Fucking Bitch

I'm asking that we all raise our political expectations. We deserve good things.

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

unhoused people are not service-resistant. the services being offered are people-resistant.

She's running to replace Dick Durbin and, uh, to say this is a welcome change in tone and attitude would be a hell of an understatement.

Amazing!

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls

I was too young to vote in the 80s but I remember a couple things very clearly. 1. Both Reagan & Bush gave me the ick. 2. Jesse Jackson was the first adult I'd ever heard speak on shared needs across groups and that successful people are lifted by others, not themselves

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

It wasn’t so long ago that CNN sat down for a serious conversation with these guys. One of them is Pete Hegseth’s pastor.

Pretending these assholes are still ‘fringe’ is a dangerous mistake

At some point, one has to ask: Of all the work that might be automated, why are we automating some of the most human work?

Art, music, film, writing. The sort of labor that enriches us, connects us, heals us, slows us down. Why are we constantly being sold the idea that this is what has to go away?

💯 thread

A thread posted on Threads by Senator Cory Booker: “Here is to the decency of past presidents and the urgent need for us to have this again.” A video clip of George W Bush speaking at a lectern is included. Above the video is the text, “I miss seeing this kind of dignity & grace from a Republican President.”

BRO, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!

This is totally non-standard for any publication. Every pub everywhere pretty much cleans up uhms, uhm, and vocal tics like that, which EVERYONE DOES.

This is extremely intentional.

If I was writing this I’d probably do the quote “this is of course a very longstanding policy of the United States”

TW, of course, but sharing this gift article because of the enormous respect I have for Gisèle Pellicot, and my awe at her resilience. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...

Apparently there’s grocery inflation discourse again, but as I’ve been buying groceries for other families during this crisis, often under duress, it’s brought me out of my own optimized grocery spending habits, which rely heavily on Costco. And damn, there is a huge price to pay for being poor.

I watched 5.5 mins of Sheriff Witt's press conference before I turned it off. Who is she vague posting about being a liar and that they need to find a new line of work? Witt has not been communicating; not on her own and not in multi-agency pressers. She created the vacuum for people's perceptions

Apologies to my neighbors, my dogs and anyone who walked past the house as I screamed: ‘I don’t want a fucking app for my fucking hair dryer!!’

YouTube video by It's Open with Ilana Glazer Minnesota Lt. Gov Peggy Flanagan on Minneapolis, her Native heritage, and running for U.S. Senate

My vote for the next senator from the state of Minnesota will be for Peggy Flanagan. She touches on many topics but I so appreciate her mentioning the childhood trauma caused by the feds, and particularly ACEs which is a measure of childhood trauma

"Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said. Their pregnancies are considered high risk by definition, particularly for the youngest girls."

Most Minneapolis residents can't stand him. He doesn't mingle with residents, he goes on TV, because he knows we can't stand him!

Eliminating pain care (directly and by integrative services) is very concerning. Managing pain is already a constant battle

Hennepin Healthcare begins downsizing services

I only want to hear clarity like this from candidates. Anything less is unacceptable to me

This is DARVO

This tells me way more about people's economic experiences than the administration gleaming about the stock market

Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”
