Let me stop you before you go off half cocked again, Do Somethings. Democrats could not have stopped this confirmation. We don't have the numbers. If you are mad & rightly so, it's republicans that are to blame. Light up their phones, protest their homes. No sleep & no peace

Have at it, gulfers!

KITTY!

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

You had me at "I would hate for you to come away thinking that these fascists are only evil. They're also some of the most incredible dipshits and the biggest most embarrassing jagoffs the world has ever seen...demonstrating the emotional intelligence of a He-Man villain from 80s cartoons."

Still lazy after all these years. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Sorry if it's cringe or virtue signaling or whatever but unqualified and unconditional love and support to every trans person on earth. You will win and I will help you.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Your daily dose of adorable.

Elephant calf update: very baby

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I wouldn't be so crass as to say "Do your part for the resistance and read our book," but Dave Marsh described it as "patriotic in all the ways that matter, to all the things that one might justifiably be patriotic to"—and it's been reissued by Abrams Books: store.abramsbooks.com/products/unc...

We are watching in realtime the systematic unraveling of decades aviation safety accident investigative precedent and process from the President of the United States.

What nice words! They make me all the more glad that Our Uncle Sam book is back in print. store.abramsbooks.com/products/unc...

KITTY!

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

RIP Jules Feiffer, who went from being Will Eisner's assistant to a legendary cartoonist—and the author of "Little Murders," a corrosive satire about gun violence that was both hilarious and terrifying. (He also wrote the very informative and enjoyable "The Comic Book Heroes.") He'll be missed.

RIP to the great Garth Hudson, the secret weapon of The Band—and, as it happens, of any band. If there's ever such a thing as a barnburning synthesizer solo, he took it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAxg...

Here’s the switchboard number for the House 202-225-3121 and the Senate 202-224-3121. You don’t need to make a speech. Just tell your reps yes or no on a particular vote. It’s that simple. They DO keep tallies, but they can’t read your minds. Calling & writing is like voting. Get in the habit.

Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.

An important read.

RIP David Lynch, who fearlessly explored what lay beneath our collective veneer and found horror and humor and beauty that we otherwise might not have know was there. He'll be missed.
