Ten People You Should Be Following On Twitter.
- @rainnwilson He plays Dwight on The Office. He's funny. Follow him.
- @KeithOlbermann Keith just joined Twitter. If you consider yourself a "progressive", follow him. Good for jokes, MLB stuff, and possibly being on "Worst Twersons".
- @Roxy_n_Pearl Because they're Bulldogs, they're cute, and they tweet about the dog park!
- @NWF The National Wildlife Federation's official Twitter account. Helpful when you want to be informed on the recent Gulf oil spill & other important news.
- @iDharma Great daily Buddhist and social justice news, as well as dharma quotes. A great follow, even if you aren't a Buddhist!
- @maddow Rachel Maddow updates with breaking news and other comments on the daily political climate.
- @azizansari You absolutely MUST follow Aziz Ansari. Not only is he absolutely hysterical, he's also hosting the MTV Movie Awards this year. Oh! And he was in BUST Magazine this month-- he landed a spot in "Men We Love".
- @michaelianblack Michael Ian Black has had my heart since "Wet Hot American Summer", or probably earlier. Yeah, earlier.
- @breakingnews Okay, that's not a person. So why should you follow? Because sometimes it's nice to know things before other people do.
- @TheSexist A badass column (written by Amanda Hess) in The Washington City Paper now has a twitter. Follow her and then check out the blog: Sex & Gender In The District.
Oh, and then follow me.
Gulf Oil Spill -- How to Help
There is an oil leak the size of Delaware in the Gulf of Mexico. That's big. It's around 130 miles by 70 miles, and as of this morning, at least 23 sea turtles had washed ashore on the coast of Missisippi. Fishing has been banned from Louisiana to Florida. And by the way, the oil leak hasn't even been stopped yet. It isn't over.
So what can YOU do to help? It doesn't matter where you live. You can still help. From the The Huffington Post, some simple things you can do:
Follow the CrisisCamp Twitter List. This is a compilation of non-profit organizations and individuals updating on the oil leak and what you can do to help.
Send Barack Obama a message via National Wildlife Federation: Speak Up for Urgent Need to Restore Louisiana's Coastal Wetlands.
Twitter-ers to Follow:
This isn't going to go away. The leak is still gushing. It does not matter where you live-- this impacts you. It's impacting businesses, restaurants, wildlife, tourism, and the economy in general. Do what you can. A donation of just $5 can make a world of difference.

Thought of the Day
In Jesus Was An Immigrant, Would Republicans Deport Him?, over at GALiberal.com, Dustin posted some great quotes from the Bible:
- Exodus 22:21 “You shall not wrong or oppress a resident alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.”
- Exodus 23:9, “Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt.”
- Deuteronomy 1:16 “And I charged your judges at that time: Hear the disputes between your brothers and judge fairly, whether the case is between brother Israelites or between one of them and an alien."
