K, i was thinking about my neighbor and piano teacher when i grew up. She was a kind elderly woman who was so nice to my family. We were probably the first non-white family to move on the block. But she welcomed us with kindness and regularly gave me a huge bear hug. She was a large woman 1/

I don't like this journalist Sarah Jeong. She definitely hasn't been sleeping in the knife box. Probably has the wit of I'll fitting wooden clogs.

Saw this elsewhere. That this bit from Python sums up Portland's response to ICE and Trump.

I love that my city is skilled at this rude wit. #humor #fightingTheAbsurd

We need a good chant for Saturday. I suggest we use the chorus from "My Shot" from Hamilton. Who wants to help and start it?

-"We're not going to throw away our shot"
-"Whoa -oh- oh! Whoa -oh- oh!"
- "Rise up when you're living on your knees!"
-"Rise up! Rise up! Rise up."

Don't feel intimidated by the racist texts from those young white Republicans. If anything, feel sad that it's possible for people to think and feel this way. And more importantly know and repeat OUT LOUD that these young men are wrong. Know that History will prove it.

Agree wholeheartedly. Read the Earthsea Trilogy when i was 12 and it was a treasure at that time re-read them recently and ♥️📖

Every one of my friends knows this but Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) was an absolute treasure. Every single one of her works that I have read has been even better on rereading. To give someone the Earthsea books for the first time is a mitzvah. You'll make their life better forever.

Feeling the need to remind myself of this Ursula K LeGuin quote today:

"We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings."

the same people who warned you about john fetterman are warning you about that dude in Maine. if you want to get duped into another fetterman, by all means continue attacking Janet Mills.

if you'd like a reliable vote for democracy, democratic values, and Mainers, go with a proven track record.

This is better. The only way to fight that absurd orange primate is with more absurdity.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.
