Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

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"

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

Oh, don’t worry about the fascist oligarchy. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wrote a strongly-worded letter, and @corybooker.com made a PowerPoint. We’re saved! Seriously, y’all, I cannot wait until @aoc.bsky.social and @jasmineforus.bsky.social are in charge.

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to stop solely pointing out the obvious problems and start publicly talking about how to address them. We know our democracy is unstable and unhealthy. What are you gonna do about it? Cease the platitudes and broad statements. Get specific and talk about actions.

Beware, Trump: “the American spirit is indefatigable: it loves freedom and equality, abhors tyranny, values minding your own business and hates, above all, to be told what to do. When Trump was last in office, Americans found, at the end, that they did not like it.” I hope this is true!

Wishing a big FU to Trump and his cronies, collaborators, supporters, and voters, on this, the most abjectly terrifying day of my 16 years of parenting. If you wanted to make my queer family scared, you succeeded. Good job. But if you wanted to make us meek, you will have failed miserably.

Mama, I know it’s tempting to pack up and move to another country but shying away from the hard stuff isn’t your style. Running or hiding are not options. Supporting and standing up for one another are. #cats #BlueskyCats #photography

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

It’s not necessary to feminize Trump to show that he’s submissive to Musk, just as we don’t need to depict Trump and Putin kissing. Misogyny and homophobia only serve to reinforce negative stereotypes.

74 years ago today, one of the greatest animated shorts ever was released. The Rabbit of Seville. If you are of a certain age, chances are Bugs Bunny introduced you to classical music.
