I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race. I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:

20 minutes ago here in Venetie, Alaska, the skies erupted in a beautiful auroral substorm. Here is just one of many real-time videos I recorded during the show to give you a sense of how fast and dynamic the aurora can move.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points. She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine. “Deport Elon, Deport Elon!” Watch to the end…

I’m sorry I have been such a bad influence lately. Cats should not smoke cigarettes, or eat rubber bands, or sneak outside into the courtyard when the janitor is just trying to take out the recycling. I am sorry but I likely will not be able to consistently make better choices

Even as things go to shit, people still live through it. You have to and don’t have much of a choice in that fact. We gotta live and as long as we live it will be a fight. We have always fought. We have always lived.

Putting my big sister hat on for a second. Times are really dark. Now is not the moment to be hard on yourself, about anything at all. Now is the moment to lean into what comforts you. Do the thing. Make your art. Find your people. Find your joy. It’s not selfish. It’s fuel to keep fighting.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
