"There's not much power without having a voice." Americans in a Freedom Forum video reminded us that the First Amendment lets us express ourselves, stand up for what's right, and protest when government strays. Democracy works when we speak up. Protect your rights and vote!

Yet another entrenched authoritarian defeated yesterday in Serbia. As the United States approaches a critical midterm election, Serbia shows that we can win despite uphill authoritarian conditions. It can be done. It takes all of us, especially young people. Timothy Snyder

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a primary architect & driving force behind the organized movement that ultimately won American women the right to vote in 1920. She died on #OTD in 1902 & never got to vote in her lifetime. Because of her (and others), we can. #VOTE #WomensRights #WomensSuffrage

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 69. If you are lucky enough to have #solitarybees in your garden - LOOK AFTER THEM! They build small solitary nests in cavities in the ground/timber/walls, fly for only a few weeks, don’t swarm and are superb #pollinators. #bees #nature #gardens

READ THAT AGAIN: 700th consecutive day protesting govt. Plainly, THIS is exactly what white Americans claiming to oppose Project 2025’s fascism refuse to do. Instead, you folks schedule quarterly (if that) weekend gatherings for costumes and Instagrammable signs. You’re unwilling to risk a thing.

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.
