Imo suggesting someone becoming disabled will be “Karma” is super insulting. Becoming disabled isn’t a punishment, it’s chance. If you suggest a bad person "deserves" it, it's like suggesting disabled folk have done something wrong or bad to be disabled.

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

"Antisemitism simply doesn't exist on the Left," I confidently type into my newsletter. I hit send. Now, it's time to take a big sip of coffee and see what's new with celebrated leftist Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner...

Sometimes I dream my children are my younger siblings. Last night I dreamt I was comforting my youngest child, who was once again a preschooler, and telling him our parents didn't get him much for Xmas but that I would get a job & buy him more. Idk what that's supposed to mean but it left me sad

What's the over/under for Trump pardoning him again if he's convicted?

I think the next administration should create a limited-time office to investigate and prosecute crimes associated with previous presidential administrations. It should not outside DOJ, expire in 4 years, and everyone who joins has to be banned for 10 years from working for the govt again

It looks even worse by video 😢

good afternoon

I know nothing should surprise me, but I'm stunned by this picture. If you own a designated historic property (not that I do), usually you can't even install a doorbell that isn't period-specific. Or at least you wouldn't. This makes me heartsick.

Wow. He just cut him off

Was the Louvre job just some gorilla marketing for this movie??

Oh, if she comes up missing, he totally killed her. I really think people underestimate the level of hatred & violence men can bring into a relationship. Idgaf if this was said in jest. What a fucked up thing to say to someone

do not forget about the good

what the fuck are you talking about, she made a whole community of friends online and was stabbed to death by two of her classmates

can they stop inflicting this fucking guy on us, NOBODY likes him other than the women he brainwashed into his fucking cult

"When Microsoft opened a data center in central Mexico last year, nearby residents said power cuts became more frequent. Water outages, which once lasted days, stretched for weeks. The shortages led to school cancellations and the spread of stomach bugs in the town of Las Cenizas..."

Personally, I'm having a really hard time deciding between Edwards & Menefee. I feel like both are good choices & I appreciate their policies around affordable healthcare especially

now i can't tell you which congressional district you'll live in by then because, like i said, TX just passed a new gerrymandered map and voting advocates are asking a court to block it and we just don't know yet which map will be in effect. but if you have any questions lmk

this thread still isn't over. plot twist #2: after this election, after the maybe runoff election.... there's going to be a primary election almost immediately and you're going to have to go vote again. i'm sorry again. early voting will start february 17.

plot twist #1: there could be a runoff election because there are so many people running that it's possible no one will get 50+% of the vote. if that happens? you're going to have to go vote again. i'm sorry.

there are 70 locations open during early voting and 599 (!!) locations open on election day you can vote at *any of these locations* harrisvotes.com/Vote-Centers

voting is going on right now. if you're like me and you procrastinate, just go now and get it done. don't wait until election day. this weekend, voting is open on saturday AND sunday. these are the voting hours:

if you want to learn more about the people on the ballot, i recommend you start by reading the league of women voters houston voter guide. the district 18 race starts on page 12: digital.houstonvotersguide.org/nov2025/12/

now's your chance to vote. a lot of people are running for the seat. UH did some recent polling and found these are the leading candidates: www.uh.edu/hobby/cd18/

republicans have a narrow majority in congress, and by leaving your district without a representative, the governor was able to help the GOP by keeping democrats down a vote. so for months, you haven't had anyone representing you in the house.

usually members of congress aren't elected this year, but district 18 is an exception because rep. sylvester turner died in march. the TX governor could have called a special election to quickly fill the seat months ago, but he didn't.

if you thought you were registered to vote but you can't confirm it online for whatever reason, call harris county and ask: 713-274-8200. if that doesn't help, call the texas voter protection hotline: 1-866-687-8683 www.texasvoterprotection.org

your second question might be: but wait, am i registered to vote? and the thing is, you actually need to check and make sure. if you live in houston, you can check your registration status here: www.hctax.net/Voter/Search...

i'm guessing your first question might be: wait, do i live in district 18? a good question, especially since TX just passed a new congressional map. this congressional election is using the OLD MAP. this link is great for checking your district (old & new): www.texastribune.org/2025/09/04/2...

houston: as you may know, there's an important election going on *right now* to fill a seat in congress. this is a big deal. if you live in district 18, the governor has deliberately denied you representation in congress since march. now is your chance to vote. here's some info🧵
