Over recent weeks, I've realized how many of my once-sacred givens are now up for debate in my heart and how much grieving this reality has yielded.
Maybe you’re in the same place of uncertainty and instability.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months?
Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

@piperformissouri.bsky.social I’m trying to put together a meeting for the dozens of Dem groups that I’m a part of to get us all working to organize together. Would you be willing to chat? I need help.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

What is it about watching a 4-year-old tell a 78-year-old with the maturity of a 2-year-old to "shut up and go away" that is SO deeply satisfying?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but President Biden is NOT in the White House any more... the three-ring shit show America is witnessing now is 100 percent the result of putting a fucking convicted felon CLOWN and his cowardly cohorts in the White House.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

So............ I have to teach about the U.S. Constitution today to an introductory level class.
How on earth am I supposed to pretend everything is just working normally?
Answer: I'm not going to pretend. I'm telling it like it is.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
