As I sit eating lunch at Queen’s Marque, watching people swim in front of the stairs and boys diving off the boardwalk, I have to wonder if maybe HRM has a responsibility to at least put up a sign that swimming is not recommended? So much ew. 🤢 #halisky

Hi everyone! One *extremely meaningful* thing you can do to fight back is to join library boards. Usually this is an appointed position, not elected. The time commitment for most public library board members is 1-2 hours monthly. I'm a former library director. Ask me anything.

If you're going to call a Senator who is not your Senator, call the Senate Majority Leader's office. Schumer's phone number is (202) 224-6542

#1. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, needs to get out in the streets and demand that Biden expands the court. #2. Everyone needs to bring the protest to the doorstep of the gang of 6 and show them just how mad we are. #3. Figure out how you can make the most impact to GOTV.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton gave a speech in Wisconsin about the importance of the Supreme Court.
She warned that 2016 was "make or break" for the court—and the country.
National media—focused on her emails and Trump's antics—barely covered the speech.

This. Your vote for whoever is the Democrat on the ballot is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL, but also, it WILL NOT BE ENOUGH. So time to get real and put pressure on the powerful to actually stand up for democracy and take this shit seriously. Now, before it really is too late.

This episode aired 30 years ago. I guess the main difference between now and then is that the people who want this don't keep it secret anymore.

The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever. Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.

there's nothing wrong with having feelings of despair and futility, but i think it's most responsible to avoid airing all that out in public to the greatest extent possible right now. we need to cultivate a vengeance-driven, enraged espirit de corps right now, because we need people to fight

Everyone needs to be out in the fucking streets right now, and until the president/congress does something to undo this. I don’t know what that something should be, but this can’t continue.

I've seen enough -- this is the most radical, dangerous, arrogant, out-of-control Supreme Court in American history, and it needs to be treated as such.

If I understand correctly, today the US Supreme Court has granted governments sweeping powers to immediately stop someone from sleeping outside but taken away governments' powers to immediately stop someone from dumping a bunch of toxic waste outside.

Feeling reallllllly good this morning about our decision to move back to Canada. I keep having to take deep breaths and repeat “we’re not there, we’re not there” over and over. Not that things aren’t looking bleak as hell here too, but not, like, forever bleak.

I’m destroying the environment with thousands of cans of the cheap ass grocery store no-brand versions (and also my wallet, cause they’re expensive as hell now here in Canada)…but I JUST. CAN’T. STOP. Maybe it is time for a soda stream.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

My 13 year old daughter will point out the number like “hee hee”, but when I ask her to explain to me what it means (lol, I’m the worst mom), she refuses. I haven’t the faintest clue if she knows, but I’m trying to teach her the proper response is “niiice”
