Voter fraud found in Georgia. Not by Democrats. Not by immigrants. By Elon Musk's America PAC sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications. Every accusation is a confession.

#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WinterSurvivors - birds that remain throughout the winter. Here's a nuthatch taking advantage of a well-stocked bird table. #birds #photography

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

A lot of things are horrifying right now, so I offer these blooms from our crabapple tree. #bloomscrolling

Female northern cardinals have the most beautiful subtle beauty. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

For those keeping score at home:

I just saw a video of people outside a hotel where 🐧 is singing “it’s not to late to change your mind, show us your courage.” And it’s really hard not to start ugly crying after that. I am once again saying Minnesota has stolen my whole heart.

I finished a year-long knitting project this week! #MaskUp

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

exactly. this is not difficult. as.ft.com/r/58ed1b23-d...

I will keep saying that the MAGA are as much as a problem as Trump. It’s a movement unpicking science (antivaxxer/pro-infectionist) and Christian nationalism. You can read more about this here www.christiansagainstchristiannationalism.org/statement

Still masking, every other person at the office was sick last week. #MaskUp

Why am I suddenly filled with glee after reading this?

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

Taekwondoin Tina Sugandh and her black belt kids, who always compete in their masks, warn about #LongCOVID— why they support #MaskTogetherAmerica and @publichealthaction.bsky.social. “This is for all that say you can't compete to your fullest potential at athletic events with a mask on.”

Wearing a mask in the cold to shovel snow keeps my face and my inhaled air warmer. #MaskUp

The era is aptly defined by this, up against “boo hoo” and “fucking bitch”

I'm not going to ask if you're doomscrolling. Everything is hard right now. But you still need to eat some food, drink a glass of water, as well as time to rest and recover. Try not to stay up too late tonight. Sleep deprivation will make everything you need to do harder, including helping others.

Weekly virtual hang for those still taking the pandemic seriously!

Reminding you that air filtering masks and face coverings are not the same thing. #MaskUp

My God. On or about 1/20/26, Trump signed an Executive Order to bring back insane asylums. On 1/21/26, Katie Miller (wife of Stephen Miller) wrote that “They should be insane asylums, not shelters” in response to a Pirate Wires article criticizing a shelter for trans & gender confused people. 1/

As someone who spent the last 15 years working with aging brains & dementia, I can't stop thinking about this. It is gerontocracy: leaders who are substantially older than most of the adult population. When did we accept this? The new generations can't show up because the old generations never left.

The horrors persist and I persist #masking #MaskUp #VirusesAreAirborne staying warm in some if my favorite knit projects today.

#MaskUp for clean air in 2026.

Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

COVID pandemic enters 7th year with no end in sight. "It's strange to think that the COVID-19 pandemic, which sent the world into lockdown 7 years ago never ended. It continues to kill and cripple us, to this day. We simply stopped talking about it." boingboing.net/2026/01/16/c...

"We've lost you to a cult" Happy to be a member of the clean air cult. I'm also a member of the seat belt cult, hard hat cult, parachute cult and pasteurizing raw milk cult ✋🏼

BREAKING: Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife has made a “transformational” donation to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. This large gift comes just months after the Trump administration shut down counseling services for queer youth. My latest for @wired.com:

They’re trying to cover up a murder that is playing on a loop on every phone.

It would be really cool if I could sleep instead of being haunted by all the shit we are doing to other countries and ourselves rn

Working while aware of current events is soul destroying. #MaskUp #😷
