This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

I don’t know, I think I just…don’t wanna watch a movie about Michael Jackson.

FRIDAY: Workers, students, and families will be calling out of work, walking out of school, and refusing to shop as part of the nationwide day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can help make a difference on May Day: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i...

So what I’m hearing is every school in America needs a ballroom.

The further Putinisation of America. The regime seizes upon crime to justify its own criminality and supress opposition.

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

Please tell me Claude is down because so many people are trying to sign up and not because they’ve been assassinated 🙏🏻

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

The most beautiful dog I’ve ever seen is adoptable from Fulton Animal Services, 1251 Fulton Ind Blvd #Atlanta ask for “Egberto” - 3yo/50lbs #Husky mix

Just got chased out of a Liberal group for pointing out the misogyny of critiquing Erika Kirk for her clothes or the acceptability of her grief process, if anyone wants to know how feminism is going 😔

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Wait Amelia Earhart was the pilot of the Lolita Express??????

Black women are the actual canaries, if you haven’t figured that out. bsky.app/profile/darl...

GOP Summary: Groypers vs. Gropers The Groypers are mad at the Gropers for being Gropers and not Groypy enough to manifest their race war fantasies. The Gropers don’t like the Groypers but need them as pawns to keep stoking the threat of race wars. You’re all caught up.

There should be a newspaper that is good.

Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small, Found just two sad dolls wrapped up for them all. For The Donald had come, with a pout and a frown, And trimmed back their Christmas from twelve gifts to one (then back down). #donnytwodolls #trump #tarriffs

Heading down to my Little Free Art Gallery to try and save some of the 19 dogs at risk of euthanasia in #atlanta. 19 dogs will be euthanized if not adopted or fostered by Friday at 7pm. Don't call, just GO to: 1251 Fulton Industrial Blvd NW, Atlanta, 30336 #dogsky #art #painting

An internet person accused me of using AI to make my art. It’s the meanest thing anyone’s ever said to me. #catsky #siamese #artsky #artist #watercolor #painting

I painted this shelter pup who needs a home NOW or else he gets euthanized 😭 if you’re in #Atlanta you can find him at Lifeline Fulton County Animal Services, I call him Abey but his shelter name is “Alaskan Bull Worm” #dogsky #art #painting #artist #watercolor #shelterdog

Ask Marco Rubio about the detention of this Cuban national.

My recommendation to other white men is that if you fear being outshadowed by a woman or a person of color, aim to become so unambiguously excellent you cannot be ignored.

My brain just exploded. #severance

‘Ted Lasso’ has been renewed for Season 4. Here's why that's bad news for Democrats.

If you were vaccinated for measles between 1968-89, should you get another shot? ✅ you’re traveling internationally ✅ you're a healthcare worker, student, or immunocompromised ✅ you're in close contact with at-risk individuals ✅ there’s a local outbreak

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security. More of this please.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

See you Thursday ✌️
