It’s difficult to overstate what a huge deal this is. Perhaps, dare we hope, justice is finally coming for the people of Gaza. A first, historic step.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

aoc is continually one of the few people in politics who actually thinks about things thoughtfully instead of racing to have an unqualified take that just confirms prior biases and we absolutely need more people like her if dems are going to ever win again

The macro conditions matter. Sometimes you run the best possible campaign and still come up short.

But in a sea of hot takes, we should be prioritizing listening to leaders who had a solid ship. We still may have disagreements, but at least we know their operation was solid & come from that place

wicked coming out soon keeps making me think about how my hs drama teacher told all of us she made the ruby slippers they were actually using on broadway but it turns out she just blatantly lied to us for no reason? anyway I hope she’s telling her current students that she made the ones in the movie

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

In the wake of the election, it's disheartening to see some Democrats throw the transgender community under the bus.

The data shows that's the wrong approach — voters actually want the government to be less involved in regulating transgender people's lives.
