Love my family, friends and country. Scared for all. But also like quiet moments in the fall, a wagging tail, a great story, oh and wine.

I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

I switched to BSky and I love it—except…why oh why is my feed overrun with cat posts? I mean it’s every other post! Help!

it’s weird knowing you’re living through a time historians will name like “The Storm of Idiocy”

Whether intentional or not, private education separates us. At this time in history, our kids need to grow together. @4publiceducation.bsky.social propub.li/40ztla1

"I have joined over 100 of my colleagues to call on the president to order the archivist to publish [the ERA]. It has met all of the requirements of the constitution, & under federal law once it does that it, it SHALL be published”- @RepMcClellan (D-VA04) bluevirginia.us/2025/01/vide...

So they stopped talking about that really quickly

Just a reminder 💚

I’m excited for @gregcasar.bsky.social’s leadership at the Progressive Caucus. He’s going to be great.

If you're a Democratic politico - elected official, candidate, operative, etc. - and you don't understand the urgency of Democrats addressing the toxic media landscape, you really shouldn't be a Democratic politico. bluevirginia.us/2024/12/frid...

People criticizing the Hunter Biden pardon need to recognize: For the 1st time, the FBI and Justice Department could literally fabricate evidence, or collaborate with a foreign government to “find” evidence of a “crime,” with zero accountability. That’s why the pardon goes back to 2014. Think, McFly

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media: Is it a story? Sure. But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

Just insane that the left treated the tech industry with increasing hostility just because they undermined organized labor, flouted the regulatory state, and bragged that they were going to get rid of everybody's jobs for a decade straight.

Compassion and decency are for suckers and losers
