THIS IS MY CANDIDATE

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time. All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner." It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

I guarantee there is at least one other person who can run as a Dem in Maine who doesn't have any Nazi tattoos. Fucking guarantee.

They're not on BlueSky yet, so I can't tag them, but I just got the most lovely planter from Ahava that incorporated my mom's ashes into the glaze. I absolutely love having a bit of her in a container for a growing thing. It's a lovely and fitting memorial for her. ahavamemorials.com

We always save long skinny boxes for fire pit evenings.

Cancel SPOTIFY. They are running ICE ads. F them. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

OMG freaking @marthawells.com will be one of the Guests of Honor at next year's @multiversecon.bsky.social I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED

Being an equal fan of the Yankees and Mets is NOT A THING. It is literally not possible.

LOL.

“Columbus is a monster, actually” is half a millennium old, as new woke ideas go.

This is wonderful. I'm not holding my breath that this is actually the end of the war, but it's cause for hope.

ME TOO

Amphibians unite 🐸🐸 #WarRavagedPortland

This ad is absolutely beautiful and should be required watching for every Dem candidate and office holder. THIS is how you appeal to voters.

Anti-abortion/repro rights/LGBTQ+ activists have mostly quietly taken over the Planned Parenthood affiliate that provides care in Georgia and Alabama. To say this is horrifying is an understatement.

I love this so much

Literally LOLing

Mifepristone has made it possible for anyone who wants to reclaim their bodily autonomy on their own terms to safely terminate a pregnancy whenever and wherever they choose. @luxalptraum.com looks back at the medication's history and future.

JD Vance wants to use the 25th Amendment to become president. Stephen Miller wants to exploit Trump’s dementia to run the country himself. Call it the new checks and balances.

Whether it's Republicans flagrantly abusing Articles One and Two of the Constitution or Democrats being bad at messaging, both parties are pushing America to the brink.

Fuck yeah Chicago

Trump’s efforts to militarize ICE & send federalized Nat'l Guard troops onto American streets, firing government employees during the shutdown, it's all part of Project 2025, which he disavowed all knowledge of during the campaign because it was so unpopular. joycevance.substack.com/p/project-20...

genuinely impossible to overstate what the secret police are doing. It is state hooliganism. It is gangsterism as policy. It is the jouissance of the original klan nightriders that followed the civil war. they terrorize minority communities while intentionally paralyzing local governments.

Just posting this. Everyone knows why.

UNC's football season is going great!

Taking a nap because...OK, I just like taking naps, but also the Duke game is at MFing 10:30 PM ET

Just consume one more piece of bad news. A wafer-thin piece of bad news. Go ahead, what could go wrong. It's wafer-thin.

I thought, at first glance, surely this must be a fucking joke. Then again, look at who's running the USA. Qualifications have never meant less.

For a brief second, I thought of the scene in Blues Brothers, except this isn't the slightest bit fucking funny.

Damn. 🙁

Phew! I'm so glad that TikTok won't be used by Communist China to surveil Americans. Now it will be used by fascist techbros to surveil Americans. Much better!

Oh, OUCH. 🤣🤣🤣 (Nothing but love for Atlanta's own, but OMG 10 AM THIS IS HILARIOUS)

So nice to have a president who really cares about ordinary Americans

Hadn't really thought about it. And yet he's out there advocating for Dems to give yet more ground on repro rights. We don't need anti-choice Dems, we already have Republicans for that, Ezra. 🙄🖕🖕

I just texted my daughters "anybody up?" and one of them came out to get me some more water, because cat

Baby, check this out, I've got something to say Man, it's so loud in here

the switch from “I am online because my brain is broken” to “my brain is broken because I am online” explains a lot about the current state of the internet and society at large, none of it complimentary

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Two of my cats need gabapentin before vet visits--one gets super spicy (despite being an absolute lump at home) and the other gets really stressed. The third? Give him a Churu and you could damn near amputate a limb and he wouldn't notice.

My favorite magnet from my trip to CA last week.

The Belichick era is going great so far! 😆

companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box

The defining lesson of this first year of Trump authoritarianism is that kowtowing & capitulating yields zero permanent benefit and only emboldens the admin to come after you more. This critical lesson was first documented in the landmark political science treatise “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.”

I love this

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.
