How to Get Rid of "Citizens United" We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

M is also in charge of whether the city of NY goes forward with the criminal charges against T now, so T has reasons both to fight him getting elected and to suck up to him now that he is in charge.

But perhaps if she goes now, she avoids upcoming impeachment votes, which would be used against her either way.

Yeah, it wasn’t the second of silence that pushed you closer to single-hood, bro. It was all the seconds spent asking that bonkers insulting question.

There will be a long industry shakeout, but in the end, why would we bother reading what no one bothered to write? Hold fast, trust your voice.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. πŸŽ‰

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Vulnerability and honesty don’t create trauma. It is hard for them to see you hurt, I know, but it isn’t damage. I wish you healing. The heart breaks open.

Trump Administration’s Proposed Funding Cuts to Head Start Would Harm Vulnerable Bucks County Kids - Bucks County Beacon β€œWe should be expanding access, not taking it away. Every child deserves a fair and equitable start, and I’ll fight in Congress to protect programs like Head Start that make that possible,” said Bucks...

Last week we reported about what the Trump Administration's plans to shutter Head Start would mean for Bucks County families. Yesterday, it was announced that the county's Head Start programs are scheduled to close on May 31 because of funding uncertainty. Here's What You Need to Know.

This reflects my experience of the rise of ableism stigma in general. We made a hard turn from Protect the Vulnerable, to β€œmaybe the v. should have separate lives”, then to β€œv. people would prolly die anyway”, to now β€œv. people are an obstacle to evolution”. Right down the eugenics rabbit hole.
