Hi! I’m Alexis, and I’m running for U.S. Congress to represent #MD06. I’m a technologist, finance nerd, former regulator, and queer mom of 2. I’m not afraid of holding bullies accountable & my experience makes me uniquely qualified to do just that in Congress.

OK friends. This is not a drill. I've known Alexis for years. She's the real deal. This ad just barely skates the surface of her awesomeness. What a dream to have her in Congress. Let's do our best to make it happen. Donate/volunteer/share.

Field trip this morning to the Senate to see Russell Vought, secret President, who shuttered CFPB and tried and failed to kill the Consumer Bureau. #SaveCFPB solidarity forever with @nteu335.bsky.social

Kat’s campaign proved there is a strong desire for a proper left in American politics. Her campaign is one for the history books. Infinitely proud of her.

AIPAC needs to be dismantled

It would have been really cool to see a narcoleptic in congress ngl. sleepy representation matters.

"This does not mean that this last year has been for nothing," @katmabu.bsky.social speaks to the crowd for the first time in Andersonville tonight, conceding her race for Democratic nominee for U.S. Congress to Evanston mayor Daniel Biss.

The press corps really can make this a scandal by focusing on his age and depleted stamina but nah.

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

Maryland HB630 would ban using non-purpose-built buildings (like warehouses) as immigration detention facilities. Hearing: Feb 18, 2026 (Judiciary). If you live in MD, call your Delegate/Senator and ask them to support HB630. Official: mgaleg.maryland.gov

this is very bad but I’m curious what effect it’s going to have in practice - if American car manufacturers move back towards extremely emissions-heavy cars they are basically surrendering the global market and are extremely vulnerable to domestic politics shifting back it’s bad business

Masked federal agents are killing Americans in the street and terrorizing our communities. Enough. I voted NO on bankrolling ICE's terror. And I introduced a bill that'll create the toughest independent watchdog to rein in ICE and stop the violence.

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

"You gonna murder someone else? You can't kill us all, Nazis."

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

@indivisiblemontmd.bsky.social yo is there an emergency protest being organized rn or what? Who do I talk to for us to get people into the streets within the next few weeks? We cannot wait until July for the next major protest.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

This is how they steal the elections.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I think my mom liked the candle I got her from ur store

Sad update: it appears that the crazy people I've spent years training to be rabid animals have, for reasons too complicated to explain right now, completely turned against me

Choosing not to be a doomer about the Elden Ring movie because if anyone can wrangle that massive sprawling story into a movie, it’s Alex Garland. What he did with Annihilation was fucking impressive.

@mcuban.bsky.social can I have some money Mr Cuban I’ve been very good this year

Tried using this site for a single night and it has already tanked my mental health, be back in 4 months just as I get it patched up again

Ngl anyone who thinks Trump is stupid is still falling for it. He’s a puppet. He doesn’t make any of these decisions, he just sells them and stalls for time while they take effect. These choices are calculated to achieve a specific goal - to crash the economy, so it can be bought up for cheap.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Stop advocating for trans people by referring to us as canaries in the coal mine. The whole point of the canary is that it's an acceptable sacrifice to protect the people who actually matter. We are not a *warning sign*. We are real people. Our lives and rights matter in and of themselves.

We look forward to shopping again soon at Costco. If you are also a Costco customer, this is a great time to show your support. www.cbsnews.com/news/costco-...

going to try out slay the princess tonight :3 twitch.tv/tempestinate...

here’s the result of this year’s gingerbread house stream 🥰 I was aiming for a sort of “sugarfina explosion aftermath” vibe, how did I do?

My Christmas cookie platters came out perfect :) Lemon snowballs, shortbread pinwheels, gingerbread oat milk latte cookies, chocolate crinkles, and little iced gingerbreads 🥰

Hakeem Jeffries: "Republicans are marching America to a painful government shutdown that will crash the economy and hurt working-class Americans because they would rather enact massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors than fund cancer research for children."

I'm not good at anything. I dont do anything. I dont know anything. But I know this: Certain forces are out of control

When someone gets called out for poor behavior and starts talking about death threats I always struggle to really take it seriously because like… threats of bodily harm are just a daily reality of existing on the internet as a woman of any visibility at all.

Yesterday I pulled overt references of queerness off my site, my very successful store that sells my books that have queer main characters. Because a few days ago, Meta emailed saying my advertising on their platform will be restricted - my site was categorized as "sexuality and gender identity."
