Today was a lot. New entertainment is canceled and I'm just going to watch Orphan Black all the way through so I can pretend Tatiana Maslany is the only person who exists.

lemme just go pack for the nursing home now. 😩😭

it's great how much of our interaction with AI is just figuring out how to make it go away.

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner

In honor of Link, who was banned for the crime of speaking truth to power, I am continuing Fund Me Friday in his stead. The last two Fridays have been delayed due to life stuff, but today I am back on the ball. Post your mutual aid in this thread and I will retweet as long as I am able.

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza. The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.

this skeet almost makes the original claim worth knowing about. almost.

Glad you’re speaking on this today. It seems a lot of people think we at least have one piece of paper confirming we were adopted. Nope. Literally nothing.

BlueSky is a site that enables people with power who have done *real world harm* while silencing people without power who express frustration in the form of dark humor.

As always when it seems we end up with a day full of predator discourse, my thoughts are with victims and survivors everywhere. We all deserve better.

Do they...

*looks directly at camera*

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

one bright spot I'm so proud of my play cousin for the volunteer program she just started. she took in a lot of advice and was able to make some great choices to set things up for success.

there's a potentially huge thing happening with my work and I cannot take this one more thing with massive ramifications that I can't actually do anything about 😩

my friend's husband forgot her birthday. they have been married for 6 years and known each other for 10.

This is also why setting up a recurring donation is so valuable, if you can swing it. Knowing that they'll get even $5 consistently each month REALLY increases how much food they can provide.

I found a receipt (of course) and an unopened lip balm.

got my flu and covid shots yesterday. I don't like combining them but went for it for reasons. just need to figure out how to drink water while asleep.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

There are still a lot of hard times ahead, but remember this moment and what it means: We can win.

JUST IN: Democrats have swept the 3 supreme court elections in Pennsylvania. They beat back a concerted GOP effort to erase their majority; instead, they'll keep a 5-2 edge on this very important court.

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani. Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money. That is how we win.

has anyone heard from chuck schumer? how upset are the baileys tonight?

There are so many people who've had a hand in this historic moment, but one person I'm so grateful for is @lindseyboylan.bsky.social. Your courage and your conviction opened a door for so many people and so many futures, and this is one amazing reality you had such a vital role in making possible.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

What we know so far, 9:30pm —Dems flip VA-Gov & VA-LG. —BIG Dem gains in VA House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani up —Dems seem to flip 2 statewide offices in GA —JD Vance's half-brother loses in Cincy. —Dems sweep Orlando council —PA: Dem justices up big —Maine anti-mail vote measure down —Krasner wins

Now comes the even harder work. But for tonight, let's celebrate.

All the worst people in the suburbs keep swearing Philly hates Krasner but he keeps winning.

Never beating the allegations.

The country has spoken. Get ready to drink some soy milk and hire minorities.

POST THE BEST CRASHOUTS PLLLLEASE 🙏🙏🙏🥰

Two of the most significant politics editors in Teen Vogue’s history were working class trans people from Ohio and Philly, and their tireless, fearless work is a huge part of why so many people are mourning its demise now. @satansjacuzzi.bsky.social and @leximcmenamin.com you will always be famous

as a resident of a city with a trash mayor my natural inclination is certainly to hate from outside the club but I can't. not just because I think Mamdani is the best choice for NYC. and is scaring centrist dems. all the worse people hate him. I want to see them cry.

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney

honor dick cheney’s memory by shooting someone in the face and making them apologize for it

You cannot survive in times like this treating joy like a luxury you can’t afford. You will shatter. You will also make yourselves insufferable to be around and it’s impossible to build community that way.

migraines are getting very frequent but can't get an appointment with my doctor until February. how much of my brain can I scoop out and survive?

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

Bernie could just have said, I have more information now and I don't think this person should be a Senator. Folks aren't calling for the man to be imprisoned. They are saying he shouldn't be elevated to a position of power.

"purity tests" "circular firing squad" "the left eat their own" are such bullshit phrases. people disagree on politics! that's how it works. deal with it instead of whining about marginalized people correctly pointing out that certain "compromises" only strengthens fascism

I don't think folks have any conception of how radicalized a lot of moms are becoming as they go through shit like "will my babysitter get kidnapped" and "will my child be able to get the measles vaccine"

This movement can not be only mass joyful protests. But they are a super useful part. There are so many things we all have to be doing and if you're picking "complain that too many people did that thing" as your thing today, then... Well I hope it is giving you the energy we're getting from videos

Beat your Ring camera to death with a bat

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

what? the guy who went to work for blackwater? WHAT?

Why is it that the only hope for class politics in the US for so many people is white guys with racist shit in their past?
