“Poor man wanna be rich. Rich man wanna be king. The king ain’t satisfied ‘til he rules everything.”—Springsteen, Badlands

When shooting your dog in the face isn’t the worst thing you ever did.

I would too.

Can we send JD Vance to visit Putin next? Maybe Netanyahu? Bukele?

men will literally impose tariffs on islands entirely inhabited by penguins instead of going to therapy

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

No resisting anymore. Defying Tyranny is where I am at. Defy is so much better. #DefyTyranny

If I could speak to billionaires quivering in fear, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some money worth sacrificing your dignity? If I could speak to Republican politicians, I would ask: Is the risk of losing an election worth being remembered as a coward?

What a wonderful idea…👇 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

Done. There’s a lot of bullying, misinformation and assaults on democracy to report. Especially from zip code 20500.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.

Are you signed up for our 1/31 Climate Cafe yet? It's an excellent place for people indirectly affected by climate disasters to discuss feelings around their experiences and concerns. www.climatepsychology.us/climate-cafe...

New Orleans is not hell but maybe a combo of heaven and hell and omg are there a lot of snowballs.

I have 7 decades of being female. After the evil decrees I am adopting a Spartacus attitude. From now on I am non-binary. Pronouns: they/them youtu.be/FKCmyiljKo0

Here are all of the shelters, food kitchens, evacuation sites, and resources for anyone impacted by the LA fires and for anyone who wants to reach out and help. #PalisadesFire docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Nailed it.

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

Jimmy Carter gave us so many gifts. His final one was the delicious fact that the flags will fly at half mast on inauguration day. #JimmyCarter

I couldn’t agree more. This story should be bigger.

The photo that speaks more than a thousand paragraphs. It somehow evokes Edward Hopper's paintings. American realism in 2025. Not a meme, not AI, but horror almost beautiful in its truth. Dangerous, alienated, destructive. Pure poetry that it starts off this year.

The only thing we seem to have developed well is greed and corruption.

www.google.com/gasearch?q=P.... Thinking about Woody Guthrie and this song and what it means now to be an outlaw. And how the worst rob us with fountain pens. Or emails.

Working on a piece about possibility on this #newmoon. #Art helps.

Holding space for this being the perfect moment for Wicked to be on the big screen.

I’m a proud member of this alliance. It gives me hope. Not only for the world, but my profession.

So grateful for the creativity and resolve of my community. #sanfrancisco #queer #antifascist #feminist youtu.be/Cdv0S8zDAq8

Happy #caturday from San Francisco.
