I cancelled mine when they ratfucked Biden, and since then, I’ve often wished I could cancel it again.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

The reason I support trans rights is that trans people are just people and people have rights. Giving up on trans rights means that a “leader” will give up on other people’s rights — like queers or atheists — if right wing lunatics scream loudly enough. No thanks!

The #ski community does not disappoint! Avid skiers (rich and poor) tend to be pretty far left, and that’s reflected in local politics and local protests! ❤️⛷️🌈

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

I love thoughbreds. I own one who didn’t race, but worked on the track. The industry is abusive and corrupt and shouldn’t be propped up by government.

Is it just me or has the last 24 hours of U.S news been particularly ominous, even by the standards of the last 3 weeks? Feels like the wheels are coming off the bus even faster than I’d assumed.

I want to know who is okay with companies sending them like seven emails a day. I don't care what kind of sale you're having. You can MAYBE send me one email a month or else unsubscribe/report spam.

The complete failure of blue states to build housing is what's driving this Simply allow for any type of housing to be built pretty much anywhere, and cut all the wait times Just let housing get built en masse!

If you think the way the most powerful men treat their partners and families isn’t important, you’ve already fallen for their manipulation. The violence at home is part and parcel of their abuse of power

Prominent democrats largely see leadership as a station, you get elected and that makes you a leader. AOC sees leadership as an action. She performs real acts of leadership in all her communications.

Stop reposting this. It's wrong. The news out of Yosemite is horrific, but this is incorrect. (Former Yosemite ranger here, still connected to folks in the park.) About a dozen employees in Yosemite have lost their jobs. There are still approximately 400 employees in Yosemite.

It was perhaps two years ago the one started seeing references from the far-right online about repealing the 19th amendment which provides for universal suffrage (women's right to vote).

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Tonight I wrote the airlines I fly urging them to oppose the slash-and-burn cuts to the FAA! Here's what I sent, which I wrote very off-the-cuff and which anyone is welcome to use / edit as they see fit. Text is in the alt. #activism #faa

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Activism suggestion: If you’re concerned about the safety of air travel under this administration — which you should be — write to the airlines you fly and tell them that! Big corporations have lots of clout. Encourage them to use that in defense of safety regulations and government oversight!

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore
