"But war, organised war, is not a human instinct. It is a highly planned and co-operative form of theft."

"War is a habit... War is an emergency and consequently they reverted to their war habits." - Jeannette Rankin on voting no for WWI “You could say we did it out of habit.” - Donald Trump on starting WWIII If only we had listened to a woman.

War is not a video game to anyone except those who profit from it. #iranwar #democracy #uspolitics #americanpolitics

TBR! Also can we be friends @lydiamoland.bsky.social? This book is so cool!!!

Before the Oscars, I’m nominating myself for Best Supporting Scholar with my 267th #ScholarSunday thread of great public scholarly writing, podcasts, new & forthcoming books from the past week. Add more below, share widely, & the winner will be … all of us! 🗃️ blackwhiteandread.com/scholarsunda...

The only American king I will every recognize approves of Winning The Earthquake.

Jeannette Rankin understood that war is the enemy of democracy. I wrote a book about her life. Here's what she taught me about building lasting, international peace. #Womenshistorymonth #herstory #peace #womensleadership

It was such an honor to get to interview @lorissa.bsky.social at @politicsprose.bsky.social about her new book 📕 Winning the Earthquake about the first woman elected to Congress in 1916 Jeannette Rankin!

I was at @politicsprose.bsky.social with @representwomen.bsky.social's Cynthia Richie Terrell talking about my bio of Jeannette Rankin. Let me tell you something: We should have listened to Jeannette.

Wondering how to stop this war and every single future war before it starts? Read this.

AHAHAHAHAHHA! IT'S ME IT'S ME IT'S ME!!! THAT'S MY BOOK!!! I WROTE THAT!!!

Not really my lane but I will never understand men's obsession with sports ball.

It was such and HONOR to write for @au-wpi.bsky.social Gender on the Ballot. Please check out my post on Jeannette Rankin's Secret Weapon. Spoiler alert: It wasn't rizz - which she had in spades. It was a fair playing field that we can still all build, together.

#DC! Please join me, @betsyfischermartin.bsky.social + @lwvdc.bsky.social for an URGENT conversation about the legacy of Jeannette Rankin + women's leadership in American democracy. Women have always - and will always -make the difference.

Friends often ask if I watched the newest show. As extremely empathetic, it's hard for me to invest in new characters, so often the answer is no. And that is why I absolutely should not have started to watch the ANTM doc because I know all of those girls and all of them are me. But here we go.

#NYC Free brunch + me + women's history. Come on.

#NYC! Kick off #WOMENSHISTORYMONTH in style with @josiecox.bsky.social and I at MM LaFleur. We’ll be chatting about Winning The Earthquake, my new bio of Jeannette Rankin, the first woman in Congress, fearless enemy of oligarchs, and champion of We The People. Plus! Pastries and mimosas!

Not going to lie. I watch Nonnas last night and absolutely balled my eyes out.

Congressional Switch Board: 202 224 3121 Call your congress person NOW. The SAVE Act 2.0 is up for a vote in Congress and if passed through the Senate, will disenfranchise millions of women. #saveact #fascism #americandemocracy #19thamendment

Every Amazon package is a bullet in ICE’s guns. Every post on FaceBook is a wrecking ball leveled against democracy. Every show streamed on Paramount is brick shielding Epstein enabled child rapists. Find out how women can destroy the Trump Regime with the click of a mouse - today.

Make no mistake: MAGA is coming for our vote. Don’t let them. Get informed. Get together. Get loud. Register for tonight’s URGENT online gathering with RepresentWomen to find out how. #saveact #womeninpolitics #americandemocracy #fighttrump

Patriots.

That viral moment from Super Bowl LX (February 8, 2026) was indeed real. After a couple sent Bad Bunny an invitation to their wedding, the superstar "pulled a reverse Uno" and invited them to tie the knot live on stage during his halftime performance at Levi's Stadium.

Literally one of the most honest newspapers left in the United States of America.

