Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Good morning! I'm baking an alert loaf for #kittyloafmonday. This is the purrfect spot for mousie and bird watch, and I can surprise Sunny when she comes around the corner! 🤭 ~Barney 🐈 #hedgewatch

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles. DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

Always follow the money.

Two years after Hamas’s brutal attack, Gaza’s guns are silent—and the last hostages are home. Trump is taking a victory lap for “everlasting peace,” but Gaza’s still in ruins, and both sides are holding their breath. This isn’t peace. It’s a pause. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did. A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

An attempted family picture, the best one I got out of multiple tries. 😆

Good morning and I honor, support and acknowledge Indigenous Peoples Day! 💙✊🏾☕️💙

Dude in grocery store goes “Some common sense advice: masks don’t do anything. Idiot.” I said “Forgive me for not taking ‘common sense advice’ from a guy wearing socks with Crocs in the rain.” I could tell by his face he’s gonna go to sleep tonight thinking about everyone on line laughing.

Absolutely brutal.

Arthur just couldn’t quite get used to working from home.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode. We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

Gooder mornings hoom! Is it perhaps time for a breakfasts???? 💛Chip

#GopEpsteinParty Stop this absurdity! drumph’s gestapo!

#GopEpsteinParty Release the Files.

I love my dance friends :-) 🩷 just stopped to record hehe

Good at parties, are you?

Well, it looks like everyone at NYCC who changed their flights out of New York played it right. We boarded on time, but almost two hours later, still haven't taken off. And the worst of the storm hasn't hit yet 🫠

For today’s #macromonday a pollen-dusted bee clings to a pale bloom, wings glinting like forged glass. The blur behind fades into mystery as this tiny voyager pauses mid-quest, caught in a moment of quiet urgency and luminous detail. #eastcoastkin #photography #macromonday

Jeffies on Marjorie Taylor Greene: "It does seem to many of us that she's had a surprisingly enlightened few weeks."

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents? Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

First bird of my day: still not quite light yet, the village rooks fly over the garden on their way out to the fields where I’m going to. ‘Wait for me’ I think, wishing I could fly. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

It’s fantastic news that all remaining hostages have been returned. I’m not ready to spike the football and declare victory on peace yet, though. These things can - and often do - go completely sideways.

“No Kings means no paychecks?” Scott, that’s not how government works; that’s how feudalism works. You’re literally arguing for the system we escaped in 1776. No kings means exactly what America stands for— we don’t serve monarchs or dictators. The people are the power, not one man or family.

The wearing of masks to hide identity while terrorizing people who aren’t white is today’s version of the white robes and face covering.

"God killed that fireman in Butler, PA, but He saved my life so I could trick you into sending me more money and buying even more expensive Trump-branded tacky crap I have made for pennies in China. Glory! (To me.)"

Melodramatic events in Manchester and London yet to be announced but please do launder your best handkerchiefs in readiness.

It’s deeply encouraging to see footage of hostages reuniting with their families and to see Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza. There are obviously many more steps to achieving a lasting peace but today’s developments should give us all a profound sense of hope.
