The world’s a mess, but spring training is here. Fresh-cut grass, unnecessary optimism, and a 34-year-old guy who played for the Long Island Ducks last year trying to make the team. Baseball heals. #SpringTraining #HopeSpringsEternal #LGM

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape. But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused." More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

I know a lot of people are upset with him for a number of understandable reasons, but the simple fact is that history is—broadly speaking—going to remember him kindly. There is just no getting around that.

Being in an empty cinema in the middle of the day is one of life's secret pleasures. Do it more often. No one can call you. You can't check the internet. No one knows how baked you may or may not be. They have movies and snacks there, too, but that's just a bonus at this point.

A thing everyone has forgotten is that Donald Trump basically sprang Roger Stone from prison so he could help with the coup and it was maybe a one day story.

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

the thing about being a political junkie is you have extremely difficult time conceptualizing how someone could be totally ignorant of politics but i would strongly encourage you to imagine the kind of person who googled “did biden drop out?” on november 4th and then cast a ballot on november 5th
