From Rep. Katie Porter:

"Katie’s campaign has always been grassroots powered. We’ve been able to compete with millions in Republican spending and win without taking a dime of corporate PAC money. Our average contribution this month is just $16.27.

And as one of less than a dozen Members of Congress who doesn’t take lobbyist money, Katie relies on–and is so grateful for–the support of working people from across the country.'

10 truths I know:

1. It's the grid, stupid.
2. Immigration lifts all boats.
3. Prohibitions don't work, regulation does.
4. The US federal government cannot run out of money, just as a baseball team cannot run out of points.
5. Continuous economic growth is a cancer.
6. 16 inches of topsoil is all that stands between you and extinction.
7. There ain't NO away, to throw stuff.
8. Cars bad, trains good, bikes better, walking best.
9. Plastic is a crime.
10. Love is not a noun, it's a verb.

From France’s Minister for Digital to Twitter: Any attempt to remove my tweets that link to my other social media accounts, not violating any law, would actually make #twitter an editorial media, and no longer a social media platform, with civil and criminal liability for *any* illegal content therein.

Fusion experiments don't let us of the hook for taking dramatic action now on climate.
From the article:
"Here, scientists are clear. Fusion power will not arrive in time to save the world."

“Humanity is taking its final examination. We have come to an extraordinary moment when it doesn't have to be you or me. There is enough for all. We need not operate competitively any longer. If we succeed, it will be because of youth, truth, & love."

Chris Murphy writes:

“Here is the clearest sign on how little Republicans care about the border - other than using it as a political issue to divide America:

The House GOP can’t find anyone to chair the committee that writes the budget for the border (I’m the Senate Chair fyi).”

This might be a long read, and I'm going to talk about something a lot of us women don't talk about, because we often feel shame, fear.. embarrassed.
I want to end that stigma, I want to face this shit head on.

This is one more step for me to take my life back, my life that almost ended on a dark Stockholm street, 1 year and 11 months ago.

This is rather specific, but I have a Samsung Galaxy A32. It has a stupid piece of malware called "Game Booster" that cannot be disabled. Anyone know how to forcibly remove it? There is no "force stop" option for it, I want the nagging crap to be stomped out. Permanently. Any ideas?

But plz: do NOT tell me about using a diff phone, or the bad choices already made: help answer the question or scroll on, k?

Is it me, or do these dogs look like they are about to drop the hottest album of the year? The white husky looking one is mine! #dogsofcoso

Put this in your nose/crack pipe, GQP --

"Jim Pasco (NFOP dir) supported Garland’s directive. Though the group has opposed eliminating the sentencing disparity in the past Pasco said the union’s views have evolved 'as there’s been more clarity around the science.' Pasco said Biden admin. has supported police with additional resources to fight a rise in violent crime, and the union does not believe the policy changes on cocaine sentencing will adversely affect the efforts of law enforcement."
