BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Facebook post from Seattle Police Department, November 19, reading: "Today we welcomed 10 new officers to the Seattle Police Department. If you are looking to join the team, head over to https://seattlepolicejobs.com/" The image below has a header reading "In These Halls.... Training the Guardians of Demcoracy" The photo is of ten men flanking Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes

How's that 30 by 30 goal going, guys?

Someone very close to Putin once explained to me that Putin thinks that all Westerners can be bought. We have no values; only a price. Dmitriev's prominent role in drafting the latest "peace plan" underscores that Putin assessment. I hope Putin is wrong. I fear for some, he might be right.

Thank you for speaking up, Eloise! 👏🏼

We are witnessing a poisonous effort to destroy what the vast majority of Americans know is a key pillar of public health.

Vaccines are responsible for 40% of the reduction in child mortality achieved in the last half century.

Missouri court strikes down book ban law that pushed libraries to remove hundreds of titles A law creating a misdemeanor offense for school employees who supply ‘sexually explicit material’ to students is now void.

We are thrilled that reason has prevailed in Missouri and library books will be returned to the shelves!. www.stlpr.org/government-p...

A tweet from “Sibylle @AHaschi” reads: “So let me get this straight… The 30-year-old ‘Young Republicans’ being openly racist on group chats are kids, but the 13-year-olds in those files were suddenly ‘young women’?”

MAGA math.

There is no path to decarbonization without transit.

There is no path to abundant housing without transit.

There is no path to restoring democracy without transit.

There is no "affordability" without transit.

There is no clean energy transition without transit.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

Headshot, young girl with glasses.

This is me when I was about 15. I had been on one date with a boy. My age. On a hayride with a youth church group. We were all still children. I was lucky. I was safe. But I would have been vulnerable. In those days we were taught to respect and obey our elders. No one expected abuse.

Listen.

With progressive council wins, Spokane swings left • Washington State Standard The wins give progressives a 6-1 advantage on the City Council, and also further cement Spokane’s status as an oasis of blue in eastern Washington.

Spokane’s results say it all: Democrats are fired up, showing up, and shifting the map.
When we fight, we win. And we’re just getting started!

Tell SiriusXM: Drop Megyn Kelly

Please join me in signing this petition launched by the gender justice nonprofit UltraViolet demanding that SiriusXM drop Megyn Kelly. Kelly's comments minimizing Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of teen girls are reckless and irresponsible. app.sosha.ai/s/KoCECp65

So this morning I get an urgent email for a same day cardiology appointment at my local treatment centre.

I was surprised (and alarmed) but fine. I moved things around and went there a few minutes ago.

Only there was no real appointment. The receptionist said I wasn't supposed to receive any 1/

"You can't un-invent AI!" We can't un-invent asbestos either. That doesn't mean we have to use it.

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.

Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.

Let people find joy where they can, please.
