My only thought to share for 10/7 is one should be capable of mourning the victims of massacre without adding a “but” & I mean that for everyone This isn’t a comment on anything specific, just a sad takeaway from the last years If you lost someone in the violence, may their memory be a blessing.

🚨 TEXAS PEEPS, CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION. A DPS screwup left voter registration applications sitting unprocessed for months. The deadline to register is October 5. Don’t find out at the ballot box that you’re not registered. CHECK IT NOW. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

President Trump wants to soften one of the strongest legal protections American workers have: the right to hold an employer accountable when retirement savings are mishandled. Here's what you need to know: propub.li/4g078bJ

Saying “We don’t want a politician” when you’re talking about high office is like saying you don’t want a surgeon to do your surgery. Most of our best presidents had already held office at some level. The Senate and the WH are not entry level positions.

The greatest delusion of all—one shared by both the would-be shooter and the president he targeted—is that violence is an expression of strength, and nonviolence a symptom of weakness. Now, I am not a pacifist. I do not believe that violence is always wrong. And I am not arguing that it is always ineffective. But the Trump administration’s greatest failures have been connected to its obsession with violence, and its opponents’ most dramatic victories have resulted from the organized and courageous use of nonviolence.

For his entire life, every word out of his mouth has been a lie. And the media stopped caring a long time ago that he lies as he breathes. Hopefully one day soon the American people will say they’re tired of being lied to every single day.

And proving yourself to one member or a small group will not remove this barrier with anyone else. There will be all types of people and some will be willing to take more risks socially than others, but that doesn’t make those individuals more reasonable

If someone is part of a minority that is subjected to socially sanctioned hostility & potential violence on a daily basis, they are generally not gonna give ppl the benefit of the fucking doubt because doing so is deeply unsafe. The best route will often be “hostile to you until proven truly safe”

When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.
Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

You watch Jon Ossoff speak like this about the actual stakes & then you watch Andy Beshear speak about Funny Words, & the abject poverty of the latter approach to Democratic politics in 2026 is so stark that you don't know whether to laugh or cry about the latter.

I don’t post pics of my kids but here’s the sign we took today :)
Large paper protest sign. The top in black marker has a quote from George Washington’s letter to the first synagogue in America, “To bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance”

Then in the middle it says “I would have written something meaner but my kids are here”

The bottom has two big drawings. My 7yo drew the planet with people all over it surrounded by a rainbow and wrote “everyone should be together” above it. My 4yo drew a rainbow and hearts and had her sister write “rainbow love” above it.

When I was in hs I had this theory that the reason we didn’t officially declare war was so if we lost we could say “we didn’t lose - we aren’t at war.” As I got older, I favored more complex explanations, but I think teen Michael actually had this right. It’s war if we win, just a lil op if we don’t
