There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Drove home behind a base model Tesla (they love when you call them that) with license plate "RDA 5TD" which I can only assume is akin to a nutritional label regarding the sexual health of the driver.

I just keep thinking that the "gov't should be run like a major corporation" people who also believe the current state of things is inconsistent with how major corporations are run have obviously never worked for a major corporation.

At risk of bragging, bravo me for having the patience and tenacity to dick around on my phone for 15 minutes until a parking space opened up at the gym.

Had another appt. with Tia (woman-focused comprehensive health care) and just have to sing their praises again. Yesterday, a pill got lodged in my throat. Like, LODGED. Tried water, tried coughing, started to panic, threw up. (I am not a puker.)

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

We did a lot of silly things in Trump 1. But @indivisible.org taught us the power of, "Call you your reps!" We must do this now to ensure Medicaid doesn't get gutted. And because Republican grassroots picked up from us to always call. If we're not calling those Republicans, they are.

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

I want to stop using "How are you?" as a default question upon reconnecting with someone because lately it means forcing them to choose between dark truths or lying, so I'm trying to find an alternative. I want something like 'What's making you smile these days" but less irritatingly perky. Ideas?

FEEDBACK: "How do you keep up with all this stuff? It seems overwhelming." It is overwhelming by design. As a journalist, it's my job to not be overwhelmed.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

a thing to flag with these EOs is that the terms they use have no legal meaning. "green new deal" is rhetoric. it's not a defined set of programs. same with DEI. it's a combination of intentional interference and not bothering to learn about things you disagree with.

Just a reminder that yes, they would really like to do all the stuff in all these executive orders but also they are "flooding the zone with shit" so that people are destabilized and less likely to unite to push back against any of it.

We're all going to have to get WAY better at asking "Is that something he can actually DO, or is it something he said he WANTS to do?" because there's a big big big difference and the news media is utterly failing to point that out.
