Dems talking about flipping seats in β26 and β28 better have a clear plan for how theyβre going to rebuild.
Iβm not talking about βhope and change.β
Iβm talking what is the timeline for codifying Roe, passing ERA, reinstating VRA, restoring DOJ, rebuilding DOE. Anything less is simply unserious.

Years ago I remember a colleague lamenting the challenge of ever increasing revenue for education because constitutionally, Colorado has to have a statewide vote on any initiative to raise income tax. This is incredible work thatβs a long time coming.

Citing a Trump executive order banning "gender ideology," the VA is withholding coverage and treatment for male veterans with breast cancer, an increasing condition among veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during service. 100 male veterans a year are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Atlanta Public Schools moves forward with plan to close, repurpose 16 schools and realign neighborhoods
Atlanta Public Schools has released its final plan for a massive restructuring that could reshape neighborhoods across the city.
When a city (Atlanta) where land values have skyrocketed since 2012engages in "faux austerity" & moves to close schools, which will harm mostly Black families.
Meanwhile, city moves to extend TIFs that will divert billions away from schools & local services & they frame it as "reducing inequality"

Screenshot of the QuickTime Player app on Mac, circa 2002. Itβs from Appleβs peak glossy era. The main frame of the player looks like brushed metal. The top 2/3 of the window is the video player frame, currently showing the QuickTime logo (a glossy blue capital letter Q). Beneath that is a progress bar for the video. Below that are the playback and volume controls, all of which are designed to look like water drops on the metal surface with icons inside.

If a music streaming platform found a way to offer a one-time download/transfer of all playlists and follow data from Spotify, ala the great migration from GoodReads to StoryGraph, I suspect theyβd see a significant influx of users pretty quickly.
