Being a Central Iowan transplant in #StLouis in the winter because no one in this city and this state seem to understand snow mgmt and the entire fucking state seems to shut down even after minimal snowfall. I’ve been here for almost 15 years and every year gets at least one big snowstorm 1/2

In 1850, the California government banned the controlled burning that Indigenous people had been doing for centuries. The practice controlled the forest density, scaled down undergrowth, and promoted fire-resistant species. It reduced the severity, mileage, and overall number of forest fires. 1/5

I will say as a Jew and a rabbi that this is a profound desecration of the holy and of history.
On top of all the other atrocities and harms.

Israel has obliterated the mausoleum of Simon Peter, the Apostle of Christ, in Shama, southern Lebanon.
A sacred site that has stood for over 2,000 years, now lies in ruins.
This is not “self-defense”.
This is a war crime and a crime against history.

Every #Project2025 policy reads like this
“The previous policy of treating everyone equally and fairly was, actually, bad and we are rescinding that policy and instituting rigorous normative checks. If you are not normal, you will be deemed an undesirable and swiftly eliminated or jailed”

Menopause, the other menstrual taboo for Indian women
Indian women on average hit menopause a few years earlier than their counterparts in the West, studies show. Yet there are few resources to help them deal with it.

When we were children, we were taught that no matter how you reached, no matter much wealth and power you accumulated, you were not above the law.
We can no longer teach our children that.
And that's really fucking tragic.

I saw this over on Threads, and I think this is a good point in regards to Dems getting blamed for campaigns they didn't actually run:
"A lot of people voted against (perceived) Democratic voters rather than Democratic candidates."
