Y’all my Highland Park born and bred, lifelong R voting FIL just sent us a newsletter written by a wealthy Dallas investor encouraging everyone who reads it to vote Dem in TX because these Rs are insane and incompetent. My FIL wrote someone in the last 3 elections. It *might* Be Happening.

I desperately want Talarico to win, but part of me is worried that if Paxton isn’t otherwise engaged, Trump will make him AG. Would be the most monkey paw situation for finally electing a Dem in Texas I can possibly think of 🤷🏻‍♀️

Seconded. I’ve had 5-6 of these and each time I laid on the table with tears running into my hair with my hands over my mouth, trying not to scream. I did scream at the first one. It was so much pain I started to panic before being assured it was normal. 🤬

Hey so uhhhhh that Boston Globe story about the lesbian bar relaxing its covid rules is an *absolute fucking hit piece* targeting the disabled, chronically ill, and covid-conscious and it would be great if folks sharing and joking about it could recognize that framing.

I talked to my normielib, softly spoken, would-never-yell-at-anyone MIL recently, and when we asked how she was, in her gently lilting, quiet voice told us she was “just really ready for Republicans to suffer.”

This is true, but an underfunded campaign is a catastrophe. A hugely overfunded campaign gives you decreasing marginal utility. The extra dollars just don’t make THAT much of a difference.

Tweet from @theheadquarters.bsky.con that says "Trump: I have to say this about Ken Paxton. It's so insulting, they say, 'Sir, you can't say that.' I said, 'I have to.' But you may not like the way he dresses. I don't. You may not like the way he talks, and I can see that. You may not like the way he looks, and he may not be the best lookin' guy"

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

As expected, the suspension of voters in Texas was very carefully crafted to target Democratic voters in major Democratic centers. This is how the Texas GOP controls the state: by insuring that it has the lowest levels of voter participation in the entire developed world.

Texas Has Suspended More Than 1 Million Voters Ahead of Senate Race

If you’re one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there’s still time to fix it.

Screenshot of tweet by Eminem. Text of Eminem's post reads:

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

Attached is an image of a classy and generous letter Dolly Parton sent to Eminem after missing a chance to meet him at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

One factor: childcare has gotten so expensive that women are increasingly staying home with preschool-age children instead of sending them to preschool. There is legitimately a crisis in early education right now because of consequent under-enrollment.

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

I am always trying to explain to folks that most Americans have never met a Jew and people do not believe me and I just need you to understand that the perception that we are a powerful group in this country is intentionally created by antisemites and you're unknowingly buying in.
