Meet my chunky soulmate Jackson Barn Cat. His expression speaks volumes about the state of things, but we are sending holiday love while we stock up on fortitude for 2025. We will need all his nine lives (and each other) for what's coming!🐱💝

Republicans torch the barn, the house, and the fields, and are just warming up, but when Biden lights a candle to bring a survivor through the smoke, they, the media, and even some democrats scream 'arson.'

The Dems always turn up to a fight with the Queensbury Rule Book. The Repubs rock up with brass knuckles, prepared to bite off ears.

Something I keep coming back to: The right's messaging success isn't just about being simple or tribal - it's about making people feel deeply seen and heard. That's a human need that transcends political boundaries. Perhaps we need to go deeper rather than wider.

The narrative challenge in progressive spaces fascinates me. We understand systems, recognize complexity, see nuance. But humans don't just think in systems - they feel in stories. How do we bridge that gap?

I was out cycling today - a gorgeous early Winter day - stopped for a breather, looked down and saw this. Yes it's just a mulchy leaf, but it made me smile :)

A fan of Indy Progressive media esp. @briantylercohen.bsky.social. His coverage is clear-eyed, his guests give master classes on the Constitution, Judiciary & Democracy & his book Shameless is insightful. But I am uncertain we are close to finding a response to incendiary right-wing propaganda. 1/2

This is very well said. Trolls need bridges to live under. Don’t build ones to them

I believe Musk, Vivek at al's intent is to drive AI into all facets of government operations at scale, dramatically reducing human roles. It won't be done with finesse. These two will always take a sledgehammer to a nut as disruption and impact are the point.

The fact that they named the committee DOGE in homage to the crypto-bros is deeply offensive, yet says so much. It spells out their agenda; is the type of smug, insider humor that no doubt, had them slapping each other on the backs in glee, and is coldly mechanical. Ugh.

I wondered where she'd pop up. Can you imagine those three in a room together, as they slash and burn their way through organizations, regulations, and people's lives, reveling in the mayhem?

Hello! I am so relieved to have finally jumped the X and landed in the BlueSky. It's great to see many familiar faces here. I'm looking forward to contributing to the conversation, as we collectively figure out the best path forward.
