Oh thank you!!

Work won't love you back That doesn't mean you can't love your work! But know the limits of this love.

Amanda Litman has fast become one of my favorite writers of the mid-20s. Please don’t think any less of her just because one boomer thinks she’s awesome. Just read her stuff.

I got my own Covid and flu shots yesterday - my arm is sore today but otherwise I’m feeling fine. Vaccines are good and we should not be afraid to say that on the internet.

I posted online about vaccinating my kid You can probably guess what happened next...

I loved this piece from @amandalitman.bsky.social - It’s wry, sharp, shocking, and a great reminder just how thoroughly the sane outnumber the insane who are mainly in a “The Loudest Troll” competition.

“Being nice costs you nothing! Being a piece of shit costs you your humanity!” Amen, @amandalitman.bsky.social

“The percentage of the people harassing me who have Bible quotes in their bios is high.”

I went on Raging Moderates with @jessicatarlov.bsky.social to talk about why it's time to say bye bye to the boomers in power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvYz...

Your Cheat Sheet to the 2025 General Elections - Bolts Four contests have come to largely define the 2025 elections: the elections to lead New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City, plus California’s redistricting measure. But there’s so much else... Read M...

NEW: November general elections are around the corner, so it’s time to launch my cheat sheet of what’s on the ballot this fall!

I guide you thru the *185* elections I'm watching, & why: lawmakers, governors, judges, DAs, mayors, school boards, & dozens of ballot measures.

This is so millennial-coded (complimentary.)

"Convincing colleagues to vote with them is the literal job of politicians" is the key point here, which is been forgotten or abandoned by all modern Republicans. They don't believe "convincing" is part of their job, and want to just demand and bulldoze their way through everything.

Talarico first ran for office in 2018 with the endorsement of Run for Something, an organization that recruits and trains young progressives to seek local office. He was motivated by his stint as a middle-school teacher in a struggling, crowded school in San Antonio, where he’d seen how state cuts to education were harming his students. Talarico campaigned relentlessly, at one point walking the entire 25-mile length of his Republican-leaning district, holding town halls along the way. Worn out at the end of the trek, he was hospitalized and diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. But he was able to flip the seat, and in the State House, he helped lead a successful bill to cap the price of insulin at $25.

Amanda Litman, Run for Something’s co-founder, believes that the secret to his success comes to down to authenticity, an overused word in politics, but an elusive quality. She compared Talarico to Mamdani, another young populist with a talent for social media and an ability to speak extemporaneously without resorting to consultant-crafted pablum. “Not that they have the same beliefs, but they so clearly know who they are and what they believe, so they’re able to communicate that in a way that breaks through in this media environment,” she said.

What @runforsomething.net has always looked for in candidates: Strongly held values, deep ties to community, a positive vision for the future, & the skills to communicate.

It's no surprise so many of our alum (like @jamestalarico.bsky.social!) are leading us forward. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

Obsessed with the comments on my video about an incredible group of millennials running for office. (Round 2 of this theme!) People are desperate for hope & joy! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8AJw1jt/

I understand that Republican elected officials have a hard time remembering who was president when but this is not rocket science. They’re in charge. This is on them.

This is a great idea.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Convincing colleagues to vote with them is the literal job of politicians - if they can’t do that, they can’t do their jobs. They own this shutdown and all of the consequences.

😵‍💫

Catching up on the news today and hmm seems like I don’t have to be *that* concerned about the military blindly complying with orders from Trump or Hegseth, huh
