The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The voice actor for Phineas on Phineas and Ferb is saying he’s getting death threats because he said he supports trans people and their rights on Twitter And I got a message back yesterday from Instagram where i reported this hateful comment that they weren’t taking it down Internet is a hellscape

Maybe I should stay over here today because Twitter/X is going to be insufferable as the results come in Might be fun to see some fascist tears tho. I can’t help myself cuz I love seeing that

Pennsylvania is a state that has really diverse & high stakes, up and down the ballot tomorrow. —control of state supreme court —lower state court races —Philly DA: Krasner's reelect —important, heated school boards —partisan battles for county execs in swing counties —Bucks County at a crossroads

The evolving conservatization of the media is profoundly and deeply worrying. I don’t like to think about it and don’t know what to do about it either

I hope when the Republicans haul my gay ass to the work camps, they at least say I was funny and had a nice butt

The Philly collab I’ve been dying for

Three days to go—don’t miss my thread on three of the biggest stakes outside of NJ, VA, NYC.

“Welcome to the confederate broadcasting system”

Some days over on Twitter get a little too loud. Like I feel like it’s getting harder and harder to meet anyone like minded over there. And the For You just pushes fascism in your face all the time it’s so annoying. I’ve seen ppl I thought were sensible start using the R slur again like it’s 2002

A lot of the gerrymandering stuff going on w/state legislatures is pretty bad because even if Trump remains unpopular into 2026, Democrats win more votes, we could still lose our one shot at halting the rest of his agenda for 2 years. Which is a big deal. Think of all Obama didn’t get done 2010-16

Daily Wire reporter is asking this question. They are itching to lock up every trans person in the US and eradicate us.

I think Trump screwing around with monetary policy might be the most concerning thing of all

Okay, I am a convert to Mack’s ultra soft foam earplugs. That’s a lot of noise reduction and very comfortable to wear

I really hate how sound sensitive I am as I grow older But also being about 7 months post-concussion is a large contributing factor here Being 38 doesn’t help tho

So I guess you can say slurs on Twitter but you can’t tell people who say Biden “won” his election that they should stop continuing to be alive and they should be the person who stops themselves from being alive … is still not allowed

Gonna sit around and wait for the novocaine to wear off now I guess

If you’re a group fitness instructor of any kind and your Apple Watch is telling you that you’re over your noise exposure limit, for your own sake and that of your class, TURN THE VOLUME DOWN *Please* ignore the people asking for higher volume!

sounds like a good candidate to lead HHS

Processed a case for a man born in the 30s whose first and middle names were “Franklin” and “Delano” and it’s almost impossible in 2025 imagining loving a president that much you name your son after him Surprisingly (or maybe not considering the times) this man was a white southerner

This is legitimately insane. It's not an exaggeration to say this is actually a full on bathroom ban for trans people because they're banned from using spaces of their sex assigned at birth too!

I really need to be more mindful about wearing my earbuds in these orangetheory classes cuz this tinnitus is pretty bad when I don’t

At some point I’m really going to have to reckon with this growing issue with tinnitus that I’m certain OrangeTheory classes are the cause of. Already started wearing Loop Quiets for a while now but I wonder if that’s enough protection for years down the road?

this is the way rich people think about health insurance

Can’t go one dang scroll on twitter without going “oh look white supremacist stuff”

Okay that 1st episode of king of the hill was good. Worth staying up for. Gonna have to find time for it during the rest of the week

Just said “Free Luigi” at the end of Gilded Age Also wtf? 8 episodes in a season? I hate the current era of television

Something about that TikTok trend where you post the #1 song on the day you were born feels data harvest-y to me cuz that’s like an indirect way of sharing personal info? Or I’m paranoid? (Justifiably)

Republicans thought they were getting people who would expose the Deep State pedophiles with Trump, Bongino and Patel. Instead, they got their protectors. Maxwell just got rewarded with a nicer prison, and in exchange, the pedophiles stay concealed. Hell of a legacy, fellas.

The far right media absolving a child sex trafficker for president God-Trump was, sadly, foreseeable and predictable

If Donald Trump hadn’t been born rich, he’d be sitting in prison for most of his life

This Sydney Sweeney jeans ad outage was so manufactured in a room full of marketing professionals

I think it’s kinda incredible Kesha got that many people out for a weekday show in Philadelphia

Sometimes looking at possible maps in states where Dems gave up redistricting power is painful.

The way cats overeat and puke is so irritating Especially excuse they love to hop back into their favorite spots (my couch) before they hurl all over it

Going out on a limb here and testifying that yes extra virgin olive oil is very good for your brain health.

All the political people who are maybe, slightly, a little bit engagement bait-y accounts haven’t quite made their transition over here

A Texas redistricting update. #txlege

This is a sitting congressman.

Ya know what I really miss? Spam being only emails

The Sydney Sweeney ad backlash is a pretty good example of why I sometimes think conservatives get to make fun of the left and it’s kinda legitimate criticism lol

Being over here makes you realize how much shitposting is an essential part of the Twitter/X experience

Man, what the hell did I eat yesterday? Besides like 4 fruit juice cocktails

He never goes on the defensive. Even with Epstein, he’s just changing the subject. Dems get defensive abt everything

Whether it's Palestinians starving to death or Americans having to hear about protests, there are victims on all sides of the war.

i've made fun of him in the past for being kind of corny but if every union in the country had someone with "bryce harper mindset" every industry would be worker-owned by the end of the year

If the Gilded Age fandom is over here maybe I can finally leave X cuz I’m getting tired of being spammed with nazi nonsense all day

I'm fighting the 'current state of things'/information blues by regularly rewatching this 8 minute horror short/addiction metaphor starring Carrie Coon (!) and Morgan Spector (!!) about a woman trapped in an endless Red Lobster commercial www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNXm...

Germany should take a page from New Zealand

Feel like I should come over here more often cuz it is getting a little too psychotic over on Bird App/X
