One of the few things I miss about my small town is I could stop the asshole school board president in the bread aisle and tell him what I really thought of him and it would get repeated (and distorted) in the town rumor mill until everyone knew about it and he’d be broken by the experience.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Very cool that an insurance company can just decide they’re not going to cover a medication my doctor says I need.

We cannot let “haunted ICE agent regretfully explores his feelings/past/guilt” become a genre the way we did with every bad actor since the Confederates.

Canada loses Measles elimination status, as does the entire Americas region. Clinics here have signs warning about Measles but no masks in healthcare www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent. Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado. One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

This is no shade to Karen, but a lot depends on how primaries are held in your state. If you're a progressive in a closed primary state like NY, congrats registering as an independent blocked you from voting from Mamdani in the primary. If you're in an open primary state, you do you.

There is no good faith anti-trans argument.

If you’re a member of the caucus who is actually outraged by this, you will call for Schumer’s ouster as leader.

Instead of saying "fuck disabled people, i have to work 40+ hours a week to survive"... You could stand in solidarity with us and help us achieve a world where your worth and survival is not dependent on how much work you can do, how little sleep you can get, and how many people you can starve.

Before ACA, many Americans couldn’t afford insurance Alex Smith was a diabetic who got kicked off his Mom’s insurance at 26 He made 35k a year which was “too much” for Medicaid, but not nearly enough to cover insurance premiums He had to ration his insulin & died a month after losing insurance

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

I’m glad I woke up in the middle of the night for this Senate vote I hate getting backstabbed in my sleep

Who the fuck cares?

Disabled people tried to warn you. We said that the rising eugenicist sentiment that accelerated during the “back to normal” phase of Covid would eventually hurt everyone The new healthcare plan for America appears to be: Don’t get sick If you do get sick, it’s your fault If you can’t pay, die

With the news the Louvre fedora guy is just a theatre kid, I want a story about a snappily dressed teen in a wrong place right time detective story.

I know three children who would have died if they were born in 2000 rather than the late 2010s.

I hope people are noticing which governors are filling the SNAP gap, and which governors aren't.

one thing i find crazy-making is the idea that getting rid of the filibuster would make congress a purely majoritarian institution. bicameralism itself is counter-majoritarian! equal state representation is counter-majoritarian! the fact that senate elections are staggered is counter-majoritarian!

There's definitely a coalition of Trumpists, propagandized centrists, & Harry Potter adults who absolutely HATE trans people. If you're only encountering one of these groups in the wild, you're (maybe) okay, but all three? There's a reason trans women are unemployed at astronomical rates right now.

It’s almost like the supposed anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion movement has been a white supremacist project all along—just like we’ve been saying.

They've lost the guy that spent every waking moment for two years trying to kill Clinton healthcare.

“What was once a reliable, repeatable pillar of her life was ripped away from her, first because she felt like an outlier among her peers, and then..the powers that be took away her right to be on the team.” The government has “targeted the fundamental social pillars upholding trans lives”. so cruel

Last Saturday we were pepper sprayed & my car was towed, but w many others, spent today at Broadview ICE. It was cold& rained. I gave others whistle kits & trail mix, others gave me gloves & a rain poncho. We shared rapid response info/tips& made connections to help this city more. Never giving up 💚

Eight Minnesota counties have signed agreements with ICE minnesotareformer.com/2025/11/07/e... Every single county that signs such agreements should be automatically and immediately excluded from *all* state transportation funding, County Program Aid funding, and Community Corrections funding.

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

It's scary how normalized the Trump administration's extrajudicial killings in international waters have become. The latest, #17, was conducted Thursday, killing 3 people. At least 70 people have been murdered by the US Government thus far.

This is awful and I wish the Tribune headline did not say shots were fired, because that is what officers claim and not what video shows.

I legit think this about most of the Treasury. DOGE was for establishing clearinghouse of sensitive data on the pulblic and packaging it for surveillance first, necrocapital second, and all those cuts were for unethical "contracts" to funnel resources to friends of authoritarians.

Hi hello, your friendly neighborhood museumhead here with a PSA that if you live in NYC or have ANY opportunity to get to NYC before February, the Ruth Asawa exhibition at MoMA is the best thing I’ve seen all year.

🤨 we still not coming in so you're going to resort to psychological torture to the employees? Make it make sense

If the press were reporting events with the “objectivity” they seem to reserve for former colonies, every paper/channel would be talking about how the Republican Party has dissolved Congress in furtherance of the Project 2025 coup to dismantle the US constitutional system of government.

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview. “They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor losing all of his titles over just the possibility of the Epstein files coming out tells me all I need to know about just how bad the contents are, and why the Republicans are so desperate to never let it out.

I remember when I was in college my mom told me about an article she'd read where a group of millionaires and a group of middle-class people were asked the same set of extremely basic questions and all the millionaires failed. stuff like "how much does a stamp cost" or "where's your nearest library"

This frame is a joke. They’re abandoning philanthropy

Something to read while we wait to see if SCOTUS upholds Trump’s mission to starve people

One of the most striking things about this moment is that the most meaningful divides are not between liberalism and leftism, but between those who take fascism seriously as *the* threat, and those who don't. It explains the bordellos of strange bedfellows we're now seeing.

people making light of their post-covid infection brain damage makes me so sad. it doesn’t have to be this way. masking is *extremely* effective in helping prevent a myriad of airborn illnesses. you don’t *have^ to get covid again if you just take basic precautions. covid damage is cumulative.

consumer spending sentiment is at the lowest since both 2008 and 2020. did something bad happen in both those periods

Finally found the ICE video that I fully could not watch and it was the man having the seizure while they pulled a child from his arms. Countries are fake, borders are fake, nothing can justify this inhumanity. It’s all just for the abstract comfort of withering country clubbers and their pawns.

Beating prisoners for involuntary bodily functions is a hallmark of concentration camps, and Nazis swung for this. Keeping records is vital.

Amy Coney Barrett: "In truth, being a conservative woman in law school, particularly, takes a lot of courage and independence, and in many ways, shows more feminism than just falling into some predetermined vision of what a woman should be" @moiradonegan.bsky.social, I am going to become the Joker

I see James Watson has died. What did Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin's lab notes. Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

If you have a regional accent, please never try to get rid of it. Accents tell stories.
