When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.
With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.
If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check.
In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Other kids called Trachtenberg a bitch, but in our group of child stars, we all wanted to be like her.

As others have said, the greatest transfer of wealth in US history will not be from the Boomers to their children but from them to the US healthcare system. The US is designed to make people insolvent and to keep them poor once they're there.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Calls and text messages have flooded me in the last 72 hours from friends and colleagues in Sierra Leone and elsewhere: Are my meds going to be cut off? Am I going to die? I don't know what to tell them. I don't know what to tell anyone. Hope is my whole jam, but I feel very distant from it.

This is a great question for all of congress to think about.
Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ?
Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates

I wonder how much the dissolution of FEMA and cancellation of flooding infrastructure programs is going to increase insurance premiums?
Especially as the population ages, inflation spikes, and a large % of housing stock is used as short term rentals in high risk areas.

Begging the political press to stop just reporting on what Trump says he's done, and actually investigating what has *actually* happened. The focus on rushing out stories to be first is letting the MAGA world play you over and over and over again.

Considering we still don't know the level and depth of Salt Typhoon's infiltration, this seems hellishly bad.
DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.
This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.
That review is "dead," person familiar says.
