with a set of policies on gender identity that they were neither proud to champion—nor prepared to disown.

Has anybody else noticed that the far right - who don't believe in global warming - instead believe that the government is behind disasters such as Hurricane Helene. Government created that hurricane . That's easier for them to believe than man made global warming.

Couple things on my mind today:

1. Thank you for everyone who knocked doors, donated, wrote postcards, etc.

It might not feel like it today, but you did good.

2. I know folks are going to want to disengage for a bit. That’s OK. Just don’t give up. This fight still matters.
