I did say that Biden was not as good at connecting and communicating with the public in this media environment. Yes, he & his staff probably faced harassment and death threats. Still, my criticism of his poor media strategy is not "victim blaming." The President of the United States is not a victim.
Thank you for working against the rise of fascism. We're living in perilous awful times, and I'm glad to know about your efforts.
I expect that Mamdani & his team have been threatened and harassed, too, in this bigoted, violent, overly capitalistic country.
THIS. The Biden admin did not have a grasp of how to communicate in this environment, and they did not advertise their accomplishments as they made them. Mamdani is out in the community, giving press conferences and publishing YouTube videos on his channel-- in addition to the podcasts & interviews.
I do have milk; I don't have Shudder!
It's okay. But I'm trying to actually show up for a good movie next time, because I've only been here for bad ones ;-)
Wow, yeah!
Would love to see them down here with the alligators and mosquitos.
The first new video of 2026 (!) asks, "What happens when the movie we're watching turns its head and watches us back?" An exploration of eye contact, and what connects us to cinema and each other. Please enjoy, share, comment, and all that other good engagement stuff! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UIp...
I've done the sharing, the liking, and the commenting 😊☺️😀
Oooohhh, THANK you!! I need to watch that. OH GOOD. I dislike being lost!
Got any recommendations for matches or summaries or uh.... anything? (It's ok if you don't. I've missed a lot!)
Yes!! And I am woefully behind. I need to read all the match results since March 18 and watch some clips and stuff.
And now to frantically catch up with the happenings of AEW since mid-March... ~sheepish~
Ooohhh, wow. Inspiring!
Look at the women at NASA.
They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points.
And they are doing it all with joy.👇
Green Peace just arrived with this banner at the White House
Big crowd in front of the White House right now. Protesting against Trump’s threats to Iran
Stop the War on Iran. 6 pm at White House - sponsored by multiple organizations
Anti-War protest tonight at 6 pm at the White House. Spread the word!

If 8 million Americans can protest, Congressmembers can, too. If Democratic members can't legislate, LOUDLY PROTEST at the Capitol. Tell the world NOT IN OUR NAME. We do NOT want to destroy Iran. The world needs to know: we do not consent. #NoWar #NoKings #Congress @housedemocrats.bsky.social

I think it's interesting to hear from a staff member, what the Congressmembers are currently doing. It's conference calls, social media posts, and a few media appearances.
I asked whether other constituents have been calling. She said it's been a mixed bag. Some constituents want Rep. Frankel to go to D.C., while others want her to stay here and talk to them and answer their questions. (What do they want? Hugs???) +
We want our Congressmembers on tv, telling us what they're doing, and in D.C., on the Capitol steps or on the House & Senate floors, proclaiming they're ready to vote and prevent this attack. We want to see them LOUDLY PROTEST. + #NoKings #NoWar #Congress
I spoke with a staff member in my Rep's local office. They said House Democrats have been on conference calls with Leader Jeffries, discussing what they can do. I said Democrats want Congressmembers to be visible in D.C., even if they can't legislate at the moment. Press conference at the Capitol! +
Tucker Carlson spent his career advancing racist conspiracy theories about white genocide & the great replacement, saying immigrants make our country poorer & dirtier, and calling Iraqis “semi-literate primitive monkeys.”
You never have to hand it to him. And you shouldn’t!
Tucker Carlson, less than a year and a half ago, was hailing Trump's impending election with a twisted psychosexual cry of "Daddy's home!"
Never forgive these people and never forget what they did.
Rep. Frost, I agree with you. And Americans need to see congressional Democrats LOUDLY doing all that you can, to protest this attack. We want to see you all on the Capitol steps, speaking to the media: "We're here to vote. Americans are furious about this illegal attack. NOT IN OUR NAME."
justified “FUCK THE TARIFFS” chant in Winnipeg 😁🇨🇦 #AEWDynamite
I'd love to see a judge rule that Trump must personally reimburse the full cost to rebuild the East Wing that he stole from us. He sure is a terrible steward.
