There is no evidence that remote teleworkers are less productive than those who report to a centralized office. No less engagement, no less employee development. Just a reduction in HR related complaints. Companies with office leases that expired after March 2020 haven’t leased new office space. Hmm
Looks like RFK Jr. has been helping with his mitochondria.
Chelsea, thank you for always highlighting the difference between the biology of having a child and the reality of parenting a child. These two things should always be done simultaneously, and far too often they are not.
Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere… But I really don’t know clouds at all.
45 already bestowed the honor on Rush Limbaugh—an adulterer, drug addict, and wrecker of minds—and Jim Jordan, a co-conspirator in a decades-long molestation cover-up, so the award’s already devalued. Who more appropriate than Rudy Giuliani as the final nail, so to speak? Release the Epstein Files.
Nate Silver posting on X to warn Democrats about “Blueskyism” is the clearest sign yet that he’s not shaping the discourse, he’s chasing it. The platform itself is a fascist-adjacent echo chamber, and his presence there says more about his impotence than his importance. #DataWithoutDignity

‘Imagine’ and its pro-communist messaging wasn’t even ‘coded’. Lyrics like “Imagine no possessions” and “Imagine there’s no countries” hint at a world without borders or private ownership. “Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds” “Working Class Hero” “Give Peace a Chance” Ummmm #bullshit is right.
Now we just need the Secret Service records to prove her unsubstantiated allegations or get her statement under oath with penalty of perjury attached. Funny how you started with “Bill’s in the Epstein Files” and then flipped to a YouTube video, but you do you. #Bullshit
should they be trusted to advise another party? First they profited from hate and chaos, and now they profit from dissent—and the only constants are their ideas still suck and they’re still profitting. 4/4
outside their shrinking base [e.g., the Southern Strategy, opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment, and anti-immigration rhetoric have long been criticized as exclusionary tactics]. If they couldn’t see or stop what was happening to their own party, why 3/4

I was thinking… When 47 reduces prescription drug prices by 1500%, I’m going to ask my doctor for two more prescriptions to supplement my retirement income. Combined with my DOGE and tariff rebates, I might have to increase my estimated tax payment in the 4th quarter. #47Lies #25thAmendment

to reach Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, is by boat or helicopter from St. Thomas. Also, Bill has had a 24/7 Secret Service detail since 1992, so you can stop with the bullshit, Bill’s never been 3/4 #ReleaseTheFiles #EpsteinFiles
HIV/AIDS tour with Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker. Bill has been to St. Thomas twice, once in 1997 on vacation, and again in 2018 after a hurricane, when he toured recovery efforts with the Clinton Foundation. The only way 2/4 #ReleaseTheFiles #EpsteinFiles
Actually, the Clinton Foundation used Jeffrey Epstein’s plane multiple times for trips to Africa, so yes, Bill’s name appears in the flight logs. He flew on Epstein’s jet at least 17 times between 2002 and 2003, including a high-profile 1/4 #ReleaseTheFiles #EpsteinFiles
I was thinking… If Marjorie Taylor Greene can weaponize sexual imagery on the House floor without consequence, what stops a Democrat from doing the same? This Labor Day, let’s honor America’s most famous ‘working girl’ by displaying her modeling portfolio in Congress—then release the Epstein Files.

There were two actions referenced in my post—the one Tulsi took and the one I proposed. Your comment left it unclear which you meant. Tulsi is, unequivocally, an enemy. Thank you for the clarification. Take care.

