Republicans ignore this real danger in schools for weird fiction about children getting sex change operations at school.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

Anyone complaining about what mainstream media is or is not covering should be supporting the work of @propublica.org

You know I’m a teacher by trade, but I can’t stand for women to have to share their most intimate horrors to try to educate men on abortion or rape. The men already know…they either don’t care, or they are already actively working on our side. 

Perfectly stated 😂👇

Imagine being the worst Senator from Missouri when your only competition is Josh Hawley…

You know what’s more dangerous than a trans athlete? 7 Frat boys at Cornell University.

Here's some unsolicited advice for my Democratic friends - in office and running. Think twice before hiring consultants who are cozying up to private equity, signing up to defend prediction markets, or telling candidates to not say what they actually feel about the big AI companies.

Don’t trust larger media outlets to do the work? @propublica.org is and they’re a 501c3.

From the people who told you that straight white male privilege doesn’t exist…

The owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory self-regulated.

Good question

I hope widows bay dominating the Emmys inspires a lot more shows about lovable weirdos and way less “rich people are soooo fucked up haha” shows

STOP SCROLLING Why I’m sounding the alarm: VoteSafe. org is run by Elon Musk’s America PAC, the same political operation working to turn out Republican voters in the midterms. The site collects voter and political info, and allows your information to be shared or sold to business partners.

Genius. (Sound on 🔉) @nonewdatacenters.bsky.social

Jon Ossoff on the internal Dem center v. left conflict: “No Georgia voter has yet asked me about elections that were 800 miles away,” he tells me. “I don’t know why we do this to ourselves.” www.thenation.com/article/poli...

⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it. Before you hand over your name, address, phone number, email and voter information, know who you’re giving it to.

john fetterman is the first rat in history to climb onto a sinking ship.

And podcast microphones.

Deregulation in the US will harm the most vulnerable first Disabled people who are extra dependent on the supply chain Those with food & med allergies who can’t easily switch brands. Those with food insecurity relying on food banks who can’t know if the food has been recalled. This is by design.

If Nancy Pelosi had repeatedly told reporters she had no idea what was going on around her, the coverage would have been unsparing and vicious.

Seems like this should be a bigger deal. 🤷🏼 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I feel like I’m living In a dystopian novel written in 1993 that was rejected by dozens of publishers because it was incredibly stupid.

are you a texas voter? check your registration. check it now.

They’re both needy and greedy. And we see the results in how they live.

🚨Just a gentle reminder- Chapter 13 of Project 2025 spells out how they will create food insecurity by cutting safety nets and slashing regulations and restrictions on food production and safety inspections. Just in case anyone finds it interesting.

Publishes a memoir about her experiences and passes away. Rather like Virginia Guiffre.

I seem to remember “paperless” being touted as the environmentally friendly option.

"Voting is not the end of democratic participation. It is the beginning. Every conversation, every registration drive, every candidate forum, every neighborhood canvass and every ride to the polls expands the possibilities of democracy."

We’re supposed to believe the guy who snuck away on a secret plane stood up and threw his fist in the air immediately after he was shot in the ear lol

19 pieces of legislation and counting. Some Members of Congress measure their term in years served and viral moments, but I measure mine in legislation signed and dollars delivered to my community.

I’ve been screening our documentary with organizing communities in the South. So far, the organizers mention data centers first at every single event. From racial justice orgs to old school activists who don’t usually think about tech policy. This has legs.

After 18 years at The Washington Post, I’m excited to announce a new chapter. I’ve joined the intrepid team at ProPublica, which is expanding its D.C. newsroom to pursue accountability journalism on national security, including …

If your face didn’t look like this in 2020, I don’t really care what you think about Dr Fauci. That man saved millions of lives. We did what we could with the information we had. Florida opened back up too soon, and nearly 100,000 people died, one of highest death rates per capita in the nation
