When people read the headlines that RFK is going to make them use placebo trials for vaccines again, it makes it sound like scientists are being unsafe. But, it’s incredibly misleading.

I believe you can help. I also know that you can choose not to help. The choice is yours. Whether I respect you or not is mine. This is about running. This is not about running.

Parenthood is your three-nager walking up to you for a high five and then just sneezing on your hand, covering it in snot, giggling and walking away while your wife laughs.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

If you believe in something because Elon Musk told you to, I don’t think highly of you at all.

A negotiation with my toddler
@linthenerd.bsky.social: We have to set a timer. 1 minute or 2 minutes
Davin: 3 minutes
Caitlin: no buddy, I said 1 minute or 2.
Davin: I said three minutes
Me: hey bud, how about 90!
Davin: YES!
Me: Alexa set a 90 second timer
Davin: see mama. Not 1 or 2. NINETY.

Saving money is only impressive if you can maintain quality at the same time. If I throw you out on the street and say "You're welcome, I just saved you a monthly rent payment" that's not really helpful

From the ‘50-‘70 (when I’m told we were great) the tax rate for wealthiest Americans was never <70%. Tax rates got slashed by Regan, bc trickle down would benefit us all. It’s been 40+ years and it didn’t work. Income inequality has risen dramatically in the US. Tax billionaires out of existence.

Here I am again today asking @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @blumenthal.senate.gov @delauro.house.gov what is the plan to fight the coup beyond strongly worded letters?! We depend on you, our children depend on you. Do we have to threaten to primary you? The longer you wait, the worse this gets!

Another presidential election cycle has come and gone. Yet again, Jill Stein was on the ticket. Yet again, Jill Stein has vanished into thin air. And yet people vote for her.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"
This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Analysis | RFK Jr's confirmation as HHS secretary may make it harder to get vaccines from your doctor. But Trump's pardon of Ross Ulbricht may make it easier to get fentanyl-laced versions on Silk Road.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social @blumenthal.senate.gov @delauro.house.gov as a constituent cancer survivor who will need care again in the next few years I look on in horror at RFK Jrs confirmation. I also implore you to DO SOMETHING. Land a fucking punch.

If I can figure out ways to sooth my toddlers tantrums while also watching fascism take hold in this country, I feel like our elected leaders @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov should be able to do the same Trump.

I’ve been a supporter of my Connecticut reps, but we need action against Trump and Elons legal coup. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social did a great thread yesterday, the longer we wait for our leaders to do something the more entrenched they will be. @delauro.house.gov @blumenthal.senate.gov

I’ve always said this was a big key to Trump’s appeal: What perversely excites a lot of people is that he represents liberation from the tyranny of basic decency.
I'd like to see more writing on how the Musk/Trump junta feels like a frontal attack on the entire concept of virtue, in even the most traditional senses.
They are actively demonizing and punishing everyone who doesn't worship Mammon.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

We have to do three things right now, 1) block bad Trump admin actions, 2) build an opposition party that will win elections, 3) help people who need it. If an activism idea doesn’t do one of those, it’s not a good one.
