Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

This book is crazy as hell & I love it 🤣 #booksky 📚💙

Crowd keeps growing outside Treasury as Members who were DENIED entry speak

Congratulations Beyoncé!! Country Album Of The Year!!! Black History Month and DEI is great! They BIG MAD ON THAT BIRD SITE !!! 🤣

“I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about” - Beyoncé after winning Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter”

Beyonce winning Best Country Album at the Grammys gonna piss off allll the right people.

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Canada is NEVER going to be America's 51st state. Anyone who thinks it will happen is a fucking moron.

Way back in 2016, @GOP believed the truth: the economy is just a complex set of interactions between people, and govt should facilitate that. Tariffs are the opposite. It’s big govt. And they say I changed. LOL

Stating the obvious: tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest Americans. A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer. Duh

I received a new advanced readers copy today. I need to set up a blog somewhere to post reviews 🤷‍♀️ #booksky 📚💙

It has only been 10 days but it already feels like an eternity 😔

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

The silence from Dems is deafening. We’re exhausted—looking for leadership and starting to feel desperate. Everything feels like it’s slipping away & electeds aren’t acknowledging it, let alone speaking on it. @dougjones.bsky.social sounds like someone who’s actually read the room. More of this!

I just realized - we actually have data on Pete Buttigieg's favorability in Michigan from late July 2024. 👇 In Michigan, Pete's net favorability was +9% among all registered voters & +16% among Independents 👏 And he was at +48% net favorability among Michigan Democrats 👏

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

I just finished reading "So Gay For You" by Katherine Moennig & Leisha Hailey. If you're a fan of The L Word or their podcast Pants, you'll love this book. It's love & friendship & chosen family & some great behind-the-scenes stuff too. 10/10 #booksky 📚💙

Did I just pre-order a handful of special edition hardcover books that I don't need but really really want?? yes, yes I did 😉 I need less books or more bookshelves #booksky 📚💙

This makes my 💚 so happy! I may or may not have listened to this clip on a loop for the last 30 minutes 🤓 audiobook pre-ordered ✅ #booksky 📚💙

Donald Trump is pardoning insurrectionists and renaming geographic landmarks to distract you from the fact he is literally about to freeze all federal assistance dollars. He is flooding the zone to distract you. Don't let him!

it's almost like there is a correlation between buying books, reading books & an out of control TBR pile. Also I need more bookshelves. 🤓 #booksky 📚💙

🥰 my heart!!! Hex 🎃& Coal 🎅🏼 will appear in "Go Luck Yourself" ☘️ I am so excited ‼️ #booksky 📚💙

I dont know about y'all but this has been the absolute longest week of my life 😩

Looks like the first felon president will have an alcoholic sex offender in charge of the most powerful military in history. What could possibly go wrong?

Secret Service agents arrived yesterday at Hamline Elementary School in Chicago searching for an 11-year-old child who posted an anti-Trump video. AN ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD CHILD. The principal said school administrators followed protocols and denied entry to the agents.

We love bookish totes. 📚 If you haven't been by in a while, we have a really fun selection!

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

Nor am I!

I had to take a little break from social media. my brain was completely overwhlemed & over stimulated. Im feeling much better now 😉

I don't know if anyone else is obsessed with the Justin Baldoni vs Blake Lively lawsuit but I am invested 💯 and what I have learned from this situation is 1) document everything and, 2) save every text, email & vm. you never know when you might need it.

YOU DID IT LAWRENCE!!!! WOOOOOOooooooootttt!!!!

fostering a dog and he just tried to eat my lasagna. you’re not a cat bro. that’s cultural appropriation

I am done reacting to every little chaotic thing this administration does. They want our attention, confusion and fear and they CANNOT have it. I am filling my life with peace, joy and so much work. Resistance is putting yourself and your community first.

Hands up everyone who zooms in on every picture posted with a bookshelf in the background to check out the books
