I know it's cringe as fuck, but small acts of kindness are going to be so important for the foreseeable future.
Being kind and doing kind things can be your lifeline. It can keep you sane.

“The worst place ever I’ve been in my life," Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker, told me over the phone from Guantanamo Bay last week.
Sakariye is one of 7 or 8 Somalis who are being held at Gitmo. They say guards tell them the order to keep Somalis at the facility comes from DC.

My "I am not complicit" shirt has a lot of people asking questions already answered by my shirt.
Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine:
“I am not complicit. […] Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have [my own opinions], and it doesn't mean I don't care.”

I just think it's so funny that Samuel Alito had to write an eight-page dissent to an unsigned one-paragraph decision that he 1000% would have gone the other way on if the parties were switched.

Everyone behind him is clapping because that's like two weeks worth of lip filler
Trump: "If we win the midterms, we will provide a Trump dividend -- $5,000 for every adult citizen in our country. We can do that because our country has never done better. We are taking in trillions of dollars."

My son asked me yesterday if I was going to ask @jennieberney.bsky.social to be my Kirkentine for the Kirkaversary.
Middle school children in my little liberal oasis were apparently wishing each other “Happy Kirkaversary” today so that’s how it’s going, if you wanted to know.

At the last Presbyterian General Assembly, we voted to affirm a *right* to gender-affirming care. The PCUSA loves, affirms, includes, and ordains trans people. Trans people belong and trans kids deserve to play sports with their friends.

I made a resolution to care way less about elections in states where I do not reside and cannot vote, but since I've hyped Talarico as a Presbyterian, I gotta say it really fucking sucks to see him capitulate to the bigots on that issue. Just a massive disappointment.
