Also, like, helloooo if you are a Member of Congress and you want your name to go into the history books of whatever survives this moment, then go lead the Post-Trump Truth and Accountability trials. Better there than in some appendix list of capitulators.

Poorly designed *and* violates the research principle of autonomy. Well done!

I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well

THE CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT HAD TO TELL THE POLICE HE'S FUNDING HE WORKED ON THE CITY COUNCIL OF LOS ANGELES

Some personal news: I can unload my entire dishwasher in the time it takes Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” to play.

“The other trend is the increasing cost of housing, which is a growing problem for seniors and isn’t showing signs of abating.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/o...

Hmm….? www.bangordailynews.com/2026/02/23/p...

“When you think about it, we weren’t trying to make history or trying to rewrite history. We were responding to the problems of the particular time.” What a life! Rest in power.

It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.

is he gonna fire Noem "like a dog" too because she might take that as a murder threat

My initial objection to billionaires was based on the extreme income inequality that creates them, which is warping America, blunting human potential, & ruining lives. Now, my primary objection to billionaires is their outsize role in warping democracy. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-real-l...

If gerrymandering is when politicians pick their voters, is NIMBY-mandering when politicians pick not having more voters in the first place?

Consistently, in survey after survey, housing availability and affordability is THE number one issue facing Massachusetts voters. A ‘status quo’ approach to housing from any elected official, of any political party, should be considered malpractice today.

Tweeps, what is a non-alcoholic beverage for adults I can serve at room temp at my child’s birthday party this weekend? (Do people drink room temp LaCroix?)

It's the margin AND the turnout: Talarico nets 73k vote margin out of Travis in Early Vote. Crockett nets 17k out of Harris (Houston) 👀 Crockett nets 16k out of Tarrant (Fort Worth) Talarico carries Nueces (Corpus) but turnout low votehub.com/2026_tx_sen_...

Big night for those of us who can name 50+ Texas counties. (There are 254.)

Anyone who is STILL supporting Platner is both embarrassing themselves and making clear how little they value key constituencies in the Democratic Party.

It's Texas Primary Day, y'all. As someone who lived there for 10 years and organized for most of that, here's what I'm thinking about: 1. How much primary turnout will occur *today* vs. shifted to early voting? (Texas has limited mail voting.) Turnout is already high, how much higher will it go?

a true story and a little levity on an otherwise Bad News day

Did not expect to wake up and have to defend a former Tennessee women’s player today but here we are. Kara Lawson is (grumble) great, actually.

Happy Election Day to all who celebrate! Make good choices out there! 🗳️

The comments on this advice column are heart-breaking. Part of the issue stems from the lack of transit-oriented housing for seniors with eventual mobility issues: elevators, ramps. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/m...

Just as Republicans use policy tools to mint more Republicans, Dem cities can — and should — use the policy levers at their disposal to mint more Dems. How is this hard to grasp?

Big yikes that @podsaveamerica.crooked.com and @gallegoforarizona.com are backing/platforming Platner given the ✅ Nazi tattoo for decades ✅ "Blacks don't tip" post ✅ Rape victim-blaming ✅ Homophobic slurs ✅ Anti-semitic conspirator podcast appearance LAST MONTH ✅ Photographed w/ guy in "88" shirt

"In total, nearly 40,000 square feet of space has never been finished. That’s the equivalent of 60 one-bedroom apartments." Ok hear me out on this.... What if the unfinished space is converted INTO APARTMENTS? It's literally one block from the train station. Commuters!

Ever notice that the party who wants you to get measles is the same party who wants to take your health insurance away?

This is happening in Brookline too. Here, it takes months or years to up-zone land, but there’s no way to stop these types of greedy down-zonings.

Just stating the obvious here, but we have to build a government that doesn't starve and bomb the planet for kicks.

I was *already* excited to read this and then I got to "...local land-use planning." 😍

i love this because normies have no idea who bari weiss is or that ownership changed hands they just know cbs evening news sucks now

Fun fact: News coverage of said high turnout among Democrats will drive further high turnout! www.texastribune.org/2026/02/25/t...

Why Burhan for State Senate? #mapoli ✅ Has a track record of meaningful policy changes that address affordability ✅ Puts his progressive values into action Bonus points: ✅ Mom raised him while working at Dunkin'

So you’re saying the guy who created a website that fabricates entire college courses’ worth of assignment submissions didn’t…. do his own work properly to name it??

My letter to the editor was published in @brooklinenews.bsky.social! TL,DR: Let’s turn that surface parking lot into homes and tax revenue! brookline.news/re-developer...

Update: It was Play-doh AND a bead.

Me at work: Wow, I am really focused and getting stuff done today My kid's school: Hi he stuck a bead up his nose please come get him

can someone tell the NYT, its editors, masthead, etc. that actually it's bad to drive trans folks to suicide?

Since the beginning of the year I have relentlessly unsubscribed from marketing emails and political texts. It has largely worked to lessen the onslaught on my attention, but DANG there are some real Repeat Offenders who lists I just can't seem to stay unsubscribed from.

Brookline Man Loses Job

This is the challenge to pluralistic, multi-racial/ethnic/creed democracy. One solution: make sure working folks of all backgrounds can afford to not merely survive, but thrive.

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

Here’s an idea: Let’s let trans people keep their drivers licenses with whatever gender marker they want on them. Cis folks too! How you ID should be on your ID. Conversely, let’s take away licenses from people who run people over, because cars can be deadly weapons when used irresponsibly.

Gonna sit on my TX-Sen primary opinions but looking forward to providing some post-hoc analysis. Tempted to “pre-register” my takes somewhere! I guess I can email them to myself? I’ll say this though: Pretty sure the pen thief is gonna prevail for the GOP, even if it takes a runoff.

just spitballing but some of it might have something to do with 15 years of sociopathic behavior culminating in the enthusiastic embrace of violent fascism

Space Ghost, Coast to Coast!

what is this, Town Meeting?!

this is your legacy, dude. you built this.

Can he run for the u.s. senate now Asking as a person who managed to get a tattoo in her youth that is completely inoffensive
