Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

What does it mean when there are lots of different types of stones in a stone wall? It could be an indicator that the soils you’re standing on are built on material left by glaciers!

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Recognition of #IndigenousPeoplesDay is about the truthtelling of history and the realities of colonization. Don’t allow them to sweep these realities under the rug to create a new narrative.

This is happening right now, to a friend of mine in Chicago. This is a peaceful area, with no previous unrest or crime problem. Just people trying to live their lives. My heart hurts. They're having conversations no family should have to have.

A white box with text. "Y'all. They're tear gassing my neighborhood. Right by the place we get hummus from. Right by where we get the extra large pizzas for sleep overs. Tell your people."

Was at a memorial service tonight. 2 hours of being absorbed in the moment & away from the news… & then the shock when it crashes back in.

The amount of our joy, health, & peace being stolen by these fascist fucks is just too much.

It’s too much and has to stop.

Please protest on 10/18
