Practicing lovingkindness; sometimes unsuccessfully. Laughter is the greatest antidote to fear. Bearing witness. Good trouble. Necessary trouble.

Ukrainian war veteran Andrii Madzharov walked from Ukraine to Belgium, covering over 1,500 kilometers.

The main goal of his journey was to remind Europeans that the war in Ukraine is still ongoing. In addition, Andrii was raising funds for electronic warfare equipment for his brothers-in-arms.

RFK literally running away from a man who has collapsed and needs help is... so on the nose.

Tragically, he is the head of our Health and Human Services Department.

Happy Election Day! For all the talk these days of skyrocketing utility bills, & affordability crises, it's unfortunate that one race you won't see receiving much national coverage is the one that probably matters most re: utility bills: Georgia's Public Service Commission. (1/2)

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

I see criticism of the ACA from the right and left that it funnels money to insurers. It does increase coverage, and that benefits insurers, and hospitals. But it's not unique to the ACA. It's also true of Medicare, Medicaid, and employer coverage. It's how our system works.

They already drew the maps.
They already picked the winners.
They already decided your vote doesn’t matter.
We don’t get another chance at this.

There are many histories of women who were locked away in mental hospitals for most of their lives because they were too "difficult" for their husbands to deal with, or had post-partum depression, etc. etc.

Until 1964, an employer could refuse to hire someone
just for being a woman.

Until 1965, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to
prescribe birth control for married women.

Until 1972, it was legal for a bank to refuse to let a
married woman get her own account.

Until 1972, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to
prescribe birth control for single women.

Until 1974, it was legal to refuse to sell a house to a
woman.

Until 1988, it was legal for landlords to refuse to rent a
unit to a woman with children.

Your granny didn't stay married because her
generation had a stronger moral compass than people
today. She stayed because society LITERALLY stole
away all her independence. Think about that the next
time someone wants to go back to "the good old
days". It was only good for men ..... and only for men of
a certain demographic, if you catch my meaning.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Too many today don't realize how recent women's rights and liberation really are. And we're on the cusp of losing it all.

I did not think the Blue Jays were terrible. on the contrary, they fought valiantly and nearly won! remember, the only reason LA won was because of all their IMMIGRANT players.
