A gorgeous evening in this beautiful but sad country. On the 9th week of the war, our addled President is doing monologues about his ballroom to the King of England. Black Summer looms ahead. But people are disassociating. A new season of Euphoria is on teevee. Sydney is doing the most

Appreciate Sec. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social recognizing what’s happening here in Northwest Georgia. The turnout, the momentum, and a 25-point overperformance in one of the reddest districts in the country says it all. People are ready for something different. Leadership matters! #GA14

thinking about the gould quote again

Ninth Grader Demi Johnson receives National Geographic award for plan to save Mississippi's oyster reef population. The ninth grader has produced 1,100 oysters that will in turn spawn millions of larvae into the ecosystem, a huge ecological impact

This will hardly get any attention but it’s important… www.theverge.com/science/9187...

Remember the wave of chattering class solidarity we saw after Sarah Huckabee was politely declined service at a restaurant? Get ready bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

Can’t wait for like, 500 articles that are like “as I dived under a table to hide from the shooter I realized I had to be even more sycophantic to the White House”

Every publication should publish the names and outlets of the people who attend tonight because most of us will want to be sure we never make the mistake of listening to them again.

What’s happening in Iran is putting real pressure on farms right here in Northwest Georgia. There’s no cushion left, and families are being forced to carry more than they can handle. We need leadership that treats this like the crisis it is. Leadership matters! #GA14

Revoking kids' visas because their parents criticized Elon Musk.

Does anyone in this administration understand how NATO works? uk.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-pe...

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

🎉 Virginia 🎉

You absolutely do not have to hand it to Tucker Carlson.

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally. It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/palantir-w...

ICE took Daphy Michel Michel, a 31-year-old Haitian immigrant with an active asylum claim, from the Washington County jail, without notifying her family. Three days later, she was found unresponsive inside a bus shelter and later pronounced dead at a hospital. From @publicsource.org

Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.

we’ve reached a point where democratic hopefuls think they can prove they have national appeal by publicly criticizing a wing of the party that exists only in the minds of on right-wing podcasters…

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Orban made grand appeals to “Christianity” and “Western Civilization,” but his “illiberal democracy” was just a scam, a way to make him and his buddies rich while subjecting Hungarians to stagnation and robbing them of their freedom. Sound familiar? (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Did META ever do this for progressive media and podcasters?

RFK Jr wants to send black kids on specific medicines to his Reparenting Plantations.

my conspiracy theory is wall street is doing everything it can to keep everything from collapsing until dems take the house and senate so they can blame the implosion on them

Breaking: Eric Swalwell resigns from the House of Representatives amid sexual misconduct allegations. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/13/e...

We made a 25-point shift by doing the work, talking to everybody, and staying focused on what families here are dealing with every day — gas, groceries, and the cost of living. Folks across Northwest Georgia are ready for something different, and I’m going to keep earning their trust. #GA14

Science is good. We should fund it.

The media arm of the party that is running cover for a pedophilia sex trafficking ring that implicates their president thinks the *real* problem is that not enough teenagers are getting pregnant these days.

Hegseth is lying, say US troops who survived Iran’s deadliest drone attack. "We moved closer to Iran, to a deeply unsafe area that was a known target.” Asked to describe the degree of fortification, one soldier responded: "From a drone defense capability … none." www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...

so far in hungary, Vance has stumped for a kleptocratic dictator, regurgitated putinist propaganda, and is now indulging the gutter racism of his hosts. it really is an unvarnished look at what the ideological character of the trump regime is.

There were people standing in line last night to vote in Georgia in the midst of Trump possibly nuking Iran who decided “I think I’ll vote for the Republican.” These people never fucking learn a goddamn thing.

At this point, you’d need to give the DOJ a budget the size of the Pentagon’s if you’re going to prosecute all of these criminal sons of bitches when Democrats take over.

I don't think Kamala Harris would've threatened to commit genocide in Iran on a random Tuesday morning a month after starting an unwinnable war with them for no reason

Thank you, Northwest Georgia. This wasn’t the result we wanted, but the message is clear — people here are ready for leadership that puts them first. The fight continues. On to November! #GA14

Leadership matters. We came up short tonight, but look at what we built. This was a fair, hard-fought race, and we’re closer than ever. If we show up and make our voices heard, we win. Tonight we start working for November. #GA14

Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Playing “Kamala’s laugh” on repeat over the loudspeaker as nuclear bombs drop across the globe and I prepare for nuclear winter.

Samuel L. Jackson said it plain: show up and vote. This runoff is happening because too many voices stayed home last time. Let’s fix that. Election Day is Tuesday. Get to the polls. #GA14

Hegseth's immoral religious fanaticism makes the ayatollahs look like atheists

I’m sorry I know this is serious but Trump saying “praise be to Allah” on Easter Sunday is legitimately so fucking funny to me and I just know a bunch of right wing religious lunatics are being straight-jacketed as I type this 🤣

WHY DID WE HAVE TO RESCUE THEM? WHY DID WE HAVE TO RESCUE THEM, MOTHER FUCKER?!?!

Hands down the most “New York Times” shit I’ve ever seen in my life!

If I’m sent to Congress, I’ll be working every day to bring costs down. Right now, folks are getting hit from all sides, tariffs driving up prices and a war of choice adding even more pressure. We need to change that. #TrumpsTariffsCostUS

Meanwhile, on the moon...

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

Grateful for Senator Jon Ossoff’s support. This campaign is about bringing steady, focused leadership to Northwest Georgia, lowering costs, strengthening healthcare, and actually getting things done for the people who live here. Leadership Matters! #GA14
