Priya did well with her second radiation treatment, but each time I've been there (it's an ER and specialist vet) I've seen sobbing people in the parking lot. Please hug your pets and remember that life is short, how you spend your time (here & IRL) matters. #KindnessMatters

Sometimes you have to get up and just choose hope.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Good brief thread.

I worked late to clip a couple of horses. It's been very hot and they have all grown heavy coats which make it hard for them to regulate their temp. But it might have been worth it for this photo of Steppen!!

I just used the @5calls.org app to call my reps and encourage them not to cave and hand the GOP a blank check in exchange for ending the govt. shut down. They give you a script and phone numbers for local offices. It's easy to do and worthwhile!

Advice please: If you don't bring your service dog to the (2nd/3) job interview, when do you disclose that he exists? (My reason for not bringing: Jasper is SDIT due to he's in that 2 year old regression period and we don't have CGC-U yet, also he hates the subway, so he's gonna hang with my mom)

These guys are constantly saying that Dems need to abandon identity politics and run on kitchen-table issues. They get the most kitchen table-ass candidate imaginable, spend months saying he's secretly radical, then as soon as he wins they say he's secretly moderate.

Maybe send this one to the guy in charge.

Sunset with horse. 🥰

Hmmm, we'll see where it ends up.

🚨🚨 INFANT FORMULA RECALL 🚨🚨 Please share widely 👇

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

This is a perfect time to donate to your local food bank if you are able.

Kaba is quoted in Kelly Hayes's powerful essay, the latter writes: "I see you, Chicago. I see you brave and beautiful in your cars, tailing ICE vehicles. I see you charging out of your homes before you’ve brushed your teeth to blow your whistles, shout down ICE agents, and hold onto your neighbors."

Touching and vital essay by Kelly Hayes. @organizingmythoughts.org

There are always little joys to be found, let us savor them. #alttext

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Talarico understands exactly how to respond to bullies. Rule #1 - run against them and not on the people they demand we shame, shun and revile.

Lots of things are terrible but @weratedogs.com and @15outof10foundation.com make the world better. Thanks to everyone who helped save these dogs!

Don't forget! 🥰

Good longer read on Justice Jackson’s response to a very tricky situation tonight from @stevevladeck.bsky.social: www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

I’d like a president who doesn’t have to be forced to feed hungry kids. That feels like the lowest bar. And we are not meeting it.

He's a joke but he still has power to do exponential harm to our country. 🎁

Since we’re talking about affordability, a reminder that Trump’s culture war based economic policies are making everything more expensive for no discernable benefit to anyone but him www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

We all need more threads about good people doing good stuff to make their communities a little bit better. We take care of us. 💚

repost for the day crowd: please share and help if you can, I don't know how long I'll be on bed rest #MutualAid #UglyDogs

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

Today @TheNewYorker released our short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” online. It traces the ongoing effects of the sudden shutdown of US foreign aid through the story of one mother in Kenya as she seeks to save her daughter from sickness and starvation. 🎥 1/ www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

What is going on in this country is absolutely horrendous.

If ICE agents come onto my campus, or the campus of K-12 schools, I want the school to use active shooter protocols: lock them out, hide the kids and staff, and call the police to inform them of armed gunmen on campus.

🚨 🚨 Two days after an election where two women won historic Governor races, and one day after @emilyslist endorsement, a new poll shows @amyactonoh LEADING @VivekGRamaswamy in Ohio. 46-45. For a lot of reasons: 1/

Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis suggests outlines of an emerging Dem coalition organized around anti-Trump *and* affordability politics. This is doing serious damage to the MAGA coalition. Its success this week undermines the idea of a big Trump 2024 realignment. 7/ newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

This was updated today, and i just donated to give it a kickstart. We are so close to the goal. Who will push it over the finish line? #uglydogs

We promise our donkeys will never take credit for any election results and they can't send emails because they forgot the password to their shared AOL account. 👍

I'm so, so sorry, but this needs out. The problem’s mostly gravity, she said to me, You’re stacking ladders like it’s modern art, you see. You say you’ll “just grab one more board”, well, bless you, please, There must be fifty ways to wreck your body.

It's fascinating how straight out lying is acceptable to them all.

Katyal is merciless. He is embarrassing Alito’s fanciful hypos and Alito is getting mad. But Katyal is unfazed and instead going in for the kill. Wow. Well done.

Yes, do something!!

They say this crap to scare you, I hope instead it makes you mad and ready to fight!

obviously last night's wins weren't good for everyone -- check in on your billionaires today, they're struggling

California passes proposition 50, which will mean multiple anti-LGBTQ+ Republican congress people will likely lose their seat. A continual bloodbath for anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans tonight.

Pains me to say it but I think this is true. Some of my colleagues in the media who’ve stayed on X don’t even realize how badly its noxious algorithm is skewing their perception of politics and reality. Also, that place seems designed to make you miserable unless you’re a Nazi. It’s just wretched.

Another often overlooked but important election. Loudoun County Public Schools has been ground zero for targeting by the Trump administration over trans students, and chose to protect their students. Pro-trans candidates Chandler and Svenson are winning, and anti-trans Munoz-Melendez is losing.
