If you voted for Trump, this is on you. If you voted third party, this is on you. If you chose not to vote at all, this is on you. Your reasons are irrelevant.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

@jbf1755.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social don't know if this thumbnail was on purpose, but yes, this is exactly how i feel.

A reverse Hallmark movie wherein the girl gives up the spirit of Christmas for the big city, a 401K and stock options that puts her in the top 1%.

Just watched The Sounds of Music. Can you believe, 1) She starred in Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music in back-to-back consecutive years ('64, '65). 2) Just read about the loss of her voice. Oy, what heartbreak.

Yesterday at the farmer’s market I saw a vendor quietly give food to someone whose EBT (SNAP) card didn’t have enough money on it. People helping people because the president and his administration refuse to. Even when court-ordered.

There is not one face of the Democratic Party. Tonight proved there are many faces, but each with a commitment to fight back against the reckless failure of the Trump regime and actually serve people. Thank goodness.

A New Yorker cover shouldn’t make me feel like this, but here it is, making me feel like this

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

You know what tonight proves more than anything else? Local elections matter. Local. Elections. Matter.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This weekend I read 200 pages of the first book of the Wicked series, plus noted down new vocab words. It's amazing how much reading you can get done in even a few undistracted hours.

Baseball, like everything else in the US, would be way more boring without any foreign-born people.

This alone is disqualifying. If this schmuck is gonna LEAVE THE CITY if he loses, he doesn't love the city enough to deserve to win.

This time last week I was sitting front row, dead center box seat at the MET Opera House. I'm not a spontaneous person and this was an impromptu trip for me. Lesson: It is very important that you do things during your time here on Earth. Be responsible but yes, go do the thing.

One danger of 47 is that it's very , very important for service members to be able to confidently take orders from their Commander-in-chief. 47 makes this impossible to do so.

"...once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country."

ingenious idea for a series

Documenting what has been lost... and what still could be found with a renewed commitment to science in America. 👇

At @nationalacademies.org annual meeting. An award recipient (92 years old, born in Slovakia) just reminded us, in her acceptance speech, “Science always survives - it even made it through Stalin. Don’t let your curiosity be diminished.” 🌼🧪📈🩺

@nelbamg.bsky.social I have my girl's night out planned for November 21. Also, the scene where she's falling, sees her younger self falling too, and reaches out to catch her. Damn. Like she's saying, "Don't worry little one, I got you, I won't let you fall." www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UOg...

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

same here

You rarely know about the group chats and meetings you’re never invited to. The same is for national security which is highly dependent on global alliances. All bills become due eventually. We will have to pay dearly for this administration.

Every place is somebody's home. And if it's their home, it means they were loved there. May God be with them.

The theme of the rally is No Kings, and it's hard to think of a more pro-American sentiment than that.

Damn.

What a life. A life very, very well lived. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

I do wonder when media outlets will get interested in ballooning everyday costs. My family's grocery bill has exploded over the past six months and - unlike when a Democrat is president - this is a non-story.

This is where we are. Say it plain. He's trying to become a dictator. Turning the military against Americans who oppose him is a pretty sure sign, folks.

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

are rich people ok? (also, this would be a good book plot)

Highly recommend Your Neighbors & Friends on Apple TV+. Great show. Relatable, likable characters. Coop, in his own funny way, is such a strong character. The sister is great. Wonderful Aunt and family member to the kids.

Funnily enough, I really liked the pinning function. Sort of a unique quirk that makes the platform standout.

Book marks, get your free book marks! (bottom right).

I have a new religious belief: At the end of your life, you're led into a room thinking you're going to have to answer to God. God comes in and says, "Actually you're going to answer to somebody else." And the person who walks in is yourself. Live life so you're not ashamed to answer to yourself.

THIS is how you strike like the French! This gives me hope! YES Chicago! General Strikes next! Let’s do this BEFORE things get worse, not wait. Volunteer, raise mutual aid @thepeoplessickdays.bsky.social @generalstrikeus.bsky.social
