There are people you never have the honor of knowing but you feel the ripple effects of their person and their work from the folks who have met them. Alice Wong made waves that went far. A tremendous loss. Memory eternal.

Ahem, @booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov, we expect you to do the same. NO DEAL -- and let @schumer.senate.gov know that your actual constituents (not some made up fake people like the Baileys) say so

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

This is so important. I've set up a monthly donation to my local food bank. Most get a boost around the holidays, but because folks go hungry year round, it's really great (if you can) to give consistent support.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

Cuomo could never.

Just saw someone post "Democracy Dies in Whiteness." Amazing truth. Encapsulates America. Should be @washingtonpost.com new motto.

And yes, I was the last Black full-time columnist in the Opinion section. Washington Post -- operating in a city which for a long time has been majority Black, is now without any full-time Black opinion writers.

@jay.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app WTF are you going to do about this shit?

#showmeyourknits Finished this five minutes ago. Now the wait for cold weather begins

Nothing like accidentally knocking over a fresh cup of HOT coffee right into your lap. Good morning and apologies to all the folks within a 1000 yard radius who heard me scream and then cuss a blue streak

Two plus years after planting some milkweed in my yard, I finally attracted this beauty! 🦋🐛🌱 🐝

Soulless monsters.

This, right here 👇

I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

Another way y'all can really help us right now is with a donation. We're a nonprofit newsroom and our stories are free for anyone to read (no paywalls), so your support helps a lot. We appreciate whatever y'all can give. Here's the link: givebutter.com/mfpdonate

This sucks. Mississippi Free Press is such an important voice

So much of our problems come from the fact Merrick Garland didn’t want to do his job

You can also call the Secretary's office directly: 202-690-7000. Making that call now!

RIP, Flaco Jimenez. Thank you for the music -- you made accordions cool as hell!

If you've ever loved Pastor Solomon's wisdom and/or shenanigans, now's a good time to give -- I just did!

"They cut medicaid to build concentration camps" is the best summation I've heard

First fireflies of the season spotted in my garden tonight! I know they're not important pollinators, but they are one of the best parts of summer🐝

Shout out to @lindseyboylan.bsky.social who put it all on the line four and a half years ago and then was hitting the pavement hard since Cuomo got in the race and through today. A portrait in bravery.

Scroll down for links to donate to Kerlin Moreno-Orellana's family (there is both a Spanish and English donation page -- keep scrolling for the English one)

driving a few blocks should instantly disqualify you from being mayor of this city

booker ready to do anything other than vote no on republican legislation

That's a photo of a huge line of fucking fascist cowards using near-lethal force on three people who are sitting behind a dumpster.

I hope JK Rowling choke on a crumpet or whatever it is they eat out there.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

ICE vans ran through a crowd of anti-ICE protesters in Paramount, CA, at least two with extreme injuries, per @acatwithnews.bsky.social A major fire is burning in the middle of the street, per Sean.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

I’m not sure if you can overdose on schadenfreude but we’re about to find out

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

It take just a couple of minutes and you can comment anonymously if you want. This is something we can do for all of us

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

We have 2 DAYS left to comment and tell RFK Jr that we demand that everyone be able to get an updated covid vaccine/booster. There are currently 8k comments. Can we get it to 10k? Share widely, tell your friends to comment and push back. If we push back, they walk back.
