Okay that is a great precaution! Hoping they don't find anything and if there is something wrong that it'll present itself in those 14 days so you can get ahead of it.

I'm not on social media as much lately but I hope everything is well. <3 How long do you have to wear the heart monitor?

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Incredibly proud of the folks in Oak Ridge, TN who showed up to the No Kings protest today @thetnholler.bsky.social

Not sure how that managed to be two posts but oh well!

Ahahaha I love it!!

Infographic on spotting self-sabotage in communities. Three signs: 1) Dilutes the Purpose – off-topic nitpicking; 2) Replaces Curiosity with Caution – fear or futility messaging; 3) Drains Morale – leaves people discouraged. Passing comments add clarity, use curiosity not fear, and leave participants stronger.

Infographic on countering sabotage. C Concrete facts- verify; O Orient to purpose; M Mind morale; P Protect the point; A Acknowledge don’t accuse; S Steer to solutions. Each step pairs with research showing how clarity, purpose, empathy, and small actions restore cooperation.

So we've been trained to sabotage our own movements from within and it worked on all of us I'm afraid! ESPECIALLY if you're marginalized. But here's how to stop it. Save these. These go in your phone now. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.

Every time I log into youtube they've made another awful change with their interface.

Swear her in.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

ah, well

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

In particular Hulu and Disney

Reminder that Disney owns ABC. So a great way to boycott is cancelling any subscriptions you have.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I'm not talking about them forcing their reporters to do only certain kinds of positive stories like the right seems to want to do. I'm talking actual fair reporting. :(

Can't we get some of the liberal billionaires to buy some of the major newspapers and you know let them do fair reporting?

This is Finny. He doesn’t go chasing waterfalls. He carefully studies their timing and arrives in advance. 14/10 very impressive (TT: jordancain70)

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

As a colleague mentioned yesterday, Gamergate is one of the five most significant developments in US politics since the Cold War

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

It’s ok to put the phone down.
