It can’t be overstated:

Stephen Miller is deeply, deeply disturbed.
Stephen Miller: "The writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would say that's an option we're actively looking at."

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.
We are not sheep. Get louder. Take action. Create a shadow cabinet.

The productivity of the Super Bowl matches me writing a first draft. 15 min of work an hour, broken up with brightly coloured distractions.

Friend: Mr Rogers said to look for the helpers, but we're the helpers people are looking for. Who helps us?

Me: I think we help each other.

When right-wing scum tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, Republicans made excuses.

When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes.

And when Donald Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies and Ivanka called them Patriots.

Don’t lecture us about condemning violence.

. @gbbranstetter.bsky.social: "I can’t say I’m surprised to see a repeat of the takes that followed 2016 scapegoating transgender people—and progressive politics more broadly—for the failure of a campaign that hardly featured any transgender people or progressive politics to begin with."

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Being able to disconnect from family over their vote for Trump is indicative of financial and social stability many people simply do not have. Being unable to disconnect from toxic family is not a moral failing. Queer people have been walking this tightrope for generations.

I shared this on Facebook the day after the election. I’m fascinated to see how many more folks might see it on here vs there. Since most of you followed me over here from there, let me know in the comments if this is your first time seeing it or not. Also, read the essay.
This might not be the best thing I’ve ever written but it is one of the most defiant… for now
