FLORIDA listen up! 🩵

The two counties he is targeting to trash votes from are so democratic they were featured on the national news the night of the presidential election. Also historically they always vote overwhelmingly democratic.

Are we great again yet? I hope EU opens paths for researchers to move, but this will still be decades of setbacks. And treatments won’t be available in the US until much later once made, if at all, looking at who will be in charge and how few people will be left in the agencies.

This Doctor Who rewatch might end my mental health. I’d forgotten a lot of the Saxon election / Master plot. The archangel network, insane leader with blind followers. Sci fi doing what it does best.

Everyone does know we currently have US territories populated with US citizens (who pay taxes) that should be up for statehood next? Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands Also, Washington D.C. is not a state yet.

Great first step. Take the next one and call and just read this to your reps over the phone. 99% of the time I’ve gotten a voicemail

🔥 Top Campaigns, Last 24 Hours: 1️⃣ “Pass Ethan’s Law to stop the child gun violence epidemic!” (+2,976) 2️⃣ “STOP TRUMP NOW. His daily high crimes & treason deserve impeachment.” (+2,488) 3️⃣ “Vote No on Appropriations While Trump-Musk Thefts Continue” (+1,495)

Sorry I’ve been taking a break making art. The news lately has been too much. Back to the fight shortly. Until then art while watching The Doctor and Martha Jones.

Harriet Tubman dedicated her life to abolitionism, leading 70 enslaved women & families to freedom. She was also the first woman in the U.S. to plan & lead a military raid. On Harriet Tubman Day, we honor her by continuing the fight for freedom & equal rights for all.

Mario has been in my life a long time. The very first video game I EVER played was Super Mario Bros on NES. I cherish those memories. Sonic, Link, Solid Snake, Master Chief, etc. So many characters I've come to love over the years. But Mario holds a special place for me forever. Happy Mario Day!

It’s weird to pick apart the past now. How about we look at the dems who were elected that keep sitting on their hands? They need a fire lit under them. Walz did ok - still a great governor. What is next? Taylor Swift didn’t do enough? Everyone expected more from her too. I love TS - don’t /1

2. Keep it up to make the full 40 days.

Here is your homework: 1. Call your reps and ask them to support the United for Ukraine program. Legal immigration could be upended and by one estimate I saw 300k could have to return to Ukraine from the US. welcome.us/explainers/l...

FUN FACT.

That is exactly true.

I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

I’m checking out the Severance podcasts to escape time. Let me know your favorites.

Tariffs might be Trump’s favorite word. To legendary investor Warren Buffett, there’s less to be excited about. “Tariffs are actually — we’ve had a lot of experience with them — they’re an act of war, to some degree,” Buffett said. They serve as a tax on goods and could raise prices for consumers.

A brilliant Banksy.

Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000) invented a frequency-hopping communication system that helped make Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth possible. She is known as the "mother of Wi-Fi.” She invented this while acting full time. #WomensHistoryMonth

Long before modern computers, Ada Lovelace foresaw a future where machines could compose music and create art. Born in London in 1815, she was the child of poet Lord Byron and Lady Anne Isabella Milbanke. Despite her father’s fame, her mother emphasized a rigorous education in mathematics. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)
