History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

As you and HCR said this morning, there is nothing more American than standing up for the Constitution and the Rule of Law by repeating there are NO KINGS in the United States of America.

I hope you get it sorted out. I used to have similar issues with FitBits, and had to replace them every 2-3 years for battery or strap. Now that Google bought them they no longer provide me with the data I used to get.

Hung out for a few hours with my friend ##ejscholze, and now just resting at home with John Fugelsong's new book.

Actually, they are sold out! 🐸

Great game - an epic battle in Seattle. And Mariners win it in 15 innings and 5 hours. And we are all exhausted! 💙💚⚾️🔱

You two are my heros, and feel like close friends after listening to you for so long.

Yes, they are making a difference. And as my friend #ejscholze pointed out to me, they have repurposed the frog 🐸 image away from Pepe.

Love the feels of those, with the thin pages compressed, to turn to where you want to go.

Vallejo (Va-lay-HO) is not Valley-jo

San Rafael (Ra-PHEL) - is not Rah-fa-EL.

And never call it San Fran, or Frisco.

I have been able to help mobilize our local weekly rallies, and share accurate news information and Podcasts (like yours and Heathers) with friends and my community.

Hey friends-

It’s really hard being alive right now for those of us who care about things like humanity, decency, the environment, democracy, etc,

If you are here still fighting for what is right I love u.

None of this is easy. Please take care of yourselves. Logging off sometimes is A-OK.

For a real president, "our people" means "Americans."

Every day, in every way, he's telling millions of Americans that they don't count.

“.. we’re going to take care of our people,” Trump added. “There are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of. And we’ll take care of them in a different way.”

Sending the Texas National Guard to Illinois is a loyalty test.

They went.
They passed.

Legality doesn't matter.
Need doesn't matter.
Crime doesn't matter.
Humanity doesn't matter.
Logic doesn't matter.

Loyalty to DJT matters.
That is all.

Build it back better!

Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @hcrichardson.bsky.social · 4d

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

“No fucking way”

A motto, perhaps?

Charlotte Clymer @charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 4d

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.
