We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

I don’t know how this all ends. But the everyday courage of the free citizen in the free city is a place where the end can begin.

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.

I head someone explain this as “Good weird is being weird about your own business, bad weird is being weird about other people’s business” and I thought that summed it up pretty well.
Stop being the bad kind of weird. This place is for the good kind of weird only. 🦋

I'd really love Bluesky to add a "original posts" tab to each user's profile—like the "media" tab, but covering every original post whether or not it includes media. Would go a long way to making a user's output clear, sans reposts and replies. @support.bsky.team

Re-upping this not only because it's powerful, but because it is a great example of reporting. It centers the voice of the family and advocates. In focusing on the changes being implemented, notice how there is no voice given to "opposition"; there's no both-sidesing the issue of safe streets.
“As we're making this ride, I want you to think about your children, the elderly people in your family and your lives that may not have a car ... I want you to look at how the road is, and I want you to think, ‘Is this street designed for everyone or was it designed for cars?’"
Liam Stewart was killed on his bicycle last year. His dad is still fighting to make Littleton’s streets safer
A year ago, Josh Stewart didn't think much about street safety. But following the death of his son, a seventh grader, he's pushed for local leaders to make the streets safer.

Saeed giving a brilliant analogy of the horrors in the Middle East. Good writers are so essential to our understanding of the world
Biden has said that foreign policy is basically just an extension of one to one human relationships. Interesting point, sir.
Let’s follow through on that idea for a moment.

After all the US, and the rest of the world have done to undermine, exploit, torment, and dehumanize Haitians, it is unfathomable to me that these innocent people, who deserve so much better, are the target of lies, attacks, and hatred. They deserve our apologies, not our hate.
