Zooey Zephyr deserves every bit as much attention as The Tennessee Three. Raise your voices! This is fascism.

Anchorage’s mayor picked her to help run public libraries.

I've been disgusted by the lack of professional solidarity among journalists ever since Musk bought Twitter. As Musk bans journalists one-by-one, their colleagues stay on Twitter, tweeting out their work, hoping that they'll survive the next round.

Meet Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh

Beginning in February, she has filibustered every single bill that has come before the legislature. Nothing has passed

Why?

She’s filibustering LB574, a Republican made bill that would ban gender-affirming care for anyone under 19

She talks up to 12 hours a day to keep hate from becoming law

Hero.
