Hey Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.

This is fake pragmatism, an all-too-familiar gear for powerful Democrats. “Getting stuff done” will need votes that ALSO won’t be there with a Trump veto. Unless it’s something the fascist GOP finds acceptable. Which, fucking NO. So let’s not pretend there are better (and easier) things to do.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Sorry but this is all built on speculation about voter vibes mixed with speculation about Trump’s declining trajectory. As we wait for this perfect combo and keep the proverbial powder dry, he’ll have ICE murder half of Minneapolis.

Trump isn't in good health. If Democrats take the House (at least) and rush to impeach Trump, voters will view Dems as (1) not taking policy priorities seriously enough even to try for them and (2) falling into an unsuccessful pattern. Trump may not even be in office by then. Impeach J.D. Vance.

Visiting the folks today & they tried to make a roast lamb & the entire glass container they used exploded. Apparently some time in the 70s Pyrex switched to a different type of glass & the new stuff they sell can't handle heat well. Having to explain PYREX & Pyrex are not the same company sucked.

The divide right now is, is someone a fighter? Or are they not a fighter? If they’re not gonna fight, don’t take the people’s money, stay out of the ring. We’ve had 10 years of this shit. Fighters only.

so many people in the democratic party desperately want our expectations for them to be so low that we will be excited if they get out of bed and show up for work at all. it’s gross

Here's the thing: Any legislation that's worth passing will be vetoed by an insanely angry Trump, and you won't have 290 votes to override it You know what you CAN do with just 218 votes? Impeach

I am excited to see this, but I would suggest that Fathom is a terrible distributor that did a terrible job getting this into theaters last weekend. I do not understand anyone who deals with Fathom. They have zero reach and zero muscle and it does not surprise me at all that they fumbled this.

anyone I know familiar with police procedures in the US? If there's a non-suspicious death, how is it treated? I think in the UK there's an inquest process for all deaths but is there a standard equivalent in the US or does it vary hugely by state?

This is big news. Ending the puberty-blocker ban in New Zealand is massive. It puts Cass & the entirety of Labour’s flagship anti-trans policies in doubt. Yet no mainstream media platform has even mentioned it. Indeed most alternative media, like @bylinetimes.bsky.social have failed to mention it.

latest thing driving me crazy about the current round of vote scolding is that even if given benefit of the doubt that these dems aren't personally transphobic, they're just getting votes, people are still being asked to put faith in the bravery of cowards kind of a big flaw there, the cowardice

I’m blocking File770 and will not be sharing anything from that site or visiting anymore. I support Paul. JDA is a known harasser and I will not give my time or attention to a place that platforms him.

Please read this whole thread. FIV is a manageable virus! Most cats who have it can live a normal, healthy lifespan with proper basic care. www.adoptapet.com/blog/adoptio...

In May, I got the chance to foster amazing FIV+ duo Cathy and Heathcliff. They arrived from the shelter with 2 one-day old kittens. Cathy was so thin the shelter had not even realised she was pregnant.

Rowling *never* writes about women’s rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men. I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears. Not a single post about women’s actual concerns or needs None

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

Steven T. Dennis@steventdennis.bsky.social

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

With the clear evidence of Meta interfering with Brazil, I want everyone to understand that these algorithms are not simply the product of some neutral 'marketplace of ideas' but an active choice in the part of tech capitalists (and their executives.)

There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

Dave Levitan@davelevitan.bsky.social

It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

I have sleep apnea. It was making my life so hard. I now have a CPAP machine and can function again plus reduced chance of stroke and heart attack. I was on a waiting list for 1+ year, so get checked now. (Severe sleep apnea is about 30+ episodes per hour. I averaged 67 in testing! 😱)

Hey remember a couple months ago when I almost died from sleep apnea and begged y'all to be checked if you have symptoms of sleep apnea? Eric Bauza just died from sleep apnea. We were the same age. Don't ignore sleep apnea.
