Jenifer Lewis said it best: 35.9 million people sat out 2024, and we don’t let that shit happen again. Not this time. Not with 90 days on the clock and everything on the line. Speak out, knock louder, make it impossible to ignore. It’s on all of us to flip it all blue. #BlueWaveIn90Days
Terrific answer from the great historian David Blight. Museums aren't there to inform us of all the old answers, but to inspire for us all the new questions.
Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.gov · last wk.America’s history is complex, inspiring, painful, and unfinished. The Smithsonian exists to educate and preserve that history honestly, not to conform to any administration's preferred narrative.
One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

There’s no indecency in finding joy where it still exists. If anything, it’s dereliction of duty not to. We all keenly know what feels terrible. We’d all love to know what doesn’t.
Make no mistake, they are the targets. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that when you make it harder and harder for parents to qualify for SNAP, the kids suffer the consequences. GOP lawmakers knew exactly what they were doing.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 2mo agoChildren weren’t the target of federal food program changes, but they’re increasingly “collateral damage,” one expert said. The drop in the number of children receiving SNAP benefits is a “public health crisis” in the making, said another expert.

Sen. Schmitt should fully understand issues before speaking

I just finished the series finale of The Boys. After 5 seasons of blood, gore, sex, violence, filth, and over the top performances, they came up with a satisfyingly touching conclusion. Good on ya, mates.
I just finished “The Language of Liars” by @slhuang.com. What a marvelous and sobering tale about the stories we tell ourselves in the name of science and commerce. Thank you.
I am disappointed I didn’t hear this first from @schnorkles.bsky.social. Seems right up his galley. :-)

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Roberts and Alito won today. But just like the Dred Scott, Plessy, and Koramatsu majorities, their work will be undone. By all of us. It’s appropriate to feel sick and angry about Callais. Use that disgust as fuel. This is not over. Time to get to work. (great recap @chrisgeidner.bsky.social!)
Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 3mo agoAt Law Dork, I covered today's SCOTUS Voting Rights Act ruling and temporary protect status arguments. One of the few reporters in the courtroom this morning, watching Justice Kagan announcing her dissent from the bench is a moment I will not soon forget. I wrote a lot about today. Read on ...
Here’s my position on whether you buy my book from Amazon. I would strongly prefer you don’t! First of all, the price on Bookshop is exactly the same right now (mod shipping). Libro will give you the same audio and ownership of the files! Kobo ebooks and readers are great!
