Sometimes I be listening to orchestral performances on YouTube, and I love when they pan to the percussion section and I see they've brought a bigass gong out like aw yeah it's about to go down

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

American Jews have been TRYING to tell folks that yes, AIPAC is evil, & fuck them, but Christian Zionists in the US outnumber Jews IN THE WORLD & have risen to power in all areas of our government, & they want to bring the End Times (& kill all the Jews btw), AND THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social this was a KEY part of your campaign and we believed you when you said it. But you have been radio fucking silent on this issue. Are you going to abandon trans people or are you gonna keep your promises?

AG Letitia James Just Stood Up For Trans Youth In New York. Now, Will Mayor Mamdani Act? Attorney General Letitia James has demanded NYU Langone restart care for transgender youth. Will NYC Mayor Mamdani act as well?

1. In a major move, AG Letitia James has given NYU Langone 10 days to resume trans youth care, or face legal consequences.

Now many are asking: Will Mayor Mamdani follow suit and take action to protect trans youth from the Trump administration and capitulation?

If I'm reading this right, *50% to 90%* of voters at high-turnout locations are being redirected to their precincts????

If that is causing voters to just give up, it would explain the massive undercount for Crockett thus far today in Dallas.

Sex Workers Versus the Algorithm No seriously, fuck the algorithm.

HAPPY FLYTRAP TUESDAY!! This week, @sesmith.lol writes about the "algorithmic violence" navigated by sex workers across platforms, how it robs SW of their time, creativity, and (most importantly) their money.

Good afternoon! It's day two of "Sell All the Stuff Before We Close The Shop for Bree's Surgery" and I'm preparing another short thread of thinks I've finally restocked!

Starting off are one of our most popular coaster sets! These always go pretty fast, but I have 5 now!

Inside the $64 million midterm civil war infuriating Democratic Party leadership A staggering 30 House Democrats have at least one primary challenger who has raised $100,000 or more.

The fact that so many House Dems are blaming their challengers for their predicament rather than acknowledging the deep-seated anger that voters feel is probably a reason why more of them will lose!

The fact that so many incumbent Democrats are facing challenges this year as liberals and progressives demand hardline opposition to Trump is…

Like, the most hopeful thing happening today.

The GOP and conservative movement hate democracy and want to destroy it.

That is very clear.

The Democratic Party establishment, meanwhile, fears it, treating primary challenges as inconveniences and disloyalty.
