READ IT AND WEEP, HATERS.

Every time a Black movie does well, there's a weirdness over the way that that's covered. Then, there is a very familiar and valid outrage in response to that. A few months later, it happens all over again. It doesn't seem like anyone learns anything from this. Smarter conversations need to be had.

What I am doing about fascism today: 1) healing knee injured by rogue ball during kids baseball game, 2) teaching the historiography of lynching; 3) watering seedlings that will become tomatoes; 4) comments on history of segregation.

really giving some Chancellor Vernham energy more and more every day

Zooey is doing WORK in Montana and teaching everyone several lessons: 1) You can stand on your values as a Democrat and not harm trans people. 2) Doing so can actually move hearts and minds in a traditionally conservative state. 3) There is value in having representation in our halls of power.

The tide is changing in Montana! Today, 17 Republicans joined with democrats to defeat another anti-trans bill in the MT house. Additionally, Republicans joined democrats to kill a "forced outing" bill in House Education yesterday. That's 2/2 in defeating anti trans bills this week!

Congrats to Cory Booker for snatching the filibuster record away from Storm Thurmond with only eight shopping days to go until Confederate Surrender Day

They really underestimated our ability to hold a grudge.

I spoke with the Washington Post about why the Trump administration is so focused on US history: because authoritarian regimes rewrite history to legitimize their projects and normalize their chaotic, violent governance. Gift link: wapo.st/4cdjRFQ

inject this into my veins

If a story I wrote ever led to an outcome as beautiful as this, I’d simply cry myself to sleep every night like a Victorian widow. Just clutching my chest, whispering, “My work here is done.”

Hey Montana friends - super helpful breakdown of the two surviving property tax bills in the MT legislature. I'm no political scientist, but one bill really seems like a bunch of horseshit. #mtpol

As a native plant girlie who's trying to build more community in my neighborhood, this project blew my mind. This is so much better than my current practice of dropping seeds in the mailboxes of neighbors who stopped by once to say they like my wildflower front yard.

This is a hopeful little thread.

Transport Safety Board of Canada (TSB) Preliminary Report (A25O0021) for the Delta CRJ crash at Pearson Airport (YYZ) is now available for viewing! (Great brief format TSB. I enjoyed this!) #avgeek #aviation

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

Can we start calling them Chamberlain Democrats now?

unions bring people together

Buy the ticket take the ride dumbasses.

They're really just going to Woodrow Wilson his ass, right? But instead of Mrs. Wilson Weekend-at-Bernie's-ing him, it'll be the tight inner circle.

I feel so seen.

I love this.

This year I somehow (finally!) convinced a bunch of friends to make xmas eve tamales with me. Pintos are bubbling away on the stove and later this afternoon I get to teach a bunch of friends the magic of tamale production line. ¡Felices Fiestas!

Unions, because it’s VERY unlikely three ghosts will appear and scare your boss into doing the right thing.

This story keeps getting worse and worse. I cannot understand why instead of facing criminal charges he's been presumably enjoying his retirement in his fancy house just up the hill from me.

CEOs scared of being gunned down get a hotline to call. School kids scared of being gunned get to call their moms and tell them they love them.
