Texas used to be a blue state, and California used to be red. Being so privileged that you brag about throwing away your vote is how red turns to blue and vice versa. I've been voting blue in Texas for 40 fucking years. There is no excuse for shirking civic responsibility.
The discourse around Tom Morello, a California voter, leaving President blank in 2024 is wild. There’s a massive freakout yesterday accusing him of supporting Trump, while at the exact same time he’s hosting an explicitly anti-Trump music fest with Jack Smith & the Bullwark lady in the crowd. Lol.

The Senate results rightly got a lot of attention, but these gubernatorial polls from NYT-Siena are just as stark. Hinojosa by 3! Sand by 11!! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u...
This is bullshit. They are not using old mines. It's one data center in an old defense bunker, and they are not heating homes with it. It's bullshit. tech.yahoo.com/computing/ar...
The captivating image reveals rows of high-tech, glowing servers situated inside a rugged underground mine cavern, with blue cooling pipes bringing cold air in and glowing orange pipes routing captured thermal energy up to a residential neighborhood above www.datacenterknowledge.com/business/fut...

This is heartbreaking. Once again…there’s not a single good thing that came out of not electing Kamala Harris as POTUS. IDGAF if it makes you mad because the truth is ALL of this could have been avoided. The world is a dumpster fire & anyone that didn’t vote, voted 3rd party, or for GOP did this.
A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive. One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy. Another collapsed and had seizures during labor. (Published Dec. 2025)
I wonder how much she got paid for this vote?
Sen. Susan Collins cast the pivotal vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. He then helped overturn Roe v. Wade four years later. Now she’s battling for her Senate seat in the midterms, and abortion rights groups are betting that voters haven’t forgotten how she contributed to the fall of Roe.

Yep. Similarly, my personal focus is on the cutting of USAID, with almost a *million* already dead, largely children, with 14 million more expected deaths by 2030. Connected directly to US actions. But, alas, it is not the popular protest. But, I refuse to be lectured about children in danger.🍸

The Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, everyone. Railroad Commissioner is a misnomer - it's a statewide office that oversees the oil and gas industry, pipelines, coal & surface mining industries, & gas utilities. The responses on X are equally racist. @utlonghorns.bsky.social
