In the month since I was elected leader of the Green Party, we have gained a new member equivalent of every single minute. 24/7.

We're all smiling. But we've also got a big job to do.

Let's make hope normal again.

Trump has the White House, the Senate, the House and SCOTUS. He won it all. The entire mess is caused by him.

What if Trump expands SCOTUS, adding young republicans who could be there for forty years? That is worrying me a lot. @gtconway.bsky.social @jenrubin.bsky.social @asharangappa.bsky.social @lawfaremedia.org @radiofreetom.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @meidastouch.com @adammockler.com

Local optometrists, audiologists and dentists (for people) have all been purchased by corporations. There are very few local specialists. My dentist is now part of the GumDocs franchise. My eye doctor is now part of the EyeDocs franchise. My audiologist is with, Costco. Not surprised about vets.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

This must rank as one of the more hilarious headlines I have seen in a long time.
Nothing like the political media in Ottawa for continually missing the moment as we watch democracy and the rule of law disintegrate on our unguarded border.

Teens who won a lawsuit requiring Hawaiʻi to eliminate carbon emissions from the state’s transportation system in the next 20 years rightly call out sustainable aviation fuel as bullshit.

Interisland flights are Hawaiʻi’s biggest transportation carbon producer, making up more than half of all emissions related to civilian travel in the state.
