And we need real campaign finance reform, buttressed by congressional findings that show where the Court has gotten all of this factually wrong. Election reform that restores power to the people rather than the mapmakers. A system that allows democracy back in.

These #vegan double chocolate waffles were delicious. Never mind, the main ingredient was...BLACK BEANS! They are high protein, zero fat and minimal refined sugar, only two tablespoons in a double batch. I subbed in 1 cup of exotic grain flour. #vitamix

A graphic with the word "Foss" in bold blue text, where the letter "F" is represented by the Forgejo logo. In the background, is a Titanic-like ocean liner with the word "GitHub" displayed on its side. The ship flies a white flag with a red logo and features a red, devil cat. The ship is steering towards an iceberg logo. Below the ship, there are two arrows: one pointing to the Codeberg logo labeled "(COOL)" and the other pointing to the boat labeled "(EVIL)".

Thank you, Zev. If you lived closer, we could be breakfast buddies!

"Agree to disagree" is reserved for things like "I don't like marmite." Not homophobia, transphobia, not human rights. Not basic common decency. We do not have a difference of opinion here. We have a difference in morality. Disagreeing with the validity of someone's identity and the rights and services they deserve or don't deserve because of it is discrimination, not disagreement. David A. Evans

What's more likely, that 25+ women, over decades, maliciously decided to accuse a man of eerily similar & grotesque sexual misconduct, exposing themselves to the censure, mockery, & disbelief of society...

Or that this known pathological liar & serial predator DID IT?

YouTube video by Katie Couric Jeffrey Epstein survivor Jess Michaels on her story and the importance and impact of the recent news

I’m not a fan of Katie Couric, but this popped up in my feed. I watched it & I highly recommend watching it.

One of Epstein’s rape victims speaks candidly about her terrible experience.

Political priorities, I think both the new left party and Zack's leadership bid for the Greens are encouraging. No illusions that changing English politics for the better is a huge up hill battle. A bit of push back against the genocide in Palestine and against racism here, would be positive!

Where the Rosenbergs tried in a military court? I'm not a lawyer and don't know in what jurisdiction treason is.

It's as if treason is less than a misdemeanor. I'm against the death penalty, but excile, hard labor, Guantanamo, etc, should be considered.

Black Americans Are Going Vegan At A Higher Rate Than Anyone Else. Here's Why And How You Can Do It Too. | Essence We spoke with "By Any Greens Necessary" author and 10 Million Black Vegan Women founder Tracye McQuirter, MPH for tips on making the transition.

“I always say 1st that the main reason for this is that going vegan is the smart thing to do! It’s healthiest for people, animals, & the planet. And the 2nd reason is that this is not new. We have a long history of eating plant-centered foods” ♥️🌱

The best startup advice I ever got came from an outdoorsman.

"You can't rush the fire. But you can't let it die either."

Some problems need time to heat up before you can work them out.

Stop forcing solutions. Start tending them.

#Juneteenth, significant because it celebrates the Emancipation Proclimation reaching all states/territories. It recognizes the delay in the #LAW reaching outlying areas (#Texas). We are still feeling and dealing with the effects of slavery and colonialism here and around the world. #truth

We should have RCV everywhere, every election. And lower the barriers keeping other parties off ballots. Penalize all the frivolous party lawsuits, as well.
