Headed into my second day in Amsterdam! Spent yesterday walking 12+ miles around the city to get a feel for it. My friends fly in today and then the fun really begins 🕺😎

Later USA! I’m taking a break from the 24 hour news cycle to do some travels across Europe to rest and experience something else for the next 4 weeks. If you have any recommendations for Amsterdam, Paris, London, or Berlin I wanna hear them ☺️

Photos show police clashing with No Kings protesters in Los Angeles. Protesters could be heard yelling “drop your guns,” “shame on you” and “your neighbors will know what you’re doing.” See photo gallery → www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti... 📸: @stephenlamphoto.bsky.social / S.F. Chronicle

I’m very curious to see how the #NoKings protest attendance stacks up with the 2017 Women’s March attendance!

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Today I asked protesters in New York City: "What are you worried America is turning into?" Their answers were poignant, and defiant. Watch the video I took (edited by masterful @peter-berger.bsky.social).

It’s really funny and quite poetic watching how sad and pathetic the vibes are at the weirdo military parade compared to the color, laughter, and love at the #NoKings protests.

Watsonville, CA, showing up for #NoKings! Watsonville is one of California’s central communities of farm workers and immigrants, and has recently experienced ICE agents out in the streets and fields. These young women are dancing while holding pictures of their immigrant loved ones.

I am here in beautiful downtown Oakland California for the gigantic #nokings march through downtown. Grabbing a spot with signal to share pics and conversations with folks I’ve met.

Santa Cruz, CA, where hundreds (if not many, many more) are gathered outside the courthouse for #NoKings day! California coast STRONG 💪

Don’t forget the small towns too! Boulder Creek, CA showing up for #NoKings today. These mountain folk don’t want any dictators or kings!

When I started this story in December, I planned to write about how remarkable it is that scientists discovered wildfires 50,000 years ago with ice cores. But then Trump happened. The US was the "premier polar power" in science. Experts say this is "imperiled" thanks to cuts to science.

I said something mean on Threads about a trillion dollar company named after a fruit and now its cult is coming after me.

What reason would the Secretary of Homeland Security have to suggest that they can remove the leaders Californians ELECTED?!?! They are using our state as a testing ground for their authoritarian fantasies.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

What is the internet really saying when folks praise a billionaire beauty mogul for no longer "gatekeeping" the details of her boob job? Read @inaeoh.bsky.social on Kylie Jenner's plasticized candor—and the shifting currencies of our attention economy.

lunch break vibe right now

pushing through on the home stretch of a new video—so here's a little sneak peek :)

democrats really will do everything except listen to their constituents

The moment I see that Jubilee logo I scroll.

we went with matching pastels and some fun printed pants, and new sneaks I have to break in for my euro trip

New from me: Elon Musk has pledged to leave DOGE, but his influence in governmental affairs -- foreign and domestic -- is far from over. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

not to brag but my office outfit slaps today

Kate Nash releasing a JK Rowling diss track?? Iconic.

need santa cruz to take the hint and shut down west cliff to cars once and for all

Second viewing of Sinners had me sobbing harder than the first. What a film

Are you a trans person covered by ACA/Medicaid and want to share your questions/fears/story? My DMs are open.

now if a hunter biden advisor said this... god help us

whether intentional or not, i think it's moments like this that shift our overton window of what is acceptable to debate.

I live in a jungle

it really feels like every day meta's platforms just get worse and worse and worse.
