Good job, Virginia. I’m going to keep saying it - states doing this is a sign of hope. CA and VA redistricting BY VOTE and Indiana not redistricting (I’ll be laughing about that forever) is just a great little spark we need to keep going. (Also if you’re in Indiana go vote early in our primaries!)

Lemme get this straight A civil rights group is being criminally charged for paying informants to get info about the KKK & neo-Nazis that was then shared with law enforcement? That's basically what the FBI does! Should they prosecute themselves? youtu.be/25dlBorkAy4?...

Lots of people (including women in the administration apparently) are learning the phrase “glass cliff” for the first time.

@whereismy240.bsky.social we could have bullet trains 😭

Guys, we’re only just done with Q1 of 2026 😭

A statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein styled like Jack and Rose from Titanic appeared on the National Mall today, showing the two figures standing on a ship’s bow with their arms outstretched in the film’s famous “King of the World” pose.

The seasonal depression blending with the autocracy depression blending with the burnout of mothering in America is fully kicking my ass. (Seeing DHS Barbie get removed did help though.)

Masterful gambit, sir.

I need everyone to understand this; there is no mechanism for cancelling elections in the United States. Blue states are not going to do this, and red states like KY aren’t going to give up the chance to get rid of their dem governors. Midterms are already happening. Stop propagandizing yourself.

There are few things more terrifying than waking up to hear your child laughing in their sleep 🫣

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

"We are witnessing a White House cover-up of serious allegations against the President by a survivor. We demand AG Bondi come clean…and tell the American people if their President is under investigation for allegations of sexual assault,” said Ranking Member @robertgarcia.house.gov

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

📹 Eyes On ICE: Document and Record training Tonight @ 8 PM EST Details and RSVP 👇

This time of year is fun because my kids might not have school for weeks at a time due to a fun combination of illness and blizzards. 😅

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

I know it is wasting my breath addressing this, but no organization or group of people on the entire planet is even remotely competent enough to pull off a grand conspiracy of this type and scale. The CIA struggles to kill just one terrorist in the third world deniably under Title 50 authorities.

12 months of MAHA: Our last foodborne botulism outbreak hasn’t been resolved yet & now one of the only affordable sources of lean protein is a botulism risk, too; measles cases are exploding, even tuberculosis is on the rise. And they’re still trying to deregulate more. Maybe expertise did matter…

I’ve been up since 2a reading campaign finance law because cynicism and nihilism are the easy ways out and I just am so tired and so mad… and then I have to go chaperone 50 second graders at the aquarium like everything’s fine 😩 parenting in fascism is freaking hard.

Also - I need all the Gadsden Flag people to understand that you do not have the 2A if a group of secret police can murder you in the street for having a weapon in your holster. (We also need to reclaim that particular flag)

A nurse. A 37-year-old man who devoted his time to healing the sick and the injured, who came outside in the cold to protect his neighbors, gunned down in the street by bloodthirsty blackshirts

I sincerely hope the person in the pink coat was able to leave

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

State troopers in riot gear are protecting ICE agents who have long guns. People yelling at the state troopers, “turn around and arrest them! They just killed a Minnesotan!”

Every time there’s a natural disaster I see lots of people posting they think everyone in red states “deserves” what’s coming to them - including death. This is your reminder that no state is fully “red” or “blue” and that you’re a weirdo if you say this shit. Educate yourself.

People in Minneapolis don't like it when secret police come into their city to kill and brutalize them, people in rural areas think it's great. Somehow, this is a problem that Minneapolis is supposed to make amends for.

In Minneapolis

I did just sleep 15 hours so… thanks, girls! 😅

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

Minneapolis.

Made it 3 days into the new semester before the girls lovingly shared a virus with me. 😅😩

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

Learning today that the JD Vance couch story might have more truth to it than we thought

It can seem pollyannaish to imagine wildly positive futures at times like this, but that's when they're most powerful - a light to guide our way out of the dark. Fascism wins when we can't remember what a better world looks like. When it doesn't feel possible. Nurturing our dreams is resistance.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

No it didn't, that isn't true.

Setting goals for the new year is always fun because I get to see all the ones from last year I didn’t do 😂

The full Weiss memo is dogshit -who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT -who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison —who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

if you see someone break a strangers meta spy glasses in public, no you didn’t

Biden never slept through meetings but Jake Tapper wrote a whole book about how he was too old.
