Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

Helping my mother help someone today. Her 83-year old widower neighbor is being targeted in exactly this manner and he is despondent. Seriously, check on your old folks. 💔

This is incredibly disturbing. The number of cases in Mississippi alone of Black people who met their deaths in dubious/highly suspicious ways, only for authorities to shrug it off and do a piss poor job if investigating...there are so many names

Don't be jealous, but I never watched Grey's Anatomy or any version of The L Word. Which means I've now got 422 hours of TV to look forward to. That's 17.5 days or just over a month of hermitizing, if I sleep.

I wish Mom had lived to see this heartening act of love by @corybooker.com. I haven't cried much since she died—she's out of pain, after all. But the thought of her missing this brings tears. Imagining how she would be inspired by Sen. Booker's dedication makes me ache with missing her. #resist

Friends, Any recommendations for U.S. newspapers whose subscription fees don't support fascism? Enjoying sources like The Guardian, but want a domestic perspective, too. Would like to support actual journalism.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science. The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people. The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

It feels worth emphasizing that these websites being taken down aren’t some federal worker’s hobby, or an agency’s side project. They exist as matters of policy, some directly mandated in law, some through government contracts. Taking them down is fundamentally illegitimate and autocratic.

I read that interview with @amyklobuchar.com in the NYT. She's using an outdated playbook. She's trying to play by the rules with craven people who are breaking laws & ignoring the Constitution. She & all Dems need to step up their game & take much more dramatic action. WAKE UP & DO SOMETHING!

it's really all inconceivable. but happening. the path to whatever we thought the U.S. could become eventually is obliterated. but after all these fucks have run their course, we (or our children) can build something different.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Second, resistance doesn't have to be a dramatic act. It can be a small act, like losing a sheet of paper, taking your time processing something, not serving someone in a restaurant. Small acts taken by thousands have big effects.
