I am a spouse, parent, teacher, nerd, sewist, gardener, community volunteer, and news junkie. In my free time I enjoy cooking, baking, tai chi, espresso Americanos, word puzzles and historic fiction and working toward freedom from fascism.
I’ve seen a few people commenting today that the idea of separating the MMR vaccine into three separate shots might be a good strategy to get anti-vax parents to vaccinate. Absolutely not. Here’s why. First, countering anti-vax misinformation is like playing whack a mole. You bat down one lie…
Gym Jordon is a vile piece of shit along with a majority of all the Republicans in Congress.
Jennifer C@thejenniwren.teamlh.social · last mo.Gym Jordan on Max Miller accused of scalding his ex-wife & fracturing his toddler's collarbone: "family matter," pray for him. Dozens of Ohio State wrestlers say he ignored their abuse for years too. Protecting predators is his pattern Redraw his district all you want. Vote the MFer out anyway.
PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”
I would read letters like Emily’s every night in the White House. They were powerful reminders of why the work we did mattered, and who we were fighting for.

This is Bryan. Once a week, he takes a shelter pup on a New York City adventure in his ‘Adopt Me’ backpack, hoping someone will fall in love. He films their big day out, and almost every dog he’s featured has found a forever home. [📹 madmax_fluffyroad] Original post
This is it! Polls are open until 9pm tonight. Have you voted yet? Have you reminded your friends & family to vote? Hope to see you out there.
Good morning. We're starting the day angry. Exhibits on COVID-19 masking and health equity have been papered over at CDC's David J. Sencer Museum. This admin prefers to whitewash history. Let’s never stop telling the truth, defending evidence, and holding power accountable.
A trail of destruction. Imagine their reaction if Obama had done even one of these things.
We will not stop fighting alongside our immigrant neighbors! We will continue to organize, show up, and speak out! Shout out to IndivisibleGA10, Indivisible Boldly Blue, and all the people across Georgia who took action to block DHS from building another concentration camp.
The young voters who elected Mayor Mamdani have lagged way behind in early voting counts this month. If you want to do the mayor a solid and replace the status quo in Congress with new progressive energy, Election Day is tomorrow from 6a-9p. Check your poll site at vote.nyc and remind your friends.

Good morning to everyone except the officials who signed off on a detention facility where inadequate screening contributed to a TB outbreak, three detainees died, and evidence was reportedly missing or destroyed in one detainee death investigation. None of this is normal or acceptable.

After progressive candidate Jay Vaingankar released a campaign ad in Hindi, the MAGA threats came: “You are despicable & you will be deported. I will call ICE and I will make sure you lose this election. I hate you and everyone like you,” one person emailed the campaign. zeteo.com/p/former-mag...
Can I let you in on a secret? It's easy to create lots of shitty jobs that don't pay well. Yes, the economy added jobs last month, but real wages are dropping. The paychecks of most American workers aren’t covering rising costs — they’re getting poorer. This isn't something to celebrate.
Private prison company GEO Group, which runs Delaney Hall, gave $1M+ to Trump's Super PAC in 2024 and his inauguration in 2025. Not only has Trump since rewarded GEO with billions in ICE contracts, but a top former GEO executive has now been named acting ICE director. Cashing in on cruelty.
Yesterday, we post about the Trump administration’s plan to require all federal workers to sign nondisclosure agreements. The government is not a business. It exists to serve the public and the public has a right to know how it’s being run.

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran. By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...
