I know most of you hate AI. I don’t. Anyway, I asked the AI ​​about the Democrats' chances of winning. Here is the answer: House Democrats: 93% Senate Democrats: 60% AI ​​also noted: It will ONLY work if the Democrats maintain their momentum and get EVEN more people to vote! So: go VOTE! 🌊🌊🌊🌊 ✨

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

erininthemorning.comDon’t Vote For The Worst Anti-Trans DemocratsThe Democratic Party should, and likely will, win big in the midterms. We must not send the worst anti-trans voices to join them.

I am so bone-tired of white people - which is awkward because I *am* white people. Also, we will see this lad in the World Cup in 20 years.

So why isn't the DNC filing an identical lawsuit for SCOTUS to bar Alaska from certifying their elections if the GOP candidate wins?! The "same name" problem applies BOTH WAYS! BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO SPINES!!!

Extroverts try to invite me places out of pity when I pity them for being afraid of their own thoughts.

Introvert Problems@introvertproblems.bsky.social

Introverts are often alone but rarely lonely. We can spend entire days by ourselves without getting bored or feeling like we’re missing out on anything. We enjoy our own company and don’t need to constantly be around people to feel happy or fulfilled

This proves, we never REALLY knew our fellow citizens. There was always clearly two types of Americans. Those who give and those who feel entitled to take. The givers had been in control of society. We are now living in the other side. And it’s not pretty. But unfortunately, of our making.

1/ Time to return to the topic of oligarchy, democracy, and what do we actually want from “resistance.” Please see posts below and apologies, I’d gotten out of habits learned on Twitter and neglected to number my “skeet’s”(?). To recap: we resist not to return to status quo ante but re-make society.
