“We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness,” said her widow, Becca Good. "On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns.”

We honor the dead by fighting like hell to remove the regime. Let us mourn with Renee's loved ones and vow to act in her honor, unrelenting in pursuit of justice. #BraveOfUS #MurderedByICE

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Friends... help me help a sad older lady. I will help transport anywhere. Belly is a sweet 10 y/o who belonged to a friend's uncle who died three weeks ago. She is affectionate and loves a walk, but is ready to come home after 1 mile. No cats but is fine with other dogs and loving humans. Dm me!

November is Adopt a Senior Dog Month. And if you want a two-fer, adopt a senior pitbull. Fastest way to lift your mood in the current hellscape. #pitbull #adopt #endBSL

I was happy to contribute to this article

The inflatables have made it to Broadview.

Applying for college these days is a truly weird experience in these times....

At least we have dogs

IFPTE Local 29 is calling on Congress, local government officials, stakeholders, and the public to take immediate action to stop the closure of the NASA Goddard Visitor Center - a decision that would inflict irreparable harm on the community, the regional economy, and NASA’s public mission. #NASA

This is Mama. She has been waiting for a home for years. She's a great dog, she just needs to be an only dog. She's going downhill after so long without a family. Can someone be her hero? East coast. I will pay the adoption fee and transport her for an approved adopter.

This is genuinely a big part of my campaign’s structure. I thought about how many clinics could be funded, how many food banks could be stocked with $1 billion. So we’re using our resources to reach voters through back to school drives and park cleanups and our mutual aid work.

Imagine if "combating homelessness" meant housing people, not brutalizing and disappearing them.

Adopt a senior dog. While you don't get as much time with them, every day is worth it. (Salsa, age 10, adopted last fall after 3 years in a shelter.) ❤️

Two chapters in and it's already one of the most disturbing books I've ever read

Andry Hernández Romero, the innocent make-up artist imprisoned without trial for 4 months in El Salvador by the Trump admin, is FREE. He was wrongfully accused of being a gang member because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, and illegally sent to El Salvador without due process.

“You don’t have to be a progressive to worry about this assault on some of these key institutions of civil society. The president’s supporters themselves rail against entrenched elites and a deep state that lords it over ordinary citizens.” #HigherEd

Our inability to say - explicitly - that the right wing strategy of vilifying whomever they deem other, stoking status threat and glorifying guns led to the murder of an extraordinary public servant and effective leader simply aids the right's aims.

It is not the job of a good message to say what is popular. It is the job of a good message to make popular what we need said.

The Planetary Society will provide a NASA budget briefing on Thursday, June 12, at 12pm ET where we'll answer the science community's questions. Register for free: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Something I worked on in my professional life.

The pibble pack are pretending to be baked potatoes now that the sun has finally appeared. #pibbles #pitbulls #rescue #endBSL

Attn: everyone who is going to get into the fight to save American science. You need to look at this.

New article in my newsletter. #plannedgiving #legacygiving #philanthropy

Brilliant

This is our first military fundraiser in nearly a year. One that is as timely and crucial as ever. This is our chance to stop daily russian terror. Regardless of what is decided by the powers that be, including those in charge of algorithms. So let’s: u24.gov.ua/sky-sentinel...

My 17 yo has declared Andor the best Star Wars property of all time and clearly I have raised him right. #andor #starwars

I have many talents. One of the coolest is making it rain. My leaves absorb moisture from fog and condense it into drops of rain. And then there's terpenes. My leaves release them to help condense moisture in the air into clouds that cool the forest. Pretty magical, right? 📸 Frank Balthis

Elmo’s LinkedIn update has me 😫

My spouse (curtisillustration.com) drew our newest rescue - Salsa, an elderly pittie/Carolina mix #DogsofBluesky

Good interview with Michael Roth from @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social on @preetbharara.bsky.social 's podcast. Wesleyan moved right up on my kiddo's college list because of Roth's defense of universities in the face of current attacks. We toured last week with the sweetest student guide and loved it

On Monday mornings when I have no calls (b/c I'm not a monster who does Zoom calls in public) I work at a coffeeshop chosen solely because of the 80s alternative/new wave playlist - and vegan b'fast options #GenX

Well done, medium, rare (but youngest - 4 y/o; middle - 9 y/o; oldest - 11 y/o #pitties

Angels #pitbulls

I don’t mean to be weird and dramatic but I just want to scream my brains out and eat everything and fight everyone like God’s angriest little seagull, but also just go live on the bottom of the ocean like a flounder with a little peanut brain and everything is dumb and I hate it

I will never understand how "people" (monsters) can abuse and throw away angels like these. #pitbulls #rescuepits

❗️We've filed a *new lawsuit* to prevent the Trump Administration from unlawfully withholding funding to nonprofits and others for essential programs funded by the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill! www.councilofnonprofits.org/pressrelease...

I need to come back as a spoiled rescue pitbull in my next life...

What I'm doing instead of watching that stupid speech...#pitbulls #yarn

As a direct marketing fundraiser, this is terrible:

At least there's something good in this world. #pitbulls

My last sweater took almost a year. Due to existential angst and insomnia, I finished this one in a week. 🧶

Today would be a great time to send some support to the ACLU: 1. Aclu.org/donate to give right now /🧵

Thank goodness for pitbulls and yarn
