getting fetterman flashbacks from platner

We're soon going to need a "Graham Platner Apologizes" bot, similar to the old "Lena Dunham Apologizes" bot from Twitter.

Congress is set to vote this week on the law @wyden.senate.gov has been warning about, Section 702 of FISA. Use our action center to tell your lawmaker not to renew Section 702 without major reform to protect Americans' privacy rights: freedom.press/action/refor...

I can confirm. My father taught at Smith and his best friend Leonard Baskin taught at Hampshire and Leonards wife Lisa was a part of the divestment movement as was my dad.

anyone remember pets dot com?

This comment is from 2014! It is not some new stance of hers!

Could we get some of this energy here

who?

If you live in NY, MA, or any of the other "blue" states with age verification bills on the docket, call your reps and governor and tell them exactly why this is actually going to kill children, not keep them "safe".

that was the sound of every bisexual furiously smashing "like" on this post

Okay bluesky I need your help I live in Massachusetts. You might think we're a bastion of lefty intellectualism but our state government a clusterfuck of post-puritan real estate bros Reskeet this. Text it to your "friends from home" Help this find every masshole poster who will know what to do

Hampshire College was the first college to divest from South Africa during apartheid, all the way back in 1977.

Chelsea Manning is one of the few people who has both fought and suffered enough that she has arguably earned the right to sit and do absolutely nothing for the rest of her life, guilt-free. Instead, she willingly risks incarceration, *again*, in order to protest war and genocide.

Hundreds of protestors from a coalition of organizations were arrested while staging a sit in outside of Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand’s office during an anti war demonstration demanding an end to U.S. weapons shipments to Israel.

But I don't understand that concern at all. I'd rather represent ten people for free, only seven of whom actually needed me, than represent no one for free and seven people don't get lawyers at all.

Wait, let's hear this man and his t-shirt slogan out...

This implies... interesting things about the general security of the White House and access to Trump's person

The fact that this is actually spelled "Crunk Juce" makes it 100% better

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has declared that NYC is a socialist city now, and the subs here are just going to have to adapt!!!

JD Vance hasn’t fucked an ottoman like this since undergrad

people are *starving* for someone - anyone - fighting for positive material change. It cuts across party or ideological lines to some degree - people need a positive (in the sense of "defining something by what it is, not what it is not") vision of the future.

after they do this, you'll explain to newcomers to the city that they used to just pile trash on the sidewalk and they'll think you're fucking with them and telling an obviously made-up tall-tale

Will the MA in Gender Studies return to Budapest? It will be interesting to see whether Orban’s aggressively regressive gender politics will be quickly dismantled.

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

Prada finally tapping into the lucrative ABDL market

This was a fun read. Funnily if you know anything about Yoko Ono's art practice, recording two minutes of silence was 100,000% more up her alley than Lennon's to begin with

In 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono released a track called "Two Minutes Silence". In 1988, Soundgarden covered the song but released it as "One Minute of Silence". They covered John Lennon's minute of silence, intentionally omitting Yoko Ono's half of the two minutes of silence.

This is how much they hate people speaking out about genocide.

you hated them while they were happening!!!

everything sucks but I guess having a Very Good Boy™ does make things suck a little less

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

These are table stakes. Any Democrat not willing to say this does not deserve your vote, your money, your time.

I would like to live in more boring times please

Really tired and frustrated watching folks talk about how a nuclear strike or its destructive equivalent to Iran would endanger Americans. people are people. Iranian children are just as vulnerable and just as beloved as ours. Iranians have as many dreams and hopes and gifts as we do.

You are a senator.

How many lines of code are you shipping today while waiting to find out if WW III is starting?

i wonder if it's nerve-wracking, being completely out of touch. or if it's serene; just u, ur crewmates, and space, and nothing else or perhaps is it just busy, since there's science to do in the meantime.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

The problem with balloons is not just the latex or mylar/plastic waste they create. Helium is a rare and limited resource, which is also essential for use in important tasks like medical imaging (MRIs). Both the casing and the filling are extremely wasteful and environmentally unfriendly!

I think especially because the news media has recently demonstrated what "we think the president is incompetent and that he should not be in office" looks like in how they covered Biden post-debate and don't do the same for Trump

If you let them ban porn, they will call you pornographic when they ban you.

It is wild to me that the President of the United States posted "praise be to Allah" on Easter, and that's not front page news. But of course, the NYT is going to run some op-ed tomorrow on "Why It's Antisemitic to Let a Muslim Be Mayor" or some racist garbage like that

for the award of "most pathetic loser behavior on this site", I'd like to nominate "A/B testing your comebacks to see which will perform better (and then getting zero likes on either one)"

this is legitimately an insane attitude to take towards journalism standards, and thinking about it for even 0.2 seconds would reveal why

It’s my birthday 🎉 and I have one wish! Come knock doors with us. Best gift I could ask for. lindseyfornyc.com/volunteer

The punctuation here is extremely suspicious. I'd bet this is either AI or someone else posting from his account - there's no way Trump would use ʼ instead of '

Man. That is one bisexual cat.

Counterpoint: I knocked on ~1000 doors for Zohran, and it was the most energizing thing I’ve done since the Obama campaign. Unaffiliated voters were amongst the most fun to talk to — and people would stop us on the street as we canvassed to tell us they were going to vote! Only Cuomo voters fussed.
