The most important advice I can give anyone right now is "get to know your neighbors". There will be someone within arms' reach who needs help as things get ugly. Being there to offer that help is an infinitely more impactful form of resistance than posting spicy hot takes on the internet.

I walk from the University Park neighborhood to Kenton Park almost daily. It is chill and idyllic!

Critics of new bill say Ohio women would be banned from sports bras, bikinis in public 'The peak of fear mongering.'

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.

HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

Razing Columbia Pool + cutting PSR while police get $$$? That’s not public safety—that’s misplaced priorities. Invest in community, not just enforcement. #PDX

I will be on @maddow.bsky.social’s show tonight to talk about InfoWars. Unlike the site’s current proprietor, I am not presently shirtless.

There is a reason all my cousins and close friends know not to ever call the police for a wellness check on me.

A photo showing farm workers laboring in a field while a pesticide applicator applies pesticides in a very close field with the text overlay "This Earth Day, help us protect farm workers from pesticide exposure"

This #EarthDay, we wish we could count on the federal government to protect farmworkers from toxic pesticides. But in 2026, it looks like we need to do it ourselves. Make your gift today to help bring a better future. act.seiu.org/a/earthday20... #WeFeedYou
