So many examples but my favorite is how, as MINORITY leader, she got trump to pass a budget that only reflected liberal priorities. Biggest increase to the NEA in my lifetime, passed under a president who loathes it.

A book that helped get me through a particularly dark few days in American life: WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON by @venessakelley.bsky.social. Rich prose, vivid detail, grounded in the actual world we live in but with a tidal pull of solidarity and hope. Oh, also it’s a boricua merman romance.

@stephenking.bsky.social just a little objective proof that NEVER FLINCH has real power. Got a cardio workout from the climax. Thank you, as always, for your writing.
Holly’s at that bench now, about to have some fish tacos. Let me go see how the rest of it turns out.

Yes! From the great book “The AI Con” by @alexhanna.bsky.social and @emilymbender.bsky.social.
(Seriously this book is so smart, and also unexpectedly funny for such an important non-fiction book. You should get it and read it!)
