I think a LOTR marathon is a fine idea! Although I may have to watch the entire Breaking Bad series for the sixth time.

Parkrose Permaculture ❌👑 @parkroseperma.bsky.social · 15h

I should be asleep but my 14 yr old LotR fan and I are talking about Ent wisdom and channeling some Treebeard and I feel like my treat after No Kings will be a Director's cut marathon with my kids.

What are you going to do to celebrate and decompress after No Kings?

Democrats want to play it safe in Maine’s white-hot Senate race. That’s a mistake.

An absurd amount of energy is spent trying to avoid primaries, when, in fact, Democrats should want more of them.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?
