I’m nodding to show I’m an active listener, not necessarily because I agree. Love Houston but worried Texas will kill us all. Compassion is a practice. "She would've given the Borgia girls a run for their money," - a friend.
This is how to friend!

The tweets/skeets etc. are solid but who is paying for the billboards & full-page newspaper ads in small town papers in light red GOP districts with the incumbent’s name & face & number of ppl kicked off Medicaid PLUS the name of the D challenger?

1) The new detention center in Florida promises to be as inhumane and awful as existing ones.

2) Did they coin “Alligator Alcatraz” to distract him & get him to stop talking about re-opening the actual Alcatraz?

3) This is not normal and this is not right.

In the year of 2025, someone needs to tell my doctor's office that it is 100% possible to have 2 clinic locations but one central calendar.

I constantly remind my boyfriend to lock the back door when he’s been in the backyard.

He’s gotten really good at it, I realize as I sit here in my nightgown after watering the plants waiting for him to drive back from the office to let me in.

I don't want a "Democratic Joe Rogan," whatever that is. I'd love to have truly progressive voices halping to pull the Overton window back our way.

But my advice to the Dems who are prepared to spend money on Rogan lite is this:

However much you are planning to spend, triple it. 1/

Do you do better when you're winning, or when you're chasing the lead?

I do better when I'm the underdog - as least, I prefer feeling positive about my chances. When I'm worried I'll fail, that worry consumes me. Fear motivates but it doesn't feel great. Wonder what psychologists say...
a group of men are rowing a boat with the number 5 on the front
Alt: A cluster of crews racing 8s (8-person boats with 4 people rowing on the port side and 4 on the starboard) at the Olympics. You can see 5 lanes of boats, with a periodic glimpse of the bow number for the 6th boat. The two rowers seen most easily with black, red, and yellow oars represent Germany. The red, white, and blue blade that comes into view is the United States. I picked this image as I still have anxiety dreams about my days as a cox'n - although I also have amazing dreams about my days as a cox'n when everyone was pulling together. I loved to come from behind and win.

I wake up many mornings & check to see if there’s news from Syria about #AustinTice. My heart goes out to him and his family. Something has to give.

I’ll say it - I’d like to have @betoorourke.bsky.social run for US Senate again. He hasn’t stopped working since his last race. The stakes are higher & the differences starker in 2025-26 v. 2017-18. We need his energy & commitment. #YouBetoYouBet

Are you a leader or board member of a 501(c)(3) public charity, like arts orgs or food pantries coping with massive funding cuts & revoked grants?

You CAN lobby the gov't about these cuts & encourage supporters to do the same.

And you should. I'd argue your mission obligates you to do so.

One of many reasons I love seeing permutations of the Grateful Dead is being able to walk up to strangers in the airport b/c they’ve got on a tie dye & have a groovy little conversation about your shared interest making it a much more enjoyable flying experience. Even for an introvert like me!

Hey @dartmouthcollege.bsky.social - I'm not a major donor by any means, but I do have capacity to give & unless you stand up RIGHT NOW for democracy, foreign students & faculty, & the 1st Amendment, any time you ask me for money, I'll happily give to @harvard.edu. #GoBigGreen

If he manages to strip Harvard of its tax exempt status, he'll go after other universities, but you know who else he'll go after?
- Planned Parenthood
- Charity care clinics
- Food pantries
But would people stop donating? Is losing exempt status a problem? (1/19)

Revoking Harvard's tax-exempt status b/c they disagree with the POTUS is a radical departure from how the IRS has approached regulating / removing exemptions from organizations because of beliefs / politics.

Wildly unprecedented action is not too strong a description.

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has made an appearance at the Final Four championship game, despite fans claiming that when the Texas senator attends the game for the team he is rooting for, they are "cursed" and lose the game.
