Hey Bluesky! Please connect me with women reinventing themselves in their 50s, speech language pathologists, liberal politics, and dog lovers.

I think as many straight white people who can should attend whatever "No Kings" protest is near you. But use your head. Stay peaceful. Speak of TRUE patriotism and support of The Constitution, Freedom, and The American Way when asked. Convince people to register to vote AND TO VOTE DEM.

NEW: RFK Jr's purge of CDC leadership isn't shaking Democratic Gov Jared Polis' enthusiastic support of Kennedy to lead America's health policy. Today, Polis praised his collaboration with Kennedy, saying "We hope to work on making America healthier." #copolitics

It's sort of fascinating how ALL OF THIS lawless tyranny is happening, all around us at all times, and never once have a gang of Second Amendment enthusiasts showed up with their God-given rifles to fend off the secret police. Not once. When they've been driven off it's been by the unarmed.

Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran
This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

🧵 When authoritarian leaders attack judges as "enemies," history shows us exactly where this leads. Trump's assault on "USA HATING JUDGES" isn't just inflammatory rhetoric—it's following a script written by strongmen worldwide. But other countries show us how to fight back.

THIS IS CRIMINAL.
In the first 100 days of the Trump admin, ICE averaged 665 arrests a day. 3,000 a day, a 450% increase, is an INSANE number for them to demand now; genuinely, truly, the stuff of madness.

I’m still sorta surprised at how thoroughly Target misunderstood its customer—or, at least, one of its most important customers. Relatively well-off, college-educated suburban women do a disproportionately massive amount of consumer spending, loved Target, and are statistically not Trump voters
It’s pretty remarkable just how thoroughly Target got its shit wrecked for the anti-DEI stuff
