Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.

From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."

I've seen this first-hand in research I'm doing on parenting apps. 1/🧵

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

“People like Maxim — who refuse to become silent accomplices to the Kremlin’s crimes — are saving our country’s honor amid this current darkness. And it will be they who will lead Russia back to normality once the drawn-out nightmare of Putin’s rule is over.”

Ouch! I have had climbing kittens and can affirm this is painful in places where the clothes aren’t thick enough. I learned to keep them in a room until the meal is ready.

This line didn’t make sense the first time he said it, and it doesn’t make sense now.

The fact that they continue to demonize millions of patriotic Americans engaging in peaceful protest tells you everything you need to know about them.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.
