A 30 second exposure of the early morning sky - pine trees are silhouetted against the pre-dawn lightening, and the constellation Orion is clearly visible

Everyone say good morning to Orion

(Pretty pleased at the performance of this slow shutter app on my very vintage iPhone SE2)

Saw someone say, โ€œStop hoarding books, we donโ€™t need paper books anywayโ€ and I canโ€™t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

I feel like part of the problem is that in the modern era, especially in the United States, people think that in order to count, they have to post about their activism or what they're doing.

But here's the thing: you don't.

99% of what I do is stuff I never mention on social media.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistakeโ€ฆ His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche says โ€˜organizedโ€™ Trump protesters could be investigated Blanche spoke as DOJ sought to walk back Attorney General Pam Bondiโ€™s comments about "hate speech," which landed her in hot water with conservatives.

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI?

Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

Members of the Presidentโ€™s own family mocked the attack on Paul Pelosi by posting pics of underwear and a hammer.

But god forbid youโ€™re a comedian pointing out the truth about a white supremacist.

Gen Z and Millennials Prefer Socialism To Capitalism, New Poll Says โ€œYoung progressive voters are stepping into their full economic and political power."

A new poll from Data for Progress found that โ€œvoters of all partiesโ€ are open to leftist policies, and that a majority of Democratic voters polled preferred democratic socialism to capitalism โ€œwhen written definitions of each are read aloud to them.โ€

Love, equity, justice. They're part of who Ben and I are, and they've always been the true foundation of Ben & Jerry's. From the very beginning, Ben and I believed that our values and the pursuit of justice were more important than the company itself. If the company couldn't stand up for the things we believed, then it wasn't worth being a company at all.
It was always about more than just ice cream; it was a way to spread love and invite others into the fight for equity, justice and a better world. Coming to the conclusion that this is no longer possible at Ben & Jerry's means I can no longer remain part of Ben & Jerry's. If I can't carry those values forward inside the company today, then I will carry them forward outside, with all the love and conviction I can.
With love,
Jerry

To the Ben & Jerry's Community:
It's with a broken heart that I've decided I can no longer, in good conscience, and after 47 years, remain an employee of Ben & Jerry's. I am resigning from the company Ben and I started back in 1978. This is one of the hardest and most painful decisions I've ever made.
This isn't because I've lost my love for the people at Ben & Jerry's. Quite the opposite.
The folks who show up every day in our factories, scoop shops, and offices are some of the most passionate, caring, and values-driven people you'll ever meet. They are the soul of Ben & Jerry's.
What has made their work so important to me, and what allowed the company to be more than just an ice cream company, was the independence to pursue our values, which was guaranteed when Unilever bought the company. For more than twenty years under their ownership, Ben & Jerry's stood up and spoke out in support of peace, justice, and human rights, not as abstract concepts, but in relation to real events happening in our world.
That independence existed in no small part because of the unique merger agreement Ben and I negotiated with Unilever, one that enshrined our social mission and values in the company's governance structure in perpetuity. It's profoundly disappointing to come to the conclusion that that independence, the very basis of our sale to Unilever, is gone.
And it's happening at a time when our country's current administration is attacking civil rights, voting rights, the rights of immigrants, women, and the LGBTQ community.
Standing up for the values of justice, equity, and our shared humanity has never been more important, and yet Ben & Jerry's has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power. It's easy to stand up and speak out when there's nothing at risk. The real test of values is when times are challenging and you have something to lose.
