@ianlivingston.bsky.social any thoughts?

Newsom supporters are very persuasive.

Earnest posting: I’m about to eat my feelings but first, much love to my fellow Bills fans out there. It hurts but that’s because we love the team so much. And in the long run, love always wins. Do good, be good, god bless, go Bills ❤️

It’s great that the Sabres are doing well and also it’s fun to see Sabres fans here because posting with hockey people was how I got into Twitter.

This is how we win.

Fellow Silver Spring neighbors and I are organizing an #ICEOutforGood memorial & vigil this Monday, Jan. 12 at 5PM in Gene Lynch Urban Park. Please bring new, clean stuffed animals to donate, as well as notes, signs, or flowers. If your org is interested in getting involved, please reach out!

It’s actually worse that you let ICE use Flock data even though you don’t have a contract with them. You understand how that’s worse right?

🗓️ @councilofdc.bsky.social will be hosting Performance Oversight Hearings soon — and you 🫵 should testify! These hearings are an important opportunity to make our voices heard about the performance of our government programs and agencies last year 🗣️

We stand in solidarity with every member of our community who has loved ones and deep ties to Venezuela. We condemn the reported U.S. military strike and use of force to dictate Venezuela’s future.

Some friends of ours you should consider donating to before the end of the year 👉🏽 1. East of the River Mutual Aid: MSMA wouldn’t exist with eorma, one of our anchor orgs. Support their amazing work here: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Random PSA: if you know someone who is expecting, encourage them to see if their kid is eligible for free books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. A colleague didn’t know about it and was excited to sign up for her kiddos when I told her.

Apologies for spreading this trash but if you want to report an account that is seemingly dedicated to Islamophobia, here’s one for you.

An EXTREME COLD ALERT is in effect, don’t let the cold catch you off guard. Exposed skin can freeze quickly, so cover up as much as you can. Layer up with a coat, scarf, hat, and gloves to stay warm and healthy. Visit COLD.DC.GOV for shelter options.

Stages of holiday shopping 1. Plenty of time 2. Gifts for myself 3. Oh no

FACT

DC ALERT: No clue why, but more than a dozen National Guard are lined up on U Street in NW DC right now, west of 14th Street.

As the first extreme cold alert goes into effect at 8 pm, please take care of yourself and your neighbors. If you see someone in need of shelter, call the Shelter Hotline to request free, accessible transportation to a DC shelter: 202-399-7093.

Looking forward to having a mayor who will fight for DC

“Wicked: For Good” will get all the attention re: movies this week but I really liked “Rental Family.” The cinematography and score were beautiful, the acting was good and Brendan Fraser is a gem. Some movies make you think. This one made me feel.

Would enjoy hearing the pope say “turn the other cheek, you dumb bitch”

The House bill being voted on today to require cash bail in DC is insane. DC hasn’t had cash bail since 1992, and crime has plummeted since. Our current system is near identical to federal law. People should be held pretrial if they pose a safety risk — not because they are too poor to pay bail.

This is the most infuriating ProPublica story I’ve read recently. This woman had multiple seizures, a serious blood clot, severe hypertension (her BP was 174/116 at one point??), a previous stillbirth due to preeclampsia and she was still forced to continue her pregnancy until it killed her.

If I catch a ban for this, please remember me fondly bsky.app/profile/katz...

Has anyone written about Netflix missing out on KPop Demon Hunters merch opportunities? My kid likes dolls so I got excited when I saw I could pre-order KDH dolls from the Netflix shop. Then I noticed the dolls are $150 for all 3 + they won’t ship until Oct 2026 www.netflix.shop/products/kpo...

Hey y'all, Link says what up and wanted to pass along a few resources in DC and Tampa, FL where you can donate funds or your time, a thread. First is Potter's House:

It’s not unusual to have people in our lives who were not literally family but they were at least ad present in the backgrounds of our lives as our actual families. My aunt’s neighbor came to our family parties and told the kids about how the church bells rang the day they were born.
