@schumer.senate.gov For the last decade I’ve observed you laying low every time we’ve needed a leader, someone to truly stand up for Democracy for all, or when we needed pushback. In the beginning, thought maybe it was shock. But now I know better. The last few years ESPECIALLY-ESPECIALLY. Shame!

This. I used to think, "Sports is not the most important issue as we fight for equal rights. Maybe it's not the hill to die upon," but then I read Serano and understood how conceding on sports just weakens our position on all the other issues too.

LandsEnd sale on outerwear, nice. They let you personalize w/ initials or name. Kinda thinking about “BEWA®️E” or “N0 KI🆖S”

📢🧠‼️ This really is a 🔑 point, not just for your own sanity, but for being effective. Emotional catharsis feels good/correct in the moment, but it rarely actually DOES anything. It’s the rage version of “rocking in a rocking chair for an hour, expecting to get somewhere.” Wisdom⤵️

Right, so, male influencers are being sent out to tell Black people that resisting data centers is wrong actually because people don't understand how to really measure their water use. It’s an appeal to scientific expertise intended to intimidate Black people.

Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. @latimes.com (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*.

We must expect that Meta's interference is happening in other elections around the world *right now*. This isn't just a one-off. Meta has proved repeatedly they are committed to advancing far-right agendas worldwide, are serial liars, and are flagrantly indifferent to the dismantling of democracies.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

WE HAD EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE AGAINST US EVERYONE WANTED TO GRAB OUR RARE EARTH, THE AMAZON, ALL PROMISED BY THE MAFIOSO BOLSONARO FAMILY AND THAT'S NO EXAGGERATION THEY ***ARE*** A MAFIA AND IT WAS US, THE PEOPLE, ON THE STREETS AND ONLINE, WHO MADE THIS VICTORY BRAZILIANS. DEFEATED. FASCISM.

Whales and Bears are just super sick of our sh*t. Can’t blame them.

If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

so glad to hear two conservative men assure voters that, much as they personally may hate the idea of reproductive freedom, abortion rights are settled law and certainly will never go away (so how dare anyone ask about a judicial candidate's anti-choice views) mynorthwest.com/john-curley/...

Everyone who is saying "Dems in red states have to throw trans people under the bus to win" -- no. They don't. When they do that, we just start with no winning options on the table. It gives in to the fascist premise that we get to decide some groups don't get rights. THIS is what I want to see.

Love it!

Something I wish more people would realize.

I honestly suspect that some of these “fundraising” texts are from red “ratfuckers” to turn us off from donating at all. On top of these greedy middlemen outfits. Really, what I want to donate to are foot rubs, veggie soups and vitamin infusions for the volunteers and candidates at this point.

From someone who has lived in Ukraine over 30 years (me), this is bullshit. Hundreds of billions didn't flow to Ukraine - Ukraine's oligarchs made their (relatively modest) fortunes by ripping off Ukrainians, not foreigners. Ukrainians are fighting to stop this happening again.

Democratic candidate for Governor of Texas Gina Hinojosa EXPOSES Greg Abbott for lying about data centers. Abbott said he would temporarily pause new data centers in his state but records show he has continued to approve massive data center projects.

Hot n heavy today (📱#s so you can pre-block)

@ericacbarnett.bsky.social Appreciate you.

Seafor posted a statement on its website today, at the bottom of its FAQ: "SeaFor's donation to North Seattle Neighbors for the 2026 election was rescinded to comply with all applicable laws and statutes." In other words, they are effectively admitting they were not following the law.

Heg💲e✝️h seems like he drools soup.

I feel like it should be a much bigger story that in early 2025 the MAGA regime requested a cybersecurity agency to secretly acquire a voting machine and hack it and directed them to not alert the voting machine company if it uncovered flaws. That’s called setting up for rigging an election.

Manhattan NY, Who is she?

Literally fire all the Democratic fundraising consultants and shut down all these fucking companies.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Minneapolis rules.

Just going to be straight here — no pun intended: I am the only journalist who has been covering this issue in depth, was often the only journalist at hearings, and was the only one explaining what DOJ was actually arguing here. Support my work if you can: www.lawdork.com/subscribe

12/ We spent months compiling every case we could find of immigration agents detaining Americans. We did it because the government hasn't. And now, we're sharing every one of those cases with you. Explore our database: propub.li/4egbSK2

Dolly Parton's sister claims voting machines in Tennessee changed her vote to the Republican candidate.

Related: The @accountabilityji.bsky.social is building a free-to-use, searchable public database to reveal the individuals behind dark money groups and their connections to broader political influence networks. There’s nothing like it today. This will be an essential public resource.

We love you Canada. We appreciate you Canada. We grieve with you Canada. Thoughts and prayers are with you and to all affected by this Tragedy. Stay Strong and Safe!

The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes. This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others. Hero.

This morning, ICE kidnaped A landscaper in Imperial Beach, when we arrived, they were scouting the Home Depot again to take more workers

To the lefties saying "reproductive rights aren't an issue in WA" or "everyone agrees on climate change": 1) Reproductive rights are LITERALLY ON THE BALLOT, in the form of I-001, THIS ELECTION. 2) Checking a box means basically nothing if a candidate never touches an issue or makes it a priority

Just realized that Laura at Share the Cities/Lefty Cheat Sheet,, who told me on here I should ask her questions directly, blocked me; earlier, she wouldn't answer a polite question by email, sending me to a generic email address that did not respond!

Leaked audio: Michigan Republican Mike Rogers asking for officers at polling stations to intimidate voters "We called the RNC early and said hey... Let's put police officers, retired or off-duty police officers as our poll watchers in Detroit because go ahead, try to intimidate them. Please."
