Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
REPOST if you stand with AOC!
Got tickets to see Elvis Costello.
The first few seconds will take your breath away. Then it’s mind over matter over pain. ❄️
Stood barefoot in the snow and had my espresso this morning. Thank god it’s only two sips.
1/1 As a comedy writer, I was often the only woman in the room. The men were deeply funny but also misogynistic, racist and cruel. The writers’ room was a place to say anything in the name of comedy. I’d laugh at the good stuff and tune out the rest. It wasn’t easy. It was painful.
Stop letting unfunny men tell you there’s something wrong with you for not getting their “jokes”. Stop fake laughing. Let their reality reflect the truth of how fundamentally they misunderstand humor. Neuter their ability to use “it was a joke” for emotional cover. Make them see nobody laugh.
1/2 So. In real life, men trying to pawn off stupid remarks as a joke? I tell them it didn’t land and they might want to put some work into it before trying again. You can ask them to explain (polite, effective) or you can show pity and impatience (impolite, effective).

We are not seeing coverage of global protests on our national news or Meta platforms. Serious question - What other news sources can we turn to?
The P in POTUS now stands for dumb fucking facist potato.
Ann, I’m a close friend of Tiffany Z. You, your writing, and your bookstore are beacons of light. Thank you.
Go to whitehouse.gov right now. I knew my lifelong righteous anger would eventually come in handy. Jesus fcking christ
Happy you're here, friend!
Shoot your shot. You're fantastic and that's a fact, not an opinion.
Ohhh, THIS is the worst that could happen
Oh hey - just looking for a place that's safe from the broligarchy. Thanks for the follow.

To have a positive impact on the shitshow ahead, we need the FREE PRESS - not leadership or a leader. Our media sources have been corrupted, local independent news is gone, and the NYTimes and WaPo are softening. Bluesky being decentralized is a brilliant start. Let's build from here.
@aaronparnas.bsky.social Thanks for latest news on the mass exodus from threads and x to here. It was the only glimmer to this dark and wretched day.

Jokes that didn’t make it on Ink, w Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen. After a date, he drops her off at her apartment…
Ted: Why do you have a pair of men’s shoes outside your front door?
Mary: To scare off intruders.
Ted: They’re Topsiders. What’s he going to do, cut me off at the windward mark?
Too intimate. That made me uncomfortable, Jen.
Now what? NOW WHAT? Belvedere and that side of ginger beer thing you do.
Ugh, I’ve had about enough of me.
I wanted to be Jewish and full of vim. All I got was “Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.”
I talk a lot about doing good in the world. I hope that counts.
Jokes that made the cut on Ugly Betty.
Amanda: She’s fat. Really fat. She looks like two fat girls hugging.
We live in a society that tells you it’s not normal to burst into tears multiple times a day like Holly Hunter in Broadcast News, but that’s actually the only reasonable response to (gestures vaguely)
Not here to be booed and heckled. If I wanted that, I’d let my husband get on top of me again.
