Rob Reiner was an American Icon who, through his art and activism, held a mirror up to American culture. His talent, humor, activism, and patriotism will be missed. Our heart breaks at the senseless loss of our friend.

Somehow @sepinwall.bsky.social published a beautiful eulogy for Rob Reiner overnight. I woke up saddened by the news of his passing, and this piece—celebrating his life and work—was exactly what I needed to read.

Sometimes we all need a reminder that we are kicking ass! www.bonfire.com/store/meacti...

Maybe we do not feel very kickass when we are just trying to survive but we know that takes unimaginable strength.

Thank you to @hospmom.bsky.social for this design!

🌟 Your Voice Can Save ME/CFS Research! 💙
The CDC Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Program—the only federal effort dedicated to ME/CFS research and public health—is at risk of being cut. Losing it would be a devastating setback for millions of Americans living with ME/CFS.

I don't have words for the fear these images conjure up, only that when I look at these images I know what I am looking at — and it is the most direct route to hell that humanity is capable of taking.

The death of due process is the most egregious assault on human rights protections in any democracy. Without it, democracy simply does not exist. Call your senators, call your reps. Call the governor, call your HOA for all I care, but please make noise for the people they're trying to disappear.

I got a head nod and an approving half smile from a goth teenager last night.

Trump signed an executive order that he said would “begin eliminating the federal Department of Education once and for all,” although the agency cannot be closed without the approval of Congress.
