Stop asking people to vote against their human rights. Not a democrat. Still masked up. Mom to grown children, and caregiver to my mom & sister. Zone 5a Illinois. Gardening is political. Hobbies are political.

One thing even the Democrats can right now do is to refuse to fund ICE and CPB through regular order until 2029.

Democratic candidates pivoting to right wing positions in the general is one of the reasons Democratic voters don't trust the party.

Tonight I set up the room I keep most of the hydro stuff in. I'm doing all pump set-ups this year, no kratky jars bc I don't have the consistency for that at all. Love the aesthetic, hate the reality. Going off the "most recalled" list tbh. Green leafy, green onions, herbs.

It starts to feel like the people being critical of legacy media but work there aren't genuinely disturbed by what they are seeing and feel like they are somehow above it when they are just part of the monster. And there's nothing particularly brave or big-pantsed about that.

Elon Musk, who is estimated to have ensured the mass deaths of 16 million people by 2030, most of whom will be children, is also history's most prolific creator and distributor of CSAM. He has basically infinite money to avoid facing any legal consequences whatsoever for his vast, vast crimes.

It would be entirely possible for Elon Musk to tweak the model ahead of a meeting like this so it would feed Trump ideas that benefitted Musk himself. Not saying that's what happened, but we know he's tweaked the X algorithm to boost his own tweets and preference ideas he likes...

Ballpoint pen, watercolor, colored pencil, a little crayon, and charcoal pencil. 

Our guy pulls up deep in the forest on his 2-speed bike. He’s flanked by tall dark trees and his path is blocked by a massive spider. He lets the Big Fella know it’s on. “Big Fella,” he says. “I fixed my 2-speed. You still wanna race.” Reader, you know Big Fella wants in on that action. Next slide.Against a starry night sky we see silhouettes of Big Fella and our man racing down a hill. It’s unclear in the drawing who will win but Big Fella is likely about to pull away.

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

Underestimate @RahmEmanuel at your own risk.
He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.
