To everyone who is a special kind of pissed right now (you know who you are) - keep exercising your voice like the muscle it is. If we're not used to using it, it's going to feel awkward and weak...unless we keep that muscle moving.

Please, everyone, make your voice heard!

Anyone know where Lawrence O'Donnell is this week? My Grandma is starting to become seriously concerned about his absence. So, asking for a Grandma.

Minneapolis, let's show up tomorrow...we can still be "MN Nice" while protesting the need for militarization of our neighborhoods.

Not sure yet about attending the No Kings event this weekend? Check this out:

Sometimes I wish there really was a bingo card. I like playing bingo. But I feel like they're playing "cover all" and didn't tell the rest of us.

I wrote a thing, today. About writing. Writers of Bluesky, let me know if you're feelin' the feels I'm spilling:

My day has been made. @maddow.msnbc.com threw away a letter from Donald Trump that he sent her about windmills because she didn't feel it was important enough to keep. Amen, sister.

I just can't. My Minnesota heart is breaking and the tears are flowing. I have so many words that they've turned into a jumble of nonsensical utterings of "AHHHH" in my brain. Words will come tomorrow. Tonight is for the feelings.

Who would have thought that Snoop Dogg would turn out to be a rich Republican white guy?

I was today years old when I learned that TSA doesn't consider watermelon a liquid. Which is pretty solid, IMHO.

Currently trending are both Tim Walz and Mike Lindell. The best and the worst of MN.

The world is low key falling apart but at least it was a sh*tty day for Trump lawyers.

It's migraine infusion day today. Does this count as self-care? Asking for a friend.

I want a president who is tougher on Putin than he is on Harvard.

Friendly reminder to support your local independent bookstore this weekend! A slightly less friendly reminder to just not buy books from Am*zon at all.

If anyone thinks this is "okay" in any way, shape, or form ... I'm going to need you to check yourself.

Nothing upsets me quite like when recordings on my Hulu DVR reach their 9-month mark and my carefully curated @tcmtv.bsky.social library has to be rebuilt.

I'm watching Colin Firth in Pride & Prejudice with my Grandma, knitting, and planning to treat myself to a vegan burger for dinner. I mean, the world is on fire. But we gotta enjoy the small moments of normality.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

For all the "non-woke" folks: DEl isn't politics. It's making sure everyone can access a restroom, take parental leave, hear the show, or just board a plane with dignity. It's called being human. 💜

The official Democratic Congressional Campaign twitter account isn't mincing words

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

Current mood.

So proud of Senator Booker. Damn straight let's cause some good trouble. This is *doing* something.

It occurred to me that this simple sentiment was exactly what we need to be bashed over the head with in 2025. Read my latest at @elephantjournal.bsky.social 🙏

For the love of all that is holy can any "politician" just act normal?!

Something to think about

I looked up and verified my measles vaccination. I did not have that anxiety check on my 2025 bingo card but the more I think about it, I really should have seen it coming.

At the end of the day I'm too exhausted by *waves around wildly* all of this to do much more than sit and think about *waves around wildly* all of this.

My god. This didn't age well. At all.

me in 2005: Jurassic Park is unrealistic because it's a movie about a dinosaur theme park me in 2025: Jurassic Park is unrealistic because the rich CEO of the dinosaur park is not immediately handed complete control of the US National Park Service

This didn't age well.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled that DOGE is subject to government transparency laws, allowing the public to access government records—a legal defeat for the White House, which had designated DOGE as an office exempt from open records laws.

Bernie Sanders: “Despair is not an option. Giving up is not acceptable. The stakes are simply too high.''

Make Love, not excuses for Hate, Fascism & Greed

On International Women’s Day we honor the past, present, and future contributions of women who make our state stronger.

I just heard someone refer to the tariffs as "Schrodinger's tariffs." Oh my god. It's so right and so wrong.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Talked to hundreds of high schoolers today about being an author. Biggest number of questions? Who is banning books and why? The kids. are wanting. to know.

Other than Al Green getting tossed, very boring show. Low energy. Self-effusive. Slurry. Vindictive. 0/10 would not watch again.

Trump whining that Democrats wouldn't applaud him even if he cured a disease and then a second later bragging about withdrawing from the World Health Organization

Listen to scientists and doctors and teachers and working folks, not social media jerks or fascists or oligarchs or techbros.

For the love of all that’s good, please don’t buy my books on Amazon.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.
