Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison

Morning Cabeese

I’ve been a little busy the last few days since I’ve returned from visiting family on the East Coast. Tomorrow is my first day back at the market. #Woodworking #WoodenToys #Yoyos #Tops #Gyroscopes #PikePlaceMarket #Seattle

Who did this?

How it started // how it's going

The crazy thing about firing all of these federal employees is that they tend to be underpaid, super hardworking, in it for the right reasons, idealistic people who could’ve worked in industry or pharma and made way more money but they truly believed in the mission and the good they were doing.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

Tonight I wrapped my arms around my 9yo & we watched @booker.senate.gov break Strom Thurmond's record. I told her what Thurmond's filibuster was against. We talked a bit about why Sen. Booker was protesting. When he passed 24h18m she kissed my cheek & I felt hope. For her. For us. Thank you Senator

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Thank you @bou.org.uk for nominating me for the award lecture and to a great audience, who had my heart racing for the whole talk! Now time to relax and enjoy talks to come on Frontiers in #ornithology @ #BOU2025. Special shout out to @natbzielonka.bsky.social for the thread below

Leavitt is straight up lying. She says “it’s not true” that just a tattoo & a clothing brand can get you sent to El Salvador. But here is the document filed in court by Homeland Security. It clearly states that a tattoo (4pts) & dress (4pts) adds up to 8pts needed to be declared a TDA “terrorist”.

Trans people have a right to live full and fulfilled lives without having to constantly defend their right to exist. Trans rights are human rights. #TransgenderDayofVisibility

The University of Michigan had absolutely no reason to cave in advance the way it did, and these other institutions in the same state are demonstrating what can happen when you lead with integrity and moral clarity.

I LOVE REGULATION. I LOVE THE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THAT A RESTAURANT IS SAFE TO EAT AND A PRODUCT WONT KILL ME. I WANT MORE REGULATION. I DONT WANT CORPORATIONS TO BREATHE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT PERMISSION.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

I think it's a miracle that AOC is never like "I'm fucking TIRED, you numbskulls do something for once". Such restraint. God bless her.

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

I know it bothers you as much as it does me that journalism as an institution can’t process that what it’s seeing on a daily basis is evil people doing evil sh*t Not incompetence, not naivete, not negligence, not mispeaking, not mixups, not miscommunications: straight-up evil people doing evil sh*t

HOW IT HAPPENED: James Andrew Malone, the mayor of a town of 5,000, ran on education, abortion rights, and opposing Elon Musk—in a district that had *never* voted Democratic. Until tonight. Our complete write-through of his astonishing special election win in Lancaster County →

💯 — not to mention the guy who chose them all

This should’ve been put into place after his first term.

Schumer voted to confirm Rubio. They worked together for over a decade, he must have known the kinds of person Rubio is. Yes, these people aren’t up to the job. But the people who endorsed their appointment carry a solid share of the blame

In case you missed it: the Pentagon--that's Hegseth--got warned about using Signal a week ago.

New paper on breeding site fidelity in pectoral sandpipers out in @asab.org! The pectoral sandpiper is a highly nomadic polygynous shorebird, but a very small proportion of individuals is nevertheless faithful to their breeding site between years 1/6 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I made a meme, I'm sorry

Our official statement from Albert Sellars LLP on President Trump's recent executive order.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

More than 900 people gathered Saturday morning in Lexington for what was billed as a People’s Town Hall. Speakers addressed an empty chair on stage next to a sign that said “Reserved for Congressman Andy Barr.” @jamielucke.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2025/03/22/m...

Americans are going hungry under Trump. Food banks across the country — already strained by deep cuts to locally grown food programs — the U.S. Department of Agriculture is canceling $500 million in expected food deliveries, further disrupting aid as demand continues to grow.

The tool cabinet makes me happy even when I’m not using it. (Sorry, I know I post this a lot

It’s annoying in #Woodworking too

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

never liked Gavin Newsom, but he played his hand all wrong. he could have leaned into being lib Darth Vader and ran on a platform of revenge and really gotten some excitement behind him but instead he's choosing to simply be a milquetoast Dem who happens to be evil in his spare time

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Apparently it’s time to sort canceling my Citibank cards

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Just because someone is sorry they voted for Trump doesn’t mean they’re suddenly not an ignorant bigot

#uspolitics #ukpolitics - a picture is definitely worth an infinite number of words as Trump turns to Judas over Ukraine

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Excellent thread. We were just discussing measles in my ID Epi class and hit many of these points. Plus, hospitalizations for measles were high (& are, even in modern outbreaks)-- that's a lot of suffering that can be avoided with a vaccine. Read more ⬇️.
