Pic isn't quite Dave, actually. My best friend is a rescue pit named Patrick, and we share the house with two cats who keep me going through it all—from burnout to heartbreak to the horror that we're watching democracy erode in real time. 🐂🌃💜

There's a right-wing group claiming to be fighting anti-semitism, while terrorizing and destroying the lives of Ph.D. students who publicly dare agree with the UN about ongoing humanitarian nightmares.

It's chilling, but Kinzinger is not a conspiracy theorist. He knows Congress. He thinks there's a decent chance they'll do nothing. His video plays like something you'd see in the prologue to a post-apocalyptic film.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

If human cloning exists, let's start with Pete Buttigieg. The Democrats and, frankly the entire opposition to the 🟠 brand, have no better spokesperson youtu.be/4rHKwHQUa78?...

I'm complicit if I'm not calling my Democratic representative every day and telling her that she should resign if she's not pounding on the door of every one of her GOP colleagues every day demanding that 🟠 be immediately impeached. Nothing else matters more than stopping this cruel insanity

Anyone ever had a bonded pair of cats, together for over a decade, and you one has been aloof and withdrawn the entire time because the other one is an a******? More sure than ever that's the dynamic between vocal bully Buster and quiet alopeciac Lucille, and it gets worse as they age #catsky

Every half hour in Eastern Congo, a child is reported raped, according to @unicef. Yet Eastern Congo has been largely abandoned by the world, amplified by the USAID shutdown. www.unicefusa.org/press/child-...

I get the stock market is bad but the equivalent has already happened to foreign aid, research funding, and public health. Everyone didn't freak out because there isn't some ticker on the news measuring the number of cancer researchers and Ebola prevention experts being fired.

It was worth it to stay up until 2:30 doom-scrolling to get a comment liked by @mrjoncryer.bsky.social but if I can get any sleep wedged in between a 17lb cat and 60lb dog like I'm that cave guy that James Franco played, I really must. And now, a moment of zen

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.
