I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends — not running for their lives on the very first week of school. How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?

Squeeee!!!! I’m so happy for them!

There was this podcast last night called New Heights. A guy on the Chiefs had his girlfriend on. That’s a big mood booster. You should listen.

Had dinner at a restaurant I loved this weekend. They had a Heirloom Tomato & Peach salad with champagne vinaigrette. So I re-made it for lunch today with Heirlooms, basil and grapes from the garden! 🍽️ #foodsky #homemadefood

The party of small government is currently advocating for federal troops and members of the military to patrol the streets and detain citizens. And the GOP fluffers on social media are just… fine with that?

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

I lost one of my most favorite people yesterday. This is my grandma in 1998 on a gondola in Venice. I took it with my camera, days before turning 18. Words could never encapsulate how much she meant to me. There are some people in life who are a part of your soul and she was part of mine.

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged £9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but £17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

New rule: no criticizing the way others choose to resist unless you have a better, actionable idea and kind, constructive feedback. New ideas are good! Performative contrarianism is useless.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

Not a smart move. Get the colonoscopy Rob.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Nobody said it would be easy, but Republicans found a way to cut taxes for the rich while taking away your healthcare. A story of true heroism.

Kamala was going to give first-time homebuyers $20K. She believed in women's rights. She would not have been selling a gold phone or a gold watch or crypto. She would not have unleashed masked men on entire communities. She would not have started another war. They REALLY 🤬 up with Disaster Don 2.0

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.
