Thank you!
For the love of all that is good and holy in the year of our chaos 2026 I beg of youβ¦
Please use the wonderful technology that is headphones while on public transportation.
Thank you for coming to my Ruth talk.
Thank you!!
Thank you!
I guess keeping kids from being killed at school isnβt politically correct.
Then again, they donβt stop kids from being killed at school here in the States either.
I am so excited and so honored to be alongside these amazing people!
Yβall. They replaced Gregory Bovino with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem with Markwayne Mullin so the new season of The Fascist looks just as bad as the last one.
Yeah that guy is now the DHS secretary. We went from a puppy killer to a union brawler. Cool cool cool.
The man is complaining about having rules that restrict how and if you kill people.
And so comes the return of the Boston Tea Party, latte style (Iβll take mine with almond mild and one shot of vanilla, please)
This is so important. Thank you for highlighting this. It reminds me why we are always trying to create easy entry points to our work to welcome people who canβt engage in it regularly. I am also thinking of the people whose trauma stuff makes regular engagement hard.
And Mike Johnson called these strikes βdefensiveβ. They killed these children as a defensive measure, and that is completely indefensible.
I know this has been pointed out a thousand times but Texas makes it easier to access a gun than a ballot.
If you were in line at a gun store theyβd probably figure out how to serve you.
A Toronto synagogue was damaged by gunfire on Monday night, the beginning of the Jewish holiday Purim, the police said. No one was hurt. A vehicle was reportedly seen leaving the area after the shots, but there is no description of any suspect, the police said. nyti.ms/4bqWI2L
Ecuador?
The party of *just work harder and longer* just disenfranchised people who work long and hard hours.
Meanwhile they dragged Kamala Harris mercilessly for talking about working at McDonalds. And she like⦠did that.
At some point we will have a conversation about the bogus claim that running a financially successful company equips you for leadership more broadly.
I am a gun violence prevention advocate. I want a world where no parent has to bury a child lost to violence.
I want that world and I want that in every part of the world.
I want that for my children and I want that for everyone elseβs children.
I mourn these children.
Trump is way more concerned about the gold drapes in his ballroom than the gold star families heβs made with this damn war.

As much as I want survivors to get some justice, I am not comfortable with labeling every awful thing Trump does as a distraction from the Epstein files.
Trump is capable of perpetrating all sorts of violence at the same time simply because he is one of the most violent people on the planet. 1/2
And the problem with this country is that itβs led by people who donβt think of other peopleβs children as their own.
Remember that this is a man who had the following to say after a school shooting in Iowa:
βItβs just horrible β so surprising to see it here. But we have to get over it. We have to move forward.β
People die and he just doesnβt care.

This is so fucked up
We do ourselves a disservice by not acknowledging that. Everything he does is based on violence and driven by his endless need for power.
He can do many awful things at once because that is who he is. 2/2
