always remember

Did people not read The Jungle? Yikes

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

I know folks are upset about the lack of a mass protest in Boston today. I think that it would have been irresponsible considering 2013 BUT there are still ways to show up. Go to the reenactment. Boo any mention of the King with "No Kings here!"

Ahhhhj it just started again. Usually I'd be upset because I'm a light sleeper but I'm just JAZZED about be a part of the experience!

This whole 250 anniversary is wild. It's hard to sleep when you're so excited about THE REGULARS ACROSS THE STREET FROM YOUR HOUSE AT LITERALLY 1:30 AM. I was the only person awake and videoing, but I am the daughter of my Revolutionary War Vet ancestors...

I hope everyone's day is filled with as much joy as my son finding a stack of vinyl being given away on the side of the road.

As a lawyer, I can tell you why Abrego Garcia must remain in El Salvador. If he were free, he could sue me for defamation and win. by Pam Bondi

I went to visit my partner for Passover this weekend, and we literally spent an evening calculating how likely it was for us to be sent to a Gulag for our social media posts over the last 20 years. 0/10: Not a great date night

Just a suggestion for anyone preparing to travel outside the 48 contiguous states (sorry Alaska, Hawaii, territories, and protectorates) DON’T …unless you know with 99.999% certainty you’ll be allowed back in. And even that .001% is up in the air.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Hoosiers are the hobbits of America and as a Hoosier, could someone please stop this adventure so I can get off

The weird thing for me is that I'm not at all shocked. That's over by the Brew Co, a place I used to frequent. These are the people I grew up around, and this culture was pervasive. I was frequently told I was too uptight. I played d&d with guys like this. I went to church with them.

I'm pretty sure it would mean we were literal Nazis...

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

It was a wet day of protests in Boston, but we all still showed up.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

And now let's hear what our economist has to say...

We asked marchers why they decided to join in solidarity with all workers on Cesar Chavez Day. Listen to what they had to say! #WithTheseHands #ConEstasManos

Say it with me: you can’t 10x the government with one mid dev and ChatGPT.

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

Maybe now when we yell "do something!" the answer won't be "like what?"

He's orbiting the crime scene He sees us down here burning I can't wait to belt this out with my 16 year old while making dinner with the rest of their discography...

The goal isn’t to build a beautiful system. The goal is to build something useful. Some people in rare moments do both, but that’s a short lived accident which will be fixed in the v2

Let's keep this momentum going and protect our neighbors

Attn Boston folks

I just want to say as a millennial with a young adult graduating this year... Hooboy. There's some trauma response brewing to all the systems being REALLY FUCKED as I'm trying to help my eldest navigate them. They were REALLY FUCKED when I was 18 and then got a little better and now CHAOS REIGNS. 😬

Welp... www.cnn.com/2025/03/25/b...

So I hear planning wars by Signal is American (best when inviting random reporters!)... I'm so behind on how things work now

This is leadership

I'm here to care of my youngest brother this week post surgery! He still needs some help while navigating this weird financial time so that he doesn't have to return to work too early. Thanks to all who have helped out

we're not throwing trans people under the bus for any fucking reason. None. There are two sides: the one that throws people under buses and the side that does not. Choose which one you are on.

I hate that this is the compass we use to see where things are headed. 😬

It was an amazing show last night!
