It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

Hello, 50! Caught up! :)

A view of the Cinque Terre coastline from just outside Vernazza, Italy.

Well, I’m 50

Glad to start this next stage of life with @mhuhta.bsky.social in Cinque Terre, Italy ❤️ 🇮🇹

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

Our dog, Lola, a 4.5 year old lab/German shepherd mix. She’s laying down in a vast green field with trees at the horizon. She’s been chasing a frisbee, so her tongue is out and it looks like she’s smiling.

Happy girl in spring ☀️

If I were a billionaire, I'd use my wealth (and my fame) to help people less fortunate than me.

I certainly wouldn't be using it to demonize the less fortunate, and troll and crush them with the social media company I bought.

That's why people hate that fucker.

Senator Murphy lays out exactly what is on the line.

"  There was a promise made to finance this tax cut with two trillion dollars of cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid, poor kids, poor families, Medicare, seniors in this country."

Hands Off Our Medicaid!

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

✨ Did you know the Glass Art Society has an IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility) Committee? ✨

We are proud to support our community members in the Arlington-Fort Worth area who are working hard to create vibrant and inclusive spaces in a politically turbulent place.

Look at all that delicious organization. My label maker, too @jonathoncolman.org 🤣

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This. This. This.

The onslaught is intentional. Take care of yourself. Pick one thing.

You do not have to do everything. One thing. It counts.

Today is a solemn day of remembrance for the millions murdered in the Holocaust.
 
On the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, we look to our history as a warning against the dangers of antisemitism and intolerance and honor the promise: never again.

A stuffed animal that our dog ripped to shreds. It used to be a panda, but now it’s just fluff.

Love this!!

This week, the glass community mourns the loss of Ginny Ruffner (1952-2025). She was a truly visionary glass + mixed media artist who was awarded the Glass Art Society’s 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award. Her dedication, persistence, innovation, + imagination have inspired generations of glassmakers.

Two screenshots from the second Lord of the Rings movie, The Two Towers. Frodo has started to give up hope, and Sam reminds him that there’s always something to fight for. In the top panel, Frodo says “What are we holding onto Sam?” In the bottom panel, at the end of a speech which is not included in these screenshots, Sam answers Frodo’s question by saying, “That there’s good in this world Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”

needed this & I bet you do too

Biden says farewell: "After 50 years of public service, I give you my word: I still believe in the idea for which this nation stands ... now it's your turn to stand guard. May you be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith. I love America. You love it too. God bless you all"

Toss those chips over here, yeah?

We can fix this. No we can't bring back extinct species, at least not yet but we can bring the planets temp back within normal ranges by fixing the atmospheric chemistry.

We wrote a plan for success
