Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded.

On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies--Goddammit, you’ve got to be kind.

At the Bethlehem march today an LGBTQ driving by cried because she felt supported and loved. A veteran was walking around thanking everyone. An old woman told me we made her hopeful. If anyone wonders why I do this, that's why. #nokings #bethlehempa #nokings2025

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

This #WomensHistoryMonth we once again acknowledge and reckon with Anarcha, Lucy and Betsey, the Mothers of Gynaecology. These enslaved Black women, along with nine other women whose names have been erased, were subjected to human experimentation without anaesthesia. We say their names.

Sorry, I'm forgetting there is still joy in life! Just look at this beautiful plate of Aspergillus brasiliensis. Like a hundred little stars! ✨

Coward republicans. You all disgust me.

Honestly once every other country figures out they can isolate us for Felon47's precious America First bullshit, I'm sure not going to blame them for for our inevitable downfall.

Cool, thanks, #republicans, for being so far up Trump's diapered ass that not a single one of you could say no to Vought. What filth you've allowed for this country. We'll never have that precious "respect" again.

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔

He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.

“The Library IS for Everyone” 💚

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I agree that we need to call on more #democrats to step up and speak out, but there's still some good #republicans we need to hold accountable as well. Stop sitting idly by, look at what is becoming of this country! A mockery of everything you all have said is important and right. Get angry!

I hope more countries start pushing back, so Trump can learn America has never stood alone nor should we. We can't bully the whole world into submission. And what makes bullies crack? Standing up to them.

Just sayin', but if politicians (and I mean any politician, though it does feel more applicable these past few months) would use campaign funds/donations/etc. on lowering the debt/public aid/also etc. rather than flying everywhere and throwing big parties...wouldn't that be, just, the bee's knees? 😮‍💨

Would the manhunt be so large if the victim wasn't, say, a rich white CEO man? 🤔

I'm not happy about Hunter Biden's pardon, it feels dirty to me, but in the grand scheme of things? All the MAGA hypocrites crying foul can fuck right off.

One day - one day! - my spontaneous asking of "are you sure we can't try to foster a dog?" will catch my partner so off guard they will say yes. And we will foster, and we will fail just as they know we will, and it will be glorious.
