Hope is on the loose in #Idaho! A powerful team example of community #resistance for all of us to follow from #sarahinama, #brigadescreenprinting, and their supporters.

This week's column has a soundtrack. Truly, if you are feeling crushed by current events, you deserve to listen to this piece of music, and all of the people who created it deserve flowers. They also deserve our support.

Watching Al Franken play a Senator on TV while Donald Trump is our president in real life is incredibly depressing... and oddly comforting. We've missed you, Senator. @alfranken.bsky.social #theresidence

Three journalists who've never met decided to compare notes. We were surprised at what we learned—things we hadn't seen in the headlines.

I can't with the #GulfofAmerica. POTUS is not the President of America. The USA is one country in the Americas. Somos estadounidenses; los Americanos son todas las personas del continente. Only in my country do we think we own the term America. He can't even do the xenophobia accurately.

Jan 20th birthday countdown day four: what quotations or ideas are sustaining you and keeping you sane(ish) these days? I would love to hear. Here's one I'm leaning on, from a beautiful poem by @johnroedel.bsky.social.

Here's my attempt at a five day birthday countdown (and it's also #intersession day 15). Today, do you have any book recommendations for me to help us fuel up for what's ahead? Here are some of mine...

It’s just *unreasonable* to expect us to say goodbye to one year on December 31st, and start the new year the very next day. The next minute, even. Who came up with this?

Join me this year for a January intersession.
