This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

I was very sad to learn of the passing of one of the most amazing artists of my generation, Drew Struzan. His was a stellar talent, especially in his chosen field of endeavor. 1/3

I know he means artsy drama club lesbians when he says "blue hair" but in reality these rallies are attended by octogenarian gray tinted Blue Hairs

not a huge Moulton fan but I do really like markey. However, Markey should not run again and allow MA to have a robust primary.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

people made fun of selfie sticks but they were without a doubt more flattering than almost all handheld selfies

Trump is right about his unflattering picture. Shooting too low is my biggest portrait pet peeve. In my job I have had to retouch countless booger filled nostrils from photogs shooting too low. It warps your face, makes your neck look like garbage and is NEVER good on anyone over the age of like 24

I just spent the day leading a zine folding. We folded 2000 of @meganpiont.bsky.social 's "We Marched; Now What?" zines to give out at No Kings. Find an event near you, and then pick a next step from the zine.
