If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

This is a real pretending-Bluesky-is-old-Twitter request but: I’m looking for two tickets to the NT Live screening of The Importance of Being Earnest tonight at the Coolidge Corner Cinema, if anyone in the Boston area has tickets but can’t use them.

This is the kind of thing where I think what's the point / they won't even notice / one person's purchases make no difference---until there's a tipping point and I think OKAY I'M IN. Like, what is the BEST that can happen if we just go ahead and do it, vs. what is the worst.

it was bad when the worst poster on my favorite website bought that website and made it terrible but it has been worse having that person also buy my country that i live in

I have a choice between Delta and United, similar price flights. The Delta flight is much better in terms of schedule. But I remember at one point swearing NEVER AGAIN re Delta. Still, that seems to happen for every airline, if you fly often. In YOUR experience, which of Delta/United is preferable?

I appreciate that my therapist’s attitude now is “things are completely out of control, inhumane, and in a state of collapse and if you are reacting in a way that demonstrates that you understand the gravity, that is the most normal reaction of all.”

We know it’s tempting to give into cynicism or despair right now. So let us tell you what keeps us going: We are in daily communication with Members of Congress and senior staff who want to see a unified opposition as well. They are fighting on the inside to build that opposition. 🧵

If you're using Resistbot and SMS, proof-read the preview: mine have been absolute gobbledygook. Resistbot would like me to use something other than SMS (they offer Apple iMessage, Facebook Messenger, or Telegram); I'm more likely to use something other than Resistbot.

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

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.

No one elected Elon Musk. As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences. We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

I am trying to delete my Twitter tweets/likes with Redact, and it is not going well. Only some things have been deleted, but Twitter is no longer showing me any tweets/replies of mine. Tweets I have unliked still show up in my Liked Tweets, minus the Like heart.

I am so glad to see someone saying this. I am seeing so, so, so many discouraging things saying representatives ignore emails, that emails do NOTHING. As if reps are allowed to ignore communication from a constituent if it isn't a phone call.

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"
