THIS.
I've been saying this for many, many months.
This is a time for a new kind of politics.
We don't live in an Old World Two-Party system anymore.
"Reaching across the aisle" doesn't work so well.
It's fascism vs. democracy.
And you don't compromise with fascists.
this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028
Sounds like it’s the GOP that’s playing politics with people’s livelihoods. Hold the line, Dems.

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.
I fail to see any problem.
Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

the DC takeover is a very frogs boiling situation
public perception is so important—it’s way too easy for folks to dismiss military playing on their phones & picking up trash—normalizing future occupations
so please tell your friends, family, & communities: THIS IS NOT OKAY. DO NOT SHRUG IT OFF.
If y'all are upset by the fact that there are millions of people who will flat refuse to vote for a horrible individual like Newsom, maybe spend the next three years finding any one of several hundred million people in the US that folks WILL vote for.
There's no shortage of decent candidates.
If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it:
Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.
When thinking about features to add to focus friend, @hankgreen.bsky.social, PLEASE do not add statistics or graphs. I see apps compared to focus friend and they all have these. Do. Not. Want.
I'm excited for you! I loved mine when I had cats.
📚 “Every citizen should know that libraries are under attack.”
In a new interview, Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle outlines the structural threats facing libraries today & the paths forward for an enduring library system.

There’s money for ICE
There’s money for concentration camps
There’s money for tax cuts for the wealthy
Yet there’s no money for healthcare, housing, food assistance, social support, or public broadcasting.
There’s no money to help the sick, homeless & starving
Suffering is a political choice
I would ask why you are awake but then I'd have to explain why I am also awake 😄

I'm just catching up on the after party today. I think there are ways that you can add moderators to the youtube live chat to help boot people.
It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.
It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.
Come what may, I will bet on us, every time, because there is no other bet worth placing. I am all in, fam. I will never stop looking for openings and aiming at them. I will never stop reaching for people and saying, “Take my hand. We can do this.” Because we are worth it.
Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.
📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.
So glad we all get to experience the Most Ironic Independence Day In American History.
Giving you all the virtual treats possible. Well done!
It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.
I've found the Culver's concretes to be a worthwhile replacement.
Damn, that sucks! I'm sorry you have to deal with it.
I didn't realize cottage cheese could be aweet
Provisions Subject to a 60-Vote Byrd Rule Point of Order Energy and Natural Resources NEPA compliance. These provisions deem offshore oil and gas projects as automatically compliant with the National Environmental Policy Act, nullifying these projects' environmental review processes. (Subsection 102(b)(4) and Subsection 102(b)(5)) Offshore oil and gas leasing. This subsection requires leases to be issued to successful bidders within 90 days after the lease sale. (Subsection 102(b)(6)) Ambler Road. This section requires the Secretary of the Interior to permit construction of Ambler Road, a controversial mining road in Alaska. (Section 201) Mandatory public land sales. This section mandates the unprecedented sale of millions of acres of public land, including from both Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service lands. (Section 301)
Renewable energy fees. This subsection removes the Secretary of the Interior's discretion to reduce fees for solar and wind projects on Bureau of Land Management land. (Subsection 303(e)) Geothermal leasing and royalties. These sections require the Secretary of the Interior to hold yearly geothermal lease sales and purport to change how geothermal royalties are calculated. (Section 305 and Section 306) Natural gas exports and imports. This section creates a pay-to-play regime for natural gas exports, allowing natural gas exporters to pay a fee to have their project be deemed "in the public interest," which is a requirement for approval. (Section 401)
HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too.
This isn't over, but this is a huge win.

I want to make sure y'all know that Kanopy and other library resources are not "free."
These resources are free to use, but do cost money. That money has been severely cut in many places.
Please use your librarians, but also advocate for them and their funding.
