I will never to my dying day forget the moment a politically motivated assassin murdered this woman and this dog and Senior Republican leaders turned it into a joke. And no other Republicans called them out on it.

It feels kinda weird when you make a new friend on Bluesky & you’re going thru their feed like “this is cool” & “I agree with that” but then have to stop yourself b/c you’re like “am I hitting like too much? They’re gonna think I’m a weirdo but if I stop will they wonder why I stopped?” Ah #anxiety

Every 2 months I get a delivery of Bravecto for my dogs. So I have a question for #bigPharma: where the heck is the chewable pill I can take to stave off fleas, ticks, and ideally mosquitoes? Because apparently I’m delicious.

It would be nice if people waited for the facts before posting BS but many of these influencers are allergic to facts anyway. For more information about domestic extremism (rising since 2014) check out this report csis-website-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/...

"There are two ways you can hurt people; you can hurt a person actively, like by punching them or stealing from them or whatever, but you can also hurt a person passively, by refusing to give them help when they need it, or by pretending you don't see them, or by acting like they don't exist. 1/13

And to think it was only 12 years ago that Cheerios dared to have an interracial family in a commercial & it was “controversial.” Or only 9 years ago that I started receiving death threats from white supremacists for a CNN interview I did on a “where white people meet” dating app. #stillfighting

Part of what enabled the rise of the far-right National Socialist party in Germany was that the parties on the left (Communists, Social Democrats) couldn't come together (and were being actively intimidated, too, of course...many factors). What can we agree on? Can we move forward there?

I fear I have lost someone I deeply care about to this very phenomenon. If anyone tells you that they didn't sleep the night prior because they were up all night arguing with ChatGPT it may be a warning sign. Was one I wished I had paid more attention to. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...
