The fire danced in her eyes. The flames swam, flared up, sank away, brightened again against the sooty stone, against the dark sky, against the pale sky, the gulfs of evening, the depths of air and light beyond the world.

Russia destroyed 100% of Odesa’s energy infrastructure. All substations were destroyed by missiles and drones.
The city has been completely left without electricity, hot water, and heating for over one million people, including all critical infrastructure.

Want to know why Trump doesn’t care about his standing in the polls? It’s because Trump doesn’t intend to leave office here’s how he plans to steal the next midterm election.

Take a moment to meet FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. He is the guy who is leading the agency that is working overtime to enrich his MAHA patrons by taking away your kids’ access to vaccines & essential medicines. He’s replacing evidence-based regulation with corruption.
FDA Commissioner Marty Makary built his platform not on science but on spectacle. Makary turned a medical career into a megaphone for misinformation. Once a surgeon and professor, he built his brand on public skepticism, rising to power by attacking the very scientific standards he now oversees.

I love listening to Sherrilyn explain things. (Right now on the Amicus pod with @dahlialithwick.bsky.social .) She said the civil rights movement was a democracy movement. Therefore, the backlash that has been going on ever since is an anti-democracy movement. Get motives out in the open.

I secured funding to build the Skagit County Flood Wall back in 2006.
Even during the catastrophic flooding we saw this week, that same flood wall protected downtown Mount Vernon.
Investments like this save lives and property. We need more, not less.

i don't want to be like "nothing matters" but the problem is really that domestic politics in the US makes discussing any kind of really serious policy issues at the moment impossible

The Trump administration is investigating whether Boston’s affordable housing policies “prioritized people of color and, in doing so, discriminated against white residents”.

You’re missing the part where they inevitably enact national ID & universal biometric identification. The very things conservatives once claimed would be unacceptable tyranny or even the mark of the Beast, but which they will blindly accept as legitimate because Trump, their god and king, says so.
Native-born American citizens don't have "immigration documents". And there's no requirement for naturalized citizens to carry their paperwork, either. And only about half of US citizens have a passport.
This is just fascism.

This is what solidarity in action looks like. The Senate must act now to pass this bill and stand with workers.

NEW: Russia is now demanding that Finland [and Sweden] leave NATO.
Russian FM Lavrov announced that the NATO arrangements demanded by Vladimir Putin in December 2021 are still in place and Europe's "last chance." Lavrov addressed his words directly to Finnish FM Valtonen on Thu.

This situation is very unpredictable. We saw that last night, with a thousand people needing to evacuate Burlington.
I encourage all Washingtonians to continue to stay alert and follow instructions from local officials. Keep yourself and our first responders safe.

It’s not your fault you’re sick.
It’s not your fault social supports are so inadequate.

None of it is your fault.
It’s ok to set and hold boundaries. If people get mad at you, that’s on them.

There’s so much guilt when you’re chronically ill.
Guilt over needing help from others.
Guilt over not getting better.
Guilt over needing financial assistance.
Guilt over not being “fine”.
Guilt over missing out on family and friend events.
Guilt becomes a constant companion.
