The modern logistics of arranging for my kid to see a movie with friends has me longing for the good old days.

thinking once more of @starinthetitle.bsky.social's idea for us to start a podcast together called "Does the Mom Die In This One?" about media depictions of moms specifically and women over 40 more generally and the plot agency they are or are not allowed

Faith in Housing: Tell your Delegate & Senator to ACCEPT the Gov's amendments! Tell Virginia Legislators: Vote YES on Faith in Housing The finish line is here. We can’t let this bill stall now. The Governor has issued amendments to Faith in Housing (HB 1279/ SB 388) — and no...

“Republicans want more teen pregnancy” might now be the best example of how the general public cannot comprehend how extreme the GOP has become.

You, Senator, could help by standing up to Trump NOW! Shut the Senate down until impeachment.

not only is this exciting — the lt. governor’s office should, uh, contact me — but it is a not so subtle way to claim some of virginia’s most potent historical symbols — its universities and the affiliated figures, like madison and jefferson and george mason — for the libs

When Donald Trump says the Pope is “weak on crime,” he just means Leo is insufficiently racist.

Trump is running an interesting experiment in how many self-identified Christian Americans have actual religious commitments and how many are just into it because it provides a means for the socially defensible expression of bigotry bsky.app/profile/bria...

Gender anxiety from parents of boys is real and it’s far more influential than any inherent gender tendencies

A cardboard box of white frisbees with the YIMBY Action logo and the words "Yes to People - Yes to Housing"

Very excited about the YIMBY frisbees we are giving away at our Spring Picnic! actionnetwork.org/events/yimby...

I’m fed up with the direction our country is going.

So I'm running for Congress in Virginia's new 7th district to put working families first, hold the powerful accountable, and fight to build a future we can actually be proud of.

The threats themselves are impeachable.

Keep pressuring your members of Congress to honor their oaths. Don't let up.

Two weeks to remove him. Now.

Jail presidents, not children.

It’s long past time. Maybe Democratic Leadership won’t whip votes against this. Who knows.

If I were a senator or congressperson, I would not be on social media right now. Actually, I would be on social media. I would be live in an airport or on a train while on my way back to the Capitol to hold a sit-in with as many colleagues and camera crews as possible over this ****.
