Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

And the new oligarchs are taking the ball and running with it! Everybody who takes the bus or rides the Amtrak ought to call every rep possible, all the time, to demand better transit 😫

In less than 1 week, Trump wasted $11.3 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars on the Iran war.

Instead that money could have:

- Restored SNAP to 4 million Americans
- Established universal pre-K education
- Built 100,000 units of housing

Our priorities are warped.

🏙️ Do district-based elections change who gets elected locally?

➡️ Studying California's recent shift, M Cushing-Daniels, D Jones & @brookenshannon.bsky.social show they increased representation from lower-income areas and reduced business influence www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #FirstView

I love the incredulousness; “these numbers are of course opposite of what we predicted” lol

Texas isn't a conservative state, it's a suppressed state! That's why they make it so hard for poor people and minorities to vote, they know we'd evict them with a quickness lol

Bad news for Republicans: I saw a billboard that said, “Executing citizens is not protecting the border” on the highway outside of Temple, Texas. Oh, y’all are cooked cooked!

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

He can say whatever he wants and issue whatever executive order he wants, but he has no legitimate power to actually do anything like this.

Panicked posts like this one give the impression that he can make good on his threats. He can't.

The white supremacist halftime show got about 5 million views, which signals there’s only like 5 million racist old white men left?? Excellent news, that’s not enough to win an election

I love The Pitt, but S2 has me annoyed at how every advanced or attending doctor is portrayed as cold and rigid compared to the male doctors’ empathetic rugged know how. Petition for a cool woman doctor character for once?

I need you all to know that it snowed/ iced NINE days ago, and we are still asynchronous. The city is so unprepared for weather that occurs at least once every 2-3 years that our only option is to wait for it to melt before resuming life. That is a policy failure!

Image of Rep. McClellan’s father’s poll tax receipt from 1947 in Davidson County, Tennessee.

Like many across the Jim Crow South, my father paid a poll tax to register to vote. He kept this receipt in his Bible as a reminder of the price he had to pay to exercise the sacred right to vote.

The 24th Amendment, ratified 62 years ago today, ended the use of poll taxes in federal elections.
