Writing a young adult dystopian novel, building a food-forest, riding horses. My household contains four generations of family and most days we all still like each other. Lover of big ideas and democracy. Prone to quoting LOTR and Taylor Swift.

Weird to go to bed reading about the Brown shooting. Waking up to news about the Bondi Beach shooting and to be heading to bed reading that Rob Reiner and his wife were apparently stabbed to death.
I hope everyone affected finds some kind of peace.

That's what education paid for by property taxes is designed to do. As if Stephen Miller doesn't know that . . . his mission is to make sure it never changes.
From Mr. Octopus: “How about we just test Trump and compare those results?”
Stephen Miller: "If you subtract immigration out of test scores, all of the sudden our test scores skyrocket"

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

NEW: California now has nearly 17,000 megawatts of battery storage – reaching one-third of the way to our 2045 goal.
We're deploying more battery storage than any state in America, building a stronger grid, cutting pollution, and securing a safer future for our nation.

Some days the stupidity is so concentrated that I just feel like giving up on the idea of humanity.
The vast majority of homeowners with fire insurance never file a claim but we don't say fire insurance is a bad idea. Having the insurance *is* using the system. And I think that people actually understand this *because everyone needs health insurance*
Tell me you don’t understand risk pools without telling me you don’t understand risk pools

Yes, there's one thing we all know from every high school movie ever is that standing up to bullies only makes them stronger.
Every single one of these fucks is corrupt.

Exactly. I know Dems are always gonna be Dems (I'm like this too so I get it) but Jesus help us, sometimes read the room.
And this is why I said Schumer's offer and then this vote were catastrophically stupid. They not only destroyed the leverage Dems had, it changed the headline from GOP cruelty to Dem weakness and ineptitude.
Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Huge wins in NJ, NY, VA, PA, CA collectively indicate that a bold repudiation of MAGA politics has taken hold. An honest headline might read: “Democrats are in array”..The rending-the-garments, down-in-the-dumps attitude about party’s future is due for adjustment

whatever you think about his policies, hard to deny that he is one hell of a talented politician
