I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the hijacking of the word “woke”. Its use as a pejorative in the mainstream culture will be looked back on as another incredibly racist, offensive, and shameful time in our nation’s history. #racialjustice

One of the things that breaks my brain these days is that JD Vance wakes up every day thinking he has the moral high ground.

I’m so tired of other drivers zooming up on me going the speed limit and then flipping me off for going the speed limit.

I will never in a million years or lifetimes understand the toxicity of being angry a person “avoided” the death penalty.

Think FDR, but the complete opposite.
Don’t kill thousands of American jobs. Kill the bill.

Very cool to see Google Maps rolling out better bike route information! It now presents options: “Best route” “less traffic” and “more bike lanes.” It also has light green for basic bike lanes and dark green for trails and protected bike lanes (no color change from blue for neighborhood greenways)

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."
That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Context is always key, this context is terrifying.
By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.
But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
