We're quicksilver, a fleeting shadow. A distant sound. Our home has no boundaries beyond which we cannot pass. We live in music, in a flash of color. We live on wind and the sparkle of a star.

Good morning! I’m currently at Beaverton High School in OR where a mass student walk out has just started to demand a proactive ICE protocol for their school and district.
Students say that similar walkouts were planned at multiple other high schools, including Aloha, Sunset, Southridge & more.

It’s still not too late to start wearing a mask.
It can be scary feeling like the lone masker, but it’s worth it.
You will be healthier. You will be keeping your community healthy. You may even encourage someone else to mask.
Masking is community care.
If you can’t afford a respirator:

I know it's important to meet people where they're at but sometimes it's really frustrating when people try to find the "logic," This is about terrorizing people of color. It doesn't matter if you were born here, or your ancestors came here centuries ago enslaved, the goal is white supremacy.

It is so terribly sad the rising anti-mask attitudes among leftists. It's not enough that they are ableist, ignore science, have abandoned clean air protections for workers, and literally infected others, apparently they need to be told that they are not bad people and we're crazy. Please just stop.
(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)

The worst thing about Riley Gaines is that she is a transphobic grifter. But the crazy competitive dancer part of my brain always reacts in disgust: 5th place? You don't get a trophy for 5th place. You get a little yellow ribbon and the motivation to work harder you dumb bitch!

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.
She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.
So I confronted him.

In Ingrassia is a white nationalist and a Nazi. He is a piece of shit but really the difference between him and most of this administration is he's just clearer about it than most.
EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia told Republicans that the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a group chat viewed by POLITICO.
Trump nominee says he has a ‘Nazi streak,’ bashes MLK Jr. Day, according to texts

Marched with my union alongside the Union we work for (confusing I know), eavesdrops on a conversation and got a great lead, saw bikini activists on the water, marched over the bridges, saw lots of dogs, kids, costumes, elders. A beautiful day in #Portland at the #NoKings rally.
