White text on a black background that reads: Grief is a form of patriotism, Too- a Fourth of July reflection. Today, some of us won’t be waving flags or watching fireworks. Not because we hate our country, but because we love it too much to pretend everything is fine. Grief is a form of patriotism, too. Lament is an honest form of love.

My mood today …

A friend of mine did this for my 50th and I still laugh when I think about it!!

This photo made my day ❤️

Lawrence O’Donnell does a great job night in and night out without dropping an FBomb. It is a level of control unavailable to me.

A lot of your activism is wasted because it is more focused on distancing yourself from whoever you used to be than it is on figuring out how to be useful.

Look, we believe you that you grew. Stop worrying about your old tweets getting leaked and focus on keeping your neighbors alive.

Episcopal Church refuses to resettle white Afrikaners, citing moral opposition The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

True facts are true

It’s time to elect better, smarter and more courageous politicians.

So which Dem Senators are gonna betray us in the Screw American Voters Everywhere (SAVE) Act?

The fact that we have beg any Dem in Congress not to vote for this is insane.

They should be telling the GOP to fuck off on instinct.

THIS would be the time for Cory Booker to filibuster for real.

Skeedaddler took me OUT immediately I may not recover

#HandsOff Our Benefits! Tax the Rich!

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020.

Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

I actually believe NO ONE should live in poverty.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Providing Nest Material for Birds: Dos & Don'ts Rufous Hummingbird by Penny Hall/Birdshare. Most birds build some kind of structure to contain their eggs and nestlings. A bird's nest may be as simple as a nighthawk's or Killdeer's depression on ...

It's the time of year when I see articles telling folks to put pet fur out for bird nesting. The Cornell ornithology lab does not recommend this! Flea/tick treatments & shampoos can be toxic, long fur can entangle chicks, etc. There are much better alternatives: www.allaboutbirds.org/news/providi...

“Never quit” sounds great, but sometimes, you gotta quit. Be willing to say, “this isn’t what I thought it was,” or “this doesn’t appeal to me anymore.”

Remember that you can quit “the thing” without quitting on yourself.

Remember that persistence and fluidity can coexist.

Checking in to see if any white people have been fired from @msnbc.com ?

Psst: 24-hour boycotts ALONE do nothing - if they don't change action permanently. If you boycott a company for a day but then just continue right on consuming at the same level you did before and from the same places, it does nothing. Let it be a first step in changing your actions moving forward.

It is obscenely racist and a form of genocide whitewashing to act like two dead Israeli children is earth shattering news while actively ignoring or justifying the 20,000+ Palestinian children viciously and violently exterminated by the Israeli state

Seeing llamas/alpacas in South America is one of my dreams!

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

This is the Mozart-ful tweet I’ve seen in a while.

Meta Just Laid Off 3,600 People with nothing but a cold, soulless email. No matter how loyal you are, they can drop you tomorrow. So, take your damn vacations. If your kids are sick, be there for them. No matter how hard you grind or how dedicated you are, these companies aren’t loyal to you.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Crucial thing you must do right now is strengthen and expand your community. Serve together. Try a new activity. See each other in person. Over on the other site I am continually struck by how the rabid intensity does not actually reflect community or connection. Only way we get through this.

It's Monday. My day off.

I called my Representative and both Senators. I was able to speak to one actual human and leave two voicemails.

Do you know what that means?

It means their phone systems are no longer overwhelmed.

Keep calling. Do not let them get complacent.

I couldn’t finish the series, almost had a panic attack. And that was the first Trmp go around. I don’t think I can watch it this time around. Still one of my favorite books tho

Literally same!!!!
