Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope.

THIS is good trouble!

Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

This is how it’s done.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul:

It's time.

You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor.

Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York.

REMOVE ADAMS NOW.

Sincerely,
A New Yorker

Never hit the follow button so fast. 🥹

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Watching the Superb Owl with my 6 yo and am reminded how much I hate football. Go Taylor Swift’s boyfriend. Eagles to win. Fuck Donald Trump.

My baby reaching her hands up to me for a pick up is one of the simplest, most common ways I have my heart ripped out of my body on a daily basis.

Me and my mini me ❤️

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained access to the computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), claiming to use that access to search for programs and staff linked to diversity policies.

Albany, NY #50501 @reppaultonko.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @patriciafahy46.bsky.social Keep fighting. Take it to them. Delay. Deny. Defend democracy.

Rep. Pressley, too. Her speech this week - goosebumps. I’ll be over here, corralling my own and pointing to these amazing black and brown women as the heroes we honestly don’t deserve but should be damn grateful for.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

I’m so tired of living in unprecedented times. I’m so angry that we LITERALLY had the playbook for this and yet let this happen (except Black women, who understood the damn assignment). It’s been 17 days. History tells us we have 53. LFG.

Also kittens. And puppies.

Fill my whatever-this-feed-is-called with aaaaaaallll the Juniper pics plz!

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Reading @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s letter usually makes me take a breath - it’s so clear and calm that the panic recedes. Instead, the Feb 2 letter’s clarity starkly shows how quickly everything has gone terribly, horribly wrong. But go on about those eggs.

Tonight’s before bed book was this beautiful one. As a result, I found myself explaining slavery, emancipation, civil rights, good trouble, equity and fairness to my six-year-old. I can’t say it all landed, but we’re starting the convo early and often. Feels extra important right now.

Main FAA Warning System, NOTAM, Is Down Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the Federal Aviation Administration was using a backup system while it worked to address the problem.

I’m so glad my flight to Portugal leaves from our much more sane neighbor. 🇨🇦

Nothing like a ball pit.

Only 3 years and 50 weeks to go

I’ve convinced him to at least paint his nails with Korben, too.

My 6 YO was made fun of at school for painting his nails. The boys told him only girls paint their nails. He’s not sure he wants to paint them again because they made him feel bad. When are we adults going to do better so our kids can be better?
