I’m just a simple cavewoman. But there is one thing I do know… It is illegal to buy votes. Under 18 U.S.C. § 597, it is a crime to offer, give, solicit, or accept compensation and exchange for voting, withholding a vote, or voting for or against a particular candidate.

One of Professor Timothy Snyder's public lectures on Eastern European history series. This one is on a generation of people whom I group up in utter awe of, for their commitment to the idea that we don't have to just accept dictators, that we can live better. snyder.substack.com/p/east-europ...

Funny you say that, cause 50 yrs ago, scientists working at oil companies like Exxon pretty much said the same thing about fossil fuels extraction & consumption. I guess it’s gonna be a question of which destroys most of humanity first -oc, we could tax & regulate these broligarchs & save humanity.
So maybe we don’t have to tackle climate change after all. 🤷🏻♂️

ICE is state-sponsored terrorism. It must end. Defund and dismantle ICE. Enact fair, effective, anti-racist immigration reform. In the meantime, we need to protect our neighbors by donating time and money to organizations who are protecting immigrants and citizens, like PAXIS app. Donate if you can.

OpenAI needs to be shut, all money given to victims & San Francisco. Then California needs to take over what ever is left, make it like radio, broadcast TV, public broadcasting. It is built on the ideas & work of humans so it belongs to humans. ATL💡: It should be controlled by local libraries.
OpenAI is now facing more than 50 consumer harm and wrongful death lawsuits alleging that extensive use of ChatGPT resulted in psychological harm, physical injury, and even the deaths of users and/or those around them. futurism.com/artificial-i...

As we elders, our daughters, and our granddaughters continue the fight for power, equality, and respect, we hold you in our hearts with love and gratitude. Rest in peace and power, Gloria Steinem. 🤍
Gloria Steinem, Personification of the Women’s Movement, Dies at 92 (Gift Article)
She challenged sexist assumptions, helping women develop a sense of self-worth and gain a measure of equality at work, at home and in society at large.

I’ve been saying Democrats need to flip 4 Senate seats. We better make it 5 because at this point, we can’t bet the Senate majority on John Fetterman staying a Democrat. Watch…

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾
Ms Magazine was the only national publication that covered our fight for transparency after Beverly Hills employees and council members interfered in the opening of an abortion clinic in the city. I’m forever grateful for Gloria Steinem’s vision and persistence.
After antiabortion extremist groups convinced city officials to help prevent the opening of an all-trimester clinic in Beverly Hills, Calif., where will they try next? From our Spring print issue:

Missouri Supreme Court rules new GOP-drawn map can’t be used for November elections
The court said a referendum seeking to put the map up for a vote must be placed on the ballot, meaning the state’s elections this fall will take place under its old congressional lines.
