“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age
VENEZUELA DEFEATS THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE HOME THEIR FIRST WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP 🇻🇪🏆
* grumbles about the point of party whips if they're not going to whip *
Chag Purim Sameach! Wishing our Jewish neighbors celebrating in NY-14 and beyond a festive and joyous Purim 🎉
The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!
I promise to re-up my subscription to my favorite soccer journalists (especially the independent ones) if a Boycott happens. Change takes mutual aid too.
Rachael, I'm teaching a college class in May called "Women's Soccer and Social Change" and would love for you to speak to the students about this project over zoom. Please feel free to DM if you're interested!
Another reason to take party platforms more seriously. What does it mean to be a democrat? Or a republican?
Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.
Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.
Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.
I often wonder about all those "can I have your shirt/cleats" etc signs and if they put pressure on the players etc.
Also, I know Mewis et al always talk about the hell of moving in the off-season. UHaul should ne a sponsor at this point lol
What types of fan/supporter interactions do you enjoy? Have you ever had a problem with fan expectations? How can teams facilitate this comfortably?
What can teams/the league do to help you at the end of the season? [how do you want teams/ league to handle changes publicly? Cough Sheridan cough]
You've already disappointed me by voting against the trans community, how about trying to redeem yourself by leading the impeachment process?
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.
This! Same (chicago city council member). Voicemails were powerful because I could hear the argument better to really understand why they cared. Though I do not miss the sense of impending doom that came with hearing that the mailbox was full lol
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Abseiling on the agenda?
Annual reminder that turning right on red is a PRIVILEGE not a right. And honking at me will not make things safer.
I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing.
"That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done."
"That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."
Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.
This.
If @greenpartyni.bsky.social can make this happen in Northern Ireland, we can do this in the USA!! Their protest is working. Unless you're going to recognize my humanity AND fight for it, you don't get to march with me. Ever.
Oh you don’t have a valentine on Valentine’s Day? Some people don’t even have a groundhog on groundhogs day. Check your privilege.
Happy Friday! ♥️
He makes it all worth it
This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
CAVEAT: any government shutdown would make this longer and even more annoying so thanks America. You got this greatest democracy in the world thing down so well...
PSA to all trans folks (and everyone else but mostly trans folks): don't forget to renew your TSA precheck/global entry/whatever. I was focusing on protecting myself through birth certificate stuff (a discussion for another time) that I forgot and now holiday travel is just that much more fun!
But her emails
