G’night, all. 😘

#TeamPete: how great would it be if, instead of having to listen directly to Trump's speech tomorrow night, we could get a real-time, annotated translation from @petebuttigieg.bsky.social? It would be like having an interpreter for Those Who Want to Stay Informed But Also Can't Even.

@slotkin.senate.gov I'm so glad you were chosen for tomorrow's critical address! Let it be the first installment of a *daily video briefing* by #Democrats -- giving worried citizens of all stripes a shared reality, a sense of opposition #leadership, and a clear set of marching orders. How-to here:

It was a beautiful dunk but also: look at the PHOTO accompanying so much of the coverage. It's perfection! Kudos to: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images. #sports #photography 👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌

@karaswisher.bsky.social reporting on, um, Kara Swisher and doing a good job of it. #WaPo #media #entrepreneurship #Bezos podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

My husband just reminded me of that time our daughter drew eyebrows on the dog but didn’t say anything and none of us could figure out why he seemed so weird. #dogs

This is one of those times I'm really hoping the robots are wrong. Do *you* know of any statements from any of our most high-profile business leaders that ChatGPT (and I) might have missed?

It's here!!! Every year, I look forward to @bbfulton3.bsky.social's Oscars roundup. Check it out:

More and more, I'm having a hard time hearing "Waste, Fraud, and Abuse" as anything but their nicknames.

#Mobsters everywhere: "Wait a second! Now we can just do our gangster stuff right out in the open? On television even? Well huh. I mean the movies about us aren't going to be half as interesting--because no more skulduggery--but it does sound EFFICIENT."

If you were in Congress, what would you do for the State of the Union? What do you think Dems should do?

@bbfulton3.bsky.social if leaving Facebook means I missed your #Oscars round-up (?!), well that *is* a crying shame. But still: I can't go back. Will you share it here?

Members of #congress and big company #CEOs: the longer you refrain from speaking up, the more awkward it will be *for you* when you finally do. Link proverbial arms and do it together, today. kategace.substack.com/p/the-two-gr...

Did I mention my love of #design and #fonts?

Hillary Clinton deserves to spend the whole weekend muttering "I told you so." Instead, she'll probably spend it being quietly competent and patriotic.

If I’m going to stick to my original plan to publish only once every two weeks, things are going to have to calm the f*** down. Here, I call for #congress and big-time #CEOs to do more. Or at the very least: to *say* more. kategace.substack.com/p/the-two-gr...

THIS is what we need. Listen to the first 50 seconds of this--one of our reps talking directly to the camera--and convince me there shouldn't be a daily YouTube briefing from #Democrats. THIS is what we need. Thank you, Seth Moulton. 🙌🇺🇸🙌 www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Me, every time a power outage finally ends on our fair island. Amirite #Seattle?

My college friend @drjudymelinek.bsky.social remains the go-to #forensic pathologist for many media outlets. I've always admired the humanity she brings to her work: it's always about providing the answers that survivors--and the general public--understandably crave. (Link in 🧵.)

@aoc.bsky.social, wisely, keeps telling us to #breathe, so I went outside…and the mountain was out. 🙌 Anyone else have #breathe pics to share on this Thursday eve? #walks #dogs #succulents #keitrucksNA :) #bueller ?

On a webinar earlier, about #organizing coalitions among other things, this was suggested as a way to break through with people who voted for Trump: "I don't need you to admit you were wrong. I just need you to admit you were lied to." Has anyone tried it? How did it go? What might work better?

So @washingtonpost.com now Democracy Dies in Darkness is less a warning and more a mission statement?

Also, since fiduciary duty to shareholders is sooo sacred, shouldn't Tesla's board consider action? Instead of addressing Tesla's 70% (!) slide in Q4 net income, their CEO is busy running an illegal hackathon? How on earth does a responsible board defend that to shareholders?

Fiduciary duty to shareholders is real--but we need our most famous, public-company CEOs to start speaking up. Is it risky to cross a vindictive president? Sure. 1/2

Hurrah—the @ferries.wsdot.wa.gov joined Bluesky today! (Btw once you see the hat you can’t unsee it—sorry.)

This--still up on the CDC's website--was a thing #scientists accomplished when we (a bipartisan we) supported them and their work. Today, an unvaccinated child in Texas died and @apnews.com reports that vaccine skeptic/HHS secretary RFK Jr. "dismissed the Texas outbreak as 'not unusual.'"

This pic of Ollie reminded me to check whether the @nickmalis.bsky.social website ‘Cute Things Falling Asleep’ is still around. It is!

My 15yo was smart enough to buy #nvidia a few yrs ago. But he's also short-sighted enough to keep liquidating his holdings to buy snacks--vs. pack snacks from home. So I keep sending him #AI estimates of what his Caramel Macchiato is costing him in terms of future value. He is unmoved. #parenting

@karaswisher.bsky.social a word problem for @profgalloway.com to whiteboard on the next @pivotpod.bsky.social: how many citizens need to send you how many dollars (and how many current subscribers need to abandon Bezos' hollowed-out WaPo) for your journalist-led acquisition to happen? Standing by.🫡

You know how there's the meeting and then The Meeting? How much do we think Trump's cabinet wants a second gathering that "Musk's busy schedule unfortunately prevents him from attending."
