Explain to me why #LugiMangione, who (allegedly) shot and killed one man point blank and threatened no one else is facing terrorism charges; but #VanceBoelter who targeted 2 legislators, killing one and her spouse and targeted scores more and #NoKings marchers, isn't. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/u...

#Fortnite Blitz! Is so funnnnnnnnn 🎮

Shoutout to my transgender brothers and sisters. No one should ever be asked to show the amount of courage you show, and yet you are forced to display it every single day. I hope very soon it will not be asked of you in the very process of living.

CNN sucks donkey taint.. You don’t honestly believe I’m gonna pay for your shitty both sides coverage now do you?! Stick it up your ass! @cnn.com

Me too!!

If anyone needs a reminder of what January 6th looked like:

Musk cannot be “turned”, “flipped”, “allied” with. He is a Nazi and he’s killed 300,000 people, mostly children. Anyone considering taking his political contributions or discussing allying with him has no moral compass nor should they be near power.

#EidMubarak to all our Muslim communities celebrating Eid al-Adha.   I hope everyone has a wonderful celebration marking the end of the Hajj. #EidAlAdha

We cannot arrest our way out of homelessness. Solving homelessness requires improving access to affordable housing, mental health care, and addiction services. People need housing, not handcuffs.

We don’t celebrate Pride for the rainbows or parades, we do it because *right now* someone out there believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love.   That’s why we celebrate Pride—because we want to build a world where no one feels that way.

Here's a Pride meme. Happy Pride to everyone, even those who can not celebrate openly and safely. You are loved and seen. #Pride

Let us speak clearly. All human beings have inherent rights. It doesn't matter where you were born or what your physical characteristics are, you have a right to self determination. You have a right to equal protection before the law. You have a right to live peacefully and pursue your happiness.

“Freaky Tales” was the best lift! 80’s music, OAK, and community over n*azies.

The world needs more of this and less of most other things

I’m getting ready to kickstart the “Spring Sale” for my two courses. Hopefully, it’ll start tomorrow morning! ✨ I only have two sales a year: Black Friday, and this one in the spring. So if you’ve been thinking about picking up one or both of my courses, this will be the best time. 😄

No surprises here, complicit cowards, every last one of them…

Sending love and support to our transgender service members. Thank you for your continued desire to serve and protect this country. I’m so sorry this pathetic draft dodger has any say in who can defend our country and the Constitution since he has no intention of doing either. 🤍🏳️‍⚧️

@joshwcomeau.com mentioned this survey and I completed it. Really gave me some food for thought! If you identify as a woman, I hope you consider letting me "snowball sample" you 😃 survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to release our client Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia student unlawfully detained for advocating for Palestinian human rights. This is the first order mandating the release of a student arrested by Trump in retaliation for their speech.

As every plant in my neighborhood is flowering, and there is SO much to be angry about, good to encourage joy to bloom.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Needed to look this up last night to get the precise language of one of my favorite Toni Morrison quotes: "There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal."

I can’t find the original bsky post, but it mentioned some current administration offenses were originally grievances prefix to our constitution. 🤯 constitutioncenter.org/education/cl...

And if they had the power to spring Tate out of Romania, they have the power to spring Abrego García out of El Salvador.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

“Planet of the incels”, wow Dr Who is not playing tonight.

*Dangerous Coats* Someone clever once said Women were not allowed pockets In case they carried leaflets To spread sedition Which means unrest To you & me A grandiose word For commonsense Fairness Kindness Equality So ladies, start sewing Dangerous coats Made of pockets & sedition

Next week’s Crafting with Friends project 🌸

Donated again today 🛡️

Just finished the Fundamentals Bootcamp from @exercism.bsky.social It is truly unique and fun, with a supportive community. Part 2 starting in April! exercism.org/courses/fron...

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Truer words were never spoken.

Tonight’s Crafting with Friends project. Groovy 🍄

Do you know why Americans are angry? Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant.  At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%. We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.

Keep this in mind: The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was carried out by executive order—from the President of the United States. 🧵

MUSK: A sophisticated cyberattack from Ukraine took out Twitter's servers REALITY: Twitter's servers were not secured properly and were publicly visible Great explainer here from @lhn.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/x-ddos...

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

Thoughts on boycotts: inflict pain on the corporation. Buying a couple 99 cent ebooks from a self-published author on Amazon is fine. Don’t buy a microwave on it. Purity is never the answer. Restraint though and thoughtfulness is.

That is exactly true.
