@salterfry Yeah. I was pretty full of despair but I went ahead and replaced that with spite. I can’t give up yet. I’ve got graves to dance on that haven’t been dug yet.
Sherrod Brown was an old school labor rights Democrat and he lost decisively to a car dealership owner who had to settle several wage theft lawsuits before running for office. This election was not about working class discontent.
Aloha, Hawai’i! We are now offering our real-time wildfire coverage throughout all of the islands!
It’s an honor to be of service and join you in your fight against wildfires. Last year, we watched in horror as Lahaina suffered what so many of us have experienced in Santa Rosa, Paradise, Talent, Greenville, and countless other towns in the West. We are all learning to come to grips with a problem that isn’t going away anytime soon, but neither are we.
We created Watch Duty, a non-profit organization, because we live under the ever-present threat of wildfire, and more and more of us are experiencing the need for real-time information. Our service, which will always remain free, follows the newly deployed wildfire cameras from @ALERTWestCams that are integrated directly into Watch Duty. All of this functionality gives you the ability to track and monitor wildfires in real-time, all in one place, on either iOS, Android, or your web browser. Mahalo.

Quincy Jones, one of the most powerful forces in American popular music for more than half a century, died at 91. He produced Michael Jackson’s "Thriller," the best-selling album of all time, and was a prolific arranger and composer of film music. https://t.co/OyXdjslxtm
A century ago, Germany���s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.
As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.
It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.
Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.
When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.
A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect from 3 PM Sunday-7 PM Monday for Pacific Coast beaches (with the exception of the Santa Cruz Coast) for long period northwest swell with breaking waves of 10-14 feet expected. Never turn your back on the ocean! #CAwx

I spent months speaking to former and current Google employees organising for Palestine inside Google.
Some of those I spoke to left the company while others were fired by the company. Here’s their story of organising for Palestine in the last year:
