Y'all. Imagine what we could have accomplished if we handed a **quarter of a billion dollars** to a different social services agency every day for 5 months. Yes - I know budgets don't work that way. But they could. They don't because we don't want them to. Policy cruelty is a choice.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

It's VOTER REGISTRATION DAY!! Are you registered? Are you SURE?? Ask 5 people you know today if they are registered. And we all know to avoid votesafe dot org, yes? It's a scammy Musk tool, so don't fall for it. Vote.gov (for the moment?) is still reliable.

I hate this timeline #472 Spent 15 minutes researching how to throw away old lightbulbs. That's probably less time than Duke Energy spent worrying about polluting the water in my home state with coal ash (and making residents pay to clean it up). Why am I being careful when they don't have to?

Jokes on the FCC and ABC - I wouldn't have seen this if they hadn't made it harder to see. I don't agree with everything he says and I certainly don't hold his views on faith. But if you can't get behind this guy I don't know what to tell you.

I mean I don't know how to make it any clearer than this.

‘The Matrix’ creator Lilly Wachowski on J.K. Rowling and the new ‘Harry Potter’ series: “She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support ‘Harry Potter,’ you’re supporting trans genocide.” variety.com/2026/tv/feat...

Me, to man at Costco: OMG is that an Odyssey of the Mind shirt?? I LOVED OM! I miss it so much. Best experience of my childhood. Him: "it is, and I agree. We did it for years. You know it's funny, every time I wear one someone comes up to tell me how much they loved it." Well of course they do.

I GOT A MAMMOGRAM AND 2 VACCINES AND A TEETH CLEANING TODAY AND AT NO POINT DID ANYONE SO MUCH AS OFFER ME A STICKER. BEING AN ADULT IS STUPID AND I HATE IT SO MUCH. And NO the Bandaid does NOT count as a sticker. But seriously check yer tits & get yer shots people. Public health is us now.

Man the Times really is out here trying to just flat out LIE to Americans at this point. Syphilitic Grandpa tried to tell people that he was carried out of the rubble of the World Trade Center and they don't report that?? Let's play my favorite game: 💥Pretend 💥Obama 💥Did it!

Roy Edroso@edroso.bsky.social · last wk.

Trump told 9/11 families that he was rescued from the rubble of the World Trade Center -- an obvious and shocking lie. Here's how the New York Times reports it. This is like reporting George Wallace's "segregation forever" speech as "Governor speaks at inauguration. Some remarks controversial."

Go watch this right now and rejoice because there is still this sort of talent in the universe and we get to enjoy it.

Stop giving the New York Times your money. Yes, I'm aware that - There are good journalists there - The opinion page is not the same as the news - It's important to share different opinions. That's not what this is. This is giving tacit approval to abhorrent people.

Can you imagine seeing this behavior and thinking it's a good idea that this guy has the nuclear codes? If I saw this behavior from a relative, I'd make a phone call and ask for a wellness check. It's unhinged. He's clearly in the throes of cognitive collapse and we're doing... Nothing?

Monza is not for the faint of heart. Fantastic racing on display here... MAN I miss Ferrari being a truly competitive team. Watching a Ferrari driver conduct the anthem here is just the best. #KeepFightingMichael

Gettin' in some #Caturday under the wire...

You have got to be kidding me. This is why I don't gamble. Well done. #F1 #Monza #NoSpoilers

Curious to hear from savvier folks than I - I'm writing my Postcards to Swing States, and this is the message they say is "most effective": "Thanks for being a voter. Who you vote for is private, but whether you vote is public record. Please vote etc" I find this wildly off-putting. Thoughts?

They've been coming in in twos and threes; not enough for jam or a shortcake. Therefore, I stand in the kitchen and eat them. They've been marvelous. There is truly something magnificent about snacking my way through the backyard.

One of the tangible things I am proudest of is helping get a public toilet in Harvard Square. It took years, MANY meetings, and significant advocacy, but it's still there. Access to basic sanitation is an indicator of a healthy society & a clear marker for how we treat people. Everybody poops.

Folks, the ability to hold 2 conflicting ideals in your head at the same time is part of being an adult. Two things can be true at the same time, & often are. ICE should be abolished & leadership tried. They are in their entirety a despicable organization. Also true; this Milo shit is hilarious.

Maine mycology. (I'm not eating any of these and you shouldn't either)

I do not use the term “y’all” to sound folksy. I use it to honor the Beastie Boys constantly in my daily life.

My mom shared with me tonight that she's never seen RHPS and friends I think the only reasonable response is that we get into costume and do the full AP experience for her. Who's in?
