Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Hang this in the Louvre

I was just saying the same thing to a friend. How does this not turn violent? Either from outside the US or from within.

This! @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social and @katieporteroc.bsky.social - do it, do it!

And we need Liz Warren on Bluesky! Stat!

What people don’t realize is that you don’t HAVE to watch that thing, you can just read.

To absolutely no one’s surprise except MAGA voters, the Trusk administration continues to gleefully screw everyone , including their own base

I’m worried that the exodus from Meta and Twitter is what they want. To isolate us from each other.

Isolation is a big part of autocracy. It makes people easier to lie to and abuse.

I don’t have a global answer, but I am working on building a social media space for our podcast listeners.

Fact checking does not = control. How did we get here?

When you're too stupid to get the joke.

Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

“The books... they have me.”

Sunday snuggles.

Yes 🙌🏼
I am very much finished entertaining the 'don't block people just because they disagree' and 'here's how to tolerate your racist family around the holidays' crowd.
Debate is fine, needed, growth. Those who hate do not deserve debate or respect.

How does a woman reach a point where she will defend a known sexual predator? How does a woman default to believing the perpetrator instead of the victim?

Please remember there are billionaires spending money on outrage media to make you mad at federal civil servants instead of the Supreme Court they bought. Please save your outrage for the actual fascists.

Spitting facts.

Keep paying attention. Stay informed. Find hope!

It'll get easier...if you help yourself heal. (This insane news cycle be damned!)

Consider me green. (With envy. I'm green with envy.)

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back.

I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.
