We’re about to watch the party of “protect the children” downplay & dismiss CSA and pedos.

I need something stronger than coffee this morning.

People who are shocked or horrified that MAGA acolytes are continuing to defend their dear leader CLEARLY didn’t grow up with adults making excuses for rape-y youth pastors. It’s disappointing, but not the least bit surprising.

Early voting starts today, TN-7! Let’s flip this seat with someone who wants to feed our kids, fix our roads, and fund our hospitals: @aftynbehn.bsky.social.

“Well what if [Democrat/Progressive Name] is in the Epstein files?”
I’m sorry, is that meant to be a real question? Because it’s asked like there’s more than one answer.

You prosecute the ever-loving shit out of that person immediately, and publicly condemn them. It really is that simple.

Being a sex therapist in a conservative family doesn’t make parent phone calls less painful, but it sure does make them more entertaining. 🤣

I will read the MLK Jr. files that got released yesterday just as soon as I finish reading the Epstein files.

Release them. #epstein #coverup #releasethefiles

Let’s get one thing real clear: there is NO 👏SUCH 👏THING 👏as “sex with trafficked children.” There is only rape and sexual abuse. No consent = abuse. #sexualassualt #childexploitation

If you are reading this, you need to call and tell them to vote NO on HR 1!

Just got off the phone with the office of Congressional Rep. Mark Green (R-TN). He barely let me squeeze in my request that he vote “No” on the Budget Bill. Hopefully this means they are being FLOODED with calls. #voteno #callyourrepresentative #Tennessee #5CallsApp

@linzpatrickwright.bsky.social Just heard your episode on @citycastnash.bsky.social this morning & I am so grateful for you standing up for your kiddo in Wilson County. Please know you have 1 more supporter in Nashville. 🩷

No! The last time we tried “regime change” we ended up in a 20+ year un-winnable war, & broke a generation of veterans who are now unable to receive adequate healthcare due to cuts made to the VA. Stop trying to force regime changes overseas. Our service members and their families pay the price.

Waking up today in #Nashville feeling closer to thousands of my neighbors. Thank you for coming out yesterday. If nothing else, seeing thousands of folks come out to protest #NoKings makes me feel not so different from y’all.

This is Idaho! Amazing!!
Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO?

Loving this mature queen energy!

@maddow.msnbc.com The Nashville #NoKings protest was truly incredible! It was well organized, peaceful and had the best energy of neighbors turning out to support their neighbors. @50501nashtn.bsky.social

I just read a post on one of the loc pages calling MAGA cult members “trumpanzees” and while I understand this is problematic, it also made me snarf my coffee. East Nashville is my favorite corner of the country.

Funny how “Don’t tread on me” turns into “stay silent” when it’s not your rights being trampled.
Where are the liberty lovers when ICE skips due process?
Freedom isn’t just a flag. And it’s only real if it applies to everyone.
Silence in the face of injustice isn’t neutrality. It’s consent.

I’m lucky to have people in my life who keep asking how I’m doing.

I won’t sugarcoat it: this season is heavy.
But practicing from a philosophical lens—one that helped a founder of our field survive the Holocaust—grounds me. It reminds me: meaning is still possible & that it can coexist w/ grief.

They are disappearing people with no due process. Do not forget them.
