Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today! It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Misogyny has always been with us. Now it occupies the White House and our Congress. Thanks to PBS for reporting on this dangerous trend. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

What the hell are we even doing? Normalizing & green-lighting another psychotic madman. That’s what we’re doing. It’s f’ing insane.

The fact that The New York Times is the 5th most followed BlueSky account shows me a lot of you aren’t putting your money where your mouth is!

Thursday morning laugh!

I agree, three hundred and sixty billion percent.

Looks like it’s time to start dusting off this ol’ guy again.

😁

So TIME Magazine is putting convicted felons and adjudicated rapists on their cover now? How disgraceful.

Give a man a fish. He feeds for a day. Teach a man to fish. He feeds for a lifetime. Teach a billionaire to fish. He buys all the lakes and rivers and then charges you to fish them.

Happy 100th Birthday to my Soror, the legendary late Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm! A trailblazer who shattered barriers and made history with unapologetic strength and fierce love for the people. Your legacy still inspires me to fight for justice, equality, and a better tomorrow.

If you don’t think this is exactly what we’re up against, then you haven’t been paying attention.

When rumors of banning LGBTQ+ books hit the library board in a small Louisiana town, @librarianjones.com took action, facing death threats. For her, silence was never an option. “Hell hath no fury like a librarian scorned,” she writes. Join us at 11aET for the latest #VelshiBannedBookClub. #Velshi

It’s a good day to recognize most corporations and universities that adopted DEI statements and peddled entertainments and products espousing tolerance and inclusivity only did so because they wanted to protect themselves while profiting off segmented marketing and are already dropping all of it.

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you. All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. Why am I telling you this? In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?" The mo' you know

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear. Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code. It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions. Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

History shows us that this is true…

No matter what your plans are for tomorrow—Whether you’re working, at home enjoying time to yourself, or spending the day with friends or family, I truly hope you have a wonderful and safe Thursday. We are working on Thanksgiving, because we can’t ever give that cult an inch. Onward.

The Republican House majority may very well end up being the smallest in 100+ years. Just 1 GOP defection and the Dems could kill a bill. Those motherfuckers think they handed that rapist felon traitor a “mandate.” Not even fucking close.

BREAKING: Trump threatens tariffs on Scotland unless they immediately outlaw their national pastime of hurling insults at him. In particular: "Mangled apricot hellbeast" "Clueless numpty" "Weapons-grade plum" "Toupeed fucktrumpet" "Witless cocksplat"

Donald Trump wants you to believe that he is all powerful and that if you fight back you will lose. He wants you to believe that if you fight back you face danger. It is time for us to build not a temporary resistance but a long term opposition.

I already know in advance that a handful of people will complain about me posting a screenshot from The Emperor, but that is outweighed by the fact that I think people need to know about authoritarian threats. Sorry in advance to those who don’t want to know what’s happening.

Anthony James Altick has been identified as the driver of the U-Haul, which was carrying the 11 neo-Nazis who marched in Columbus, Ohio.

The fact that China doesn't like people switching to Bluesky seems like another sign that it's a great thing

Now this sparks joy, right? May they always be greeted like they were in Columbus! 💙🇺🇸✊

My husband @robertcooper-us.bsky.social and I were the FIRST gay couple to adopt children in this country. We adopted our first baby back in 1985, and eventually adopted five in all. Here’s a pic of our two oldest kids meeting their younger brother for the first time. We later adopted twin girls! ❤️

BREAKING: The Israeli security cabinet has voted in favor of a US-brokered ceasefire deal to end the fighting with Hezbollah in Lebanon. President Biden to address the nation at 2:30PM from the Rose Garden. THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!

Some news: amid rapid growth and some over-enforcement of its community guidelines, Bluesky trust and safety chief @aaron.bsky.team tells me the company will quadruple the size of its content moderation team www.platformer.news/bluesky-grow...

BREAKING: Many states are considering new tariffs on Florida to prevent the undesirable flow of Floridians into other parts of the country.
