What we know so far, 8:30pm —Democrats flip VA-Gov & VA-LG. —Also means Dems take VA trifecta. —Dems in good shape to win NJ-Gov. —Dems appear to flip 2 statewide offices in Georgia. —JD Vance's half-brother loses in Cincinnati. —Last GOPer in Orlando council gone. —PA: Dem justices up big so far.

"Fuck Cuomo, Trump, and all the cretins like them" as a message out of NYC is so desperately, desperately needed right now.

As someone who pays taxes, I want my money going to supplement food, health care, and education for less privileged and fund climate change mitigation. I do NOT want to pay for billionaires to become trillionaires, bombing Gaza, gaudy presidential ballrooms, or secret police to terrorize immigrants.

Happy Halloween

how it feels to do physical activity after the age of 35

Defaulting to surgical masks in health care settings in 2025 is one of the most dissapointing examples of reluctance to change despite overwhelming evidence. Even defaulting to KN95 style would significantly increase protection of the most vulnerable. Infuriating inertia in the HC industry.

Happy Prime Days! You know what's really Prime? Supporting indie artists! Buy my pins 🤣🤣🤣💕 www.adorkabows.com/shop/

To seriously address this: I think it's product of how wildly alienated from one another we've become as a people that anyone of us tries to talk ourselves into an algorithm being sentient. Also, making bunch of facile comparisons so we can pretend we're still making progress when we're not

Is there a gas leak at Bluesky HQ or something? What is going on?

OK Bluesky friends. Use the code “BSTariffRefund” on checkout to save 15%. Let me explain. So, since the new shipping restrictions and tariffs went into effect my sales have fallen off a cliff. And in the last 2 weeks I have received only a single order. (1/5)

Renn faire fun!

Feed Cleanse.

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

I don’t know what’s more disqualifying: being friendly with Trump, strategizing with Trump to defeat a fellow Democrat, or thinking that Trump has better insight than you do about how to win votes in NYC.

morning mood

Feeling sick, angry that some of my ex-friends and family voted for a pedo or at least pedo-adjacent guy, for president. They can't even say they had no idea because he was making comments about going in dressing rooms of teen pageants the FIRST time he ran. Even if they come around, I won't forget.

Oh my glob

The average Republican agrees with the sharia law much more than Ilhan Omar or Zohran Mamdani

This is so stupid... was Cuomo asked to condemn the sexual harassment and corruption he participated in? At all during his campaign? I never saw it. But Zohran has to repeatedly condemn a phrase he doesn't even use? Come on!

Mamdani should just ask everyone demanding apologies and clarifications why they would believe him when they refuse to believe the thousands of Jewish New Yorkers who voted for him and the highest ranking Jewish official in the city

The best thing about all the Zohran hysteria is that it allows sane people to identify antisemites AND Islamophobes at the same time.

Someone calling progressives crazy just messaged me telling me they know there are 3 dangerous Muslim plants in US/Europe government but the person can't reveal this publicly due to safety concerns... Again they said the progressive left is crazy and illogical...

Just found out there's a Persian market in the neighborhood so I'm going to go shop there; seems fitting after last night's attacks. It's not much but at least it's something I can do.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

Israel isn't in control of the United States. This is just who the US is and has always been. Saying we're controlled is just a way of saying we're victims. We're not. We're an imperial power that likes war because it's profitable and enriches our oligarchs. That's it.

Are X and Truth Social not enough for these conservative shills? Why do they have to come here and then pretend they're "just asking questions" or "here for good discussion" when they're clearly not? They hate liberals or anyone not extreme right wing so why even come over here?

He is such a loser in every way. I almost feel bad for him. Threw away any morals he had for power and fame and still almost no one likes him.

"Was it really this dumb in 2003" guys they renamed french fries

Y'all notice they're rounding up most of these "freeloading" immigrants AT WORK???!!

I'm wheezing

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

PSA if you're thinking of going to one of the protests tomorrow and the one closest to you has a private address that you need to RSVP to get, do not go to that one, you will end up on a list that the Feds can subpoena only go to protests that list a public address and don't RSVP for them either

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

For all those saying these protests accomplish nothing

Hey, to any service member just keep in mind that this is what the current commander in chief thinks of you. No funding, food, water, equipment, or lodging. Just using you as a political pawn for the advancement of his and Stephen Miller’s butthurt racist agenda.

Can New England and California secede and become Canada's sideburns?

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

Actions that do great immediate harm and have no credible path to making the world better, are not excused by someone shouting a slogan you like beforehand, or having some symbolic resonance with a sympathetic cause. All the sneering at consequentialist reasoning has driven some people off a cliff.

I support Palestinian rights but the attacker in Colorado who set peaceful Jewish Americans on fire has nothing to do with that, helps no Palestinians, punishes people who don't control Israel's policies, and frankly sickens me. If you're defending this you are absurd.

headline construction masterclass

I left a comment. Limiting covid vaccines to only the elderly or highest risk is not smart.

SO many false binaries. All can be true: 1. Biden and his campaign and allies were wildly irresponsible. 2. We should wish Biden the best in fighting cancer. 3. Trump is a much greater threat to democracy. 4. VERY few voters will think about this in 2028. Distrust anyone who says we have to pick.

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.
