loved this by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social! as someone in DC the vibes have been really off but there have also been lots of expressions of kindness & solidarity www.meditationsinanemergency.com/this-is-real...

"These sorts of protests are now following each new Trump decree, every agency Musk has ravaged. The sites are expanding: from DC sidewalks to Congressional offices, from Stonewall to Tesla dealerships" newrepublic.com/article/1916...

Feb 20 - How to Build an ICE Watch Program actionnetwork.org/events/how-t...

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

A friend in the neighborhood just sent me a picture from in front of Schumer’s building. (I’d join them if I didn’t have a soup to attend to right now!!)

republicans had the evangelical church while democrats let their institutions of civil society fall apart in this essay I will argue

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students. This is how you refuse to comply.

thinking about all the times I was told I was lying when I said trump was going to try to implement project 2025

going to the gym and throwing a med ball at the wall and pretending it’s musk’s/cheeto’s face is therapeutic if anyone needs to let some anger out

called and left a voicemail! I modified the script a bit to make my party affiliation ambiguous bc I’m not really comfortable posing as a republican

I’m coming to terms with the part of me that died on November 6 really is dead maybe this is growing up

In the very first State of the Union address, given #OTD in 1790, POTUS George Washington told Congress it must encourage "science and literature" (meaning both the sciences and the humanities), given that "knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness." Yes.

hate watching section 31 is going to be such a time #treksky

I’ve had the feeling all day that we’re going to look back and wonder why we peacefully accepted this, but I sincerely hope that I’m wrong

BREAKING: Judge Juan Merchan just denied Trump’s request to postpone his Friday sentencing for his hush money conviction.

well that turned out to be a bit of an understatement

I hate how in the present day paying attention to politics makes you “out of touch”

1) shoutout to Ann for doing the right thing 2) I am deeply deeply concerned that American democracy’s days are numbered anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

jimmy carter’s message that was included on the voyager spacecraft. rest in peace, jimmy carter 🌌

never change, apple intelligence

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

im such a beginner but enjoy this peacock feather #artsky

According to a new report, doctors in abortion ban states described hospital lawyers who: •“Refused to meet” with them for months. •Were hard to reach during “life or death” situations. •Offered little help beyond “regurgitating” the law.

rewatching voyager and wow did kathryn janeway teach me a lot about ethical leadership

everything that’s good and right about America is people from middle class backgrounds having the opportunity to go oppress the communities they came from and deny them their basic right to life!

heartbreaking read but the comments are even more heartbreaking - folks, do not let your compassion be subsumed by anger and resentment

My comment on gender affirming care for minors: 🧵 / familyinequality.wordpress.com/2024/12/07/a...

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

i’m sorry but “i’m going MAGA bc biden pardoned hunter” might be the stupidest pardon take of them all, and there have been a lot of them. i’d say they should study his brain but im not sure nate has one

read this book, and cry, and then roll up your sleeves and remember that no one man can take your power to change the world

something that has been bothering me about why-we-lost discourse is the suggestion that we need to run an old white guy in order to appeal to ordinary people, and the underlying assumption that ordinary person = white blue collar worker

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.
