I hadn’t realized the extent to which fear for their lives is motivating Senate Republicans to vote to confirm Trump’s nominees. Our ancestors went to war and risked their lives for this democracy and we can’t seem to count on our elected officials to do the same. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The difference in both the Queens bus network and map redesign is ten times better. Running buses without deviation and consolidating redundant routes, along with using route colors based on frequency, makes the system much cleaner and easier to understand.

Today I counted more than 50 subreddits that went through with banning links from X, reaching more than 40 million combined members. At least 20 million of those members were encouraged to join Bluesky, instead.

More than 50 Reddit communities ban X links to protest Musk
The cascade of link bans came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute, which many cited in their protests, among other things.
