This is what’s happening in Minnesota. It already happened in LA and Chicago. It is starting in Maine now. Scare tactics don’t work when the community supports each other. Stay strong! Right makes might! #minnesota #generalstrike #IceOut

In solidarity with my fellow Minnesotans. Can’t be there in person but am always with you in spirit. #generalstrike #ICEout #MinnesotaProud

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Wow! There are some really deranged people leading this tech revolution. Well researched, great explanations of the sloppy science behind their beliefs, and just generally well written. #booksky #amreading #nonfiction #AI #techbros

I’m in shock! This album (and my husband, Hans-Martin Buff) were nominated for a Grammy for Best Immersive Album! Second nomination in two years! Shocked and overwhelmed but also extremely proud! #Grammys #Tearjerkers #Grammys2026 #immersive #music

Anybody else notice Trump is looking more and more Penguin-like every day? #DCComics #TheBatman #VillainInRealLife

To celebrate my husband’s debut record release - buff.lnk.to/tearjerkers, I thought I’d do something fun. I’m offering a free cover letter or first page critique for anyone who can guess which song on the album was written for me. #writers #editing #coverlettercritique #firstpagecritique

My view on a walk yesterday. #paris #eiffeltower

Prince, Minneapolis, 1999. Got a backstage pass and was waiting for the show to start when Prince pulled out his guitar and played the opening bars to The One three feet in front of me. A personal concert. 💜 #Prince youtu.be/B_deQ-3SEQw?...

My heart is breaking for Minneapolis right now. I went to Catholic schools my entire life in southern MN. I have family members who have spent their entire lives teaching in Catholic schools. Shooting children during mass? Nothing is sacred — except the right to own as many fucking guns as you want.

"Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying." Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after at least two people were killed in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.

Is there a Go Fund Me? 🙌

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

A not so humble brag - I’ve been married to this guy since the beginning of his career. It’s been a wild ride to say the least. But couldn’t be prouder.

👇 This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like 👇 @carolecadwalla.bsky.social with a powerful talk on broligarchy & authoritarianism. Can't even pick a quote, because every other sentence is worth a quotation.

Now think about what this means to those of us who live abroad and depend on online voter registration to vote. How do we show physical proof of citizenship from 4000 miles away?

The SAVE Act passed the House—and if it clears the Senate, overseas voting could become difficult or even impossible. We must act now. Call/email your senators to protect our right to vote!

After living here for 24 years, I voted in my first German election today. Hope my vote can help protect our democracy from right-wing fascists and the billionaires who support them. #Deutschlandwählt2025 #GermanElections2025

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Finally finished the second draft of a novel that’s been in my head for over a decade. Get ready @hannahlitagent.bsky.social for a treat in your mailbox. #amwriting #amediting

Despite his swagger, he's still not and will never be king.

What a crazy weekend! Had to fly back to Germany before I could even post that MY HUSBAND WON A FUCKING GRAMMY!!! So proud of him and being there was amazing. Here’s a link to his receiving his award #grammys www.youtube.com/live/Ot6ia8K...

So excited to see these amazing artists next week in LA at the Grammys. And to have the host be @trevonoahtoday.bsky.social is a dream come true🤩🤩🤩

This is so disappointing. And very anti-Minnesotan. There went one of my pleasures of visiting the US.

When we had the numbers, not to mention a fair SCOTUS, we should have done this years ago.

To the men on Bluesky - if you follow me I will do my research and if you either a. Post the same thing over and over again or b. Only follow women I’m not going to follow you. #themstherules #dontbeacreep

I've always known my husband is one of the best in the industry - now the rest of the world is about to find out.

Just watched this @samsteindc.bsky.social interview w Senator Chris Murphy and it’s worth a watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it. youtube.com/watch?v=j_5q...

Made a little parody vid of Bluesky & MAGA trolls 😜

If the 500 richest people in the world (worth ranges between $6.27B to $348B) would donate 1B to combat global warming, we might actually have a usable planet to leave our great grandchildren. #cop29
