Fucking COWARD. You have betrayed the people, and you will always be remembered as shamefully weak.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Hi, Virginia friends. I hope you all send Tim a message: get fighting or get out. I hate having MAGA senators, but having a coward like Tim is not really much better.

And then today, she decided to just say fuck you to people having trouble affording healthcare?

So she's a liar and a coward?

Why why why are so many elected Democrats so insistent on ignoring what their voters so clearly tell them?

I'm so tired of these goddamn cowards.

Really hating this last episode of Death by Lightning. Anachronisms abound.

If you have a Dem senator, please call! Some of us have two maga creep senators, so essentially have no representation in that chamber.

“This man knows no beauty and his whole world has devolved into fights on the Internet.” Man: “Liar. I will fight you on the Internet.”

Ah, yes... that's it.

My heart 💓💓💓

How dare states try to keep people from starving when the president wants them dead!

Mamdani is going to implement ShaNaNa Law. Everyone will Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip Mum mum mum mum mum mum Get a job

Wait until Axios finds out he follows tax collectors and lepers, too.

Reminds me of one of my favorite corny teacher jokes: when a student wearing camo came up to me to ask something, I'd look past them and say, "Where's that voice coming from? Can anyone see where that voice is coming from?!" 😎

Honestly, there are SO many other things to be livid about, but good god the tackiness... it's infuriating.

Mamdani embodies a pro-Palestinian politics that truly distinguishes between the state of Israel and the Jewish people, and truly takes antisemitism seriously as its own problem. That makes him a threat to those who want to absolutely conflate antisemitism and anti-Zionism, whether the ADL or WoL.

I think it would be nice if no one asked.

That is the look you get right before the poison hits

So I'm old and/or scattered enough that I need to put small task reminders on my calendar as things occur to me. And it makes for some notifications on my phone that crack me up:

Or...stop building those data centers for bullshit AI.

😳

The villainy is so extreme, it's almost cartoonish.

Good explainer.

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

Becoming a billionaire breaks the brain. It's just a fact.

I'm just going to start calling them th Supremacist Court until they prove otherwise

Imagine my surprise! I'm the daughter of a retired U.S. Army colonel and the descendent of the first clerk of the United States House of Representatives and Librarian of Congress, but I'm not really an American?🤔

Jake stood up for his colleagues this week....Now he needs a little help. Please help if you can.

Just changed settings that Bluesky had set by default. No, I'm not willing to let Bluesky decide what's "rude." And even if it's rude by my definition, so what? I can mute or block if I want.

Transphobes are already targeting the biggest star in women's soccer and baselessly alleging she's a man because she's Black. This is what trans people warned would happen. Gender policing that becomes explicitly racial. www.outsports.com/2025/11/6/24...

I’ve a young friend who recently quit a job for a mental health AI project a fraction as evil as this. She just couldn’t do it. To keep working for this trash once you’ve seen what it is is worse than peddling fentanyl. Maybe some say they’re trying to make it better. Yeah, “better” fentanyl.

Been hearing this song in my head since Tuesday night: "Let us take on the world while we're young and able And bring us back together when the day is done The door is always open Your picture's on my wall Everyone's a little broken And everyone belongs" youtu.be/ubNY-CPAp_I?...

Ready to start watching this! Though it's another reminder of how much I miss the late great John Driscoll (aka The Drisco), my high school history teacher, whom I'd really love to text with about this AND about Mamdani starting his victory speech with a Eugene Debs quote. He'd have loved that!

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

I cannot believe the sandwich jury is taking this long. What kind of loser wouldn't immediately say not guilty?

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

You could not get away with writing this as fiction without an editor telling you you'd gone too far.

I started wearing glasses for distance when I was 13, so my driver's license has always said I need corrective lenses. BUT I had cataract surgery 2 years ago, & I just renewed my driver's license & passed the vision test without glasses! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I did have them change blonde hair to gray tho.😔

Mistrial!!!

You don't want to be the Trump administration when the judge starts with a wind-up like this

Creepy phone AI story: Last night, my mom told my dad she was going to bed and read, and a voice from the phone said, "That's good. Have a good night."😱 She said it scared her to death.
