Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward. They can't just wish it away unless we let them.

Two things: 1. If Elon really starts making unilateral cuts to money that was allocated by Congressional budgets, then people need to call it plainly for what it is 2. We don’t work weekends generally because of labor laws Elon wants to destroy and because we have families who love us

Who among us hasn’t accidentally texted the wrong person? But I don’t think any of us have accidentally posted on social media instead of texting. Then there’s Donald Trump… Trump posted a private message meant for Musk on TS by mistake. If Biden did this, Republicans would be howling dementia!

Canadian House of Commons Member Charlie Angus: Canadians are very proud of our traditions. We know, having lived next door to our neighbors… that while our taxes might be slightly higher, it doesn’t cost us a dime to go to the doctor…

You decide whose description of Kash Patel is most accurate: NYT: "firebrand loyalist." WSJ: "loyalist." WaPo: "staunch defender." AP: "steadfast Trump ally." Me: "Trump henchman." Democracy Docket is fiercely independent. It will never obey. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

I retired from HS teaching 9.5 years ago. Now I am again teaching - 2nd grade in a very small rural school. The job is joyful and I love the kids. What’s puzzling is the adults - largely conservative and vote that way, but against vouchers and for better healthcare. So confusing.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky. My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation. Here are my rules why I block them: open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

I am listening to a mystery audiobook and the characters use the term “fartlighting” to describe situations where someone says something outrageous to cause a stink. I have needed that term for my entire adult life.

If we didn’t believe the US was worth saving we’d simply move on and ignore you. Believe in the you that we believe you can be, not the you they are telling you to be. Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid, it means standing up to evil and injustice even when you are afraid.

Good cannot prevail against evil without your active participation. Voting is a civic duty but when that isn’t enough, your voices need to echo through the streets.

Hate and bullying thrive on attention—starve them of oxygen. Focus your energy on kindness, support, and lifting others up. 🌱✨ Let the negativity wither away.

I won’t leave other sites, but I’m hopeful I’ll find more positivity and hope here. It all feels so dire out there.
