i'm gonna call again tmrw, i'll call every dang day i s2g

my day got away from me, but I called and left a rambling msg (i'm so much worse when I don't have a script), like "just calling to reiterate that I do NOT want the Sen to vote to open the govt until we have the ACA subsidies in hand, he should not do this or he'll ruin things for all of us"

I called Ossoff about this yday, but I may call again today tbh. He's worried about reelection but he has to know that if he screws this up he's gonna lose us. (If your senator is one of the few listed here, please call!)

"A.i." is racist because its inputs are racist and this use of it will also be racist. Inexcusable. Ban this wicked product from your life as much as you possibly can.

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

I have absolutely no interest in middle ground or compromise on any human rights, for roughly the same reasons that I have absolutely no interest in allowing a leopard to eat only *part* of my face.

lol

your honor, it was a bit

it's a good thing bluesky is hinky right now or i would have posted about ten more sandwich puns by now

aaaand that's a wrap no wait

jesus

sub guy ate their lunch

Surprising, because the DOJ doesn't muffeletta prosecutions

Lettuce celebrate

The gyro we all needed!

sub standard prosecution

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

Jon Cryer is a good dude.

Hey y’all I would be remiss if I didn’t mention I’ll be doing my first signing at a Con ever(!) tomorrow at Rhode Island Comic Con!!! and all my proceeds will be going to @trevorproject.bsky.social for LGBTQ+ youth Love to see you there!

The Famous Teddy Z himself is coming to a comic convention near you (if you happen to be in Rhode Island, which, let's face it, most of you don't.) Paying him for a signature is actually giving to a good cause!

heyyy this is a big deal!

i mean!

well damn now *I* want a sandwich

Yeah, this was set to "Hide" in my settings. Fuck right off with that.

wow this blew up check out mamdani's soundcloud

It's p cool that she stopped AOC from being the Oversight Committee lead only for her choice to die and Nancy to announce retirement less than a year later 🙃

Good.

I was reminded of this again when I saw this headline and article in the New York Times, published on November 2: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/02/n...

buying into AI

“authors & publishers who filed a lawsuit against the Sam Altman-led firm have secured access to internal Slack messages… discussing the mass deletion of a pirated books dataset… A NY district court ordered OpenAI to hand over the communications regarding data deletion” futurism.com/artificial-i...

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

That's murder.

this is why we have to be extremely on our guard regarding voter suppression and the federal militarization of our cities

i try not to be hyperbolic but this NY daily news editorial board piece saying mayor-elect mamdani better support israel OR ELSE is one of the most appalling things i’ve ever read

Flying Squirrel Loves It Every Time

just reposting this so i can keep track of this account after the name change lol

billions of artificial spotify streams? wow he must have gotten a couple hundred dollars from that, easy

On two separate occasions when I was doing poll visibility for Mamdani in Brooklyn, people said "Oh, I'm from Philly," and I said, "Oh, then you should vote for Chris Rabb - he's running for Congress!" And BOTH TIMES they said they knew him and would be voting for him. Sample size of two, but 👍

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

#Gerrymandered and fired up? Fight back—run for office, even when the map is rigged. Can’t Win Victory Fund helps “can’tidates” in impossible districts make noise, grow the vote for up-ballot races and push for fair maps—and yes, we make it fun. Apply to run: cantwinvictoryfund.com/run

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

This is really smart

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office. Democrats swept all 13. That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular). They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

🟢 It’s official: former Assemblyman Michael Blake is running for Congress in NY-15, challenging Rep. Ritchie Torres. “I am ready to fight for you and lower your cost of living,” Blake writes, “while Ritchie fights for a genocide.”

New — I wrote about Zohran's victory, the challenge of celebrating wins in a broken world, and reconciling the competing realities of profound hope and festering fear:

🧵Brian Straw is one of the folks charged, along w/ Kat Abughazaleh, w/ felony conspiracy to impede federal officers in Broadview [Chicago]. As it happens, he's also my friend, a deeply decent man whose compassion shines & fairly shimmers off him, no matter what he's doing. If you can help, pls do.

heyyyy the great @marisakabas.bsky.social has a new post - which includes one of my photos! i'm a grown up photojournalist now! www.thehandbasket.co/p/zohran-mam...