Funny how those furthest from the blast radius are always the loudest about who should walk into it. If you’re not the one being asked to risk your life, maybe sit with that before calling others ‘enemies.’ Some of us still believe loyalty means protecting people, not sacrificing them for optics.
concerns, & I’ll be voting in the midterms. Beyond that, I’m focused on spreading awareness—not feeding the illusion that signatures can sway a regime built on spectacle & suppression. That said, I respect your choice to fight in whatever way feels right to you, & I wish you strength in it. 3/3
reckless. They reflect a broader authoritarian impulse: weaponizing institutions to punish dissent & reward loyalty. History warns us about the dangers of “creating lists.” I won’t contribute to that dynamic, even under the guise of resistance. I’ve called my representatives to register my 2/3
In my view, petitions are performative at best when confronting a regime that’s already shown contempt for democratic norms. Tulsi Gabbard’s recent actions, publicly posting the names of intelligence officials, including an undercover CIA officer, without consulting the Agency, aren’t just 1/3
It’s time for covert CIA operatives to grab their ‘go bag’ and go. Tulsi obviously has everything under control and doesn’t need or value their contributions. No need to risk everything for nothing. #Topsy-TurvyTulsi #TulsiTensions #GabbyGabbard #NoSecretsTulsi
It depends on what the definition of ‘golfing’ is…
Using code language like ‘non-elite’ when we are talking Christian-affiliated schools like Liberty University, Brigham Young University, Baylor University, and Oral Roberts University is disingenuous. Republicans in Congress put their faith above their oath of office, disqualifying them for service.
He bet on proximity to power and lost. To frame the FBI raid as retaliation against a “prominent Trump critic” skips the part where Bolton helped build the very machinery he now claims to oppose. Integrity isn’t retroactive. It’s measured in the choices made when power is within reach. 3/3
Pre-45’s administration, Bolton wasn’t pushed out for principle. He was shut out by serious national security and diplomatic personnel who saw through his play. When 45’s administration opened the door, Bolton walked in willingly. 2/3
The idea that John Bolton represents some unimpeachable standard of integrity ignores the arc of his own political gamble. Before he was a critic, he was an enabler—convinced he could manipulate 45 to advance his own foreign policy agenda. 1/3
When someone has real answers to your questions and solutions to your problems, they won’t want to talk about anything else. Silence about their own values is not strategy. It’s cowardice. #DemandClarity #NoMoreDeflection 2/2
I was thinking… If your elected representatives are talking more about their opponent’s beliefs than their own, they’re not leading, they’re deflecting, or worse, lying. #DemandClarity #NoMoreDeflection 1/2
3 coalitions I built from scratch, then burned down for moral clarity; 2 public apologies that turned into invitations for solidarity; and 1 refusal that drew a line so clean, even the institutions flinched
Lorne’s silence isn’t new. But the grace notes are missing. This year, the exits feel less like transitions & more like evictions. So the feeling is different, & cast members have described being blindsided or receiving the news in impersonal ways. The tone is colder, the silence louder. #SNL
Sounds like you’ve become the Michelin-star buffet for the local pollinator elite. 🌟 Honestly, if you start charging admission and offering tiny pollen cocktails, you might just corner the market on insect tourism. You’re one nectar-scented velvet rope away from launching Club Buzz 🐝✨ Enjoy 😉
Both figuratively and literally, excellent work. #NationalGuard #FreeDC
access to my life based on those moral judgments until my last breath. If this resonates with you, if you’ve drawn similar lines in your own life, know that you’re not alone. We’re building something rooted in refusal, dignity, and care. #EthicalLines #WeDrawLines #Resist #RiseUp 2/2
Racism, misogyny, and bigotry are not legitimate political discourse. Rape and sex trafficking aren’t political. All of these are moral evaluations and all of these are amoral behaviors. I will, without exception, restrict #EthicalLines #WeDrawLines #Resist #RiseUp 1/2
Nicolle has never reckoned with her role, as a political strategist, in destroying democracy, and now she wants us to have “faith” when “facts” aren’t convenient. Here are some facts: Bigotry, racism and misogyny were never ‘political strategies,’ and their quiet use is why we are here now. 4/4
intellectually dishonest when placed against the backdrop of current political realities. It asks the audience to suspend critical judgment in favor of a vague optimism, even as the very institutions it invokes are being hollowed out or weaponized. 3/4
journalists can say and do. The Constitution will protect the rights of everybody. If you can agree that most people want those things our show is about trying to bend the arc toward that end result.” Her commentary’s appeal to “faith” in democratic resilience, while emotionally comforting, is 2/4
Has anyone else listened to @nicollewallace.bsky.social’s recent ad for Deadline: White House on MSNBC? “I think that you have to have faith that in the end it will all be okay. That no matter who wins a presidential election we will live in a democracy. The First Amendment will govern what 1/4
Even when the shadows stretch long and the path feels lost, there’s light waiting just beyond the dark. Hope isn’t loud, it flickers, whispers, insists. Look past the doubt, past the ache. The light is real. And once you see it, you’ll know it was always there. #Photography #Hope #Resist #RiseUp
Schumer and Jeffries are complicit with both. #ChildrenMatterMost 2/2
@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social need to decide what is more important, the money they receive from AIPAC or the lives of children in Gaza. At this point, the two organizations most responsible for the deaths of innocent children are AIPAC and the NRA. #ChildrenMatterMost 1/2
It’s been 6 days since 47 last played golf, and with no outings scheduled through August 31, he’s on track for one of his longest breaks in years. For context: 47 has averaged a round of golf every 5–6 days throughout his presidency and post-presidency. #WhereIsWaldo?
No events, no cameras, just bruises and silence. Trump’s not missing, he’s managing the optics. Who knows better than 47 that ugly doesn’t play well live? #47Bruise #WhereIs47 #47CVI #47NoEventsNoCamerasJustTruths
Mocking 47’s “people ask me…” isn’t just parody, it’s a mirror. No names, no proof, just vibes. If you’re gonna play oracle, at least let us pick the fortune cookie. #WeSeeYou
America under JD Vance? Picture a country where the coal rolls back, the vowels stretch out, & every policy comes with a folksy anecdote about a cousin named Thiel. Hope you like your populism served with a venture capital garnish & White House couches covered in plastic for their own protection.
Is Lorne Michaels his generation’s Ellen DeGeneres? Asking for a cast member who just found out they were fired via silence. • Heidi Gardner (8 seasons) • Michael Longfellow (3 seasons) • Devon Walker (3 seasons) • Emil Wakim (1 season) No rhyme, no reason, no rationale. #SNL

