The fastest path to end this war is more pressure on Russia and more support to Ukraine.

Let this be the last war anniversary we mark. (2/2)

"The President Must Be Removed From Office"

Zeteo is calling today for Donald Trump to be democratically removed from office, via impeachment or the 25th Amendment. The evidence, as laid out by Zeteo's @andrewperez.bsky.social in today's First Draft, suggests he is unfit.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

Collins always has an excuse to vote against free and fair elections. It is the one issue on which she reliably proves she is in lockstep with the rest of her party. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

Do you feel like having these dinners has given you more hope?
Not necessarily the dinners, but the response has been so cool. I wrote about it three times last year, and it was some of the most viral stuff I’ve ever written. The videos I made got millions of views.

I’ve been in the public eye as a professional political operative for nearly a decade. I’ve published two books. And the most-read thing I’ve done is talking about my husband cooking dinner. That is bananas to me.

I think it’s indicative of a hunger for very concrete things you can do to build community in this moment.

That is bananas to me. I think it’s indicative of a hunger for very concrete things you can do to build community in this moment.

In the same way that I’m hopeful because I’ve seen 80,000 people sign up to run for office last year, I’m hopeful because every day my DMs have someone saying, β€œWe just had our first potluck! I was inspired by your post. It was really fun.”

It’s the same idea as the work we do at Run for Something, empowering people to take agency in their lives and run for office. I’m on brand in every space.

You don’t have to settle for things being bad. You have incredible agency in your life.

If your social life sucks, there are some things you can’t fix β€” but sometimes you can. It requires putting yourself out there and being vulnerable, and sometimes someone breaks a glass or flakes at the last minute, and that’s part of it.

But if you want things to be better in any aspect of your life β€” political, personal, social β€” just because you cannot fix every root problem that has caused it, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to fix some.

You have agency. Things don’t have to suck.

"You have agency. Things don't have to suck." is basically the thesis of my entire career & life.

I explain what I mean -- politically, socially, emotionally -- in this convo about our year of hosting weekly dinners. forevers.substack.com/p/friendship...

Tell Your Senators: Protect our Democracy, Vote NO on the SAVE Act Contact Congress today!

Susan Collins has apparently decided to give Republicans the votes needed to pass the SAVE Act. This is a three-alarm emergency. We must act swiftly.

Tell every Senator right now we absolutely cannot let this pass:

Instead of cutting cancer and Alzheimer’s research by nearly half like Trump wantedβ€”I secured a more than $415 million increase to fund NIH and lifesaving medical research.

I said I would tear up Trump's budget and write a new one and that's exactly what I did.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is aboutβ€”we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Epstein-Barr, herpes, and shingles vaccines shelved should get people hounded out of society. That’s beyond anti-vaccine or anti-intellectualism. It’s reactionary know-nothingism. If there’s such a thing as technological solutionism, this is tech problematicizing.
