If we want progressive Dems on the ballot in Colorado, here is how you can help get them there: by caucusing for them.

You can do this as follows:

1) Make sure your affiliation is listed as Democratic.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Update to the PDF update:

Dropbox/Drive/Notion apparently do not like it when hundreds of people try to download the same file at the same time.

Gotta figure out another solution and send out a third email.

Thanks for being patient while I try not to die of embarrassment 💕

"Do not pollute the common well."

AI has done precisely that, polluted the information ecology we all live in and draw from. Think about what YouTube was like just 3 years ago. Think about what search was like 5 years ago.

AI pollution is forced down every throat.

Sure. Or grill them harder. Question their competence. “You’re a US Senator. How can you not know about this? This is a big deal. So are you genuinely ignorant or are you lying about being ignorant? Which do you think is worse for your constituents and American democracy?”
If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

“I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

It’s been a busy day, but I want to draw your attention to this critically important paper by @jonshaffer.bsky.social and colleagues.

In it, they show that since its strict abortion ban was enacted, Texas has seen a significant increase in EMTALA violations involving obstetric emergencies.
Obstetric-Related Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act Violations and No Health Exception Bans
This difference-in-differences analysis examines changes in obstetric-related Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act violation filings following state and federal restrictions on abortion.

If your rental has a dual smartlock/keylock, and your landlord won't give you a key, read your lease. If it mentions anything about receiving keys, use that clause to force them to give you a physical key. Then find the router in your home that connects your smartlock to their system and turn it off

Folks want women to expose the men who do them wrong, but almost every time, the woman gets more backlash for being with him in the first place & everyone jumps in her face about missing red flags & “accountability.”

If you aren’t a “perfect victim,” it might not even feel worth it to share.

Run it on electricity if you can but honestly, that is way WAY less important than simply having a bus at all. Put a bus there. There too. Make it come twice as often. Pay the drivers. Wave at them and say thanks, too. Busses, people!
