Reminder that Congress can literally just…repeal DC laws. We don’t allow them to do this anywhere else, but somehow we allow them to do it to a city of almost a million people

i have absolutely fucking had it with 100% of all of this shit. gambling websites, lies, cryptocurrency, rampant corruption, lies, deep fakes, lies, plagiarism, devaluation of expertise, lies, bile, abuse, violence, bombs, genocides, lies, plutocrats, oligarchs, and lies. fucking enough. rules time

I can't wait for Woody and Buzz to kill that fucking iPad.

I genuinely do not see a reason not to outlaw the distribution and hosting of AI video generation

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

Rep. @rep.jesse.chism (D) : “Memphis is a predominantly African-American city, correct?” Rep. William Lamberth (R): “I’m not privy to those demographics. I don’t know.” 🤷🏼 *HUGE LAUGH FROM THE AUDIENCE* The Republican gaslighting as they carve up Memphis is so absurd you gotta laugh.

ICYMI: The House Appropriations Committee voted 35-25 yesterday to advance a bill that would underfund WIC and cut fruit and vegetable benefits for almost 5.4 million toddlers, preschoolers, new moms & pregnant women in low-income families.

Very excited to announce the next OOYL Book Club selections for May, June, and July—including a bonus author event in July for COURT QUEENS with @emmabaccellieri.bsky.social & @heyjordanr.bsky.social!

local grocery store was playing The Story and right as I was scanning my items in self-checkout it got to the part where she really launches into Brandi Voice after the bridge & I started crying lol embarrassing but truly I had no other option

Booker? Schiff? Slotkin? Kaine & Warner? Shaheen? Persuasion & protest works! The 7 Dem Nos: Chuck Schumer & Kirsten Gillibrand (NY), Chris Coons (DE), Richard Blumenthal (CT), John Fetterman (PA), Catherine Cortez-Masto & Jacky Rosen (NV). For those running for reelection, enjoy getting primaried!

Never, ever forget that fascists are losers and they can’t survive democratic elections because fascism sucks

I like how every time they show the capsule I feel like I’m living in the future and every time they show Mission Control it looks straight out of 1983. Adds a real cinematic element

I’m crying 😭 Science 😭😭😭

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Waiting to see Bruce. Everyone is old and liberal. I am very happy.

i ordinarily don’t approve of sephiroth posting from senators but i have every confidence that wyden intends every word

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

Yeah that’s cool

I did this on previous No Kings days, but it's genuinely shocking to look back on Tea Party coverage and see what paltry numbers were treated like a political earthquake.

JUST IN: Democrats tonight have flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Florida. And not just any seat: This is the district that contains Mar-a-Lago. (It voted for Trump by 11% in 2024). That's right: Trump will now be represented by a Democrat, Emily Gregory, in Tallahassee.

justice alito talmbout it "seriously undermines" voter confidence when a "big stash" of mail ballots arrives and changes the "apparent outcome" sir do you mean when all the votes are counted? bc it sounds like you're just describing when all the votes are counted

“How You Get the Girl” by Anita Kelly is so good! The story is funny, sweet, kind, and just so compassionate. The characters deal with serious issues, but also act as support systems for each other. I loved this book - it’s the perfect escape from the cruelty in the world🌈📚💙

As I watch this incredible Virginia-Iowa game, feels like a good time to post a reminder that my sapphic basketball (the MCs are coaches) romance, HOW YOU GET THE GIRL, is on sale for $2.99 for the rest of the month. a.co/d/0hl2eEjH It remains the book that made me laugh the most while writing it

PSA for all the soft people: there is a Caamp Tiny Desk and they sound so good tbh

Actually, Americans are just like you. ~20-30% of them genuinely support fascism, as in ~every 🇪🇺 country. You are just more fortunate to have political institutions & a multiparty system that prevent that 20-30% from fully capturing the center-right party, becoming 51%, & controlling the government.

So happy for Autumn Arkapaw! She’s so talented. A quick fact: Ryan Coogler has only ever worked with female cinematographers. His team represents the best of us.

that sinners music performance was STUNNING

Nearly six months behind bars. No bail. When they finally dismissed the charges they released her in North Dakota with no winter clothes & no means of getting back home to Tennessee. They upended this woman's life.

Working in schools, I have heard a shocking amount of antisemitic stuff this year, like stuff I’ve never heard from kids before ever, and I just saw another post that helped me connect some stuff in my mind so I wanted to type it out. I think for some kids whose families already veer right, they

ESPN isn't covering the bombing of one the most famous stadiums on earth so.... my latest piece @thenation.com "The Razing of Iran’s Azadi Stadium Is Straight Out of Israel’s Gaza Script" www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I heard we're still supposed to be telling people about our books. A LADY FOR ALL SEASONS is out March 10 wherever queer books are sold.

Hey if any editors are interested in a romance book where the plot is about this, let my agent know lol it’s called rivers & roads

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

Every trans woman I know has had "why not be an effeminate man?" shoved in our faces for ages and yet thus piece suggests that even once suggesting an effeminate boy might be trans is some sort of crime against humanity. This is transphobia.

BREAKING: Tillis reiterates his call for Noem's resignation, citing OIG stonewalling. If he doesn't get answers, Tillis says he's putting a hold on any en bloc nominations until he gets answers. In two weeks, he says he'll deny quorum and markup in any committees he can until he gets a response.

Politics has become welfare for talentless and uncharismatic people who failed to make it in the creative arts. How many of these people have books clogging warehouses and dollar stores? Movies that almost no one has seen? ExploreTalent profiles begging for attention?

It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans don’t see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. That’s why they hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they don’t believe in doing the work.

A deeply moving, tender, beautiful journey in search of identity, healing and hope. Ben and Alexei's adventures on the Pacific Crest Trail are a vibrant, emotional tale of self-acceptance, new beginnings and the right to happiness 🥰 a real treat❣️ @anitakellywrites.bsky.social‬ #booksky #mmromance

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
