I guess that I should add a bio because of the influx of bot accounts, etc… I actually kind of like the anonymity here. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. We also have a hedgehog but he just grumbles at me. I’m a nerd and into many nerdy things

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Just got out of jail. Only forty four left to go to catch John Lewis’s record. Remember - peaceful civil disobedience. Don’t comply in advance.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

The “Red Dawn” remake that we’re living through is stupid

If we can flip the House, we can open investigations, stop legislation, subpoena testimony, etc. Democrats have won a few local races across the US in red states, in Trump districts (that he won by +20). Momentum is on our side. Just because it's a long shot doesn't mean we shouldn't take it. LFG.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.
