Organizing bookshelves today and this one winked at me. Alice Wang indeed lived an activist’s life. Condolences to her family and many friends 🐯💓

Nov 10 marked the 50th anniversary of the release of #Horses. Last night #PattiSmith gave a master class on live performance, artistic creation, unabashed joy & utter comfort in one’s skin. She ended w/ anthem #PeopleHaveThePower, exhorting us to believe it, to act on it. Yes, let us do just that!

Can a novel about an uber intelligent, headless robot trying to save humanity be poignant and witty?
If @daniellestejust.bsky.social is the author, it turns out the answer is an unequivocal ‘yes’! Available for pre-order on Amazon now www.amazon.com/dp/B0G1JHKYQR

More you-can’t-make-this-sh*t-up headlines from @nytimes.com.
Next thing they’ll publish is women ruined the Dem Party and that’s why they’re winning this year…🤦🏼‍♀️

To those claiming to support 🇵🇸rights: instead of harassing a person who doesn’t hold office & who isn’t POTUS, by screaming multiple times at their📕 talk, the founders of @standing-together.bsky.social ~ an org that does work actually supporting the 🇵🇸people ~ are in the US this week. Support them.

Reading #Project2025 & one aim is to destroy the administrative state (clearly), then "return self-governance to the American people."
How is fed goons detaining American citizens giving us 'self governance'? What does 'self governance' even mean in our constitutional system?

The fact that President Trump enjoys only a 39% approval rating in this latest You.Gov poll isn’t what’s notable. It’s the fact that 86% of republicans STILL approve of him. What will it take for them to see which way the ship is headed?

I saw a post on Reddit that DT’s approval rating is at 39% as of 10/25: d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec.... But what is his polling among those who voted for him? That is still at 84%. Until his approval among Rs drops below 50%, I don’t see his GOP enablers in Congress switching.

A year ago today in Omaha. ❤️‍🩹

#NE02 managed to do the right thing. Why couldn’t the other swing states? Will never forgive the choice people made to vote for DT or to stay home.

PS: Maya Harris gives a phenomenal hug.

He’s Bonwit Teller’ing the White House and the result is going to be a Grand Hyatt’esque monstrosity…

Seen in Lyon, France ~ looks like an accurate depiction of what a pussy Trump is

Trump is windmilling around to instill fear and assert dominance. Capable, dedicated public servants like AG James protect us from lawless people like Trump. We need to stand with her.

So whether you’re feeling an existential crisis making you want to scream or *mere* anxiety, know that Edvard’s got you covered

Munch nailed it.

Greetings from Oslo.
We all know about #Munch’s #Scream, but did you know he also depicted…

Under Trump, America may be disavowing the proposition that representation of Black people is a good thing, but I was delighted to see the gift shop of Oslo’s Edvard Munch Museum had beautiful children’s 📕 celebrating Maya Angelou & Rosa Parks prominently displayed. 💗

A year ago.

The folks of Nebraska CD02 could see Trump was a menace & Harris ready to be president. Why couldn’t the other swing state campaigns?

Today sat opposite a couple of Aussies on a Norwegian train. Husband said something re Trump forcing OZ to buy US beef. Wife soothingly said, ‘now dear let’s not talk politics.’ Mom & I both said hey we didn’t vote for him. They smiled in relief.
BTW, Norway is beautiful.

@theinstitutecp.bsky.social’s Dr Terry Anne Scott will be interviewing Dr Keisha Blain next week for an online book talk: www.eventbrite.com/e/without-fe...
Both historians are dynamic presenters & deeply knowledgeable about American history. It should be a bracing, galvanizing discussion.

WA voters: I called @cantwell.senate.gov's office & asked re CR to keep the government operating: specifically, if the Rs continue to be so cruel and intransigent on healthcare, is she willing NOT to vote for the CR?

"The Senator refuses to say how she will vote."
😒
Please call today.
