MAGA wants us to stop defining teenagers as children when it comes to a host of rights and responsibilities. A 🧵. We see it in their pronatalist push, in which they are explicit about wanting teens to marry young and begin pumping out children.

TODAY! Come see ALL the CD-1 candidates! Sign up in link!

This #VA-01 candidate forum is tomorrow!

If you view Alito as a well educated white supremacist using the law to defend white supremacy, everything here makes sense.

So, choose like it matters, because it does. Have the COURAGE to back the underdog. Drop a 💪 in the comments if you're choosing courage in this election cycle. @flareusa.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social

Let's play a quick game of "This or That." Every time you vote, you're actually choosing. Big money or the people. TV ads or boots on the ground. The status quo or the fight for something better.

Look I get where people are going with the whole "Americans won't do those jobs!!" thing. But at a certain point, it just turns into an excuse for "And that's we don't have to care if those jobs are shit. It's just immigrants doing them anyway!" : / Y'all see how that's a problem?

Nope! -The company that owns the plant went bankrupt bc people just eat way less canned fruit than we used to. -At least half the farm & food handling workers in CA ARE US CITIZENS & GREEN CARD RESIDENTS.

People, in every field, are watching their careers get burned into ash in favor of a machine that is *allowed* to make vastly bigger mistakes than they would ever be allowed to. The machine can't even get the company's name right, but *you* are hounded over the color of a single pixel, etc.

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

The cuts to SNAP are now kicking in. Since the OBBB passed, 4.7 million Americans have lost food assistance - that’s 11% of people on the program. Wittman / the OBBB didn’t address fraud or waste. He’s simply making people hungry and is okay with that. Remember in November.

We don't think that waiting 940 days until January 22, 2029 is healthy for democracy. We demand Congress honor their oaths now. Trump is historically unpopular, weak, and failing. There's no downside to pushing for his impeachment.

Lately, I’ve been hearing about low voter turnout for the #VA-01 Democratic primary & that too many folks seem unaware it’s happening. To help spread the word, I commissioned an update of my previous candidate video! Please share with everyone who needs this info! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy8u...

Yesterday we reported on Wittman’s connections to Omega Protein (large menhaden processor in Reedville) & the lack of scientific studies to assure the long-term future of the Bay. Spanberger is now trying to address the challenge. Will Rob push back or agree he should have done more on this himself?

Clean indoor air is *the* main answer to the spread of respiratory disease. Just like in the 20th century we agreed potable water and unpolluted outside air were public goods, in the 21st we should be mandating air changes per hour and filtration inside.

#anime fans! There’s a high-level documentary in the works from CREATORVC. They’ve hired me to write and direct Icons of Anime, which will explore the impact of anime on the West! They need to hear from you to move forward! Read all about it and fill out the survey TODAY! (Link in comments)

The public has a right to know what is happening w voter data. We are honored to represent the @brennancenter.org in this case to find out.

The amount of human suffering, injury, and illness that has been avoided by the advent of hormonal contraception is staggering; the amount of human potential, talent, and innovation that it has unleashed should make you weep with gratitude.

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Though the SCOTUS bench is made up of justices, we do not have justice. That’s it, that’s the post.

Ask how many more shifts they’d let a surgeon work after a week in which they severely harmed 12-15% of their patients

The primaries are here! #gotv I’m running to unseat Rob Wittman (R, VA-01). I’m a healthcare attorney, a caregiver to a disabled combat veteran, and an unapologetically progressive grassroots Dem.

I’ve spent more than a year reporting on how the fossil fuel industry has infiltrated academia over the last 30 years, shaping fundamental paradigms on how to address climate change. My first story in the new @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social series, “Carbon Captured”, is out today.

"For 19 years, “I cleaned up the Bay” has been the implied promise of the legislation he supported. The real deliverable was a spreadsheet." Extraordinary analysis from @wittmanwatch.bsky.social

OMG epic movie news we’re getting a sequel to the awesome #ShaolinSoccer! Kung Fu Soccer will feature an all-female soccer team!!!!!! Thank you Stephen Chow, you made my day. I’m so happy!!!!! www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

I wrote more about this topic on my author blog, using a “case study” style that compares #VA-01 progressive candidate @erickakopp.com and me, a progressive sci-fi romance author. Read it for the intellectual stimulation and also the 🤯. www.heathermassey.com/the-observat...

As I follow the 2026 #VA-01 Democratic primary, I'm struck by how much progressive candidates and progressive romance authors like me have in common. The biggest one, obviously, is standing for progressive ideas like universal healthcare, progressive taxation, and robust social safety nets. 🧵

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...
