We need a new, strong Senate Minority Leader. My choice👇

Watched “Come See Me in the Good Light” again. First with my phenomenal life and poetry mentor, Tess Gallagher. And now with my husband on our 19th anniversary. Wrecked X 2. Andrea Gibson….imprinted on my heart and soul forever. ♥️♥️♥️

If I had the opportunity, says Judge Michael Luttig; "I would tell the Chief Justice that he is presiding over the end of the rule of law in America. That's what he is doing." For anyone concerned with what remains of US democracy, this is a must listen podcast.

There’s a special place in hell for anyone who can watch this and feel joy. And for the ones just standing there doing nothing, you’re not much better…

Kudos to my friend Troy Vettese for this important essay in Current Affairs--"The Left Has Failed Animals." "Even among self-described 'ecosocialists,' the lives of animals are often treated as an afterthought." www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-lef... @currentaffairs.bsky.social

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

No matter what happens in NY mayoral election, hope dems can take a page from that playbook. Don’t eat each other during primaries. Stay civil and supportive of each other’s candidacies, and highlight you your own platform. This is the way.

It's #BlackMusicSunday and @deniseoliver-velez.bsky.social is throwing a Halloween Party! Come join in on the fun!

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

We can’t let this happen. And any Republican who refuses to renew health care subsidies for hardworking American families, saying we can’t afford it, needs to explain how they found $1 trillion in tax cuts to give away to the wealthiest people in America.

Just realizing in my earlier life, I didn't know the months by number. Had to use the name of the month. Now, I know them by heart, 1-12, without a pause. Progress or just repetition? Who can say.

Obama nailed it re. White House demolition and grift, though wasn't referencing it: "It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on, who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. These men build pyramids and they put their names on everything."

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

A German newspaper commissioned an article from Ai Weiwei but then refused to publish it. You can now read the artist’s original reflections in full on Hyperallergic.

Trump, per usual, keeping it classy.

Small acts of kindness have never meant more.

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Happy No Kings Day, America. It couldn't happen at a better time.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

This Is Fascism

🏆 How does a comedy show have the best news research team? @thedailyshow.com

This land belongs to all of us. It's not a war zone—it’s home. Trump can't take that from us.

If the national media were actually viewer and reader driven they would have more of this which would entertain and raise their revenues. But they don't, so something else must be going on...

Um. WTH, @nytimes.com? You really missed the pulse of the party on this one.

there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker. is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

If you haven’t seen it yet, her last words are inspiring bsky.app/profile/koja...

Because of Republicans' health care cuts, families will be forced to the brink of bankruptcy from one bad medical diagnosis. That's what this shutdown fight is about. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress own this government shutdown.

Greta Thunberg & Jane Goodall #JaneGoodall #environment Everyday should be Earth day.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

How out of touch can Donald Trump’s top economic adviser be? A 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR. TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
