I think if you’re a lawmaker calling for U.S. military action against Iran, you should be required to post a verified video of yourself pointing it out on an unlabeled map and offering at least an undergraduate level summary of the past five years of Iranian foreign policy.

It's summer.

I say again: men are clearly too emotional to be in leadership.

Refused to be written off and battled every step of the way. Thank you for joining us on this incredible ride, Beaver Nation. #GoBeavs

Some of Tucson’s & AZ's favorite spaces — Sabino Canyon, parts of Mount Lemmon and Madera Canyon — could all be available for sale to the highest bidder as part of the current draft of President Donald Trump’s budget bill, per @arizonaagenda.bsky.social. tucsonagenda.substack.com/p/sabino-can...

I was born 150 years too late, because I could really go for a doctor sending me off to the seaside for some air and insisting I stay absolutely zootled on laudanum the whole time

Right where we want to be. #GoBeavs

"And now, in the latest of a string of appalling actions, a sitting U.S. senator has been assaulted and detained in the state he honorably serves solely because he tried to do his job as a public servant. The good faith experiment is clearly over." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-good-f...

Like yes I love my coffee but also being alert isn't really all it's cracked up to be either right now so idk

Don't let Donald's tariff stupidity distract you from talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon that put our troops in danger. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not. And we can multitask our criticisms.

POLLEN: that's him right there ALSO POLLEN: let’s fuck up his car too

"We know you’re out of power. We understand you’re in the minority. We hear that, loud and clear. What we’re not hearing is your anger. We’re not hearing your outrage. We’re wondering whether or not you actually hear us." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/comms-advi...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Eighty years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.

OPINION | The fight against hate continues. The battle is not yet won. Our post-WWII promise of 'never again' has not yet been fulfilled.

Once I learn how to regulate my trauma responses, effectively communicate my emotions, pay off all my debts, and finally reconcile the existential madness that is modern life, it’s over for you bitches

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

Sorry we’re not riding at dawn. We’re having coffee and catastrophizing the day at dawn. Then we’re doing Wordle. Then we’re doing 35 minutes of doomscrolling, then we’re taking the longest hottest shower, then we’re sitting on the edge of the bed staring at nothing for a while, THEN maybe we ride.
