Tonight I’m catching up on the Grammy’s, Olympics and so looking forward to Bad Bunny at halftime. So important to remember to request your ballot to vote in the upcoming primaries!
It’s time for the big game! Before kick off make sure you have your favorite snacks, practice those dance moves for the half-time show, and then request your ballot for 2026 at VoteFromAbroad.org

You won’t have to worry about missing a single election this year.

✅ done
If you are an American living overseas, please request your ballot at VoteFromAbroad.org.

Doing this now will help ensure that you get your ballot for primaries so that we can vote for politicians who will work to abolish ICE and hold this Republican administration accountable for their actions.

"The number of downloads...surged by 529% after Mr. Mamdani’s news conference"

"there had been 3,000 people on a waiting list to access a limited number of e-book copies"

"2,000 people applied for a library card over the weekend, roughly twice as many as had applied by this time last year"

A win!

I was already broken and then the Liam Ramos thing broke me again.

But the other form of broken is to think it’s fine and at least I’m not broken like that.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY ✨ I nearly didn’t go out 2nite. The odds felt slim… but you’ve got to be in it to win it.

It's finally happening.

The Swedish prime minister just announced that a pan-European force is arriving in #Greenland as we speak.

No word yet on whether UK forces are among them.

Psst: Notice where this wind/weather data is coming from. It's coming from NCAR.

One tiny blip of the kajillion things NCAR does to improve/advance weather forecasting.

The wind has arrived...

60+ mph gusts at the Mesa Lab in Boulder, all kicking up within the last half hour.

This moves into the rest of the metro area in the next few hours.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇
