This is pure voter interference & intimidation. Full stop. Folks in blue states: demand action from your governor & AG now. Red states: same, but you need to have a plan NOW for how to address this. If you aren't "political" or aren't an "activist" you need to figure out how you will be. #mapoli

Boston Fire wants every car off NEWBURY ST between DARTMOUTH n EXETER, anything parked over a manhole. Tow trucks are rolling. No pedestrians allowed from COMM AVE through NEWBURY–EXETER–DARTMOUTH blocks. Everyone STAY AWAY. #621pm #ActiveScene

This nails my frustration with the Dems, and why people like Mayor Mamdani are so appealing. I am weary of seeing posts telling me I "deserve better". I need to see how we GET better.

Worked for a municipality & had to take a fairly robust ethics training. I missed a ? on the test that asked if I could "accept Sox playoff tickets valued at less than $50". Apparently I was supposed to know that they couldn't possibly be that cheap, b/c you can't accept anything over 50 bucks.

North Carolina officials are currently considering a series of proposed rules aimed at undermining the public’s confidence in elections. One of those rules: flagging certain voters as “presumptive noncitizens” in an attempt to potentially remove them from the rolls.

Slap it on a postcard and mail it to every red or purple house in the country.

I need a word (I assume it'll be German) for the anger that you feel when: you held on to a large container (to reuse) for some time; threw it away because it was taking up space, and then nearly immediately had a need for said container. Like there HAS to be a word for that, right?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAH (deep wheezing breath) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I cosign this so fast the damn pen is on fire. I'm certainly not saying that UBI and fully subsidized housing would fix all our mental health woes, but let me tell you right now, it would make it so much more likely that people could have a chance to thrive.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov makes me embarrassed to be an American. Yeah I know. The Republicans are terrible and they're driving this bus. But Chuckles has been given a map to the subway, walking routes, and an Uber to get there another way and he won't get off the bus. Fuck this guy.

Here's the thing; beyond the obvious schadenfreude of it all, I don't want to be on the road with this woman because she obviously can't read signs.🛑🚸⛔

I feel like I'm doing a lot more crying while looking at social media than I oughta be.

Hey @edmarkey.bsky.social your voicemails are full in Boston and DC. We're calling - make sure you hear us.

Sometimes I repost things because I think I might need to find them later. Today is a good day to call your senators and demand that they withhold all funding for DHS. You know, for reasons.

Well done @colbertlateshow.bsky.social A touching tribute while speaking truth to power. I was moved to tears. 🚫🧊🚫🧊🚫🧊🚫🧊🚫🧊🚫🧊🚫🧊

I'm calling this a foot and a half.

This is how you do it.

This is the energy I need to see from my own rep @whipkclark.bsky.social & from @massgovernor.bsky.social You don't reform a death squad, & you don't train the murderer out of a sociopath. Body cams aren't going to fix this. Training isn't going to fix this. Trials...Trials and prison will fix this.

For the love of democracy and all that is holy we must hold these people accountable.

You can call all of these "Democrats" who killed another person today when they voted to fund ICE this week. 202 225 3335 Tom Suozzi (NY) 1640 Henry Cuellar (TX) 3101 Don Davis (NC) 5516 Laura Gillen (NY) 6306 Jared Golden (ME) 2531 Vicente Gonzalez (TX) 3536 Marie Glusenkamp Perez (WA)

Suddenly, wet paws! The cat has discovered the Faucet is dripping

Please, I am begging you, send this to your "I don't do politics" friends. Send this to your "I think he had some good ideas" low effort voters. Send this to your "He said he was going to arrest criminals" auto body guy. They. Are. Kidnapping. Children. #AbolishICE

I want my money funding healthcare I'm not funding death squads I want my money funding research I'm not funding death squads I want my money funding housing I'm not funding death squads I want my money funding schools I'm not funding death squads #AbolishICE

YES THANK YOU. After seeing appalling capitulation from my alma mater, I am thrilled to see the Daily Tarheel taking a stand. It's a #GDTBATH. Nuremberg to START. Mussolini to finish.

This is exactly what we should all be worrying about. I know you're not a Nazi, but are you willing to push back?

And don't quote him today (or ever) without having one action step to do. Make a call, engage in mutual aid, print a flyer, give some money. But for the love of god DO SOMETHING.

This is how you govern. This is how you make policy priorities. Housing is a much better investment than murdering mothers. Americans need affordable housing, not murderous death squads. The 30 seconds spots write themselves. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @whipkclark.bsky.social

Customer service monitoring getting real cutthroat out here.

The Tar Heels would be ahead if we weren't absolutely dogshit at the line. Can you practice shooting free throws until you puke? Let's find out. #cbb

This is the MODERATE acceptable position.

They want you to die. They want the people you love to die. It's not more complicated than that. The cruelty and chaos are a feature, not a bug. If you know people who voted for this, hold them accountable. They can vocally reform, or they can be killers. Their choice.

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship. We good with that, America? I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.

I absolutely firmly believe that David Bowie was holding the universe together. It's inconceivable to me that it's been 10 years.

No one's life should be at risk for simply existing in their communities or exercising their rights. Learn these. Remember them. Share them with your neighbors. I will continue to use every tool my office has to protect our immigrant community and ensure our residents know their rights.

Celebrate Bowie's birthday by finding your own act of resistance today.

Free today. We're all getting secondary trauma right now. Here are some tools from journalists and therapists that will help: www.patreon.com/posts/digita...

The Hague, for a start. I'll vote for anyone - Democrat, Republican, Green Party, Dem Socialist, Whig, Tory, Labour... IDGAF the letter after their name so long as they hold these people accountable and put them in jail. May there be a line at Leavenworth.

Watched "How to Save a Milestone" last night & cannot say enough about the importance of projects like this, & the preservation of our cultural history. Charlotte paves over everything interesting - The Milestone is more than a dive, it's a marker for what we value. Support the arts! #TheMilestone

The next time somebody asks you what white privilege looks like, it's this. It's 100% this.

Love it when the @nba.com account does accidentally ironic content.

The Onion as satirical Cassandra over here.

Finally got around to taking the Christmas portraits.

You know what’s weak & stupid? Dragging us into another costly endless war that puts our troops & innocent civilians in harm’s way. Strong leaders have moral clarity & use power responsibly. Weak men like Trump make other peoples’ kids fight in their unnecessary, illegal wars.

This, @nytimes.com is how you write a headline. @npr.org perhaps take notes?

Call your reps. Do it now. I know it seems futile and it's a Saturday and you're probably going to get voicemail, but it's a small thing that you can absolutely do right now before lunch. Make your calls.

I was really hoping to make it more than a few days into this year before I found out we were blowing up other countries for no goddamn reason. I'm just so exhausted by the fact that no one seems to stop this.

If you have parents, grandparents or friends that still watch CBS, you should ask them to stop, and ask them to call their local affiliate and tell them that they've stopped. "We won't support state media" works, as does "We only support independent and honest media outlets". Starve them of oxygen.
