To our friends & allies across the globe who today stood in solidarity with those of us in the US who are angry, scared, & mortified: thank you for your grace, your light, & your empathy. Thank you for your support of those of us who aren't in the cult. We see you & are grateful.

Seniors in Salt Lake City heading out for a #nokingsprotest in front of their assisted living facility.

Very interesting thread.

2 NO KINGS rally in Providence, RI. This one at our State House

The Republican contempt for girls and women is literally killing us.

Democrats’ message should surely be: What Sen. Ernst really means here is that the donors, lobbyists, and elites Sen. Ernst now hangs around with don’t much care about some less well-off people dying.

Our Congress does NOT represent our country. Vote them out!

OOOHHH, SNAP and BURN! 🔥🔥🔥

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

"I can see why the Trump administration is going after Columbia, rather than, say, Stanford, where swastikas were drawn on campus whiteboards, or the University of Alabama, which recently decided to name a building after a former KKK member."

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

Old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn't buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he's up to. Guy says: "looking for an obituary." Vendor says "those are towards the back of the paper, comrade." Guy says: "not the one I'm looking for."

Today's @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social column is well worth reading. "Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president." @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

Fox News is reporting this and irony may never recover.

It would be a terrible thing if this went viral.

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him

My latest, a tough and important article to write. @rollingstone.com On Carter's death and the Trump resistance. “Racist, sexist, misogynistic, transphobic ideology. It’s violent, and we have to name the violence. We have to stop the violence. That’s our task.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Most large galaxies have at their center a cluster of black holes, with a supermassive black hole (SBH) at the cluster’s core. The Milky Way’s SBH is called Sagittarius A*. At noon on Monday, our nation’s capital will have at its core a cluster of moral black holes that we should call Cluster B*.

Is this bullshit a prequel or a sequel to the shit show that is a Trump presidency?

This is going to piss a lot of men off, but ignore them, too!

It's devastating knowing you have spent the last 20 years as a criminal attorney dedicated to the rule of law, while watching a con man orchestrate the destruction of 250 years of legal precedent and the institutions that created those laws so he can financially profit and escape any accountability

There's plenty of time for you to finish making your bed later...

@bidenpotus.bsky.social Happy Birthday, President Biden! đź’™

Cat Tax? Paying up...here's Pearl. She's 17 1/2 yo.

Out of roughly 153 million votes cast in this election, the presidency was decided by 230k across the three states of Wisconsin (30k), Michigan (80k) and Pennsylvania (120k). That's 00.15%. This remains an extremely closely divided nation. Any agenda viewed as extreme is likely to face backlash.

I have not been able to turn on the news since 11/5. Reading it is tough enough. I found a James Taylor's greatest hits CD hiding in the glove compartment of my car and have been playing it over and over. "Up On The Roof" by Carole King and Gerry Goffin is such a great song!

You know the assignment. And we need to do a deeper dive to ensure none have a platform here...
