Having served with Raul Grijalva and worked with him on environmental matters, it is a particularly joyful to see his daughter Adelita take up his mantle in Congress. I am happy for Raul and the nation. Finally.

This moment says everything about why Zohran Mamdani won.
A journalist in a wheelchair asked about accessibility and Mamdani didnโt talk down to him, didnโt deflect, didnโt politicize it. He listened.
Heโs the kind of leader who respects everyone, every faith, every class, every flag.

๐งตThey say Virginia Giuffre's book is a memoir.
It isn't.
It is a reckoning.
Horrific evidence stitched with memory, the kind that burns when spoken aloud.

OK, regardless of source, credit where due: That's a great headline.

Loud, shouty people on digital forums give the impression that climate is a minor, even fringe concern, despite the overwhelming evidence of harm.
But vast majorities in every country are smarter than that

The Axios boys are giddy about the Ds offer, interpreting it as a big climb down. I'm not sure that interpretation is right. But this is an important moment to make clear to @schumer.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social et al, that anything less than this offer needs to be rejected out of hand.

The squares for Curium and Meitnerium from periodictable.com, featuring portraits of their respective namesakes, are presented above a caption "Only two women have chemical elements named after them.
Both were born on November 7th."
(I'm aware that there was some ambiguity surrounding Lise Meitner's birthday, but Ruth Lewin Sime's biography notes that Meitner celebrated the occasion on November 7.)
Happy birthday to the only two women with elements named after them on the periodic table: #MarieCurie & #LiseMeitner.
As I do every year, I will once again repeat my proposal that November 7 should be International #WomenInSTEM Day!

This is such a grift, we can figure out food, housing, or water but they have the audacity to ask for MORE MONEY for the plagiarism machine that sometimes becomes evil.

We know Clara Barton. But have you heard of Laura Birkhead?
During World War I, she ran ambulance services, hospitals, and organized relief for French war orphansโshe earned the French Medal of Honor.ย
Her story is a reminder that history is full of quiet heroes.
