Fantastic! So much light.

(I knew R. Amelia Wolf when she was a child and young woman. I am so not surprised to see that she is on the front lines.)

Special place in Hell

We’re alive, and you’re in bliss. That’s a lot of good right now.

I think there’s a typo in your skeet because it should read fabulous selfie with grand dog.

I had an expert write an AI report that hallucinated citations. It hadn’t occurred to me that we need to check experts’ work for that. Fool me once….

JD Vance has no real principles or courage.

Thank you for the masterclass on proper use of alt text.

He doth protest way too much.

He never received an allowance, so it must be the good genes. White else could it be?

I believe there’s a typo, and it should read, “Incel cuck with no cabinet position….”

I don’t think media is pussyfooting. At best, it’s mere cowardice or capitulation. But it seems closer to capture or even collaboration.

Well, they could also be secret police. Or cosplay Nazis.

Gosh. I haven’t gotten to file a civil rights class action against the Trump admin since the last time they came to Portland in 2020.

I feel like she’s also playing the long game and laying down things that may build a foundation—if we survive—for the future.

I feel like I need to listen more closely to the voice in my head that says don’t read her effing replies. Or maybe it needs to scream?

So on brand.

“How can you possibly deny me? I’m wasting away.”

“Not all Jews, just Ashkenazi.”

Deep understanding? Via, like, Grok, or…?

Mistakes were made, and the passive voice was used.

Could you find your backbone, @nytimes.com?

I Question America. On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass spoke in Rochester, New York at an event commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

It is easy to fall into despair this 4th of July. And when despair overtakes me, I look for wisdom. One of the best sources is @sifill.bsky.social

Her latest on 4th of July is both clear-eyed and wise. A great read for those of us who are struggling.

Screen shot of an email from the Social Security Administration lauding passage of the Trump death bill.

The idea that taxes are evil took root with Ronald Reagan. Let’s see how much seniors enjoy “tax relief” when our public structures crumble and our safety net fails.

Also, the Republicans are fascists.

I feel like all Trumpkins should undergo purity testing.
Make them take genetic tests to prove that they’re 100 percent white.

I’m guessing there’s more than a small chance that she’s part of the 65 million.

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

I’m old enough to remember when Judge Roberts claimed to be a mere umpire. Good times.

She is brilliant. Always.
