America is an ideal, a promise it has sometimes strived for but has always fallen short of. Even if I recognize that failure, I believe in the promise, and I’m not handing over that promise to a bunch of fucking fascists.

"the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress" Not impeaching him for this, encourages him to keep doing it. Congress must not allow him to be above the law.

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

best acting job of the day is this Broncos receiver who flashed his hands for a pass so the DB wouldn't realize Bo Nix was running right behind him

there’s no such thing as “strategic bigotry.” I know this because there is no amount of money you could pay me to become a bigot. the democrats who do this agree to do it because they’re bigots

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

A biking and walking trail on city land would supposedly destroy the delicate industrial character of this area, but this is fine?

Hi @repdelbene.bsky.social. WA-01 voter here 👋 You decided you wanted to be the first DCCC Chair to pay for a bigoted anti-trans ad? That’s a choice. A fucking hateful one. You CHOSE to embrace bigotry and we see you. And your spinelessness. I will not forgive. Or forget.

Does my @repdelbene.bsky.social, chair of the DCCC, have no shame? She’ll endorse a “no” vote on I-638, the “protect girls’ sports” initiative in Washington state, but is perfectly happy to fund an ad throwing transgender girls in South Carolina under the bus.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

The general election is coming up on Nov 4th and ballots are out. Here are some endorsements from my Legislative District that I fully support. *Note: We did not choose to endorse Suzan Delbene running for U.S. House in District 1. 1stlddems.org/2026-general...

@elections.kingcounty.gov Y’all could have given us Jimothy voting stickers…people would have combed through their mail and their recycle to make sure they found their ballots and voted. Instead we get a sad, sticker-less existence with all the Jimothy-less counties looking down on us…😔😔

Everyone on the Eagles staff that cleared Jalen Hurts to play yesterday should be fired and lose any license they have.

washington dc is not trump’s personal property and must be given statehood to prevent this kind of abuse in the future

it makes my blood boil every time there’s a bullshit tech demo and everyone goes back to “oh that scamp elon has done it again” he’s a vicious monster out to ruin the lives of millions of people who don’t deserve any of it and he should be treated accordingly

If Trump did Watergate, it wouldn't even make the top 10 traumas he has inflicted on the Americans on a given Tuesday. He has done so much more damage to our institutions then 9/11 did. What a bubble that strategist must live in!

her colleagues are really gonna show their asses in the coming days.

This is a good illustration of how AI could end up really reinforcing biases and prejudices--and maybe even add a patina of objecticity, one of my big worries about the tech.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

Something that we are learning is that the concept of FU money is wrong. If anything, it’s been the world’s richest people that have debased themselves more than anyone

Everyone is talking about how unprecedented this public execution is going to be in recent history, but never forget that the exact same people advocating for it tried to hold a public execution a little over 5 3/4 years ago.

Tapping the sign that is one year younger than me

going from defending ukraine against russia’s unprovoked war of aggression to directly funding the russian war machine what an abject disgrace

Republicans would rather your children watch a man get killed than a drag queen read

“His words are dangerous and incite hostility” seems like it’d more applicable to Trump calling on Minnesotans to “fight back” against their Somali-American neighbors.

oh my GOD

"If you look at the population of — well, all people in cities, particularly people who come to cities from elsewhere, but particularly homeless and other vulnerable people in cities [...] a pretty large chunk of those people who end up in cities were failed in some other parts of this country."

People too young to remember but the day after Obergefell, the gays invaded our Churches and forced them to close, as they remain today. abcnews.com/Politics/thr...

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

I mean, it’s an incentive thing right now companies, even ones who aren’t ideologically aligned with the GOP, do believe the GOP will fuck them over for not going along and they don’t believe Dems will impose consequences for that you’ve gotta change that, executives need to think twice

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇

“You must remember what Amalek has done to you, [and] we do remember.” - Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel openly admits it wants “to put to death men & women, children & infants.” To “not spare them.” That is a genocide. Do not do genocide denial in my comments or anywhere else. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I'm not naive enough to actually believe this will happen, but Democrats could be preparing, right now, lists of impeachment charges against (at a bare minimum) Hegseth, Kennedy, Mullin, Patel, Blanche, & Trump, as well as Bondi, Bovino, & Noem (still worth doing!) that rely purely on public facts,

I strongly encourage Republicans to run on this message!
