Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Those who were having stroke-level vein-popping slobberfests over Tik Tok stealing our private information are the same people who just voluntarily handed one of the shadiest social media oligarchs on the planet the entire system with the private financial and personal information of every American🤷‍♂️

One maintains unwavering faith that democracy, much like a properly polished silver service, will outlast those who seek to tarnish it. After all, quality endures while vulgarity merely shouts. Standards prevail through patience.

Do you think they will be rebooting school house rock to explain theocratic authoritarian rule? Because it seems a lot of the songs are outdated now.

In the space of half a day, the new administration has trashed the Constitution, subverted the independence of the DOJ, granted a broad amnesty to traitors, abandoned the global community on climate and public health, and launched a wide-ranging attack on minority rights.

Hi, Bluesky. Our friends from @cpsc.gov said we should join. Our memes are less unhinged but we try to be funny sometimes. What we really want to do is make sure workers know their rights and employers understand their responsibilities — and where they can go for help with a workplace issue.

This is what the incoming president is doing. Taking some misguided victory lap as LA burns. Has he uttered a single well wish for the millions of people in this city or is that only reserved for those who display sufficient fealty?

Mel Gibson's house in LA has burned down while Gibson was being interviewed by Joe Rogan. During this interview, Gibson nodded along in agreement while Rogan accused climate scientists of fearmongering. You couldn't make this sh*t up.

I pay attention. To it all. I infuse my lessons with media literacy, appreciation for the freedoms of democracy, and teach them to question EVERYTHING…including me. But he’s coming back, elected and unaccountable. I can’t pay attention to it anymore.
