This is true … but only if we work for it.

Anyone undermining Democrats is actively working for Republicans. Block and shun them.

Adopt a campaign or three and help how you can - donations, volunteer hours, social amplification.

Talk to your friends, family, coworkers.

Do the work.

This is Coe Fen in Cambridge, a watercolour drawing from 1998. The tower in the middle distance is the Pitt Building and the other tower is the United Reform Church. This was done on the spot with watercolour and Indian ink.

UNICEF helped develop and launch a new mobile app in #Jamaica that helps families with children with disabilities quickly and efficiently secure the support their kids need.

The tool is proving especially useful as the island nation recovers from Hurricane Melissa. #IDPD2025

🧵on political information literacy. Don't fall for the banana in the tailpipe.
As we approach midterms, starting now, be careful on these social media streets. Bots and trolls and disinfo accounts can pretend to be on any side, at first. Trust the instincts you've built up on twitter and now here. Even, and especially, when you see a bunch of the same-worded replies on posts.

Definitely tough, but the good news is that Pennsylvania is one of the states which has instituted Premium Alignment policy, which means if you're currently in a Silver plan I would *strongly* recommend looking at either a Bronze *or GOLD* plan, which may cost less:

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

I have escaped from domestic violence. The domestic violence was not just contained to the home, but also involved weaponization of systems. I hope to do a fuller accounting of what happened one day to bring light to this problem. For now, here is my "Thank You" note to Joe Biden & the VAWA.

Why do so many prominent Brexiteers live in France? Nigel Lawson; Andrew Neil; and former Brexit Party & UKIP MEP David Coburn. Asked to account for himself in the Nathan Gill story it turns out he lives in a French chateau. The brazen hypocrisy of this lot is just staggering!
