Aging real well now.

I’m famous! 🤣 So cool to see myself (and the top of Sadie’s head) in the news, attending the #NoKings rally. I feel so inspired after hearing the incredible speakers. Virginia *is* going to be the end for Trump and his tyrannical administration!! www.loudounnow.com/news/thousan...

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Leesburg | Loudoun Indivisible” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Can’t wait to dig into this. Season 1 was incredible. Season 2 is sure to be just as intense and so, so important. We must listen to women.

So scary. I was vaxxed as a child but am I still immune? Doc gave me a blood test. Negative is 13.5; I’m 13.4. Hence my #measles, mumps, & rubella (MMR) booster next week. W/ SO MANY MAGA IDIOTS out there, it’s up to all of us to get vaccinated: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/w... #MMRvaccine #getvaxxed

I cannot WAIT to vote Youngkin out. To Fairfax & Arlington leaders: BRAVO. 🫡 To the VA “leaders” & the 19 sheriffs departments providing “unqualified backing” of ICE: Shame. On. You. You’ll see how we feel come election time. #immigration #ICEraids www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

The fight isn't over. Please keep up the pressure, even though it feels hopeless. 20 GOP are waivering. The only way to ensure we fail is to never try to #StopTheBillionaireBailoutBill @resistbot 5calls.org #demsUnited #usDemocracy #voices4victory #demVoice1 www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjE6rsJt/

The Republican death bill is devastating. 17 MILLION people are going to lose health insurance. 15K ppl are estimated to die EVERY YEAR bc of it. Cost of living? ⬆️ Maternal deaths? ⬆️ Jobs? Gone. And they. F*cking CHEERED. But it’s not over. We can’t quit. Call your Reps!!

Indeed. Obviously anyone who voted for Trump lacks basic empathy and intelligence. I expect nothing less of them. But FUCK YOU to all y’all who sat it out. You knew better. You made this happen.

When you use up scarce law enforcement resources going after cooks and farmworkers, and put a bunch of unqualified lackeys in key leadership posts, can you possibly think you're making America safer? ICYMI Will Selber:

This congresswoman co-chairs the House Pro-Life Caucus. She was an ardent supporter of Florida’s year-old abortion ban. Now that she’s been negative affected by that ban, she’s identified whose fault that was: abortion supporters.

Rubio: Forget about intelligence. We certainly have. Intelligence has no place in the trump administration. Now greed, cruelty, racism, homophobia? Plenty of room for them with us.

Will Trump’s greatest legacy be a seven dollar gallon of gas?

The stories of the disappeared. Emily Witt tells some of them in her Letter from Los Angeles. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

This is so incredible.

Without this trans woman, you wouldn't be able to listen to any podcasts 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/without-this-trans-woman-you-wouldnt-be-able-to-listen-to-any-podcasts/

A bunch of Gen Z who didn’t have to live thru “you’re either with us or against us” from the lowest days of the War On Terror and about to experience a reality tv version of a speed run. Enjoy, children!

if we're truly worried about sleeper cells, why are we devoting so much time, effort and money to rounding up and deporting cancer-stricken children? this is going to be the stupidest fucking war ever

The article frames Skrmetti as a poor strategic gamble by activists. In reality, Tennessee passed a categorical ban applicable solely to transgender adolescents which was framed in sex-based terms. The choices were (a) challenge it or (b) concede defeat in advance and abandon trans teens nationwide.

Snort

Yes pls to copycats. I’ve never loved Newsom more. He isn’t afraid. He’s serving the citizens of his state. He’s speaking his mind, using facts and logic. I wish every politician opposed to Trump would use the same tactics. He’s a true patriot, and I applaud him.

posters going up in Philly and some other cities

This is the best thing I’ve seen today

Damn. Rest easy to one of the true legends of modern music. This song is literally perfect btw. Like actual musical perfection in ways most artists can only dream of.

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social Thank you for your service. I refuse to post on Musk’s social, but I see you on X and TikTok, and like all rational humans, I salute you. You are truly serving CA’s citizens. (I hope you run for president. Just sayin’)

Before the darkness falls and consumes us all with the coronation of a raging, criminal madman. Remember, the kindness, the decency, the days of joy and hope, and the smiles and eyes bright without dread and fear. #poetry #poets

Unfortunately for Trump, the ‘TACO’ label isn’t just true, it’s also gaining traction The “Trump Always Chickens Out” framing has caught on with extraordinary speed. That’s likely to annoy the president to no end. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

@libradunn1.bsky.social knows first hand what a disgraceful and insulting lie this is coming from the White House and #47. Officer Dunn was beaten by the insurrectionists defending the Capitol and the elected representatives and VP inside. This is a sickening statement. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue1

Today May 15th is Peace Officers Memorial Day. Statements like this are inflammatory, disrespectful and flat out lies. Not only did you betray law enforcement, but you sided with people who attacked us. You don't support law enforcement, you are are a criminal.

Girls should only have two dolls, you shouldn’t have healthcare, and being homeless because you can’t afford housing can get you arrested. But Trump can spend $45 million on a birthday parade for himself. Republicans call this “America First.”

Raw Story: In an exchange between New York Times columnists, one raised the alarm that Trump's immaturity has made the US a dangerous place & has impacted how other world leaders have had to adapt to dealing with a "toddler" who must constantly be placated. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Casting Call !

Share this video & talk about ICE atrocities to everyone. What kind of monsters would take little ones' parents away & provide no assistance for the children left behind? Nazis did this during the Holocaust. Consider reading The Light of Days by Judy Batalion so you see how this parallels WWII.😭🤬😱

New @motherjones.com: RFK, Jr. is coming for abortion pills He told the Senate HELP committee yesterday that he told FDA Dr. Martin Makary to “do a complete review” on mifepristone. Why? Because new shoddy science from an anti-abortion group just dropped. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Our lawmakers should be focused on passing policies that keep us safe—but instead, they're considering legislation that would gut our life-saving gun laws. I just sent a message urging my lawmakers to oppose it: etwn.us/3DGVCCY @everytown.bsky.social

Just added @dead-signals.bsky.social to my starter pack: go.bsky.app/Mjy2Sqf Beyond obsessed with Archive 81 — now I need to listen to everything else they’ve created

Are. You. Kidding. Me. When will the madness end? I’m so mad at the racists who voted for Trump. The fury and heartache are real.
