I ❤️ Lisa Rubin. Let's give her a whole show where she can teach us civics and the law.

I hit 500 followers today! Thank you to my bluesky frands!

For all of you who were wondering...

Just so we are clear, I would always rather be right.

This is s stunningly accurate summary of current events.

I need to jump back into some postmodern thinking. What is everyone reading these days?

Today is your daily reminder that they are trying completely dismantle higher education in the United States. youtu.be/3ufwNp78X0I?...

Ok, I am opening up a can of worms, but I am so over all of these "dances" with parents and their elementary school-aged children. They're weird, they're not inclusive, and they are very clearly meant to indoctrinate people into cishet malarky.

Is anyone else afraid of posting about politics at the moment? It's a lot, right now, and I am increasingly aware of how my freedom is tied up in others' freedom.

I think it's today. I think today has cemented itself as the day when I realized there's no coming back from this unless there is an extreme shift in public thinking.

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but not everything should be run like a business, and not everything should be run by business people.

For my #highered folks.

So, you're telling me that there was a helicopter crash and a plane crash this week? Is this just being reported differently, or was it always like this?!

I wonder what the @signal.org chats are like about the tariffs. Those are being preserved, correct?

Sometimes work is difficult because nobody (including myself) has any idea what they're supposed to be doing. That's all.

Can someone with a Truth Social account let me know the next time he tells everyone to buy, buy, buy? Jk, not trying to do anything that would break a law.

BREAKING: I'm exhausted and afraid, but I have people counting on me and I refuse to let them down. I will do my part to bring order to this chaos, if I can. Resist. Remove. Reclaim. Recover.

Note for future me: If they have to wait until 4:00 pm to announce my liberation, it may not be the kind of liberation I need.

Resist. Remove. Reclaim. Steady.

So many tornadoes on "liberation" day. I wonder if there's a correlation between tariffs and whether events? Unfortunately, we will never know because all of the scientists have been fired.

Thank you, Cory. Now, the rest of the dems need to follow suit and DO SOMETHING. Command attention. Provide Direction. Lead.

Hah! I was right! Goldberg just explained that Waltz had his phone number in his phone because they have talked before... Oops.

So, can we just, like, start a department of education? Run by the people for schools, districts, states, universities and systems who want to opt into sanity and best practices?

Well that was some 🦇💩 rambling.

I need some bsky guidance. I'm interested in becoming a soccer fan this year, but i don't know anything about the sport or which teams (clubs?) I should back. Who should I watch and why?

Word of the day: Jejune.

I need everyone to pay attention to this!! Coming from a rural area, I don't think farmers and landowners have any idea about the attack on them that is going to climax in the next two years.

This! Remind EVERYONE. First Amendment protections protect everyone who resides in our country.

Ummmmm uhoh.

I really think Mike Waltz was already leaking information to Goldberg, and that's how he accidentally added him. Also, this is my favorite internet thing today:

@houlahan.house.gov THANK YOU. That was SKILLFULLY done.

Hey VPJD, it is NOT very clear that @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social oversold the story. It's clear that this is a huge story. What is unclear is if there are MORE messages to be released.

So, since Mike Waltz denying that he had no idea who the journalist is, do we think he actually did have a prior connection to Jeff Goldberg... possibly as an unnamed, high-level source in the administration?

Go ahead, @ossoff.senate.gov !

This is outrageous, and the arrogance is especially irritating.

This.

I'm a millennial, and the reason I got interested in history at all, and JFK specifically, is all thanks to @stephenking.bsky.social

Why are pundits still talking about approval ratings. It doesn't matter if people like it or not, it's still wrong and unconstitutional. Period.

I am genuinely curious about running for office, but I have no idea where to start. Have any of you started this process? What should I know or be thinking about?

I need something other than politics. I thought this might be fun! I scored 9!

Ok, I was not, and still am not, completely behind Hakeem, but he earned some points from me today for the "It is an unacceptable, unconscionable and un-American spending bill, that's why House Democrats remain strongly opposed" line.

The shade! But it seems very on-brand for Chuck.
