Lit em up today. Besides no SAVE, I mentioned impeaching Bondi (& more) & closing Dilly #resistanceaction #ThisIsHow
The Save Act is a full frontal assault against our democracy and we must defeat it. It’s time to light up your senators’ phone lines.

Thank you to everyone who has been calling their senators. Sen. Lisa Murkowski is now the first Republican senator to publicly oppose the SAVE Act.

Unable to watch the halftime show as I don't have any of the streaming services & am too sick to go out; feels kinda sad not to have this be free access (or easily findable access), but that's the nature of this industry

great thread
It's hard not to be haunted by details of the Epstein files right now, but it is also increasingly clear the spectacle of the files themselves is a distraction.
We risk losing focus on the structural corruption itself and those wielding it.

🧵 OK, Internet clan. We’re moving from stage 1 to stage 2 of an authoritarian takeover. Stage 1: Fire civil servants, develop thug force loyal to leaders instead of law. Stage 2: Screw elections.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.
This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.
They hate the helpers.
Which is why must keep helping.

Queer bookstores died in 2010. We had a funeral and everything!
Except... a ton of people decided to roll up their sleeves and start *new* queer bookshops, all over the place. In cities. In tiny towns.
