I took some more photos of poor Pepper today. He is so sweet and loving and gentle but nobody has wanted to adopt him just because he looks a little bit scrungly. 😢 Please share with anyone you know in northern Vermont who might be interested! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

There is nothing more insane than Mike Johnson - from the state of LOUISIANA - setting the precedent of conditioning disaster relief on political concessions.

Commonplace is now in Bluesky. Please spread the word and add to any history starter packs that you may be maintaining. 🗃️
🎤 Is this thing on? Hi, Bluesky! We're Commonplace Journal, an online publication for anyone interested in American history before 1900. Slightly less formal than a journal, slightly more scholarly than a popular magazine, we strive to bring early American history to a wide audience.

I guess the flaw in this analogy is that when the serial killer was caught, the killing stopped.
If you found out Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer got shot during the peak of their killing sprees, would you feel bad for them?

I hope Chris Wray doesn’t resign. Make Trump fire you, Wray. That way we can have an actual conversation about how, 1. It’s not normal to simply fire and replace the head of the FBI at the beginning of a presidential term and 2. Kash Patel is an insane choice to lead the FBI.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

The way to win against reactionaries is to starve them of reactions. Bluesky is going to be a potent weapon against the right. The fact that the right needs the left for their desired online experience but the left doesn't need them at all is an advantage.

Hillary beat Trump by a bigger margin than Trump beat Harris.

Why isn’t the corporate media hammering on this point all day every day?

Ever notice that Republicans can’t even be happy when they win? They’re still out crying “election fraud” over a few races we managed to prevail on. It’s exhausting.
