Just another day in Trump’s America. Guess he really does love the uneducated. www.nea.org/nea-today/al...

This is the Democratic “behavior” that Trump says is punishable by death, just in case you haven’t seen it yet.

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

My #SuperlativeCannedGoo tweet from the old place is making rounds again. Support co-op cranberry growers!

These rock forms from Northern Norway always draw me in. The soft curves feel almost like a quiet pulse in the landscape..

Not sure what’s happened to Glenn Close lately, but if she’s not getting top billing for something, she should at least be involved in a show where the lead has talent. She could take a lesson from Meryl Streep.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and I’d like to share this article on T1D Strong. Thank you to Ginger and Julie for the opportunity to share my journey with #T1D. www.type1strong.org/blog-post/li...

Just sharing some facts about whether undocumented immigrants can receive SNAP benefits (tl;dr: NO) for folks who insist that it’s totally fine that SNAP is not being funded currently. forumtogether.org/wp-content/u...

Just had my mind completely blown by the pilot of #Pluribus and OF COURSE Vince Gilligan is the man behind it. Haven’t been this creeped out since—you guessed it—The X Files. What a show!

I’m sure I’ll never quite get the hang of photographing the moon—especially with just an iPhone—but this view was too good not to try and capture it.

Let's start this week with this beautiful quote "Every one of us has the potential to get a message out, or to collaborate together to help make the world better." — Misha Collins 💙 #KindnessInProgress#RandomActs #Mondaymotivation #KindnessMatters

Is ANYBODY in Washington paying attention to this shit? *thumps mic* HELLO? IS THIS THING ON?

As you know, SNAP runs out by November 1. Children and families will go hungry, of course, but it harms the agricultural sector too. Impeachment is critical for the future well being of us all: rural or urban, farmer or office worker. Reach out to your neighbors. Normalize impeachment.

We need to treat this like the emergency that it is. Congress could end this at any time. To paraphrase Rep. Al Green, we have the way. We just need the will. Call your representative today. Demand impeachment. Don't accept excuses or obfuscation. It's not complicated. (202) 224-3121

Worth remembering…

I’m really tired of the political theater. Both sides of the aisle are claiming that the other side is “inflicting maximum pain” to accomplish their goals. Neither side is doing the work that benefits the American people. This has to stop.

SCOOP --> Major new Bidenworld autopsy just dropped: 45 former Biden officials candidly assess their mistakes and failings in new Roosevelt Institute report. They lay out the beginnings of a Project 2029 agenda to reverse authoritarian tide. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2023...

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Really hoping the "estimates" for 2026 Illinois health care premiums are massively inflated for whatever reason. My estimate for next year's premiums--with no changes to my family or income--was SEVEN TIMES HIGHER than what I'm paying now.

Sundays = self-care 🌿 Back in July, many of you shared that journaling is your go-to! 🖋️✨ It’s a simple act that helps you slow down, reflect, and reconnect. How has journaling helped you lately? 💛👇 #SelfCare #KindnessInProgress #RAKindness #MindfulMoments

I’ve already seen financial planners bemoaning the work that will have to be done to properly assess this tax, and I am unsympathetic. If you are wealthy enough to be affected by this tax, you should have to do a little work. I love this idea. prospect.org/2025/10/23/u...

My thoughts on leadership.

Tell me again why we marched yesterday. We cannot let this continue. Also, “50%” have “almost” used that? Boy, he really does love the uneducated.

Today’s No Kings protest could be the largest single-day protest in U.S. history. People have power.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

The GOP called protestors "terrorists" and "Marxists" and that didn't stop retired moderates in small towns from coming out today dressed in frog costumes because they're tired of this obvious bullshit. Two million more than in June. Seven million total. The GOP should be very worried.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

Great crowd in Urbana today! #NoKings

All time classic

Reminder: these “kids” were between the ages of 18 and 40 as per the rules of membership in this group. Entire adults who should be treated as such and not dismissed as “kids” or worse, “boys will be boys”.

So we don’t have a functioning government right now, but a racist podcaster gets a meaningless award after his death. Okay.

More standing up against this ridiculousness! Feels like the tide is turning.

Kudos PDX!

Weird to say, but I think TRON: ARES is my favorite of the three? Definitely watch in IMAX if you can.

Might not be the first time somebody has said it, but I think it carries more gravitas coming from @govpritzker.illinois.gov.

I have two observations after watching the video: the screen wasn’t frozen, so that wasn’t the technical issue (he was seen blinking, for goodness’ sake); and he was clearly reading a teleprompter—this gives a lot of weight to conjecture that he realized too late what he’d just said.

Watching THE KING’S MAN in these trying times definitely made me feel things. Couldn’t the Kingsman organization be a real thing?

April, an RA supporter, worked hard for a whole year with other volunteers to complete an #ActOfKindness for memory care residents. They crocheted more than 72 blankets, which was their goal! Want to #SpreadKindness yourself? Check out our acts page! buff.ly/7BJFdB0

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is one of the few rollercoasters I will always ride—and not just because I love Aerosmith. A little Muppet chaos may be just what this coaster needs!

Today I read the term “working retirement” written with zero irony, presented as a Real Thing. What in the dystopia?

An indy bookseller speaks! Bookshop.org is AMAZING and frankly, without it, a lot of us would have struggled even more during lockdown. WAYYY better than Hive (if you’re picking the book up from a bookshop, why aren’t you ordering it directly from them in the first place??)

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

“The remarks by Hegseth, a former Fox News personality, and Trump, a former reality television star, had a made-for-TV element to them after top U.S. military officials were summoned on short notice last week to the impromptu event.”

There’s nothing “new” here, but the idea is powerful. Intention can reshape the algorithm, for the better. youtu.be/u6oLQqTSXH8?...

Such a cool idea: make art that only appears when it’s raining. ☔️💙

I’m not on the old bird app anymore, but this is wild. Never thought of this as a method for sniffing out bots.
