I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way.

Record it and get in the way.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

May is Mental Health Awareness month and I can tell you that right now I am very aware of my mental health. Happy May!

The Senate passed SF 146 yesterday. The so-called "Taylor Swift bill" is a good piece of legislation that restricts the use of online bots for the purpose of ticket purchasing. Sen. Trone Garriott spoke in the bill's favor on the floor.

Holy shit. Please read this.

Prediction:

Today (4/9/25) registered the greatest ill gotten gains from insider trading in history.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

We got our signs ready!

Listen to Nancy, who came to talk to me about her son Charlie.

I had to tell her that as State Auditor, I couldn't help. She reminded me that as someone who cares for fellow Iowans, I could share her story.

You can also share her story.

Are you listening, Governor?

Interesting that Trump’s economic approval has fallen to basically the worst of his career and his overall approval is right around where it always is. Maybe the entire phenomenon isn’t actually about the economy? Or maybe there’s much further to fall if / when things get worse. We’re gonna find out

JPMorgan raises recession odds this year to 60%.

Groups across the country have received letters notifying them that their grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities have been canceled, raising alarms about serious harm to museums, historical sites, and a wide range of community projects.

Epidemiology, the RFK Jr. way.

Step 1: Observe outbreaks of vaccine-preventable disease

Step 2: Cut funding and staff for wildly successful Vaccines for Children program

Step 3: Observe massive outbreaks of VPDs among the most vulnerable

Step 4: Blame the vulnerable for having a “poor diet”

None of this is meant to further American interests.

It’s meant to further the oligarchs interests.

This is so true. I'm not in govt but we lost 10% of our workforce last week. Those are real people with real families who are now going into one of the worst job markets. Late stage capitalism sucks.

I got to see @robsandia.bsky.social talk at our local Dems meeting and that was totally cup filling. Biggest takeaway? Be curious, not judgmental.

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices.

This a fire sale for the oligarchy.

How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

Call it another savvy Trump inspiration: the politics of the 1930s must be matched by its economics.

The disconnect between online and in person is sometimes hard. Online, we are all very vocal about exactly how bad things are, but in person, most people either don't acknowledge it or legitimately don't think things aren't normal. How are you all dealing with it?

Hope scrolling.

I am so excited for this.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

An FDA worker confirms what I've seen out there.

CDC's entire FOIA office is gone.

The FDA's communications and web office were cut.

"The FDA as we know it is gone."

Not only is Cory Booker meeting this moment in a way I couldn't have imagined, he also successfully suppressed most Cheeto Voldemort news AND April Fools Day jokes. Well done.