That kind of procedural delay can have irreversible consequences. 4/4
Defiance here isn’t about optics, it’s about survival. When compliance risks institutional harm, resistance becomes necessary. We’ve seen this before: the Supreme Court allowed board member terminations to proceed without first ruling on their legality. 3/4
That said, I do think it’s worth examining how different branches of government interpret their responsibilities. The commission’s refusal to seat nominees, despite a court order, raises questions about institutional defiance and selective accountability. 2/4
Good question. I wasn’t commenting on law enforcement per se, but on judicial procedure, specifically, how Georgia law mandates a pause when an appeal is filed. So the judge’s action isn’t discretionary or ideological; it’s legally automatic. 1/4
Doesn’t Georgia law require the pause because the appeal was filed? This isn’t a win, just a procedural process in the works…Right?
Dividends are down, and buybacks are masking the retreat. The market isn’t ignoring reality, it’s delaying its reckoning. We’re fucked. 2/2
Joey, this reflects strong productivity in high-margin sectors (tech, finance, logistics) and aggressive fiscal stimulus, but masks regional and class-based disparities. We’re not watching a rally, we’re watching a redistribution. GDP is up, but per capita gains are thinning. 1/2
When pundits who cheered the spectacle now lament “marinating in sewage,” it’s not catharsis—it’s branding. We’re all tired, but some of us are tired from living in the wreckage, not profiting off its narration. Cake won’t clean what they helped spill. #SorryNotSorry
If I understand what Joey is saying, not really. Durable goods prices usually fall, so any rise, especially the sharpest in decades, signals real strain. Tariffs are distorting costs, and this rebound suggests deeper economic friction, not healthy growth. It’s a warning, not a win.
They’re not campaigning because they don’t think they’ll need to. When power feels post-electoral, held by courts, donors, and chaos, polls and protests become irrelevant. The quiet part? They’re acting like elections are optional now. When elections vanish, silence becomes a form of consent. #FAFO
If instead it was pushback against prosecutorial overreach, it suggests the grand jury found the felony charge disproportionate, signaling that the prosecutor failed to justify escalating a minor act of protest into a serious criminal offense. #SubwaySam #SandwichGate 3/3
If this was jury nullification, it implies that jurors rejected the legal premise that a tossed sandwich constituted a genuine threat to a federal officer—despite the officer wearing a bulletproof vest and the presence of video evidence. #SubwaySam #SandwichGate 2/3
I hope you and the #SistersInLaw will explore this case through the lens of jury nullification versus justifiable pushback against prosecutorial overreach. #SubwaySam #SandwichGate 1/3

