We all experience loss. Sometimes willingly. Sometimes not. Self awareness is not only good for us individually but collectively it has great power. Just a simple reminder. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Our government has gone rogue. That is probably the understatement of the year. But it sure makes it clear that they’re working for themselves—not us.

Any judge--sorry, immigration judge, not real judge--who requires a 2-year-old to represent themself and then deports them deserves to lose their license. And also rot in hell.

There’s something about constraints that get our creative juices going. It can happen in our careers and it can happen in how we reimagine our country can be. This essay is on what it did to how I saw myself.

There are a lot of evil shits in this administration, but this gormless ghoul is right up there at the top. I hope @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social have a Project 2025-sized playbook of investigations and inquiries into what he's been up to, because I bet we only know a fraction of his fuckery

“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.” Jack Layton said good bye in a beautiful way and these words still bring me comfort 🙏🏽

The world feels loud. Cruelty is real. Injustice is real But I keep wondering whether we're living through more than a political moment. What if we're witnessing a collective course correction? I explored that question in a new essay. Link in comments.

These hero dogs chased off a man who tried to sexually assault two female dog walkers. They were able to push him away, and then their pack of 11 rescue dogs ran him off into a tunnel and ripped off a piece of his pants. The dogs are all getting our highest honor, a 15/10

Step down centrists! Your day is done. We said poo poo to your neoliberalism with rainbows & a BLM sticker on it. We said boo to collecting a salary as a politician doing zero because making zero change is actually central to your ideology. We said why do we have a government if it doesn’t serve us?

This is a place families, including little kids, go for a little comfort at what may be the scariest time of their lives. It’s where a just-released detainee can go to get some food and coffee, clothes, grocery cards, a ride somewhere, a friend to go with them to their next immigration hearing.

These are empty canisters of tear gas, flashbangs, pepper spray, and less lethal rubber bullets used on protestors at Delaney Hall by Mikie Sherrill’s state police. CS gas is illegal to use in warfare under the Chemical Weapons Convention but Sherrill just used it against her own constituents.

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.
