A letter to my school's district on Friday at the end of February break: "For Niskayuna" Friends, I will not be at school on Monday. I will not be putting in for personal time or sick days, because the time I intend to take does not fall under either category.

"his efforts on the international stage and his dedication to domestic reforms, Zelensky has demonstrated that true leadership is not about wielding power, but about empowering others. His story is one of courage, determination, and the belief that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope"

If you haven’t seen this yet, please do. Because this morning something awesome happened that I’m going to say more about soon…. Hint: Georgia…. Town hall. It’s happening…. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Fire Elon Musk. Use every legislative, judicial, and public pressure tactic at our disposal until we get it done.

We're in a coup, which means we're in a nightmare, which means we're all ramped up, so let me offer you some deep time, perseverance, and beauty, before you and I go back to the work.

Water is our most precious natural resource. If you live in Kentucky you can help protect it in less than a minute. This is an urgent action. actionnetwork.org/letters/sb89...

Despite a backlog of nearly 3.7 million cases in U.S. immigration court, the Trump administration has fired 20 immigration judges without an explanation, according to a union representing federal workers, reports @arianalfigueroa.bsky.social.

My hardworking brother has become severely disabled. Retirement money will begin to arrive in March and he's applied for disability. In the meanwhile, he's unable to work and he's really worried he may lose his house. Anything you might be able to do to help would be tremendously appreciated.

You gotta be kidding. All the problems WV has and they want to name a mountain after the tRump www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/...

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Hi that was a coup last night in case no one mentioned that to you. The executive branch seized the power of the purse the Constitution gave to Congress, which is a pretty authoritarian / illegal consolidation of powers move. Time to go yell at your reps, the media, etc.

Wonder what they are working on under that big gold dome down in Charleston? Probably not what needs to be. mountainstatespotlight.org/2025/01/28/f...

Two parties running at different speeds. Senate Dems are holding a press conference today to condemn the pardoning of J6ers. That was done a week ago. Unclear if there is a presser today to go after the OMB's power play to take over all federal grant money.

This cat is all of us, trying to get to the end of fucking January.

Love me some Tyler Childers! www.youtube.com/watch?v=udNm...

You guys need to see this and take it in… Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

If this year taught us anything, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires. 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers. 3) Poverty is a policy choice. 4) Health care is a human right. 5) Strikes work. I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

When I was a child, I learned that the Constitution didn’t apply to people like us. I said the Pledge of Allegiance from inside a barbed wire camp, the words “with liberty and justice for all” wholly meaningless. But I did not give up on America. I’ve spent my life fighting for its ideals.

MOOD FOR THE NEXT FOUR FUCKING YEARS. #goodtrouble

An incredibly touching video about the power of love by Kentucky’s Tyler Childers. The story is written by Silas House @silashouse.bsky.social, Kentucky’s Poet Laureate (2023-2024), and his partner and author, Jason Kyle Howard. They all make the Bluegrass state a much better place to be.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/
