#ResistanceRoots Margaret “Mardy” Murie was born on this day in 1902 in Seattle. Known as the Grandmother of the Conservation Movement, she dedicated her life to protecting America’s wilderness, playing a key role in passing landmark environmental laws and establishing protected areas in Alaska. /1

Greetings from Kyiv, that survived another russian night attack. 2,600 high-rise buildings are now without heating (in addition to the 1,100 that will remain without it this season). We still have some. In a few days, frosts will return. I don’t know how to make the world listen.

Voters respond to fighters (e.g., AOC, Pritzker, Booker) who do not hold back in attacking MAGA extremists. Prefer fresher voices expressing righteous anger rather than old fogies acting as if opposition is futile. Favor politicians who pledge dramatic change, not more of the same

Bluntly, democracy is in rotten shape. Despite heroic lawyering, growing protests, and dogged D opposition, the Trump regime has progressed in its quest to create a police state, seize poser from Congress power and intimidate law firms, universities, and media cos open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Paid thuggery. How is DHS paying for this when they cave already blown their budget?

DHS CONTRACTORS FOR KIDNAPPING: These job adverts confirm that DHS-ICE is hiring people off the streets with as little as 2 years military service. Plus CBP is hiring former War on Terror analysts to hunt Americans and migrants alike. Straight up Secret Police shit. These were on LinkedIn.

Our health is endangered by the Big Disastrous Bill.

Loren Adler@lorenadler.bsky.social

From CBO: • 11.8 million lose coverage due to One Big Beautiful Bill provisions • 16M fewer w/ coverage in 2034 when incorporating the 4.2M expected coverage loss from expiration of enhanced ACA subsidies That's a 57% ↑ in # of uninsured compared to June 2024 current policy projection

It’s fucking bizzaro world we’re living in where the President shares untruths on truth social, the justice department serves injustice, the department of education promotes ignorance, and the health department increases disease by undermining prevention.

It no longer matters that you didn't vote for the orange rapist felon. Everything he's doing is being done in the name of the United States. We must remove him. Failure to resist and remove is not an option. Silence is complicity.
