SHE WON!!! We flipped another seat in a long-shot district -- Trump literally voted (by mail!!) for her opponent along with endorsing him and Emily still came out ahead.

This week's @runforsomething.net feel-good update: Some really GREAT news, for a change! Plus, details on our 2026 strategic plan on how we're going to keep the momentum going. rfsfeelgoodupdates.substack.com/p/rfs-feel-g...

When I set a goal to write more this year, the intent was to craft witty tech posts, not to write about how scary it is to take my son out to breakfast. But here we are. Living in #Minneapolis. learnbuildteach.substack.com/p/living-in-...

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank! linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid

The package with ICE funding will be in the Senate this week and will need Democratic votes to advance.

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.

🥹👏

🚨 T-MINUS 30 MINUTES 🚨

Brother is so dramatic #soundon #caturday

Insane ending to the Clippers Nuggets game - favorite reaction was that Dunk Contest judges would’ve still given Aaron Gordon a 9/10 for that

Literally sweating laughing so hard at @electrolemon.bsky.social and co playing Wavelength in the @parlorroom.bsky.social, everyone should go watch right away especially if you’re a fan of the game 😐✋

Book 7 of 2025: Project Hail Mary is a fantastic nerd power fantasy and Andy Weir did a great job making practical science seem really approachable. Also a nice optimistic view of how global cooperation could look facing a catastrophe! #booksky

Just in: Everyone knows winter is coming but the current administration decided to tear down the Wall to save money instead www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Me: Thinks I understand parasocial relationships and I set good boundaries Also me: bought a pin and watched the whole musical about a ringtone, and then had the nerve to feel a lil betrayed it was all part of a bit @gamechangershow.bsky.social how is that just the season premiere!!? Incredible

Hulu really needs to spend some marketing money sending these outfits to all the nationwide protests to promote the final season!

Tesla/Musk protest today (3/29) at Berkley, pretty big turnout! There was even someone in a full Handmaid’s Tale outfit, love the commitment

No better way to start Saturday than a Cheese Board pizza with a jazz quartet (Liberation Quarter)!

Black Bag was way better than trailers made it look! Well executed, well written, and concise - plus gave me a new New Year’s party game to try 😈

Me: please be cute for Bluesky Him: all I have is 🤪 #caturday

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

My selfishly favorite part of Severance S2 is how it spreads awareness on how to pronounce my last name. Empathy awaits, fellow Huang!

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

@thebeccascott.bsky.social and a lot of @dropout.tv friends are trying to fund a season of playing Blood on the Clocktower - check it out!

I will say, if you're under 40, a great resource is runforsomething.net They were incredibly helpful during my first campaign, and now I'm a mentor for RFS, helping candidates throughout their campaigns. My first mentee, bsky.app/profile/emma..., was elected to Lexington-Fayette City Council!

While our endorsement program is limited to folks 40 & under, our pipeline program has a *ton* of resources for folks of all ages. We want to get everyone plugged in & able to kickstart their campaign. Share this widely.

Book 6 of 2025: But What Will People Say? By Sahaj Kaur Kohli is a resonant guide to immigrant guilt and bicultural identity that all children of immigrants should read to feel seen and manage the unique circumstances they grew up in. I liked it a lot - a good mix of self help and memoir! #booksky

Was so hyped for Mickey 17 but sadly it was just too overstuffed with characters, storylines, and concepts while still being boring and long. Only bright spots were Pattinson and the creature design / VFX. Wish it chose a few of its ideas and went deeper with those rather than try to do it all!

Matt Murdock drinking wine sadly on a couch watching Wilson Fisk’s televised election victory speech is certainly a mood

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Sometimes he’s cute I guess 🙄 #caturday

If you’re sick of all the bad news and want to take substantive action, consider running for local office! @amandalitman.bsky.social is doing an AMA live NOW if you have any questions on how to get started!

SEVERANCE WOW

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott
