love when democrats talk about kitchen table issues as if trans people and immigrants don’t have kitchen tables 🙃
The men's hockey final was fun to watch. Almost as fun as the hockey final.
Major thanks to @pwcdanica.bsky.social, who started our Data Center Reform Lobby Day today with a strong message: no amount of money or #SuperBowl ads can buy public trust, people power can't be beaten. @gonatureforward.bsky.social @cleanvirginia.org

I think the most important of form of protest, is attending the Caps pride night, standing, and shaking your head during Lady Gaga singing “Born This Eat” to let everyone know you’re a bigot as well as a performative coward
Union, union, union.
Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."
Amazing job by Carrie last night!!! She showed all of us last night how powerful it is just to do something, ANYTHING rather than waiting for perfection to start. We need all of our community members, and I am thankful Carrie is in my community!
Data center articles we’ve been reading to stay in the loop:
🌿"In 2026, more data center regulations could be coming in Maryland" by Christine Condon, Maryland Matters: marylandmatters.org/2026/01/03/d...
I’ll be there! Bring your clean, stuffed animals and reach out to Carrie if you are a musician interested in closing out the event!
Thanks for sharing Carrie, I would like to join you!
surrounding them after they just killed somebody and shouting “you can’t kill us all, nazis” is legitimate “ready to run through a wall” inspirational
they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.
OOTD because my lovely big ass blanket coat was slaying in Annapolis

OVERRIDE PASSES THE HOUSE! LFGOOOOOO!
Another rep quoted Morgan Wallen as a philosopher…and then talked about the 1000s of jobs that data centers employ and then misquotes how much the study will cost. $1.2 mill will go to ALL the study bills, not just the data center study bill
The House chambers with the vote on the board!
The override is up for the House. A rep from St. Mary’s is talking about how the Study Bill is a distraction from the real problem….the energy crisis?
Angie and Mariah smiling into the camera, around the new Speaker banging her gavel!
Mariah and I are here and SPEAKER Peña-Melnyk has just called the House to order!

The Data Center Study Override passes the Senate! Two Senators spoke in support of the data that this bill will provide. Running over to the House side now.
The MD flag rolling out over the crowd at the UMD vs Michigan men’s basketball game.
President Bill Ferguson calling the Special Session into order.
Happy Special Session Day! This is how I wish they started us off versus how it actually looks like within the Senate chambers. We kicked off with a prayer for patience and understanding.

Shhh my show is on
I think it's really telling that there's never been a hot person who's into AI
Chat, are we cooked ?
I’m howling.
Angie standing in front of a screen that says "Pop Quiz: Are data centers an equity issue?" while presenting at a UMD Foundations of Public Health Class. She is smiling and flashing a thumbs up.
