Our daughter was born just a few hours after the Alaska Airlines exit door incident, so you bet she's always flying in her own seat! But I acknowledge we are also privileged to be able to afford the extra full-price ticket. apnews.com/article/toro...

I love it! We need to tell the stories of these many dedicated public servants whose lives are being destroyed by Elon Musk and his goons.

In the face of adversity, we all have the agency to make our own choices and not to compromise our values. Ms. Sassoon deserves praise for her courage and refusing to engage in blatant corruption. May we all show the same courage when it is called upon us.

This is heartbreaking. Once again, dedicated and loyal workers bear the burden of Musk's incompetence and arrogance, all while he gets rewarded with expensive government contracts. Cut costs for thee but not for me!

Overwhelming support for funding more affordable housing πŸŽ‰ despite City Council trying very hard to confuse the s**t out of voters with their prop 1B. Mayor Harrell and City Council – the message from the people is loud and clear, and the upcoming Comp Plan should reflect it.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

Out of all our elected officials, AG @nickbrownnow.bsky.social is among those few who seem to be truly meeting the moment. πŸ‘

we need to make cynicism uncool. like having doubts in your heart and being overwhelmed is one thing, but a lot of us got trained by twitter to post our most cynical snark for engagement and that broke something in a lot of us. (me included!) giving up is not actually that sophisticated!

Ok here is the thing with action/praxis/protest/showing up: Sometimes you contribute by being a megaphone. Sometimes by being a wallet. Sometimes by being a physical body. Sometimes by being fuel or being relief. If you can’t be one thing at any given moment you can almost certainly be another.

A lot of folks underestimate how much good will we received from other countries over the past century for being a reliable ally and partner. Even if we manage to rebuild trust, our foreign relationships are bound to become primarily transactional for the foreseeable future, mainly to our detriment.

Lol this is North Korea level of propaganda.

I don't think we'll be able to pinpoint one firing or one board dissolution to explain what happened tonight, but berating millions of public servants, many of them tasked to keep us safe, takes an enormous mental toll on them and creates the conditions for such catastrophes to happen.

Hey folks, before worm brains even enters the chamber, I am going to encourage EVERY SINGLE PERSON to get themselves and their kids, if you have them, VACCINATED. CVS has all of these vaccines available. If you're missing anything, GO THIS WEEK AND GET VACCINATED. πŸ’‰
