Fundraising text already from Maine's Gov Mills. The preview on my lock screen: I didn't plan to run for Senate. But I could never live with myself if I didn't do everything in my power to stop D... From running a candidate under 70? From running someone vaguely progressive?

Hammerstein and Sondheim @marcelias.bsky.social? Are you letting AI write your newsletter? Although Sondheim lyrics would probably be amazing in the Sound of Music.

LOL. Rachel Maddow just called herself “a pineapple that lives under the sea.”🍍

I focused on the words before even noticing the rest of the image and thought it was announcing a huge sale at Chipotle’s.

Idiots on campus keep letting off fireworks and terrifying Eli. It helps if I sing to him, but the only calming things I could think of were Stay Awake and Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins. When I get to “Don’t lie down…” he shuffles over to the bed and lies down. It’s so sweet. #UglyDogs

Every morning....

Me since January 20th

anyway the choice america faces going forward is live in the confederacy or do reconstruction for real and purge those motherfuckers from all of public life. and there isn’t really an in-between.

Hey @jvl.bsky.social! This is a great article that speaks to what you were saying on the next level on Friday. It would be great if you could check it out.

Furthest I’ve been: N: Stockholm, Sweden S: Boruca, Costa Rica E: Vienna, Austria W: Kauai, Hawaii, US

Yo, #uglydogs! Let’s see if we can pull together to help out Ali here. There’s only so much I can give each month, but hey! It’s a new month…

Eli and me reunited after his 36 hour walkabout. Fireworks freaked him out, he dug under the fence and ran. From sightings on social media, I figure he covered maybe 10 miles. #uglydogs

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you. It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

Hey @jvl.bsky.social! You should definitely see this.

Hey there, #UglyDogs! Since we first went bleral, I've felt a lot of tenderness for the youth of the villages along the Iditarod Trail. It would be lovely to help these young Shaktoolikians out. gofund.me/6c1daf05

#MAGAMurderBudget is absolutely life and death for us all. They are stealing food from children and cancer cures from all of us in order to terrorize, abduct and abuse whomever they select via causes they invent.

Has anyone done solid analysis of how many people will be killed by this #MAGAMurderBudget between cutting off food, denying medical care, making ICE into largest armed force, ending registration for gun silencers & whatever other provisions they snuck in "dead" of night?

#uglydogs Shaktoolik, yeah, Shaktoolik! there’s a song waiting to get written and a baseball team to send south!!

#UglyDogs their debt is $50,000, this ask is really too modest. Can we get Raven, Kieran and Dad what they need to save their home? We’ve done great in a day and a half, let’s keep this going at least a few more paydays for people.

We have enough resources to satify the poor. We don’t have enough resources to satisfy the rich.

I ordered a mug and a sweatshirt. This morning I got an email saying that the mug had shipped, and its expected delivery date was, uh, April 7th. But USPS does seem to have the package, so that's hopeful. #uglydogs

"Oh, but you have to wait forEVER in the Canadian health care system. What we have in the US is so much better." My dad just made an appointment to see his neurologist for pain that prevents him from using his right arm sometimes. The earliest they could see him was August. So, you know.

@maddow.msnbc.com This is beautiful.

Just saw @joshtpm.bsky.social on @chrislhayes.bsky.social. He said something about "when things get back to normal." I like Josh a lot, but I gotta ask: is that really possible? We're just gonna shake off the constitution, pick it up and carry on? Seems it'll take a lot more than that.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social @jvl.bsky.social

Just now on @chrislhayes.bsky.social, @ericswalwell.bsky.social saying "We just have to hold tight until the midterms." That's their plan? People are being disappeared, snatched off the streets by secret police, removed in unmarked vehicles, and we're supposed to just sit tight for 18 months?

Well, I broke down in tears on Patty Murray's voicemail, for all the good that will do. If anyone sees this, please call your senators and urge them to vote NO on cloture for this spending bill. Giving them cloture so they'll let us propose amendments to the final bill is a boondoggle.

Goddam @maddow.msnbc.com, way to go! Thank you so much for using your position to stand up for your off-air colleagues. A lot of us in tech have been treated the same way and it feels good to have someone reproach it. Thanks too for trying to get through to Leader Jeffries. Too bad he’s clueless.

@maddow.msnbc.com Hi Rachel and your wonderful team. Wanted to bring this thread to your attention if you're not already aware.

Should have done this a long time ago, but I deleted my Twitter and Facebook accounts finally. I hadn't signed into FB for years, nor Twitter for months now. Still hard to let go. "Hey, look at all those people I forgot I once knew!"

My 84-year old father said today, "This is the first day of the most interesting year of our lives."

🚨Union baristas are calling on EVERYONE to NOT buy from ANY Starbucks store during the duration of our ULP strikes. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/sbwo...

“There are very few people who have done more for cake than Marie Antoinette.”

Watching Sound of Music with my parents. Trying not to say *every* line out loud ahead of time. The von Trapps had much better architecture to flee from the Fascists amidst.

If you see this post, can you please help spread this information? #ASafeChoice is a referral network of physicians who provide medication abortion services ACROSS THE US. People everywhere need to know about this option. These doctors have capacity to help more women! Let’s spread word! ❤️✊

Wow! Thank you for the follows everyone! I'm mostly a lurker when it comes to social media, but I'll try to occasionally say something a bit clever, or at least heartfelt. A pic or two of Eli maybe. I learned so much from y'all back before the other place went bad, and I'm excited for that again!

I do not think in terms of what was or what is or what will be There has only ever been me A shapeless thing kept in a form that does not fit, seeking one that does Suffering in that search This moment is not change It is the pieces settling into place I am becoming

There are few denialist political ideas more repugnant to me than notion that we overreacted to Trump term 1, “sure, it was bad, but not, like, apocalyptic…” A million Americans dead of Covid. Climate windows nailed shut permanently. These fucking opportunistic ghouls will forever hide the dead.

How can there only be ~6k signatures? Let's step it up folks. They're coming for all of us.

The Republican Party serves the interests of the billionaires. The Democratic Party serves the interests of the millionaires. We need a party for the rest of us.

Sir Thomas Brown in Religio Medici says "I tried if I could reach that great resolution, to be honest without a thought of Heaven or Hell." I was 16 when I read that (Dorothy Sayers, Gaudy Night) and was like, what's the big deal? You're honest because you're honest. Who cares about heaven or hell?

This made me so happy when I first saw it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjVD...

Tonight I introduced my dad to The Wellerman and I was reminded of those amazing early days of COVID when there was such an outpouring of generosity and people sharing themselves. Yo-Yo Ma played his cello for us. Patrick Stewart read us Shakespeare sonnets. We can be those people again.

Sir Pterry sees humanity very clearly, and loves us anyway.

It really is something to discover that if we had a Tiananmen Square demonstration today, and the tank ran over the protester, tens of millions of my fellow citizens would say he deserved it.

Mom: Where's our dad gone? Me: Well, he's my dad and your husband. He's gone to the store for groceries. Mom: Was I in the car with him when he left?
