Gas prices up 40 cents/gallon since the War on Iran started
Politics has reached a boiling point, but Ranked Choice Voting can lower the temperature.
Ranked Choice Voting is a simple upgrade to the way we vote that allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. If your first choice can't win, then your vote counts for your second choice.
Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Casting a Ranked Choice Voting ballot feels like winning the gold 🥇
More voice. More choice. Majority winners.
Vote your hopes, not your fears.

Prior to 2015, if any candidate for elected office had begun a public statement or tweet with this sentence, he or she would have been laughed out of public life.
Now, Americans re-elect them as commander-in-chief. I will never allow myself to become numb to his insanity.

This Black History Month, we honor his impact and keep building a better Michigan.
Anger over the H-1B visa program has helped ignite racist rhetoric targeting the Indian community across the U.S., and in Frisco, Texas — where someone identifying himself as a college student told a recent City Council meeting, "We must maintain our Rhodesia." nyti.ms/4tMxgwX

A new message board for artificial intelligence agents has prompted some strange conversations, and existential questions about the inner lives of bots.
Beautiful meditation on this moment from @emorwee.bsky.social. "How am I supposed to keep writing about, and caring about, climate change and pollution and government capture by Big Oil, when the government is executing people in broad daylight?"

it ain't so vague any more, is it?
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Understand that if what these agents did was disarm someone with a license to carry because he was recording them, and then shoot him because one of the agents who stole his gun accidentally let it go off, that is *still* an execution for exercising your Second Amendment rights.
The *best-case* scenario is that agents of the state executed a man for exercising his Second Amendment rights.
Yet you won't hear a fucking word from Second Amendment advocates—though this is exactly what they claimed to fear for the last half-century.
Fuck all these fascists.
