May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

I do love a good workshopping session

I realized that I haven’t watched a live launch since Challenger in 1985 😬😬😬 Some guy posted that he was confused why Gen X is still traumatized since there have been so many successful launches since, and I was like, “Yeah, and I didn’t watch those, either!”

I was a religion major in college, and was on the path to becoming a Methodist pastor. Once I started seeing the behind the scenes stuff, I changed my mind. The campaigns in the 90s to keep gay people from being ministers is what finally broke me.

This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.

I grew up West Coast Methodist, and the Southern Methodists were the ones telling me I was going to hell! Verrrry eye opening for me in college.

At times like these it always helps to read some William Butler Yeats

Happy #TwinPeaksDay!

America has lost a titan in the struggle for civil rights and racial justice. From his days at the side of Dr. King, to his moral leadership in this century, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. spent his life pushing our nation closer to its own ideal.

J and I started dating in 1991, lol. We’re celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary this year!

super helpful deep dive into the context and subtext of last night's awesome performance. :)

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Am I interested in wrestling now? 👀

Still thinking about how Representative Omar was about to clock the man that charged her.

The US has been flawed and violent and racist from its very inception. This *is* who we are, but it doesn't have to be. Let this moment be an inflection point.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor

Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes

Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day

Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

My childhood river was the Santa Ana River, which was mostly a puddle. Current river is the Tualatin.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

Literally said this to J on Saturday 🙄

So when can you start

I have also said this and it is indeed true. I weirdly miss the small earthquakes, tbh

Aw, poor thing he’s orange

Fuck yeah

It’s so exhausting.

One of the worst parts of the modern condition is having to listen to billionaires airing out the stupidest policy ideas, random musings, and other mental detritus. It’s unbearable.
