Thinking about the poem ”Old Ironsides” by Oliver Wendell Holmes and when and where it should be read and by whom.
Up making cinnamon rolls. Once the dough is made, the day is mine.

The long road to recovery starts now.

The impact on our economy, our schools, and people’s lives won’t be reversed overnight. That work starts today.

I’ll have more at 9:45.

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

Bad Bunny’s beautiful and joyful portrayal of Puerto Rico stands on the shoulders of Kendrick Lamar’s love letter to Compton last year.

Watching the biggest performance in the world become a representation of real people in real, American places is beautiful. #SuperBowl

Kevin Roberts of The Heritage Foundation said well before the 2024 election that we were "in the middle of the Second American Revolution that shall remain bloodless if the left allows it."

Somehow many are still not putting the pieces together that rules, for them, are out the window.

I was on a post on IG about a woman talking about her husband thinks she should "move on" about the murder of Renee Good, and stumbled upon what I feel like is a pretty important reply.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment
