I hate ethno-nationalism. My family can trace their roots back to the 4th C AD Eoghanacht Loch Lein. They trace to Aengus, a Tuatha Dé Dannan god, who arrived with the Gaelic Celts 2,500y ago. I also have English, French, Italian & Viking roots. None of us is ethnically pure. It’s a nonsense.

Motherfucking wind farms…

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

5:00 a.m. delivery from Amazon? Seems like a good way to get yourself hurt. Dislike.

As a mother of young scientists, I am so concerned for their futures. For ALL of our futures. www.science.org/content/arti...

Why isn't the women's NCAA tournament front page on The Athletic this morning? #theathletic #uconn #ncaa

Make today Tiny Generosity Day. Let someone in your lane. Do the dishes when it’s not your turn. Don’t talk during someone’s favorite show. Find someone new online and say something kind about their post. Give a child some attention. Give a dog a cookie. (that last one)

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

@jahimes.bsky.social Disappointed to see a CT representative not standing with his party. Dems need a unified front.

Incomprehensible how a 50 year celebration of a LIBRARY of all things gets fouled with MAGA bullshit. #kluwe

WE SHOULD ALL BE FURIOUS

Unreal demands. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

European friends: Do not accept lectures on democracy & freedom of speech from an Administration that denies the 2020 election results and is now suing & intimidating news outlets whose reporting they don’t like. Stand tall against right-wing extremism. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

#midterms should be after 100 days for this presidency, not two years

Why aren't we pronouncing DOGE AS DODGY? #USCOUP

Math is hard... youtube.com/shorts/B7yfo...

Democrats may shut down the government to keep Trump from gutting it. Republicans need Democratic votes to keep the government open past March 14. They could use this leverage to rein in Trump and Elon Musk’s power grab.

So much for checks and balances #uscoup

Take that CMA'S 😅

Decided to place an order from Target instead of Amazon in an effort to show my support for a company with a backbone. Was planning on making a real effort to change my buying habits. This is disappointing. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I try my best not to be superstitious, really, I try, but I cannot shake the feeling that we should understand the bald eagle in Illinois that recently died of bird flu as a very bad omen.

. gov pages related to climate and women's reproductive health have disappeared. What's next?

Also why is Melania dressed up like Spy vs. Spy?

Hey Al, thank you for the music. I loved seeing you on Space Ghost Coast to Coast when I was in college. I like how you always managed to find comedy in absurdity. Please stay safe. The next 4 years will be ripe for parody, and fascists, famously, can’t take a joke. 😏

This 😅

@realhopejahren.bsky.social recommending you to my stem studies daughter as a great follow. She's about to graduate college and the pressure is intense. So hard to strike a life balance..
