Valentines night dinner at The Stables in Missoula with my wonderful wife.

We could not be happier to celebrate it in the city that lifts us up every day.

Take 2 because we fell ill for our original Valentine’s Day plans :)

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.

An executive order does not have the power to override the Constitution.

ADF and Heritage have been pushing for the TikTok ban for a long time now, claiming that people like me on the platform “turn your kids trans.”

It’s hogwash of course… you can’t catch being trans… but they think eliminating it will stop people from coming out.

They’re wrong of course.

Whenever some dude complains about tampons in men's restrooms, what it really comes down to is that he just doesn't respect women. He feels emasculated by tampons because for him, there's nothing more insulting than to be equated with women. Misogyny is the internal structure of transphobia.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

How did the tech bro crowd, growing up on stories of sci-fi, transhumanism, virtual reality and limitless ability to modify one's body, "biohacking," etc. end up becoming so viscerally anti-transgender? Truly boggles my mind.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

The phrase “Peaceful transfer of power” rings hollow when the person to whom power is being passed incited an insurrection against the government he has, once again, been chosen to lead.

Donald will continue to weaken our democracy in ways both unfathomable and incalculable.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ?

Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world.

Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

Anyone who takes money from Musk should be primaried and ostracized from the party. Musk spent millions getting Trump elected.
He's literally trying to buy himself congress, right out in the open.
