I hope that's what he means!

What do we think he means about "coarsening & degradation of American life"? More people say fuck in public vs 10 years ago so now we can't hold pedophiles & human traffickers accountable?

You don't need any more information to decide against finding DHS & ICE. Vote no. Actually represent us.

I'm your constituent & I've noticed you keep enabling everything the administration is doing. Maybe stop voting in favor of Trump's nominees? Maybe actually block funding for something? Words are cheap. DO SOMETHING

Just finished The Once and Future Queen by @paulalafferty.bsky.social

Really liked it! Totally forgot until literally the LAST PAGE that it's the first book in a trilogy! 😢

At least Tammy Duckworth & Danny Davis have functioning voice mail. (With thanks as always to @5calls.org for contact info & verbiage)

Another national crisis, another day of Dick Durbin and his lack of voice mail access outside of business hours. I'm sure my strongly-worded message on his website will be very effective.

Sign me up, I'll pay for someone who needs it

I got this one too, one for me & one for my sister-in-law, based on all the raves about it last year. I have high hopes & lots of scone & shortbread recipes ready.

Coward.

*on his website

The fact that you can't even leave him a voice mail outside of office hours is a pretty clear indication of how much he cares about his constituents. I just typed out message of his f-ing website.

Java would never

Just to clarify, this is me giving Roberts a HUGE benefit of the doubt & imagining for a millisecond that he's not just a racist.

I've never understood his position but it finally clicked for me: he's like the doctors 200 years ago who refused to wash their hands when Semmelweis told them to because "doctors are gentlemen & gentlemen's hands are clean." So they just kept freely spreading germs & killing people.

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

Awesome. Thanks for clarifying!

I agree Pritzker is infinitely better than Newsom. Just maybe don't trivialize the justifiable criticisms of Newsom as "turning up your nose".

Why is she the only one they've locked up? Did the others all sign it?

So military jets flying over Chicago sure hits different this year. They're just practicing for the annual Air & Water show. Seems great

I think it's a hermit crab.

So interesting that the first two cities where Trump has deployed his goons are run by Black women.

Maybe not technically a series but some of Robin McKinley's books are interconnected. The Hero & the Crown / the Blue Sword are a duology!

Stupid terfs.

Trans women are women.

No

Downloading all my Kindle books is a great way to feel things about my TBR pile.

How many "oopsie, we didn't mean to fire THOSE people" are we doing?

When I was doing this yesterday, the option read "Heather's Kindle" but the files were actually going into my Downloads folder.

THIS is what I want from tech.
