Happiest outside rolling in the dirt. 2nd happiest belly up feeling the breeze.

"What did the Democrats get in return? The bailout beneficiaries, Sacks included, backed Donald Trump with their rescued money and their time. Sacks, along with many other beneficiaries of the SVB bailout, endorsed Trump.... In V.C. parlance, they “cucked” the Biden administration."

Happy Cold Front Weekend! (Yes, I am blissfully happy about this!)

It’d definitely be nice to have civil rights that weren’t directly tied to egg prices.

I do find it interesting how acceptable it is for men to be reckless with their reputations (& everyone's close to them). When victims come forward, they're scolded to consider a man's precious reputation. But men are never scolded for not conducting themselves to protect them.

Maine. Seriously. Andreaformaine.com. Sign up for one of my virtual town halls. I’m more than happy to prove why I’m the best person to take on Susan Collins.

Boosting this again because they are halfway there! Let's get them all the way there!

Jail presidents, not children.

These folks had to flee Texas and start a new life overseas. Let's help make this wonderful day even more joyous!

it sounds like the good guys have the numbers on this one but, dude, Alito is so far gone. soooo far gone. brain fully melted, leaking out onto the dais, forming a puddle of racist Republican goo

I wrote about the speaker of the Texas House asking lawmakers to study annexing several counties in New Mexico along the state border. In doing so, he's throwing a bone to Texas secessionists and relitigating over 100 years of history: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

What's gonna be fun is making up crazy shit that happens in the new Harry Potter series and nobody can call me out without admitting to their most embarrassing shame that they actually watched it.

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

My speech is weird because I had to have an operation on my mouth last Friday, but I have to show you this incredible object made by Tim Kowalczyk (www.instagram.com/timsceramics). I commissioned it as an urn for Fergus’ ashes because he loved boxes SO much. 📦

So much drought, yet still so much spring allergies.

As a society, we love misogyny so much that we will sacrifice success, profitability, peace, scientific advancement, and literally everything else for it.

Is this Corpus Christi water crisis news gaining traction outside of Texas? It could be and I'm just not seeing it - surely it will go national for the potential impact on gas prices alone. @sky.skymarchini.net any wisdom to share on the impact of the crisis?

Ya know, you can call your senators and reps in the middle of the night and leave a voicemail.

I am so serious when I say that there is a direct line to be drawn between Evangelism having no meaningful concept of the future save death and American conservatives having zero awareness of or interest in the future consequences of their actions

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Last day to early vote in Texas (polls close at 7) and the line is loooonnng.

"...In 1969, UT Austin student Judy Smith began inviting people to her house to speak about the challenges facing women. She had no way of knowing the group was planting seeds that would lead to the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion."

No! Absolutely not! We can not be getting into the 90’s F by the end of next week!

I really want a crossover with two of my favorite thinkers - @add-hawk.bsky.social and @tressiemcphd.bsky.social. With Prof Nguyen's new book The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else’s Game I just feel like this potential crossover conversation would fire my brain on all cylinders.

The Washington Post dies in broad daylight.

omg the U.S. is going to get freemium ad-supported healthcare before it gets taxpayer-funded universal healthcare

Last year, I was constantly worried about my TN work visa being revoked. I could also be rejected by a CBP officer any time I re-entered the US, so my immigration lawyer advised no travel. After I was laid off, I had only 60 days to find a new job or I had to physically leave the US by December 31.

Weekend goal is to read all the things and close an ungodly number of tabs.

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:

If the US can abolish USAID, we can sure as shit abolish ICE.

So this got me to dig a ways into my old ticket jar and into my old brain. Kinda bummed you don't get physical tickets much anymore. More than 5 concerts you've seen with women lead singers Etta James B-52’s Stevie Nicks KT Tunstall Rosie Flores New Bohemians Sara Hickman Heart

Volunteered at a multiple org meet centered on reproductive justice the other night. I'm an old, they were almost all significantly younger. I always find myself awestruck at their evolution in thought, sophistication, passion, clarity, and deep understanding of the interconnectedness of struggles.

Rare to see discusson of the point @jamellebouie.net makes here. "Most coverage of Trump treats him as president in a functional way, even if he doesn’t perform the civic duties of the office." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/o... Rather than designing coverage for a cateory of one — the mad king...1/

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.