Yeah, the cloud names threw me too. Not official, just informal nicknames from a loose coalition of citizen scientists who’ve been informally naming variants to make public communication clearer. But I hear you, it’s a strange choice given how much cloud & chem trail paranoia is already out there.
Yes, Democrats enabled Gaza’s horror. But abandoning the field doesn’t protect the vulnerable, it buries them. Rage is righteous. Strategy must be sharper. We need more than disgust. We need leverage. Coalition building is the key, and compromise isn’t weakness it’s political reality. #FAFO 2/2
Newsom betraying trans & unhoused folks isn’t a reason to shove him into the GOP, it’s a reason to organize, demand, expose. Protest is power. But protest without precision just hands the wheel to those who want us erased. #FAFO 1/2
While the pandemic phase of COVID is technically over, the virus itself is not. COVID-19 continues to circulate globally, with new variants like Stratus (XFG) and Nimbus (NB.1.8.1) driving fresh waves of infection. What’s changed is the severity and social response. Ready or not here it comes again.

we are being hunted. Immigrants are not being processed, they are being brutalized. The unhoused are not being sheltered, they are being criminalized. Any political strategy that treats this as a messaging challenge is complicit. Politics is strategy not emotion. #FAFO 3/3
I respect your posts, but ignoring the difference between rhetoric and action in politics is a sure way to lose. Newsom is not perfect, and the South is not misunderstood. The South is actively choosing cruelty. Trans people & the LGBTQ+ community at large are not being debated, #FAFO 2/3
Before we push anyone out, let me ask something from you: Please describe a political message you find acceptable that works in: • Alabama • Arkansas • Florida • Georgia • Kentucky • Louisiana • Mississippi • Missouri • North Carolina • South Carolina • Tennessee • Texas #FAFO 1/3
Pete Buttigieg: GENOCIDE SIDEWAYS Sara Jacobs: IRON DOME DILEMMA Elissa Slotkin: PRIMETIME PALESTINE Jake Auchincloss: WEST BANK BARS Their complicity, and by proxy our complicity, has been disgusting all along, but this game has made me sick to my stomach. Sorry, I’m out.
It takes an articulated strategy: messaging that’s morally honest and tactically effective in hostile terrain. Still, I respect your stance. Good luck with the work you’re doing. 2/2
Got it. If the goal is to reaffirm moral clarity without engaging strategy, then mission accomplished. I’m working on something else, trying to reach people who aren’t already convinced, without diluting the truth. That takes more than stating what should be obvious. 1/2
I get the impulse to burn it all down. But I’m trying to speak to those who still have a sliver of conscience left, who might act if they’re shown the cost of their silence. If we lose the ability to distinguish between the complicit and the captive, we risk becoming the thing we’re fighting. 2/2
Calling people “dumb hogs” might feel cathartic, but it erases the complexity of resistance. Jim Crow didn’t end because people were shamed, it ended because people organized, risked their lives, and built coalitions across impossible lines. 1/2
The 2nd Amendment protects the ‘right to bare arms’ but the Federal government controls who can manufacture and sell gun powder. The solution is simple, and no one needs to take anyone’s guns. We just need to elect the #LeadersWeDeserve.
