Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Clicked over to watch the "Shadiversity vs. James Gunn" video by @agramuglia.bsky.social, and yet I've briefly paused after the intro, because the one thing I really, REALLY wanna know? ... when can I throw money at you for your book?

Re-upping this. If you happen to know how to get a hold of Biden, could you let him know?

Three years. Three years fighting canine lymphocytic leukemia. Three years with a prognosis of “six months, a year if she’s lucky”. The cancer finally won in the end. I fulfilled my promise — she went peacefully, without pain. Goodbye, Jamaica. I love you. I’ll miss you.

Back from vacay, and this wonderful collection of stories from @seananmcguire.bsky.social will hopefully ease the pain of going back to work. Absolutely gorgeous book; I’m gonna have to be careful when reading it!

They say to be the change you want to see in the world! That’s why, in 2025, I’ll be writing more force fem. Unrelatedly, my apartment building has a top tier basement. You could absolutely lose some dudes down there and no one would find them.

Marc Elias wins so often that we need to make sure we don't lose sight of the importance of each of these victories. This is massive news!

As a person with a large account here, I’m just going to repost people’s pleas to @aaron.bsky.team that he does something about Jesse Singal’s hate brigade. I’m disgusted.

Reskeet this until it breaks. Then reskeet it again. We need to flood Congress with phone calls TODAY to make sure they don't slip the dangerous and misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) into a must-pass year end bill. This bill would make kids LESS safe and threatens LGBTQ ppl & human rights.

… I have no idea what it means that it’s so close to perfectly balanced. (as all things should be)

I’m excited for @gregcasar.bsky.social’s leadership at the Progressive Caucus. He’s going to be great.

This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I don’t normally like to speak ill of the dead, but uh… couldn’t have happened to the CEO of a more fitting company. nypost.com/2024/12/04/u...

The grim reality of the fight for trans rights is that it's millionaire podcasters and billionaire posters against ordinary people who want to continue having access to the medicine that makes our lives worth living.

Contradicting claims that Europe is moving away from gender affirming care, France issued new guidelines reaffirming gender affirming care for trans youth. A similar one is expected in Germany soon. I have a feeling the New York Times won't report on this. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
