We're moving into spring. There's active night time severe warnings up, and.... the radar in Abilene has been dead for 7 hours.

This Musk thing isn't so great.

You need to be better at your job. There isn’t enough pushback from you for this coup.

Read the Resignation Letter From Hagan Scotten Hagan Scotten, an assistant U.S. attorney, wrote to Emil Bove, acting deputy attorney general, refusing to drop the case against Mayor Eric Adams.

The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation - Hagan Scotten - resigns from SDNY.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to me.”

Thank you, Senator Schumer. This is the energy I appreciate! 💙👊

This is not a drill. Please call. 💙👊

I hope that everyone that migrated here is making calls today to their representatives on this and the OMB freeze.

Got a much needed mental break via the park system and so thankful to them, the rangers, and everyone who honors and protects these places. ❤️ They will need our support these next few years along with so many others. Don’t give up and don’t give in. ❤️👊

January 12, 2025 Almost ten weeks after the 2024 election, North Carolina remains in turmoil from it.

HCR once again illuminates the despotism of Republicans in America today, fully on display in North Carolina. At what point is the majority going to have enough of this fuckery? @hcrichardson.bsky.social

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me.

In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

Happy winter solstice. ❄️❤️❄️

Very excited to root on some of my favorite people next week. ❤️

I hope she never goes away. We need her.

I’m tired of people blaming Dems when we are staring down an obvious narcissist and grifter. I do think criticism can be valid but such broad generalizations are incorrect.

They do message— but the press ignores it.

These two paragraphs — by John Avlon, a former journalist turned Democratic candidate in New York's 1st Congressional District— come closer to describing legacy media's portion of the blame than just about anything I have read. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-i-saw...

In this comic, people who aren't comfortable being constantly harassed tell the editorial writers of The Atlantic to fuck off, and then they live happily ever after

This hurts my heart. My daughter is 12, and she’s already dealing with shitheads at school parroting the “your body, my choice” bullshit.

The next 4 years are going to be terrible as we witness what is about to be normalized.
