Celebrating the wins - each one! Is so important right now. I hope you can bottle some of this feeling up for when you need it later.

I was just scrolling your feed and when you said Hades is FF I thought immediately of Katee’s Hades 😆

*sighs in relief, my county is not participating*

You can *care* about many things and you can only take concrete & sustained action on 1 or 2 things.

How long has @jeff-merkley.bsky.social been on the Senate floor now?

Why have I not seen when I give a cursory check of the news, not even a little blurb?

Carry on, Senator!

Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

He wants X thing so he gets X thing is not a given. And to me that's the thing to uproot from people's consciousness. Because we're less than a year in and many people seem already defeated.

I’m so mad I missed my chance at the acoustic cuts! Hoping they come back around!

The loss of USAID haunts me. The impact to worldwide publjc health is catastrophic. It cost so little and yielded soft power and goodwill.

The worst thing you can do to these people is to not engage with them. It drives them mad.

Listen to an audiobook and power through

I wonder what the crossover is between dedicated nonfiction readers who are also dedicated romance readers is. Just me? I like my facts and history to be balanced out with happy endings.

I got to demonstrate bread mold today! Educational and sad!

lol, from the trenches of science in our homeschool day.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Thanks for this!

I wondered what sort of power governors could actually wield in requiring insurance to pay - or if it was going to be more of a “we are asking nicely, and you know this is cheaper than paying for the increased volume of care needed by an entirely unvaccinated population”

Pritzker Signs Order to Get Around US Limits on COVID-19 Vaccine “This is about making sure no family in Illinois is left wondering if they can protect themselves against preventable serious illness,” Gov. JB Pritzker said. “When the federal government abandons its...

Gov. JB Pritzker signed an executive order Friday to authorize medical professionals to provide updated COVID-19 vaccines to nearly anyone who wants it in Illinois, despite an effort by federal officials to limit access to the life-saving shot. @wttw.bsky.social
