Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE. Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

More fun news! I got to narrate this audiobook, Maria La Divina, about the life and genius of Maria Callas, the legendary opera soprano. Written by my step-father @jeromecharyn.bsky.social, this book is a devoted portrait of a diva in all her complexity. I was so honored to read it! Available now!

The Sisters Grimm trailer is out and she’s beautiful! So proud to have worked as voice director on this project.

Once there were two lowly workers. One dreamed of friends, one dreamed to fly and a princess who dreamed of pain too heavy to wake from

Honored, excited, and thrilled to announce I voice Princess Guinevere in this astonishing production. Enormous thanks to @glitchprod.com @johnbaileyowen.bsky.social #ZackMarcus and especially visionary @danaterrace.bsky.social. They have a wild ride in store for you. Hold on to your Gwen buns!

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Great thread for anyone wanting to quit DuolAIngo!

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

I wonder if hockey will break out at this fight?

Virulent anti-vaxxer and HIV denialist confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Lord have mercy.

Read of the morning. We are royally fucked!

Morning read. Caroline Kennedy is courage personified. You can also watch her read the letter here on YouTube: youtu.be/nryofZuk5Yc

This is wonderful! I just found my new online bookshop. So lovely and rare to start the day with some small bit of good news.

An entire lineage of influenza B viruses literally went extinct due to COVID mitigation measures and people will still say “masks don’t work”

It’s here! Just a little bit of normality restored!

Henry Winkler needs to be here. Who can get this done?

The CDC has lowered the age recommendation for the Pneumonia vaccine to 50 (from 65) due to high rates among younger people. The new vaccines, Pneumococcal 20 and 21, are considered lifetime vaccines. Go get it! www.npr.org/2024/10/24/n...

People who oppose dental fluoridation are literally wrong. It is not toxic. The US removes more fluoride from water than it adds. We need to stop pretending there is another side to this topic. There are the facts and there are uninformed conspiracy nuts who choose not to believe scientific evidence

Can’t call em skeets. Just not ready.

I strongly would like to be in a coma for the next 4 years.

Hugely moved by all the folks who are signing up for bystander intervention training. It means a hell of a lot, y'all. Thank you. righttobe.org/upcoming-fre...

People being like “queer people survived Reagan” baffle me. Like… no? Actually they did not? Infamously? #HistorianProblems #StudyThePast

Haven’t voted yet? Boy are you in luck. These voter guides will make it a breeze. Fill out your ballots and then get yourself a treat. You deserve it.

It’s fine to just not want to be pregnant when you are pregnant

It’s way more likely that you have many friends who have had an abortion under non-tragic circumstances. Those abortions are good too.

Feeling my sanity slipping away as more and more (genuinely awful) stories about what Trump said or did accrues. Because: HE PLOTTED AND ATTEMPTED TO EXECUTE A VIOLENT COUP ON LIVE TV! HE ATTMEPTED TO END THE REPUBLIC! HE'S THE BIGGEST TRAITOR TO THE CONSITUTIONAL ORDER SINCE THE CONFEDERACY!

Reminder that if your vote truly doesn’t matter, they wouldn’t be trying this hard to take it away.

If you want a good example of how Republicans are still able to win elections despite running on unpopular ideas, look at how much time and effort Dems have had to spend this cycle telling people *already registered to vote* to check their registration to make sure they weren't illegally purged.
