Just want to chime in and agree with all the people that have been saying that it is not stupid or frivolous to make art even though it feels like the world is going crazy right now.

On the contrary, it's books and movies and music and art that gets us through the hard times – so we need it now.

Be gentle with yourself and with others. Yes take it one day at a time - and if you need to take it one minute at a time that's okay too.

We all need to take care of ourselves. 💖

We aren’t just living in dystopian times, but in disgraceful, shameful, and dangerous times. Dystopian stretches our reality into some surreal space, but here and now is uglier and base prime evil. A guttural, feral place that is indescribably frightening. Like a declawed cat that keeps scratching

realizing they won’t get this call tonight is rather heartbreaking

“Courage is contagious.”

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

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.

My guide to remaining sane for the next 4 years & beyond

1. Limit social media/media & internet exposure. 20 minutes a day max.

2. Go outside. Move your body. Take care of your health.

3. Experience joy & happiness. Protect your energy.

4. Organize politically. Get involved locally.

I’ll repost this every time I see it.

We need some better language for pushing back against what the administration is doing. They’re not “ending DEI.”

No. They're firing women and people of color in the military.
They’re forbidding whole fields of research.
They’re erasing trans people from existence.

If you don’t already like Zelenskyy enough:

He said "fuck you bitch (suka, blyat)" to JD Vance during their argument.

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

Vance blew up that meeting on purpose

Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media. What is it? A grassroots effort is asking American consumers to refrain from making purchases at major retailers for one day in February.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I have a feeling against all odds Bing is going to outperform Google.

After 11 years, my time at HuffPost is coming to an end tomorrow.

Last week, I learned HuffPost would be ending its dedicated coverage of energy and climate change.

So, I took a buyout.
