🧵 Been trying to read more books in general, a hobby I enjoyed immensely when younger & had fallen to the wayside. My tastes run towards Sci-fi, fantasy & general fiction. Many resonate with our current political situation. So, if you’re looking for some inspiration, here’s what I’ve read lately 🧵
Yesterday was rough day for our kitties, ending in ER visit last night. Thankfully everyone is fine now
Thought today was Friday for the last few hours. Combined with today’s news, I just can’t.

Servicemembers are SUPPOSED to disobey ILLEGAL orders. It's why they swear an oath to the Constitution and not the president. (Sorry for the typo)

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

Apart from their individual moral failings, the reason we need to primary almost every incumbent Democrat is that they are not psychologically prepared for the scale of Reconstruction that will be necessary once this administration is over.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Why is LA leadership seemingly still so NIMBY when NYC and Chicago progressive leadership has largely embraced a zoning reform agenda?
Or am I mischaracterizing things?
