OH MY GOD

The clearly shitty scissors job some intern did on the right hand side of the "The"

The First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence!

I keep forgetting he's Secretary of State, that's just so... dumb.

REAL.

Our awful transphobic bully of a mayor lost his seat last night, so he's completely off the town council. Plus, a sneaky-ass attempt to change our charter to force yearly budget referendums FAILED. Dems didn't just win in Enfield, they won by a LOT.

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

We needed tonight so bad.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Enfield Democrats flip the town council blue! This is huge and I am so relieved.

Almost as if giving people something hopeful and solid to vote FOR wins elections

well that was fast

Every once in a while, Pennsylvania actually comes through. Go birds

I still get the election night high, especially during local elections

Crossing my damn fingers for Enfield, but this is good news.

Bashing trans people worked exactly twice: Youngkin and Trump.

Voted in municipal elections today. Hoping for the best.

I've had ancestors who died of black lung from coal mining and in horrific accidents on the railway they worked for, all so the next generation could do better.

Rainbow sighted today, Hartford

The mayor of Enfield goes on a fairly unhinged rant about antifa and BLM and trans kids on a post about the sorry state of town owned buildings.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Trump demolishing the East Wing is a good example of why the "we'll just wait for him to die" strategy isn't working well

Hey look Andrew Cuomo cut a MAGA ad

I thought it was No Klings Day

I am, of course, neutral on any and all protests. But I will say the “No Kings” branding goes a little harder given French history.

Hartford here!

I still believe this, too

Today is a great day to lift the voices of #trans characters in #books I've worked on. Check out the amazing FLIGHT OF THE SCARLETS by @whateversusan.bsky.social ! www.amazon.com/Flight-Scarl...

Disgusting.

Life of a Showgirl is amazing happy birthday to ME

oh I am not doing THIS one again

At some point we may come to the conclusion that the pact between the states is irreparably broken.

Bluesky feed is like ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ cute kitty! ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ we're doomed ------------------ [adult content] ------------------ we're doomed ------------------

They are treating red and blue states as if they are two separate countries. They see a fracture in the union and are stuffing dynamite into it.

Just posted this up at @marktwainhouse.bsky.social and you can read and respond here. It's an excerpt from "What Have The Police Been Doing?" published in San Francisco, in 1866, and it's a Twain piece I've wanted to share in this forum for years. It felt like the right moment.

Hey guys, guys, guys--this is totally the time when pointing out their hypocrisy is going to work, I can feel it

Yeah, there's already enough to see this will be a deep rabbit hole of brainrot, irony, and nihilism. We'll undoubtedly learn he spent time on 4chan and so forth, but this person is not going to have what the rest of us would consider a coherent political ideology.

This is what it is to live in a land run by bullies. Everyone is afraid. It's not right, it's not fair.

I'm considering today that some of the people who are sharing outrage and anger are doing so because they're afraid of what would happen if they didn't.

Huh. HUH.

Sure everyone will post "tell me the name of God you fungal piece of shit" but let's not forget this banger
