It would be utterly absurd for Democrat leaders to cave now. They cannot spend all this time talking about how unpredictable and unprecedented the GOP and Trump Admin are behaving to then cave for a promise from them.

my main takeaway

big night for the girlies 🥰

The rapture better not stop me from seeing Doechii next weekend

Today, there is an old man out there yelling about how Tylenol gave his grandkid autism while an extensive model train collection sits in his basement.

Jubilee is why that fascist kid is able to fundraise $20k+ and they’re wholly responsible for platforming and normalizing fascism and have been for awhile

I posted on Tik Tok that 💩ing on victims of natural disasters because they live in “Republican” states makes you just like the alt-right MAGA people you claim to hate and man it made some white ladies mad 🥴

What we’re seeing in Texas is what we saw in West Virginia is what we saw in Missouri is what we saw Tennessee is what we saw in North Carolina…. This is going to keep happening and it’s going to get worse, especially if we continue to ignore climate change.

Thank you to everyone who voted for this resolution. Standing against genocide is always the right choice ❤️ www.wfae.org/politics/202...

My English professor from college and I still follow each other of Instagram and she just liked my story of a post that says “if you don’t have anything gay to say don’t say anything at all” and I just love that icon of a woman 🥰

woke up remembering zohran won the democratic primary for nyc mayor like scrooge on christmas morning. “you there! what day is it?” “why, it’s the day after the primary election.” “who won?” “zohran, of course.” “so it DID happen!” *clasps hands joyfully* “fetch me a ham!”

(it’s almost like having a platform that ACTUALLY speaks to the majority of voters is a successful campaign strategy)

If you’re getting most of your politics and public policy takes from straight white men then I think you should take this moment in history to seriously reevaluate

Noteworthy, I think, that the Democratic establishment are putting much more effort into stopping Mamdani than stopping Trump

President Trump & Congressional leaders want to take away health insurance and food assistance from millions of NCians, including lawfully residing immigrants. We believe everyone should receive the services they need to thrive, regardless of birthplace. ncbudget.org/congres...

If it is the official position of DHS that the Dodger Stadium crew wasn't them, then MAYBE they might want to urgently figure out who the imposters were and have a policy where ICE shows consistent name badges, uniforms and ID

Durham school board member Emily Chávez was among the protesters who urged Gov. Josh Stein to veto NC bills to expand ICE cooperation. Chávez said the ‘hateful & unnecessary’ bills would only ‘stoke fear and anxiety.’ (Via Avi Bajpal) www.newsobserver.com/news/politic... #nced #ncpol #ncga

absolutely wild to see some self-proclaimed progressives talk crap about Mamdani as if he isn’t CLEARLY the best candidate in the race

It’s genuinely wild to watch NC republicans freak out about a photo posted by a Democrat legislator when they doubled down their endorsement of a candidate who, with her OWN WORDS, called for the public execution of multiple elected leaders including President Obama. Miss me with your faux outrage!

Well the shooter was a registered republican and had abortion providers listed as some of his other targets so maybe just stfu Tricia #ncpol

You know your relative has fallen off the Christian nationalism cliff when they start arguing that Jesus would support violent mass deportations 🥴

Seeing takes like this from leaders who are supposed to be our “most left” is wildly disappointing. While MLK Jr’s non-violent protests played an important role in the Civil Rights Movement, “violent” actions by other Black liberation movements were (at least) equally as important.

When state lawmakers expanded vouchers, Wake County private schools got a boost. Meanwhile, as Liz Schlemmer reports, Wake County Schools has a budget hole the same size as the tax funds those private schools received. www.wunc.org/education/20...

Have we considered the strategy of just unleashing middle schoolers on the NC legislature?

I used to be so much more active on here (and previously on Twitter) but I’ve fallen out of the habit and now just use this for my occasional random thoughts 😂 Tik Tok is where all of my political discussions and takes live now bc I don’t want to retype here what I said there 💀

we need a massive re-education campaign for the zipper merge

A win is a win

I can’t stand a cis-het white man centrist who spends more time crapping on progressive/leftist ideology than conservative ideology

Why do I feel like we’re about to get the worst Pope of all time

Embarrassing to lose one election that many times 😂 #ncpol

Have I ever mentioned how annoying I find our city council? In what world is punishing poor people the answer to high traffic volume?? #ralpol abc11.com/post/capital...

There’s something so triggering about watching the way Ethan Klein behaved in that discussion. DARVO on full display.

That’s some terribly bad history — y’know, in addition to the racism.

Listen to NCGOP legislator, John Blust, say (during debate on an anti-DEI bill) that slavery was actually not that bad because it built America..? They’re really just screaming the quiet part out loud now. #ncpol

Happy #RedforEd Wednesday, y’all! What are you doing to support your local public schools this week? Need some ideas? Check out the thread below! ⬇️ #nced #ncpol

North Carolina has fallen to 43rd in the country for teacher salaries according to a report from @neatoday.bsky.social. Our teachers deserve better. How can we expect to attract the highly qualified teachers our students deserve if we can’t offer them the pay they’re worth? #nced

Liking small artists is the best. Small venues where there isn’t a bad spot, tickets for less than $50, not having to use Ticketmaster… ELITE

White people have no culture? Um, then what do you call billboards advertising churches?

omw to Asheville to see gay people play country music 🥰

Finding out why a bunch of people who worked in one building all got cancer is just too woke now guys 🤷🏻‍♀️ www.wral.com/news/investi...

Today’s breaking point might be finding out my mom thinks “DOGE” is doing a good job 🥲

So much satisfaction is calling Senator Tillis’s office and asking if he regrets his vote 😂

My first words in the office today were: “Good morning! JD Vance killed the Pope!”

*most* importantly, it’s Jordan’s birthday today 🥰

I’m seeing Noah Kahan, Lucy Dacus, Griff, Kesha, and Doechii all in one weekend ‼️ My brain will spend the next 5 months attempting to process that information

Begging democrats to meet the urgency of the moment!!!!!!!!

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

I did a presentation in grad school about how AOC is a remarkable embodiment of the principles of transformational leadership. Love to watch her continue to prove that true 😍
