I’ve never witnessed this many people collectively hoping someone has shuffled off this mortal coil. It’s a real spectacle.

Optimism and pessimism are both irrelevant. Persistence and determination are what matter. Public pressure has had an effect. Yes, it's bleak. It was expected to be. The reason it's not worse is because people have stood up for each other. Keep at it.

In the midst of the battle. Stop a minute. Remember this. We are fighting these bastards for our America. There are more of us than them. And we win.

37 years ago today—on August 12, 1988—Martin Scorsese released The Last Temptation of Christ, a bold, polarizing, and profoundly human portrayal of Jesus. It earned him his second Oscar nomination for Best Director.

A big reason I prefer BlueSky over other social media platforms is its moderation system 🛡️. Although other platforms have moderation tools, BlueSky’s approach is far more effective and reliable. That’s why it remains my favorite 💙
@bsky.app Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful platform 💙

Find an event on Saturday to protest Trump’s effort to rig electoral maps and steal the 2026 election. Trump’s map takeover is starting in Texas, but it won’t stop there. We’re fighting back nationwide with a day of action this weekend.

History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole.

Governors Can Not Remove Elected Legislators. Period.
A democracy must have an independent legislature. Only voters elect and unelect representatives.

I do have more optimism for the future than I did at inauguration, simply because I think this strategy of "break everything all at once as fast as we can without any window dressing" is not sustainable and is going to manifest public fury in the coming year.

I remain proud AF to have voted for Kamala Harris and I’ll never really believe she lost to the orange convicted felon. It’ll always break my heart that we were robbed the opportunity to have a fantastic once in a lifetime President. 💙🇺🇸
