Putting out fires with gasoline.... WITH GASOLINE!

Yeah, my 80 something, Vietnam War vet and retired school librarian parents are definitely "the antifa people". Fuck off into the sun Mike.

@skylargrayson.bsky.social thanks so much for this - I immediately sent it to my dad, who once a week has been breathless with new 'news' from this "Harvard professor". This was eye-opening for both of us. 💜
maryshannonthomas.bsky.social
Yeah, my dad has been listening to this guy, and I had to explain that (having lived and worked in Cambridge) not *absolutely everyone* at Harvard knows what they're talking about. MANY people have taught there; "Harvard professor" doesn't mean you're the authority on anything.

And in some cases (cough Stroll cough) more the latter than the former 😆

It absolutely is. I don't mind the occasional shot of a Patrick Dempsey or even Brad Pitt, given the film. But the constant cuts to partners, random celebrities and hangers-on is just stupid. Parents get a pass because they raised them. Otherwise, show the damn race. Midfield battles please!

Blue states should contact anyone who got laid off and bring them into the healthcare collaborative.

Aw... What a force she was! May we all be remembered so fondly.

Thanks. I'm going to have a nice chat with her mom, and I'm going to be sad about it. And I'm going to fight like hell to live in a country that truly values human life by making health care affordable and accessible for everyone. Anyone who is anti healthcare access can fuck off and die about it.

I should be calling my best friend to celebrate her birthday. I can't, because she died in July from an entirely treatable condition. Even with "insurance" health care was out of reach.
I miss her every day. 🖤
May the people that keep her & others from getting care burn in hell, today & always.

I adore everything @ellecordova.bsky.social does. We need this kind of clever and entertaining resistance to survive. 🤘💜

Right? I feel like the universe could do us a solid rn and just... Not? We need that light out here right now.

So frustrating, especially when the midfield battles are SO important. I want to see Alonso; I want to see the kids mixing it up as they find their footing. When it's relevant, show me the frontrunners. But when it's not, show me the rest of the damn race!

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social your deeply researched book on this man's mental decline drops any day now, right?

Excited to be part of the @stonehamcan.bsky.social and Stoneham Reads Banned Books Read In today. Now more than ever, the people banning books are on the wrong side of history. Support the Mass #FreedomToRead bill, and fight censorship.

Super weird how the Miami Herald can write an entire article with those details & somehow never use the word "slavery" or "rape". They really went out of their way to use the softest language ever to describe people enslaving humans & sexually assaulting them while declaring themselves "Christians"
