again just a simple truth
Ossoff on why he invoked Natalie Harp during his speech: "We're in wartime. The commander in chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives ... and he retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself"

SF is about to remove peer support staff from crisis teams. There are strategic challenges to ensuring they’re on a call, but let's solve those problems rather than getting rid of the role. It makes a BIG difference to vulnerable folks to encounter a peer rather than a uniform.

This administration is tearing up desert habitat in Big Bend National Park for a wasteful border project. Let's help volunteers get out ahead of the destruction to save valuable desert plants.

Clean water. Safe food. Clear air. It’s all possible, if we elect leaders who will actually fight for a better future.

Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary.

She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

"Trump is desperate to distract people from his failures in Iran and on the economy. Attacking former public servants that he imagines to be his political enemies is un-American. It is abuse of power and a threat to the principle that the law should be applied neutrally and equally to all..."

Trump’s DOJ is making it possible to buy a gun online and have it delivered directly to your doorstep. A company called GrabAGun stands to reap big profits. You’ll never guess who owns it.

This was good. Hit smart angles, included a wonderful line about Hegseth’s soft, child-like brain:

“If someone wanted to take his magical super-soldier serum that makes people into muscle-bound roid-raging he-men straight out Warhammer 40k Space Marines…”
New in PN: Gender-affirming care for insecure men

"Here’s a little secret: the testosterone Hegseth wants to give to cisgender troops is same stuff they give to trans men. So which is it: taking hormones renders you non-deployable and therefore unfit, or they make you the perfect killing machine?"

Trump has tried to pit Americans against one another to distract from the real fight: the fact that he and his billionaire buddies are rigging the system against workers.
 
We must call it out at every turn.
