Horrified by the news out of Louisiana today. Eight children killed in a senseless act of violence. My heart is with all of the victims and their families. Once again we’re forced to confront the question: how do we continue to let this happen? (1/2)

I should not be awake

We all deserve more ease. That's really it.

How is that even comfortable

The House passed our extension of TPS for Haiti with a 224 vote victory of Democrats & Republicans alike. This has been a long-fought battle to defend our Haitian neighbors & our communities, and we're not letting up. The Senate must take action without delay.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

Please send a letter to the city council to allocate 0.5% of the city expense budget to our public libraries. This takes 30 seconds. actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

Deportation is a matter of life-and-death for 350,000+ Haitian nationals in the U.S. That is why I am proud to have voted to pass @pressley.house.gov’s legislation to extend Haiti TPS and give our neighbors the critical protections they deserve.

I am building a flock of the tiniest chickens in so many different colors because next week we are totally gonna do a Teeny Tiny Chicken Fundraiser for our Teeny Tiny Chickens and by Fundraiser I mean Sell People Tiny Adorable Shit. LOL

IT'S OFFICIAL: The House has passed our extension of TPS for Haiti. This win wouldn't be possible without the strength & organizing of our movement to defend our Haitian neighbors. To those in the #MA7 & beyond, this is for you. The Senate must pick this up without delay.

Logged off, needed more than grass. Needed all of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden

We went out on a night hike last night and @scibugs.bsky.social spotted this adorable Red-spotted Glass Frog. These frogs are found in the Andes Mountains from Colombia south into Ecuador. Intag Refugio, Ecuador

rachel corrie’s murder, and the razing of rafah that she was resisting, was when i started asking whether the things i’d been told about and by israel were really true

This is Panda. He was found as a stray with foxtails (grass-like weeds with sharp, barbed seed heads) lodged deep inside his nose. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover his $7,000 care. He's recovered and looking for a forever home with snoot-safe landscaping ❤️‍🩹

These cats are adorable. Please give them a good home

LA! These kitties’ human passed away, and they need a new home! Please help them find one! Spread the word!

Good for him but I am tired of learning about all the ways a 41-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate supposedly has a lot more growing and learning to do. Maybe do that before the Senate? And maybe try out a lower office before then? Or maybe we just watch him blossom into another Sinema/Fetterman.

He's really struggling. But he's fighting. Sorry for no alt text they're all of a sickly orange cat in my arms.

It’s nice having a politician who actually wants to do shit. Pretty refreshing. Seems like we should’ve been doing this the whole time.

my man Eddie V. was just ahead of his time

you ever just feel overwhelmed by crushing sadness? like your heart might implode? no? haha me neither

Luck of the Irish Day here on the Shannon.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

It’s so frustrating. A lot of celebrity “interviews” are just influencers desperate to “hang out” with famous people they idolize. They rarely even ask questions, to say nothing of questions pertinent to anyone but themselves or stans. It’s a real loss for culture.

People who haven't had a moment of uncurated time in years are absolutely baffled by authenticity and why anyone would like it.
