Why are we tanking the market for a completely pointless trade war with our allies again? If you’re arguing that trade deficits are always bad (they’re not, but let’s pretend), Canada is only 7% of our deficit. Why aren’t we focused on a larger problem?

Congrats, Canada!! We Americans desperately needed a huge slice of humble pie. Suck it, Trump! Canada will NEVER be your coveted 51st state. 🇨🇦

This is fiscal irresponsibility 101 and evidences a total lack of concern for children by Bill Lee. We’re leaving $75m in fed funds on the table that helps nearly 700k TN kids and spending $3m in state funds to serve far less kids in only 15 counties. #TeamJRC www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

I’ve introduced a resolution to the 8th Amendment, clarifying that if someone is as fucking stupid as Andy Ogles, launching them into the sun is not considered cruel or unusual punishment

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

We've been here before. We'll make it through if we don't cede an inch to the evil and depravity about to be unleashed. Look out for yourself, those you love, and everyone they'll be coming after.

I’m worried that the exodus from Meta and Twitter is what they want. To isolate us from each other. Isolation is a big part of autocracy. It makes people easier to lie to and abuse. I don’t have a global answer, but I am working on building a social media space for our podcast listeners.

Spoke w/ @NWSNashville. A few points: 1. Overnight temps falling to low-mid 20°s. 2. Ongoing drizzle will end over next few hrs. 3. Winds decreasing. Lingering moisture will convert to ice, as we've already seen (esp Will Co.), and create slick spots. AM could be dicey.
