Thank you for showing up! The big city protests are great, but the small town ones are where minds are changed.

For this price tag, over 60,000 people could've been covered by Medicaid for 1 year.

Sea surface warming faster than expected Satellite observations show that sea-surface temperatures over the past four decades have been getting warmer at an accelerated pace.

Satellite data from the European Space Agency shows the surface temperature of the oceans is warming 4.5 times faster than they were at the end of the β€˜80s. It’s not easy to predict climate change, and the reality keeps turning out worse than we thought it would be πŸ§ͺπŸ”­

Also I just realized @sarahljaffe.bsky.social is back on here so I can hat tip her for my paraphrase of 'work won't love you back,' her eponymously titled EXCELLENT book on the myth of 'cause work' and struggle to survive under capitalism, which you should definitely read!

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

For many Americans, consumptive, entertainment technologies have become panem et circenses…allowing folks to isolate themselves into dopamine cycles of distraction during massive time of political and cultural unrest.

Unplug and reconnect.

For some disabled protestors, β€œHands Off” went virtual "We know we have to teach everyone how to include us."

Not all β€œHands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The formation of the DFL Party Feminist Caucus - MinnPost The caucus was founded to advocate for feminist positions on issues like poverty among women, abortion, and the Equal Rights Amendment.

A trip down Minnesota's second-wave feminist memory lane.

Some of the same women who tried to save abortion funding in the 1970s (and whose efforts were stymied by men in the DFL) are still around but now railing against the DSA, which supports abortion funding.
