I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

baby steps. Let’s keep taking them!

Hey, hey you, that feeling you got when you were marching and rallying alongside millions of other Americans. That glee you're getting from liking every damn post even if you couldn't make it out. That's hope. And may it spur you to more action.
We're stronger together. Always.

happy 10 year anniversary to one of the most prophetic tweets of all time @cavalorn.bsky.social

Are you not entertained?!

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

Need to finish that thought: Queer books don't lead the banned lists now because they are already gone. #literacies

If you hate being called a Nazi the best way to prevent it is to stop acting like a Nazi.

Everyone shut up! Don’t move. No one jinx this!

🚨SOURCES: Walters out as State Supt. FOX 25 learned Ryan Walters is expected to resign Friday to take another job. Gov Stitt is rumored to be eyeing former Rep. Mark McBride for the job. McBride tells me he hasn’t discussed it with the gov but would ‘probably’ accept the job… #oklahoma #oklaed

History rhymes a bit too well sometimes.

This is an important time to remember that responsibility is not a zero-sum game — recognizing one person’s fault does not necessarily diminish another person’s.

The Trump administration is fascist. And ABC cynically caved and abandoned American values for money. Both are worthy of your contempt.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Happy Wednesday. And remember:

I am sick to my core at the response to today’s tragedies.

A gun enthusiast and bigot was murdered by gun. Dozens of teens were wounded in yet another school shooting, several critically.

Guess which one is getting attention & flags at half-mast. It sure as shit isn’t the kids.

I am a Texan- a daughter of women going back generations.

State politicians have done all sorts of stupid shit my whole life, but this is the first time I’ve ever been ashamed to be from TX.

Today, there were two active shooter alerts that appear to be hoaxes that targeted colleges: Villanova University and University of Tennessee at Chattanooga; and two bomb threats that targeted high schools: Hidden Valley High School (Roanoke, Virginia) and University School of Nashville.

The Tyranny of Merit. Another must read book. I’m only about half way through it, but wow. Such a great way to think about current moves of politics and power.

Everything hurts. My soul. My mind. My hope.

Today I’m gonna rest. Tomorrow I resist again.

What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken Congress?

Our corrupt Supreme Court?

Our ridiculous buffoon President?

Finally read The Book Thief for the first time. (I know! Late to the party.) The story of a girl, her friends & family, just trying to live life while shit falls apart around them hits hard today.

For the first time in my academic career, I took off for June. No classes. No papers or research. I slept in and hung out with my kids instead. 💯 recommend for those who can.

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

I live in a super red state, surrounded by MAGA…uh, enthusiasts. But on Saturday so many of the little towns showed out for #nokings. We weren’t putting up big numbers, but I’m so proud of the dozens who rallied in little towns all over the state.
