It's important to note that in France, yes, a fascist majority was prevented, but they still doubled their presence in parliament. The fascists didn't stay home. They went & voted. It's just that enough decent people showed up to beat them back to a significant degree (& make them cry). SHOW UP.

Boeing cases will probably be one of the first tests with the FAA. Yeah, there are a lot of general aviation libertarians out there to make a serious push. No one will hear about it until airplane parts start falling out of the sky.

"I'm calling to express my concern about the close association Justices Thomas and Alito have to the Jan 6 insurrection. As your constituent, I ask you to call for the Senate to investigate whether Thomas and Alito should recuse or even resign. We cannot have insurrectionist judges on the bench."

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

American kids need smart phones in schools so they can tell their parents where the shooters are and the cops can do nothing.

Totally want to go back in time to tell someone from the 1800s that we'd eradicated smallpox, measles, mumps, and polio and had typhus, diphtheria, & scarlet fever mostly under control, but they came back because people thought medicine was bad Just to see their look of absolute despair
