a country

where affording
health care
is easy

in the street
is hard

why
is that
so much
to ask

[Greg Greene @ggreeneva]

@Dorothy410berry It was the only election I recall where the country had a clean fiscal slate — with the budget in surplus and dollars available for big plans and big dreams.

Then we squandered every bit of it.

@Dorothy410berry (And a zest for funny accounting, too — although that happens at a lower tier than studio-exec level. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

For progressive orgs making their #eXit today from this place, I hope to see you in the blue skies soon. For those in need of help with conscious uncoupling from here, monitor NN over there; we have some counsel in store.

[Netroots Nation @Netroots_Nation]

It’s time for us to #eXit. Musk is using this platform and the reach it gives him to undermine our democracy. It’s time to stop helping him. We will see you where so many members of our community are now, on Bluesky! We’ll be posting #NN26 from https://t.co/OQyL6EJait

Spread your wings. Fly on over. 🐦

Friends —

The world's richest man turned Twitter into a far-right propaganda machine and will continue to wield it as a cudgel against us. I'm more or less leaving here personally, and encourage others to do the same. I'm also trying to make it a bit easier to move to BS 🧵

A blue sky: the destination awaiting every bird ready to take flight.

@DanaHoule Not to spend time actually making content on this app, but … why was Lindy Li even a surrogate? Oy.

One sign of how effective these efforts are—on the independent side, too—is that I live in a heavily Dem area of Philadelphia, with two other loyal Dems, and NO ONE has knocked on our door since the day the last of our three mail-in ballots was marked as received by @PhillyVotes.

@ReignOfApril You were _just_ talking about this. 😑 (Good to meet you last night, BTW.)

[Greg Greene @ggreeneva]

@byjoelanderson @jdesmondharris (also, huge congrats to you both! 👏👏👏)

[Greg Greene @ggreeneva]

@byjoelanderson @jdesmondharris My kids fought like cats and dogs here in L.A., and the little one all but decked their older sibling once — but now they can spend hours playing in the toy room in total happiness. All I can say is, tell them right from wrong, show them the same, and let time pass. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@EntitledCycling Spotted this specimen at the fence of my 6 year old’s school the other day as I picked him up — and for perspective, I’m in a flippin’ Rivian:

[Greg Greene @ggreeneva]

@GregTSargent @nytpolitics As we both know, it’s hardly the only one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Greg Greene @ggreeneva]

@Dorothy410berry I … I wasn’t gonna say anything, but … (*nods in affirmation*)

[Greg Greene @ggreeneva]

@RNCResearch Keep this up, so you can get used to it — because we'll be laughing at y'all when the votes come in.

[Greg Greene @ggreeneva]

@Timodc Put that lime in the coconut, Tim — hell, treat yourself to two you’ve more than earned it.

[Greg Greene @ggreeneva]

@adambonin Law school fixes neither dumb nor dishonest, sadly.

[Greg Greene @ggreeneva]

@TVMoJoe Man. Stay safe. (As for me I’ll be in Santa Barbara for a few days — and it’ll be weirdly warm even there.)

@carimachet @davidminpdx When the Supreme Court concocted qualified immunity, I was 10.

Forgive me if I was more focused on Smurfs and other cartoons at the time.

We wondered who Trump would name as his running mate, when his key handservant has stood here all along — wearing a black robe and hoisting Trump, alongside his party, as high above the law as he can.

[Matt Ford @fordm]

Joke of a ruling. There is obviously no such thing as “presidential immunity” in the Constitution, and Roberts uses Air Bud logic to say otherwise. https://t.co/8iTOxMP0Bt
