I hate this fucking state right now.

Worth noting that most of the people who say Bluesky is dead or useless are journalists, not organizers. Bluesky has been OUTSTANDING for me as an organizer. I've raised THOUSANDS of dollars here, gotten HUNDREDS of people to actual events, gotten LOADS of people to DO POLITICAL THINGS.

Here's Hadden (2nd from the back) with her staff on a trip to the coast in June, 1920. Were all early California librarians this hardcore? Was it part of the gig? Source: ark.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/c... 📚

Ya'll. I can't. My ability to 'can' has completely left.

GILLIBRAND: What is your record?! I don't want to just hear about what you don't like about the Biden administration SCOTT TURNER: During the Biden administra-- GILLIBRAND: Stop talking about Biden! Talk about your record TURNER: During the Biden administration-- GILLIBRAND: Oh my God!

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Zohran Mamdani has fully balanced New York City’s $12 billion deficit — an uncomfortable reminder to the political establishment that governments can, in fact, function when taxpayer money isn’t funneled toward lobbyists wealthy benefactors

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

Rest easy, good sir. Thank you for your courage and the representation. 💔

Not for nothing, but I think a lot of people have wrongly settled on “Twitter became a right-wing cesspool because all the cool people left” instead of “All the cool people left because Twitter became a right-wing cesspool.”

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥🔥

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

"generative ai is here to stay" says group of lazy pickme wannabe "creative" hacks. can't wait till it costs them eight billion dollars in tokens a month to keep the grift going we'll see if it's here to stay then. stupid fucks lmao

She's a Broadway girlie, gente! Our fantastic human @masonalexanderpark.bsky.social will be making her Broadway debut, reprising her role as Margaret in Jamie Lloyd's production of Much Ado About Nothing at The Winter Garden Theatre this November! #MasonAlexanderPark #MuchAdoAboutNothing

This is why Mr. Barnett's' 'Woops! My bad!' barely contrite apology did not resonate with me. Writing for kids is already hard in a country where literacy is not valued.Kids librarianship is already hard in a country that vilifies educators and librarians. Come on down, indeed. Mr. Barnett #kidlit

The Wolves are fun!

It's like they can't even HEAR THEMSELVES, WTAF

WATCH: “WE WILL NOT GO BACK… today is the day we see if multiracial democracy dies in Tennessee and across the South.” Powerful — ryan camp followed Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social the day Republicans stripped Memphis of representation. 🎥 www.instagram.com/reel/DYITOzA...

I don't think we will all ever unite in being anti-rape because there will always be people in positions of power who can mentally and emotionally assign a sub-human, and therefore sub-valid, status to those they assault. Also, they do it because they can. And some find they like it.

The depth and breadth of cluelessness is baffling.

The issue with the AI industrial complex is not so much that it seeks to transform machines into sentient beings, but rather that it seeks to turn human beings into machines. The goal is to subjugate us not only physically under the demands of capital, but also to dominate us in the psychic realm

A depressing state for the local election results particularly for those of us now living in a local authority controlled by a far right party. Evidence shows we are in for a shit show. Keep resisting friends. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

They could never make me hate you chappel roan.

The recent Supreme Court decision, which effectively killed the last remaining provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, represents the life’s work of John Roberts. The Roberts Court has now gutted the VRA on three different occasions, and Roberts wrote or joined all those opinions.

What did people think he meant when he said Republicans just had to elect him this one time and then they would fix it so no one had to vote anymore? Like what other explanation was there?

I could not have said it better!!!❤️💯

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

Last night was the first time in four nights I was able to sleep w/o dehumidifying machines and fans going full blast, which is probably why I woke up late. How I turned off THREE DIFFERENT ALARMS in my sleep I do not know.

The fertility rate going down is good because it means fewer teens are having kids, people are thinking hard about how many kids they can actually afford, and fewer women who don't want kids aren't being forced to have them.

Yes. Concurred.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

Every time I see her it takes me several moments to sync what she's saying because she is SO PRETTY and I'm so sorry 🫠

I'm Masuke, and I'm 17 years old. I went for a walk this morning, full of energy!
