I’m not a news source, I post about life. My only socials (LinkedIn doesn’t count, silly). If you’re combative, I’ll block you. You’ll be fine. I’m simply not interested in in-fighting. I’m interested in collective efforts.

Over 1,000 people showed up in Framingham to make clear that we’re fired up and ready to fight back against every terrible policy Donald Trump and Elon Musk throw at us. 📸 John Walker

Well, if the cookie says so. I’ll keep ya updated.

Don't drown to prove you know the tide is rising

When someone tries to argue they can’t vote for a Dem candidate in the midterms bc they hate “those online libt*rds”, remind them they aren’t voting for dem4lfye from Portland who was “so mean”, they’re voting for a legislator who has a readily available platform which includes preserving democracy

The City of Boston is leading 40+ mayors, cities, and counties in an amicus brief against the Trump Administration's drastic and illegal cuts to federal research funding—cuts that will lead to immediate job losses nationwide.

Dehydrator has been launched! Gonna test store some of the results using my mason jar vacuum sealer and see how long it lasts. Top to bottom: 1 tray Dragon fruit 1 tray Yellow plum 1 tray Banana 1.5 tray Granny Smith 1.5 tray Honey crisp Next round tomorrow will be soup veggies 🍲

Big protest coming to Stonewall National Monument in just an hour or two. If you are in the area, get down there, be active, show your disapproval of the removal of transgender people from all online websites for the Stonewall National Monument page!

Look to the helpers. I love these examples of people showing up and fighting the good fight! 👏🏻👏🏻 If you’re gonna gripe, ya gotta fight! (I’m still workshopping that last bit😂)

In the spirit of finding the people already doing the work and supporting their efforts how I can, I joined the @sierraclub.org today and signed up for a monthly donation. They have a 96% from @charitynav.bsky.social, a good place to check on any non-profit you’re looking to support. 💙🦅🌎🐻💧

BREAKING: The Associated Press sues three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing the First Amendment.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

It’s been this kinda week.

Replace 30 min of doomscrolling with positive action. Maybe it’s calling your representatives (prompts and scripts provided in my feed), sign up to volunteer in your community. Set the standard you expect of others.

I am at the GA State Capitol this morning to highlight the importance of public health and specifically the CDC.

Instead of sharing and unwittingly providing additional views/ad dollars to news orgs you find vile, maybe start champing those new sources which do a good job of holding this administration accountable.

The reason the USA is so messed up is because everyone thinks bad things will never happen to them.

Lots of folks are asking what they can do to be helpful in this moment. I like the short list of action items that @choosedemocracy.bsky.social lists on their site. Democratic civil society is about being stronger together. Any effective strategy flows from that. choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

Merit based leadership position extended to 2 women, 1 a remote worker, on my ERG team. I hope someone a self-entitled dude is big mad about it. 😂

Today the Senate votes on Kash Patel for our FBI Director. Call them. Leave message. (202) 224-3121. Patel is a danger to American democracy & to every American. - he aims to weaponize the FBI against journalists, government officials, nonprofit organizations, and to all freedom loving Americans.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

People are waking up to just how bad things are with co-presidents Trump & Musk and Republicans running Congress. We don’t have to wait for midterms—we can win special elections now. We’ve been here before and won. @repjasmine.bsky.social lays out the path 🔥

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.
