It’s the worst.

I learned who Barbara Jordan is tonight and I feel alive again. Thanks @pbs.org.

Until retirement. If you can.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

2 bills up for votes in House State & Local next Wednesday. Banning government support of Pride emblems and celebrations and using honorifics to misgender trans people at school. Take action with one campaign at ujoin.co/campaigns/42... .

Olympic athletes retiring at 28 while a slippery shower is a direct threat to 1/3 of the U.S. legislative body.

Pretty much what I thought every time an AI commercial popped up during the Super Bowl.

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

anyone else havin trouble compartmentalizing?

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh.

And now I’m trying not to cry at my desk. 😭

I am 15 months into parenting and I already dread the day he spreads his wings and flies from our doorstep to make his own way.

Truly, I do not entertain any anti-climate change bullshit in my life anymore.

DHS keeps making false claims about people. It's part of a broader pattern Trump administration officials have falsely linked Alex Pretti and Renee Macklin Good to domestic terrorism. It's part of a larger pattern by the Department of Homeland Security.

It always did. ❤️‍🩹

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

What the…? Grim. If you haven’t been riled up yet, this should get you going.

I know trailer trash when I see it.

I am not ready for all this.

Read the whole thread.

I beg to disagree.

So Calvin and Hobbes hits way different as a dad. 🥹❤️

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Unhinged behavior from a government agency.
