Got junk mail at my current address with my maiden name on it.
That has not been my name for 15 years. It has not been my name at any point while living here.
Is this the beginning of a Twilight Zone episode?

Every day for the last four days I check the 10-day forecast for New York City hoping there will be a glimmer of good news for my trip.

Oh hey, @murray.senate.gov is my senator. Stop being a coward. They're not following the rules. Time to step up and raise hell even if you aren't the majority.

Is it safe to talk about the fact that Rand was also a terrible writer and storyteller?
I started one book after my debate teacher is high school recommended her and I made it maybe three chapters before putting it down. How anyone finishes those books is beyond me.

as a black comedy, someone should write a version of WWI leadup that has social media. Don't bother about incongruity of fitting 21st century social media tech into early 1900s. Just imagine what it would have been like

Really appreciate this perspective.
If you want to meaningfully resist fascism, you need to make peace with inconveniencing yourself and being inconvenienced by others. Fascism relies on you privileging your individual comforts over others' basic safety.

Saw a road rage incident on the way home. The justifiably angry person proceeded to block an entire intersection and got out of his car to yell at the other person.

This. We must build a massive national movement & that will require many on-ramps…
…but no easy outs for those part of the pundit class or institutional leadership actively pushing collaboration or worse. Embrace institutional shifts, hold leaders accountable.

Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

I’m disappointed to read this post from a sitting DNC Vice-Chair. Our communities are experiencing an invasion and a violation of human rights in MN.
South Minneapolis in particular has been the epicenter of this pain. Let’s contribute to actual fundraisers helping keep families afloat.

I work with state parties every single day. There are only a handful of national leaders who actually raise real money for the year organizing state parties do--Ken Martin (dnc chair), Simon Rosenberg (Hopium), Sen. Warren and Actblue. Come for Simon and you come for all of us.

A group of 6 families are coordinating transportation, groceries, rent & utilities for 60+ Folwell families in South Minneapolis (this number grows daily). Most of the students have now shifted to e-learning. Please help our neighbors who are impacted by immigration enforcement.
