love to see this

❤️❤️❤️

y’all are great. this means a lot to katie and those artists. ❤️

completely horrifying

Republicans are waging a generalized war on science, but I think many of them don’t fully grok that RFK isn’t at war with science alone or per se: he’s at war with sick people, and of the view that only the lucky should be allowed to survive into old age. They are know nothings, he is Mengele.

Good point. 😳

i love the onion.

yeah - that’s what the last 15+ years have felt like in our state.

This is the crowd for Bernie and AOC in a state that voted for Trump by over 36% last year.

Team Trump Is Gaming Out How to Ship U.S. Citizens to El Salvador Donald Trump’s administration is talking internally about denaturalizing American citizens — and potentially sending some to El Salvador.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

It is deeply shameful for Harvard’s president and board that a faculty union filed this suit, not Harvard.

Harvard has enormous resources to hire lawyers; they have many lawyers on staff and hire top law firms.
But Harvard’s board is cowards, and now collaborators.

i try my damnedest to use my privilege as a white dude to be an advocate and asset for others who don’t have that privilege. and yeah, trying to do some good, & therapy, have kept the bitterness at bay. it’s a journey.

it’s true regarding privilege. as to anger, i
am lucky to have a supportive family and access to care who helped me through the scariest & hardest times. i really appreciate what you’re saying and am going to reflect on it. i’m grateful to be alive after all of it and hope to do some good.

thank you for your feedback. i am new to a lot of this and certainly appreciate opportunities to be a better person and reflect. there is always more to learn.

i am sorry. i wasn’t trying to disagree with you.

i became disabled as an adult (~5 years ago). can’t speak for anyone but me, but it didn’t change my moral compass or embitter me. that’s a choice i made. plenty choose a different path.

‘freedoms for me, not for thee’ hypocrisy is alive and well as it has been since the beginning

My wife’s very legal ballot is on the list as well. This is scary and entirely outside the bounds of a functioning democracy.

it is like their resolve to not admit a mistake grows stronger in direct proportion to the size of the fuck up

Ouch.

Agreed. Asset & wealth protection matters most for many players, coaches, and teams. I don’t expect any of those groups to be well attuned to the struggles of us peasants but still…

i get that piece and i agree, billionaires are gonna billionaire (together). this situation, team, and timing, is just especially shitty optics.

Trump to America as Markets Crash: 'Sometimes You Have to Take Medicine' Following Trump’s tariff announcement, stock market futures dropped again Sunday afternoon. Trump said he is not deliberately tanking the market.

Sources close to the president say Trump is tanking the economy for little reason beyond his grudges and long-running obsessions.

honestly don’t get why teams keep doing White House appearances under these circumstances. esp since the economy and our representative democracy are being tanked by current admin. what’s the incentive? proximity to power? not being a target or something?

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

this is an absolute

According to @hunterw.bsky.social, Cory Booker is now cutting into the Senate's schedule for today, meaning it's not just a performance, it's an actual act of obstruction and resistance.

This is the kind of leadership we need!
