Follow the policy positions of the State Policy Network in your state and ID their affiliated orgs at the local level. These orgs also place ppl in appointed state positions, like on oversight committees and such, non-elected positions.
Hello void, there is no such thing as a "nuclear exchange" or "using a nuke" in this war. Any use of nuclear weapons means annihilation for all of us. Millions dead in an afternoon all over the globe. Nuclear winter. Please don't predict some kind of strategy with nukes b/c it's just the end.
Please someone take away the codes

Hello void, I think we are conscientious objectors not protestors
Hello void, if you use AI to help fill out grant applications and write letters of interest, your application sounds exactly like everyone else's. I mean ~exactly~. It's surreal to wade through applications that all sound the same. Applications used to be really distinct and useful: now AI slop
Hello void, please stop predicting escalation, saying that's Trump's only way out, putting nuclear weapon use on the table.
n---w--- should be unsayable. You should be saying, Trump better find a fucking offramp and take it because destroying life the world is not an option
Deep cut
Seriously why???
I hope SNL does an episode about Short Stack and Nazi Barbie going out for tacos in El Centro
Midwest, why does my lawn get all bumpy when it is frozen?
Ok, I know politics are gonna politics, and they will attack Biss as the most qualified state rep candidate for Schakowsky's seat.
But my first thought? Wow, super glad we signed that agreement, love how it's keeping us out of the spotlight--oh wait

Through this really cold winter I am missing our public infrastructure, come on Congress www.usatoday.com/story/cars/n...
I hope SNL does a skit about Short Stack trying to live life in El Centro CA
So critical that they are there. They are the witnesses and we need them in the community's side for as long as we can keep them there
This is why local police need to be onsite and observe with their body cams. They need to collect evidence of these crimes that can't be yanked out of the hands of private citizens.
Certain forms of mainstream news are sedative. Here's one. Yesterday in Minneapolis was a big day for this country's history and the current crisis and a heroic demonstration of will, solidarity, and bravery. NYT leads with shopping.
I think Trump is trying to write his insanity defense and we are all players in his bizarre narcissistic ploy
Oooooh
Trump accepting Machado's Nobel Peace Prize is a great insult to the FIFA Peace Prize committee
I feel seen
Yesterday our interim Univ. President addressed our staff and didnt use "gender affirming care" but could find and use the term "synbio" for synthetic biology and I can't stop thinking about it
It's beyond sad that I learned more from this NY Times article than I ever did from any of my doctors or gynecologists, who only treated symptoms and did not educate or repair

administrative and institutional democracy is a complex process. the dream of the unitary executive theorists/presidentialism-pilled media, punditry, and political class is that politics is just One Event rather than an ongoing and roiling series of actions, measures, and countermeasures
Way to go, Northwestern. When our President abruptly resigned, we knew this might be coming, but still so disappointed in the cruelty and stupidity of this agreement.

Today was Day Two of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. Members of our Safe to Work community patrols hit the streets early this morning and observed federal agents preparing to spend their day questioning grocery shoppers.
I hope journalists are looking at the 'rock and hard place' local law enforcement is navigating in sanctuary cities and states because it is wild. If anyone has read anything interesting on this pls post
Ellis says agents must have identifiers "conspicuously displayed in two separate places."
