My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.
I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.
A lot of people have suffered, but at least it was for nothing.
The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
Man, a lot of crazy shit has happened since Epstein’s birthday letter was released a week ago Monday.
ah, well
I screamed! So happy for him!
In Jason Batemen’s defense there were, what 5 nominees? Each with first AND last names. That’s a lot to learn how to pronounce.
Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

This is important meta analysis. We’re experiencing a national news story with Constitutional crisis implications, but most of LA wouldn’t know it without press.
The population of Los Angeles County is larger than 42 states. This place is ginormous.
The are line dancing in the middle of the protest while shouting Fuck ICE
Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.
long live Los Angeles
This is the problem. There aren’t enough users and therefore, not enough diversity of topics. I miss being able to get the news, chat about Love Island, and find out what was that noise up the street.

This is going to ruin the tour 🥰
What a day to be alive!!!!
(April fools)
This is it. I know that sounds hyperbolic – or perhaps naïve depending on how far down the slide you think we are at this point – but this is in fact the turning point. www.welcometohellworld.com/does-the-con...
Was that an earthquake?!
EARTHQUAKE (does this work here?)
Take that Estonia.
So I’m definitely enjoying the Oscar’s but WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT’S ALL DAVID LYNCH GETS?!?!
Why does it make me scream laugh every time you do the “(derogatory)” thing hahahahahah