They're not even trying to mask that they to strip us of our vote. The so called MEGA Bill - in Congress now - would disenfranchise millions of women. Hard pass. Join @representwomen.bsky.social for this critical workshop on what's in the "Show Me Your Papers Bill" + how to fight back.

🚨 NO TO THE SAVE ACT 🚨 Get informed with @representwomen.bsky.social + @ramirez.house.gov + @fernandez.house.gov Tue 2/10 at 7:30 PM EST

Kick of Women's History Month in style with @josiecox.bsky.social + me at MMLaFluer UWS. We'll be talking about Winning The Earthquake, my new bio of Jeannette Rankin, Amer's 1st woman in Congress and progressive trailblazer. There will be brunch! #NYCbookevents #NYC #womenshistorymonth

I am extremely proud of @AnaliliaForNJ. I am also extremely proud of the progressive movement for standing in solidarity with her. The momentum cannot fade, we must rally around candidates across the country to keep the momentum up.

I feel like....

What was meant to silence these ranchers brought them national attention, from rallies at the Colorado Capitol to a feature in Jordan Peele’s High Horse. Now they’re working with lawmakers to push for legislation and are thinking of running for office. capitalbnews.org/black-colora...

I tried to watch Moulin Rouge last night. That shit is crazy.

They don't care about the victims, they never did, and they're hoping you don't either.

Don't worry. Only 75 out of 100 emails I just sent have a typo in the subject.

Just like those the 1st, the heroes of the 2nd American Revolution will be dressed in business casual. Join @josiecox.bsky.social + me at MM LaFleur to talk about Jeannette Rankin's enduring vision of an expanded definition of We The People & pick up some Revolutionary garb while you're at it.

#NYC: #Politics, #books, #brunch. You and me and @josiecox.bsky.social See you there.

Don Lemon's arrest is the latest assault on Freedom of the Press by the current administration. But it the most dangerous, extreme, and illegal so far.

THE BOSS

There is so much early aughts style going on at this cafe that I am not sure what to do. Raver pants. Full denim. Poorly fitting calf length faux silk skirts with fringe leather jacket. White sneakers with black socks. Where. Am. I.

ICE needs more training. But hear me out.

I'll be at @politicsprose.bsky.social on the wharf with @representwomen.bsky.social ED Cynthia Richie Terrell womansplaining why women should be in charge of democracy & my new book, Winning The Earthquake. Join us! #DCevents #DCBooks #Democracy #womenleaders bit.ly/4sVsoFc

Oh hey. There's me with Jane Lynch at Godmothers Bookstore talking about my book, Winning The Earthquake, the biography of Jeannette Rankin, America's first woman in Congress and a progressive trailblazer. #janelynch #mustreadbooks #biography godmothers.com/item/MWp_c1q...

I have a great deal of respect for our Armed Forces and am deeply insulted that they are being put in the center of Trump's temper tantrum with apocalyptic implications.

Can’t make it to my conversation at Godmothers tonight with Jane Lynch? Tune in right here! We’ll be talking about my new biography of the trailblazing leader, Jeannette Rankin, and why her legacy matters now, more than ever.

It’s official! My Winning The Earthquake event at Godmother with the incomparable Jane Lynch is SOLD OUT. Stay tuned for the recoding! We’ll be talking about the urgent legacy of Jeannette Rankin and what she can teach us about our own fight to preserve our precious democracy. #americandemocracy

The calvary has arrived and it's led by the daughter of immigrants. To the surprise of *no one*

#MoniqueLimón just became California Senate President pro Tem as the first #Latina & the first #mother ever to hold the role. That’s not symbolism. @lorissa.bsky.social substack.com/@lorissarine...

I'm caught up with my emails. No. I'm not lying.

New York, I love you and you are definitely and you're bringing fascism down.

It's giving "Let them eat cake" vibes.

I AM ON ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. Dream come true. Full stop.
