The rule that the Speaker of the House has sole discretion as to when members of Congress are sworn-in to office is obviously flawed AF.

Once election results are recognized and certified, any active judge should be allowed to swear representatives into office.

People who mock the "No Kings" title, saying, "Donald Trump never asked to be a king," show:

(1) A gross inattention to what he is doing; and

(2) A profound ignorance of American history and what the Revolution was all about.

I know so many Black women that have been fired since this administration that don’t work in government and are rethinking their career paths because it has been difficult to get a job at their level. Even jobs, they are overqualified for won’t hire them either.

So has anyone else had to rethink their career as a result of this administration?

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

And let us never forget that menopause is not exclusive to ciswomen, many of our trans & non-binary siblings will also experience it: that is also extremely important to acknowledge

I keep thinking how impossible it feels to balance the need to openly, honestly acknowledge how immensely difficult & distressing menopause can be & how impactful on every aspect of the body-mind, with the need not to make it excessively forbidding or frightening for those yet to experience it

Rose Ruane @regretteruane.bsky.social · 19h

Feel compelled to acknowledge world menopause day today as it’s such an important thing to talk about without shame or embarrassment, but anything that feels wise or useful is currently beyond me.
So just love & solidarity to anyone else going through it, whatever version of it you’re navigating

I dont think everyone does survive it though, is the thing.
Menopause has been much harder on me than puberty was, and I was EIGHT when I started my period. Of all of the suicidal ideation in my life, 80% of it has been since the onset of perimenopause. While that's probably an outlier, it's hard af

Anyone who remembers puberty should know that menopause is no picnic. It’s puberty backwards in high heels. But equally, anyone who remembers puberty knows you survive. And that’s the thing to hold onto.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Weird that antifa can stage an insurrection in every major city across the country without assaulting a single police officer with a flagpole.
