❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Thank you Mr Mayor and all of thousands you organized to make this happen.

I'm in love.

A lovely piece on how the doctrine of the Catholic Church can change. I love how Newman says but if we look back we can see that’s how it should have been all along. It gives hope for those of us who stay. I’d love to hear the thoughts of @catholickungfu.bsky.social studies.ie/suffer-the-l...

Bow down before me! I just got an M4 MacBook running Tahoe to print to a laser printer manufactured in 2012, via WiFi no less! 🖨️

Death chose the wrong 80 year old yet again! Thanks for all the joy and laughter Mr. Curry, rest in peace.

The resignation of President Nixon. I was 7 years old, and staying in a boardinghouse with my grandmother in the Rockaways (the Irish riviera). Half a block from the beach, one room, 2 twin beds, a galley kitchen, a table by the window, and a little tv up on a corner shelf, bathroom down the hall.

Those annoying spam donation requests you delete are going to destroy the Democratic Party’s ability to ethically raise money. Speak with your parents and grandparents about their donation habits. Something like 0.75 cents on the dollar does not reach the candidates.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

What a cool idea! If you visit Copenhagen and do some green volunteer activities like picking up trash or helping weed gardens you are rewarded with free activities like a boat tour, a free coffee, or even lunch. @mayor.nyc.gov what do you think? Let’s bring this to NYC. www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

Copenhagen's new 'CopenPay' scheme rewards tourists – but does it actually work?

As mass tourism ignites tensions across Europe, Copenhagen looks to reward travellers who perform green deeds with perks like free ice cream and discounted museum entry.

Happy Feast of St. Mary Magdalene! Remember that in the time between when the Risen Christ appeared to her at the Tomb, and when she announced the news of the Resurrection to the disciples, Mary Madgalene was, in a sense, the church on earth.

The Irish language radio station I listen to online made a point today to play U2’s “In the Name of Love” and Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” written in honor of MLK. It’s not January, but I’d much rather celebrate him than another person whose birthday it actually is. Also, happy pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Getting ready for No Kings tomorrow. Making signs and listening to a list of protest music I’ve been adding to regularly since 2016. Studies say if 3.5% of the population is in the street it leads to regime change. That’s about 12 million. Let’s do it! Who’s with me? #nokings

This is a great idea, especially today. I’m turning off the news stream and knitting something! 🧶 How about you?

Yes! It’s a real banger. I got to see Les Arts Florissants perform _Poppea_ live. It was one of the best things I’ve ever seen.

If you want listen to Glass and Schubert on their joint-birthday, WKCR at Columbia University is playing 24-hours of both composers today. Stream here: www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/

Philip Glass is 89 today. And Franz Schubert is 229. See why that’s related.

In a world where grief bleeds through the seams of our hyperconnected lives, where minds fracture under invisible weight, where democracy withers in the shadow of rising authoritarians—joy is no longer luxury. It's insurrection.

One of @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social‘s best! She quotes W.H. Auden on Tolkien: "Evil, that is, has every advantage but one – it is inferior in imagination. Good can imagine the possibility of becoming evil … but Evil, defiantly chosen, can no longer imagine anything but itself.”

To reiterate: (The fact that he had a gun he never drew is immaterial; the videos show that they attacked him before they knew it; they murdered him after they confiscated it.)

The triumph of the AV guy! An amazing documentary about the propaganda Putin forces Russian schools to teach, made possible by a rebel AV man. It’s on the short list for an Oscar! youtu.be/9150MCMSrgc?...
