it's virulent antisemite and misogynist Hasan Piker, who was invited by College Democrats of America to speak to their convention, &, unsurprisingly, sh*t on the Democratic Party bc that's what he does for a living. It's made him a multimillionaire cosplay socialist who lives in a mansion.

Yep. By the way, College Democrats is run by students from "elite" institutions that are rife with antisemitism. There are no HBCU students in the College Democrats' leadership, which tells you everything you need to know about this elitist, unrepresentative organization.

🤮

The anatomy of an AI-supported academic article is becoming more apparent. I desk reviewed ~70 manuscripts this week for our journal. Reckon 20ish had significant AI assistance. On top of hundreds of others recently I'm starting to see patterns. Are other editors are seeing the same or similar? 1/

Packed ballroom for the Rock Hill Branch of the NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet tonight. Good to be with so many old friends. Canvass in the morning. Banquet at night. Both were important, but only one had banana pudding. #SCpol

Taco Bell was one of the first companies to sign the "Yes, we WILL only buy tomatoes from farms that stop doing slavery" pledge with Coalition of Immokalee Workers. @immokaleeworkers.bsky.social

Out canvassing in Fort Mill, South Carolina this morning for legislative candidate Heather Hart. #SCpol

We don’t need education about ethical *use* of AI; we need more education in how it is being *used on* and against us. 2/n

Water is a standalone issue.

The Great Recession hit our county hard. But through wise leadership, we made it through better than expected. It speaks volumes that a former County Manager, whose job it was to work with County Council, would be working every day to get a former Councilman elected to higher office. #SCpol

Lovely public radio story about Annie Andrews’ campaign in the wake of Graham’s passing featuring two wise residents of York County: Steve Love and Marinn Pierce. @daviddarmofal.bsky.social might appreciate these authentic voices. #SCpol www.southcarolinapublicradio.org/sc-news/2026...

Irony is extra dead. OMG.

I have eaten the diarrhea lettuce that was in the crisper and which you were probably saving for tacos forgive me it was delicious hang on gotta run

When we drive across the country to see family (SC to NM) we rely on those bean burritos.

There is definitely a path! Control of the US Senate may depend on South Carolina. Please help amplify this and consider a donation. If you live in SC or can travel, consider volunteering. I’ll be knocking doors tomorrow. #SCpol #Midterms secure.actblue.com/donate/loc_a...

Really good explanation of the indirect land use effects (i.e., deforestation and other ecosystem loss) related to crop-based biofuels by @mbolotnikova.bsky.social:

As if the momentary blackening of the sky while a portal to hell opened up to claim Mitch wasn't evidence enough. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

The ICE agent who fatally shot a man in Maine has a long history of violence and mental health issues, per family and court records. A 2025 voicemail: “All of you should have your fucking throats cut.” Read the full article—it’s mind-boggling. apnews.com/article/ice-...

I post these little plant or farm snippets to break up the unrelenting but not-our-fault negativity of “us all processing the daily news together.” This little 🌱 emoji puts these posts in a whole feed of garden posts, so if you are feeling burned out, hop over to that feed.

Remember me posting about the other Southern bean family besides the lima? These black eye peas are supposed to be grown in the field without a trellis, but we decide to trellis them this year in an attempt to keep them in our standard 3’ by 100’ beds. As you can see: Failure! 🌱

Ossoff: "We restore checks and balances by winning this election overwhelmingly"

Love this.

Anyone else find it suspicious that the White House is releasing a bunch of “newly discovered” findings concerning the 2020 election weeks after they conducted mass firings of career intelligence officers? 🙋‍♀️

Trump once called Georgia demanding officials hand him 11,000 votes that didn’t exist. It didn’t work then & it won’t fly now. Sen. Warnock’s reply: “We are unmoved.” Georgia isn’t intimidated by a man who’s been relitigating his own loss for six years. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

This is a good barometer of the truthiness of the rest of the speech.

In response to Trump’s speech tonight; Great day to donate to Jon Ossoff’s campaign, or any Dem esp in swing state or tight races! Talarico inTexas, Sherrod Brown in Ohio , Peltola in Alaska, Josh Turek in Iowa, Roy Cooper in NC, Annie Andrews in SC etc. - Add any Dems we should be looking at!

"Taco Bell found out it's suppliers sold them tainted food because the government cut back on food safety checks" Fixed it for you.

What a fun night for trivia at Lake Wylie Brewing! Every five years, family from here and far come for a reunion, fun and fellowship. My family is blessed to call this area home, and I want to make sure South Carolina and District 15 remain a safe and prosperous place to live and raise all families!

This is truly one of the most distopian moments in the disgusting trajectory of AI in classrooms. People should be outraged, and reporters should be asking about every single question Julie asks here.

How do we think the MAHA crowd is going to spin this? Conspiracy? Embracing diarrhea? Getting angry at government for not allowing quack cures?

Might as well. It’s not like we can eat lettuce.

Ha!

So if all our elections are rigged, does that mean Kamala won?

This Administration is engaged in the largest criminal cover-up in American history.   Todd Blanche cannot serve as AG. Full stop.

TFW you run into Farmer’s Exchange for supplies to do a buckwheat planting and run into your favorite State Senate candidate, @chadforsenate.com That young man has registered to vote just to vote for Chad. Also he likes dogs. #SCpol If you approve, donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/chad-...

The “Urban vs rural” discourse is exactly the kind of thing Russia loves to stoke to turn us against each other. Go touch grass, y’all.

Every time an influencer says Democrats aren’t doing anything when they actually are, they’re spreading both misinformation & distrust in the Democratic Party. That’s not something our democracy can afford.

Ossoff: In my view, he's obsessed with Georgia because he can't get over the fact that it was black voters and black political power who were instrumental to his defeat in Georgia and in a number of crucial battleground states.

💯

Y’all know how past generations get made fun of for boiling all vegetables to death, thus ruining texture and flavor? I’ve long said we probably would, too, in the food safety environment they were in.

i cannot handle canadian wildfire smoke and the threat of diarrhea lettuce at the same time

Childish! Essentially: Ossoff asks a question. Clayton says he won’t answer it. Ossoff says he has to answer it. Clayton says he has, and that his answer is that he won’t answer. *pouts and looks away*

Interesting note in our @runforsomething.net weekly reports from candidates: In a state house race in Delaware, the number one thing they're hearing at on the doors is electricity bills.

I’ve dedicated my life to protecting democracy & fighting for freedom. It’s why we stood up to Putin and why I spoke out against Trump. My next mission: fighting for what’s right here at home. I’m running for #MI07 because it's time to put Michigan families first and fight back.

This is the scary part. Large outbreaks could happen if it gets into water supplies. Read the whole article. It’s a doozy. Like we don’t have enough to worry about right now.

“.. I asked a few AI researchers whether they could name any other real-world software that scales so poorly. None of them could think of any. “.. By economic and engineering measures, generative AI might be the worst technology ever deployed.” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Rep. James Clyburn was on the Senate floor today to see Darline Graham being sworn in as SC's new Senator. As I had to spend so much time telling people yesterday who would never deign to set foot in SC, you simply do not understand the politics of our small state. cc: @tangentsafari.bsky.social
