One of the people who runs the shower side of the shower pop up my free clothes closet is at, Deeq, needs dental help. He is genuinely one of the best souls I know. He runs the kids' programming, does Somali translation, organizes the food shelf... And he needs community right now. 💕💸

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

When I talk to kids today and they ask me what I would do if I were 12 today, my answer is always the same, read books and learn how to use AI in every way shape and form you can. It is a living library that gives you responses and can help no matter who you are or where you live.

Just going to say again that one of the best things folks can be doing is to walk around their neighborhoods handing out two pagers to their neighbors explaining what's happening. If 1 million people committed to doing this over the month of March, we'd be getting somewhere re: info.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Trump's attacks on federal workers have led to a surge in union signups, according to AFGE. The union's goal was to hit 325K members by end of 2025 but they might hit it by end of this week. “I really want to send him an organizing award,” union prez says of Trump. www.huffpost.com/entry/afge-g...

Crashes involving small aircraft (including small private jets) really do happen a lot. Some of this is pareidoilia. By all means hang shit around the administration's necks as much as possible, but don't lose sight of the actual truth here.

This is not accidental. They can't keep spreading conspiracy theories about what USAID was doing (at least not as easily) if the genuine records are right there, publicly available for everyone to read. There have to be consequences for this down the road. People need to pay for actions like these.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

If you, like me, are sick of your Senators not answering their phones or having full voicemails, I just used Resistbot to fax strongly worded letters. It costs a bit (it costs ten "coins" and I bought 400 for $10), but at least annoys them more then calling a full line.

I spent a bunch of time in Milosevic's Serbia and even to a teenager, it was astounding to see how much misery, corruption and societal failure people would excuse for the vague promise that the government would hurt someone else on their behalf.

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts. The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails. The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.
