I just figured out Trump! His thinking: 1. I'm perfect, the very best, & people love me. If they don't love me/want to impeach or imprison me, it's because they're evil/losers/too stupid to live. So if they die it'd help me. 2. Midterms look bad for loser GOP (NOT ME!) so must rig it to save myself.

Please do a BREAKING post about the Mayor of Los Angeles, and how much crime has decreased since she took office. LA recently reported historic drops in violent crime, including decreases tied to community safety initiatives like the Office of the @mayor.lacity.gov Summer Night Lights program

Mayor Karen Bass • Jul 3 •
•••
Those long, summer nights can be times of trouble, but by providing positive activities for families and young people and activating our parks at night, Summer Night Lights is proven to increase public safety - and it's a way for people to have a lot of fun, too.

A 27% DROP
in homicides in neighborhoods most impacted by violence, referred to as Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) zones across the city. This coincided with a 19% citywide drop in homicides, the lowest on record in 60 years for the City of Los Angeles.

In honor of Gloria Steinem's passing, let's share the sexist things you remember from your childhood or early adult years. I'll go first: not being able to wear slacks to my public high school. Okay, your turn! #gloriasteinem

@connieschultz.bsky.social I just saw your Cleveland tedx talk from 9 years ago and I am feeling so inspired! I'm 72 and sometimes it feels like I'm drifting out of my lane. But maybe I need to make a new lane. Thanks for the encouragement.

I'm doing copy-edits now (for two different books!) and whenever I get to one of those (sadly correct) notes that identifies a timeline issue or a plothole, I'm basically like "Well, I guess I'll delete the book now and walk into the woods."

@garys79.bsky.social You posted House Rule IX, and I love the idea of it, but in 2025, the new House rules require the motion to be submitted by a majority party member with eight other majority party co-sponsors.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social You reposted Scott MacFarlane's announcement about congress going dark next week again, and you wrung your hands and said "They don't even pretend to care." That's not the fucking story. The STORY, Chris, is what are you going to do about Congress being abolished???

I really miss reading Carolyn Hax's advice column in the washington post but I cancelled my sub many months ago, when bezos kissed trumps little tiny ring finger. Now, I can't access her wisdom and grace. Only columns not in wapo are 10 years old. But if you are on BS, #CarolynHax, we're waiting.

Folks. We will NOT win the midterms by not being trump. Dem popularity is in the tank. We must present a unified front of simple, easily digestible ideas/policies that will benefit working people. ALL PEOPLE. And we better start getting it out there NOW. Leave the fine tuning to when we are back in
