What #SOTU? #Brookline DPW hard at work to get paths to school ready for teachers and students tomorrow after a heck of a storm!

Just watched #Becoming and have added it to my loop of #WestWing, the American President, and Murphy Brown as my safe and happy place where I actually feel hopeful again. #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike

Can we all pause for just a second and contemplate who is both #elite and NOT in the #Epsteinfiles?

Wondering how to help #Minnesota from afar? You can start here: www.wfmn.org/funds/immigr...

Then call your Senators (202-224-3121) and tell them to vote “no” on funding for ICE

These two actions will take just 5 minutes of your time. But for years to come you can say: “I did something about it.”

Dear Congress: I no longer believe you exist. Please prove me wrong by impeaching someone in this circus of a regime. I know: so many choices. But just pick one; start somewhere. It’ll get easier as you go.

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

Beautiful day in the cradle of American resistance to stand up for democracy! #NoKings

Ezra Klein is Wrong About Abortion Abortion *is* a big tent issue

THIS 💯 👉Ezra Klein is Wrong About Abortion

Just a reminder—any attempt to cut off access to mifepristone ignores science, medicine, and what’s best for reproductive health, according to EVERY reputable expert on the subject.

Two words to brighten your day: Strands Archive. Thanks @nytimes.com! What took you so long?

Thank you! This one drives me almost as nuts as “lead” when what’s wanted is “led”

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Somewhere in the US there’s a guy named Edmund who gave MY cell number instead of his to some candidate and now I’m getting tons of random candidate texts with a friendly “Hey Edmund” asking for money. I mean, ok Edmund, we obvi have similar politics, but really, dude? #NGPVANfail

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?"

The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

If you aren’t willing to publicly defend the principle of academic freedom, and the broad social value of open inquiry, you really have no business being a college or university president in a free society.

It's time to stop calling it the Trump
“administration" and call it what it is: a regime. You know, like "authoritarian regime" and "fascist regime." Labels matter.
Let's get this one right. @bcdreyer.social @meidastouch.com

Dear Sen. #Schumer,
No, I will not donate to the DSCC. The committee is already bankrupt, apparently. And while I’m no fan of Putin, his words to Trump, “this may be the right approach, but we have certain conditions” is EXACTLY what we were begging you to say to this horrific CR. Shame on you.

This 007 tribute is…goofy. Back to the awards please? #oscars

Thank you so much for recommending Flow, Ty. Loved it and so excited it won!

Why is anyone still asking “are we in a constitutional crisis?”

My only question is why there is no emoji of the Constitution being put through a paper shredder.

Dear Apple, The new iOS 18 Mail interface is awful, annoying (a blinking inbox just because I have unread messages?!??? 😡), and the individual email icons are misapplied yet there is no way to manually re-assign them. Almost ready to go Android after this one. Ugh.
