Absolutely heartbroken by this news. Grew up watching her in things over the years, and only five years older than me.

Fascists want people divided, uninformed, angry and afraid. Don’t let them win. Get a library card. Grab some encyclopedias. Follow independent journalists. Take online courses. Elevate voices different than your own. Make a commitment to being as informed, inclusive, kind and loving as possible.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

I have sent a letter to my state representatives asking them to pass a law disallowing companies from operating in the state where C-Suite executives are waging war on the Constitution, punishable by civil forfeiture of company property.

Did Mexico just get a tariff pause by committing to put troops on the border they share with a country that's been implying it might take unilateral military action against Mexico?

This is what I'm talking about! Where's everyone shrieking about getting people doing things like this, rather than parroting anti-DEM propaganda spoon-fed to them by hostile foreign & domestic chaos agents all the livelong day?

Write new worlds. Write beautiful places. Write angry people. Write imaginary beasts, futile quests, broken hearts, lifelong injustices, mysteries, love affairs, lost children, newfound purpose. Write anything that allows you to escape or heal or vent or rage or explore or reconcile. Write 🖤

NEW: @wired.com built a tool to monitor 1,300+ federal .gov websites, revealing that entire sites are going dark as we speak. @telliotter.bsky.social, @dmehro.bsky.social (who built the tool), and @dell.bsky.social report: www.wired.com/story/us-gov...

Your period reminder that we all deserve better than this.

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.

Here's my latest on what's happening inside NCI and NIH. I've seen emails and directives about a lot of this now. There's so much bad stuff.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

I am scared for my friends, my family, my cats, my livelihood, and my ability to eat safe food. If I focus on the fear, I'll come apart. So I do what I can, send my letters, make my calls, support as strength allows, and hope that can be enough. I was built to whistle past graveyards, not dig them.

Brief status update on the Headdesk Project (not its real name) by me and @sarahwithtea.bsky.social This is a panic project we fell into the day after the election. Basically us going "I don't know what to do, but we have to do SOMETHING...."

Well, my first post here might as well be this little keychain I made for myself as a wee pocket-sized piece of comfort ❤️

Three mini floofers!

I’m tired.
