I know it’s incredibly dorky and cringe, but I’ll be thinking a ton about Sam’s speech over the next four years. Never forget that there is good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for

The media will continue propping up the regime until morale improves, I suppose

You know the B-Hawks are doing well when I’m regularly checking the reverse standings on Tankathon and it’s not even November yet

Half a century of neoliberal centrism has been an unmitigated disaster for the entire planet, it’s not going to start doing any good any time soon. We have to be rid of it in every country.

Florida early voting update: Early in-person turnout among Republicans has fallen off a cliff. At R+0.4, the total early vote in the state is about as blue as 2018, 5 points higher than this point in 2022, and 10 points higher than in 2024. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-early...

50501 strongly condemns the transphobic policy positions espoused in Josh Turek’s campaign ad. We’re calling on @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social to stand with the trans community & attack the real threat to the safety of women & girls: the Trump administration’s cover-up of the Epstein trafficking ring.

An incredibly funny thing to say in light of Stevens’s harmful and baffling CNN appearance

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I refused to learn this man’s name he’ll always be “Kirkland Brand Gus Johnson” to me. h/t @defector.com

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Leaders of the No Kings movement are already gearing up for the next major grassroots campaign: Making sure congressional Democrats don’t wimp out. My first piece at @newrepublic.com! (Reposted to update link card) newrepublic.com/article/2168...

lula

also its white, probably? its white not to use AI. its racist not to use AI

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

This post in particular is really telling. It's saying - don't expect Democrats to simply right the wrongs. What Republicans take away in 4 years you must expect to spend 20 years to restore, fighting Democrats the whole way.

Haley Stevens represents everything wrong with the Democratic Party. She moved into Andy Levin's district and took AIPAC's millions to defeat him in a primary. He is Jewish, she is not. She's accused Abdul El Sayed of antisemitism and bad Black outreach. The party would be better without her.

This thing was so delicious, but it fucked my digestive system for a solid day after I ate it

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Fuck this lady and all the other shitty Michigan Democrats

Josh Turek’s rank bigotry is a betrayal of American values. His stance on trans rights is to the right of West Virginia, Alabama & seven other red states’ laws. Dems are +9 on trans issues; there is no moral or political reason to take this stance except to oppress trans people. Turek is a traitor.

More like Josh Turdek, right?

imagine if a democratic candidate anywhere said something like this about a jewish candidate, would be a ten-alarm fire in every media outlet for days. but the literal president promoting this sort of insane bigotry against a muslim won't even merit a story

I do think there's a weird talking past one another that's happening. I see the Civil Rights Era as a period when white America forced Black communities through needless suffering and delays until finally agreeing to a fraction of what they were entitled to after slavery.

Political media is the only topic other than “small dogs with names inspired by Superman” that I feel like I can honestly refer to myself as an “expert,” and I implore you to stop watching cable news. It doesn’t inform you. TV news is one of the worst ways possible to get the news.

I get so much more satisfaction out of manually blocking individual bigots than subscribing to one of those lists that would block them for me

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

Transphobes can fuck off forever

People are just incapable of being normal about Jessie Gender lately, jeez

It happened again! It’s a good feeling (because I am a huge weirdo)

Liberals are the new racists, not like those old racists, whoever those were

I voted! 🗳️ 😎

Given the shift in media ownership over the Trump era, Democrats REALLY need to learn to ignore media handwringing now. Because I have no doubt their every move for accountability will be attacked from every possible angle.

Today, I’m honored to share that President Obama is supporting our campaign for the U.S. Senate. President @barackobama.bsky.social & I both started as organizers in our communities, because we immediately understood that real changes come from regular folks joining the fight. #AngieForFlorida

Centrism cannot fail, it can only be failed

libbed out (gun owners/veterans/business owners/cops/other conservative-coded or cross-pressuring things) are real. libbed out transphobes are not
