@schumer.senate.gov DON'T cave and vote for cloture if you EVER want to be re-elected. I will no longer be voting straight Dems tickets. If you support the Trump/Musk coup of our government expect fury from your base.

Bingham started doing these drawings two days after the fires began. She realized she couldn’t afford to donate to all of her friend’s recovery funds. So she put out a call on Instagram asking people to send her pictures of their homes, which she'd draw for free. via @kcrw.com

Reupping this because it feels increasingly urgent that we remember: When we're on "social media," we are part of the media ecosystem, and have responsibilities, too.
It's always important to follow On The Media's excellent guidance but especially in the midst of horrifying events that are all too given to misinformation.
If you learn that you've shared false information: Screengrab, delete/de-RT, & tell your followers about it, with the screengrab.

The fire in the LA area is heartbreaking l, yet another reminder of the ongoing climate crisis.
Ironically, this Saturday, at the Fowler Museum is opening Fire Kinship, an exhibition highlighting the importance of traditional burning as a land management practice of California Indians, and why.

For possibly the quadrillionth time in my life, I am begging people to stop using "girls" as an insult.
Trump & Musk are grown ass men who have behaved like this their whole lives. They are the embarrassment, the cautionary tale. Not middle-school girls. Can we please let middle-school girls live.

I just hope the Trump/Elon breakup is messy and dramatic and ends up with both of them tweeting insults at each other like middle school girls
