the democrats over years have intentionally tried to cultivate a base of suburban home owning high engagement liberals who watch a lot of TV news and can and will max out an ActBlue donation and never considered once that they too might one day start to notice patterns of behavior

thankful for this one thing

A specific brand of Small Business Guy that has flourished in the past few years even in fully criminalized states is about to get nuked by this.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

in any case it is wild that voters just sent a huge message and a bunch of senate democrats are all, “it doesn’t look like anything to me”

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

(Hualian, TGCF) A chibi style drawing of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng in a bug-human hybrid AU. XL is based on a white silk moth and HC a scarlet peacock butterfly. HC is on the left, holding his hand up to XL's cheek as XL leans into it with a blush. HC's visible eye is half lidded, wide and shiny, gazing at XL lovingly. Sprouting from his head are two curled antennae ending in red dots. He is dressed in red robes and decked out in extensive silver jewelry. On the right, head tilted into HC's hand is XL. He has his eyes closed but upturned with his enamored smile. He is holding his own hands in front of him, cuffs of white fuzz on his wrists. Around his neck is a white collar of fluff and over his white robes is a cloak that resembles fuzzy moth wings. On his head are two long white antenna.

they are in looooooove

i’ve been using Free Tax USA for the last couple of years and i highly recommend y’all do the same (or find a trustworthy local accountant). filing federal with them is free. do not give turbotax/intuit a CENT.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

gets to third round interview. no her face is too soft and round to write soulless copy for us

now i'm wondering if it was my face the whole time and they just invented technology to legitimize it.

IG post from Broadway World: During his commutes to and from Albany in the early days of his campaign, Mamdani would listen to shows like Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen. "Waving Through the Window," was named as one of his favorites.

We’ve finally discovered what’s wrong with Mamdani

i'm very glad this technology is being forced onto us everywhere on all levels

It's not phrenology if the computer does it instead of humans. You are not allowed to ask where the data the computer trains on comes from.

Sandwich case a wrap as hero found not guilty; jury determines government’s case a turkey, claims ICE testimony didn’t cut the mustard

No Perfect Neighbors in White Supremacy A new film that subverts the gaze of the surveillance state asks how we can build a better world for all children.

ICYMI: Last week, @freeblackgirl.bsky.social wrote about Netflix's The Perfect Neighbor, a documentary that subverts police body cams to tell a heart wrenching story of fatal racism.

Jury finds D.C. ‘sandwich guy’ not guilty of assaulting officer Sean C. Dunn admitted he flung the hoagie at a federal agent. His attorneys called it a “harmless gesture” of protest as Trump commandeered D.C. police.

NOT GUILTY!!!

Ernie and Bert, two fluffy Chow Chow dogs, stand in a yard. They both look up at the treats they are hoping to eat. Ernie looks kind of concerned and Bert smiles, but it’s his smile he does when he’s trying to look cute and get a treat.

I keep forgetting to post Ernie and Bert. This was morning treat time today.
