It’s my birthday 🎂 66 trips around the sun.
Make a plan to vote YES tomorrow.
I voted YES this past Saturday. Do you have a plan to vote YES at your polling station tomorrow?
Happiest of birthdays to you, George! May you live long and prosper. 🖖🏼
I just voted YES on the redistributing referendum. The line was long but moved quickly. #Henrico #Virginia
In other words, let's say the Kremlin — allied with Trump officials — wants to kill an important online forum for the American left. So they launch an attack on Bluesky. And the U.S. government simply takes no action to prevent it.
There's speculation that today's Bluesky outage was a DDOS attack. This presents an interesting scenario.
The White House can't shut down Bluesky because the 1st Amendment prevents it from silencing speech it doesn't like. But what if a foreign power chose to and the U.S. government approved? 🧵
The Republican Party in my home state are extremists — at least as much as in Texas or Florida.
The Today Show this morning made the same error, placing the statements by both Trump and the Pope as somehow equivocal.
Magyar, closing his speach, now calling for accountability for those who turned on Hungarians. Refusing to be a country w/o consequences.
i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”
I’m sorry, you’re going to try to bully the pope? And just any pope, but the Chicago pope?
Threatening the Pope and Vatican.
Completely agree.
So good to see you again, Julie!
I have been taking it for 20 years. I have only positive things to say about it. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Ambien helps me reach a deeper level of sleep so that I feel more rested and refreshed when I get up in the morning.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.
Praying for TACO Tuesday 🌮
Good.
Give this a listen.
Delaying booking a return flight back to my house in case my idiot president launches a nuclear war tonight. Even if he eats shit and walks away tonight, don't let anyone forget how fucking stupid this moment was. Don't let kids forget how close we are to annihilation, provided we make it.
Iranian civilization is ancient and beautiful.
We extend our solidarity to the Iranian people in this frightening and shameful moment.
Congress must act now to stop President Trump from carrying out more catastrophic and immoral violence in our names.
There are 9 million people who live in Tehran — 16 million if you count the surrounding areas. Iran has a total population of about 93 million people.
Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country.
Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.
I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.
You see, if you threaten the president the FBI knocks on your door, but if the president threatens 90 million people, there’s not a soul in government charged with doing anything apparently.

Ever since 2016, I've wondered not if but when it will be truly time to go full South Korea, with a million or more of us surrounding the White House until something is done to get him out
I had been betting on fighting against a midterms coup. but now I'm thinking maybe that time is...
NOW?
