Update: This is from someone who voted for Abdul in the primary. Amazing, isn’t it?

Tbh I voted for him in the primary but am not planning to in the general. He immediately pivoted hard to the right. It will cost him his hardcore supporters

I can walk to my polling place and do so several days per week so that is super convenient. Just checked my registration since I have moved

I've always been captivated by the "Freedom" sculpture on Vine St., of a figure breaking free of a wall in 4 stages, with the final figure on the sidewalk, arms outstretched and faced lifted. I think it makes our city more interesting, which is the most any of us who love Philly can hope to do. 🧵1/3

Bought one of these because I feel it's my duty as a new Philadelphia resident, but I can't really get into this whole tomato pie thing. Without cheese it feels like something to eat when there's nothing else to eat. Not my pic

If you read just a few comments on any article about Graham Platner it should become crystal clear why victims don’t come forward earlier. The level of cruelty people direct at victims is gutting

Update: it sounds like he did not have control of the robot while it was docked. Why he was allowed to manipulate it with a patient’s chest exposed while anesthetized, I don’t know. Unless the pt consented to his presence, they should probably get a lawyer.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social there’s a patriot front recruitment poster at purgatory and aquidneck at the light. Normally I’d rip it down myself but was driving by on a deadline. I posted about it in two groups so someone gets it off there. If it’s still there Sunday I’ll rip it down. So mad

This is accurate. Trump has not changed course. He is trying to contain political damage. That's it. There is not pivot. There is no shift at this point. Past experience shows the "new tone," if you can call it that, will be temporary. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

The only difference between Homan and Bovino is that Homan understands that you keep the human rights violations out of public sight so people have plausible deniability to say “they didn’t know” later

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."
