HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.

At first glance, this seems equivalent to Nixon having conversations with the portraits of former presidents at the White House.

Except, this also fits well with how much attention he's been giving to his legacy: ballroom, arch, Kennedy center, battleship class, and now, Rosebud.

on representation In the Land of Peaks and Troughs (see my last post), here's how I (we) climbed to Peak 1. The starting point: how is child sexual abuse represented in the arts, if indeed it is represented at all? Looking for ourselves in books, films, plays, visual arts, and music is a human thing. We look outward as ways of looking inward.

📌A staggering 96% of the contributions spent on Virginia’s referendum vote Tuesday came from dark money.

Proof again that Citizens United has done more to wreck our democracy than anything before or since.

IT MUST GO.

CEOs aren't accustomed to much public scrutiny, partly cuz businesses aren't democracies, info is controlled tightly. So when they venture outside that bubble, they expect the same. They don't often make good politicians. Remember that when ppl say govt should be run more like a business.

"Elon Musk cooked his brain online. Marc Andreessen and others seemingly struggled with being in virtual spaces where their ideas and status were challenged, and rewired their political beliefs as a form of cope."

The hit of déjà vu
Sprinkled with nostalgia

I think of the first time
At six years old
On the babysitter's swingset
Taken aback with confusion
Like living in a movie
That's been rewound
To the details
This has happened before

Now, it's a mission of curiosity 
Wanting to step outside the skin
And turn around to see it lived
Wanting to go deeper
To see the workings of the machine
Wondering if I missed something 
The first time around
Frenzied like time's running out
A waking dream
With a message to decrypt 

J. C. 04.20.26

Palantir posts mini-manifesto denouncing inclusivity and ‘regressive’ cultures | TechCrunch Palantir's ideological bent has come under more scrutiny as it's worked with ICE and positioned itself as a defender of "the West."

Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote.

Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California.

Not Your Average Liberal
@NotAvgLiberal
Just read it.

Spot On - 

An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’:

“Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

I was in 3rd grade, I think, when an older boy (not my abuser), maybe in 7th or 8th grade, stroked his fingers under my chin and made some comment about my lips. Most of my memories of childhood are wiped, but this shit, like every bad memory sticks.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?
