I know it was hard to tell at the time and hindsight is 20 20 but one early sign that maybe these Dems shouldn’t have voted to confirm someone who Trump 2.0 picked for a cabinet level post is that Trump had picked them for a cabinet level post www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I think the country has the idea that the people working for the federal government who live in DC are all glamorous white people with Ivy League law degrees. Actually a lot of them are Black Washintonians whose jobs holding down the country's infrastructure were humble. @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

Some good news amid the horror. Sally is running for a seat on the Albemarle County (VA) Board of Supervisors. She's super smart about local issues & is also a teacher, the mother of a big family, & a darn good historian. She'll be great in the BOS.

the whole thread. But rn this one seems extra urgent. I'm guessing the answer has to do with whatever shit happens to hit hardest _locally_ and getting each other ready for that.

If you don't think the "Greater Charlottesville Metro Area" is still smalltownish: I just answered a Craigslist add to buy some firewood and when I put the guy's number in my phone up popped texts from 3 years ago when we apparently discussed him adopting some of my ducks.

Hakeem what do you want me to do? My wallet is in my purse in the next room. My credit card is so far away and my arms are but a few feet long. I just don’t know how you expect me to help.

This is exactly right, I’ve said it 1,000 times, and @schumer.senate.gov and @schatz.bsky.social and @warren.senate.gov need to wake TF up and understand it: These are abnormal times, the media isn’t covering things as abnormal, and that’s b/c Dem Senators are not ACTING like things are abnormal.

Excellent short thread on why our Democratic senators aren't slowing nominations down as much as they really could and what the costs are.

Since presidents get to change names on maps now, elect me and I'll tag each state that was part of the Confederacy with "(Civil War Loser)" as a prefix. I do currently live in the commonwealth of (Civil War Loser) Virginia.

So many meangirl reactions to the Maddow plug of Blue Sky. But what I loved about Tw**ttr, esp Black Twtter, in the old times was that I learned so much* over time. Could please just tone down the smug a natch?

Made a reference to revolutions not being televised to my brother & sister in-law today and they had no idea what I was talking about in either the Kendrick or the Gil Scott Heron contexts and I feel like there should be some long German word for this kind of ARE YOU THE ALIEN OR AM I? feeling.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.
