not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Practice your “No, I’m not doing that” - it’s a lot harder than agression and/or scolding others. And it’s critical to all of us. If you’re safe/privileged the amount of someone’s time you can waste with “no, I’m not doing that” (or confused requests for clarification) is even more important

Finally, I'd like to post this poem by @clintsmithiii.bsky.social: When pople say "we've made it through worse before..." "...we are not all left standing after the war has ended. Some of us have become ghosts by the time the dust has settled."

1/5. The way Trump, Trump Jr, Tuberville, and Hannity are talking now about Greenland, Mexico, Panama, and Canada plagiarizes Putin in 2013, before the first invasion of Ukraine.

Individual consumer choices cannot save the world, but for the sake of your soul, maybe delete ChatGPT. Not using AI is literally the least you can do.

SoCal friends, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. A few things I wish I’d known as we evacuated ahead of a wildfire (that took our home in 2021) 🧵

The solution to the NRA buying politicians isn’t to stop the NRA itself, it’s to stop allowing ALL groups that at dark money groups from being able to buy politicians. This is bigger than red v. blue, campaign finance is an issue within both major political parties.

I’m gonna need Democrats/liberals/progressives to stop making “suggestions” for Elon Musk and DOGE about where to really cut government waste. DOGE isn’t about government waste at all. It’s about gutting the regulatory and welfare state. Don’t be cute. Call it what it is: oligarchy in action.

Many folks ask why Biden isn't using his immunity to do something. That's because it's not "his" immunity. It's the Supreme Court's. The justices set it up in such a way that THEY decide on a case-by-case basis which president is immune for what act. 9/

And the BLM protests. For like one year tops it seemed like we might take how women and Black people are treated seriously and the American antibodies kicked into high gear.

StoryGraph is so so good. You get graphs and charts AND can give quarter/half stars. And the monthly/yearly wrap ups are so cute.

My latest crackpot theory is that one of the best encapsulations of late stage capitalism are those ads for a game where you save a woman and child from freezing to death. No, hear me out. I promise I’m going somewhere!

I highly recommend reading the audiobook. It’s poetry for the ear.

If Harris wins there will be an attempt to nullify the election and if the Democrats control the House in January it fails. If the Republicans control the House it succeeds since they also control SCOTUS. Don’t count on laws to save us. Saving us will require people doing what is right.

if you can't vote for the lesser evil if you can't vote for your own survival if you can't vote for the second Black and first female President if you can't vote for the candidate who will objectively harm people in Gaza the least vote for Elon Musk to suffer

Trying to remember that being asked for money every 47 seconds is less irritating than living under a Nazi regime.

Somewhere an NYT columnist is desperately trying to find a way to blame Joe Biden’s age for ballistics.

Birth control allows women to have careers. This is frighteningly obvious but it still needs to be said.

McConnell's legacy will be a that of a man who so effectively broke the system that he somehow created an even greater monster to succeed him one of the worst and most craven politicians this country has ever produced
