Kamala was never leading during the 2020 primaries. We didnt get to have primaries in the next election, because Dems dragged their feet on convincing Biden to step down, despite his unpopularity and clear loss of ability. As the campaign wore on for her, she sounded more and more centrist.

Just got back from Victor Jones at the Amsterdam. What a great show. I'm going to be thinking about it for years.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Like clockwork.

Still funny to me that i grew up thinking things like "sentient robots SHOULD be able to vote" and now im like "i hope every ai data center burns to the ground "

i wish we had UBI and proper healthcare and that people on disability weren’t forced into poverty i wish disabled people could be safe and happy and taken care of and that there were social supports for all our needs and a cultural understanding of chronic illnesses

Calling states "red" and "blue" based on presidential results not only ignores the partisanship of other statewide votes but also ignores how lousy those descriptors are at the presidential level. www.ms.now/opinion/texa...

Fossil fuels were the future, once.

I did give it up, but it sucks. There is honestly no video app that Ive found that is close to it in terms of usability, let alone the huge scale of content. Ive been using YouTube shorts, but theyre kina awful, full of spam, and they keep showing me the same vid multiple times.

Let me get this straight: Jesse Singal is mad that a doctor is willing to prescribe medication to a patient without Jesse's approval?

I wish more people understood that trans people are concerned about the cost of trans healthcare bc we are likely to be POOR and because accessing healthcare in general is prohibitively expensive, not because doctors are making so much money on us.

Layoff protections should be given to employees as part of any acquisition. You shouldn’t be able to buy up companies, stripmine them, and jettison the staff that made those companies valuable. That’s SUSPECT behavior, and should be fucking treated as such.

Got it. I'm sorry for your loss. To clarify: You want a eulogy for your father that's 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲, sounds 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁, and captures the 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗺. I get it. He wasn't just your father — he was your Dad. Here a few options I came up with:

9. The message from Democratic voters is not subtle. Abandoning transgender people does not win you new supporters—but it may win you an uphill primary challenge you are likely to lose.

jesse singal suggesting that someone else has a professional stake in this is wild since it's the only story he's written in a decade

We’re long past a point to where layoffs deserve to be seen as a form of industrial sabotage. The damage done to gaming and many other industries by mass layoffs following mass acquisitions is irreparable. Ruined lives, squandered money, stripmined resources, businesses left fucking sabotaged.

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

i wind up tweeting this basically every time there's an article like this, but the fundamental thing to me: ask yourself whether you earnestly believe there's more social pressure to be trans, or more social pressure to be cis. it's actually a super easy one!

If Microsoft ends up being the ones to force me to use Linux I am never going to forgive them

Keeping ICE in existence and “reforming” it is an extremist position that does not enjoy the support of the people.

It’s time to let people who were born in 1947 have a chance.

This has been part of the trans-kids moral panic for years, gay adults going "If I grew up now, they'd convince me I'm trans." If your movement had real evidence, you wouldn't be pointing to alternative-universe hypotheticals! Child psychologists know the difference between gay kids and trans kids

My mom wasnt scared i was a trans guy, because she'd never heard of them. She did, however, police my appearance to make sure i didnt "look like a lesbian." Once i came out as trans, she backpedaled and told me "but there are all sorts of ways to be a woman!"

American politics is just this meme, but instead of admitting it sucks, they just decided to burn the field and salt the ground.

Kind of strange that in 1993, the president was someone who was born in 1946. And in 2026, the president is someone who was born in 1946.

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

far from "transing Our effeminate boys and tomboys," the history of trans medicine has mostly been one of gatekeeping transition from anyone who would be even slightly GNC in their target gender

would be cool if this was the average demeanor of a democratic senator while talking to gop flunkies instead of a gop senator on his way out the door

Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?” Me (indie dev in this economy): “Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

Even if you dont regularly mask, i think everyone should mask if they are in an enclosed space with someone else who is masking. They could be getting over a cold. They could be immocompromised. They could be aware that you can still catch Covid. I wish more ppl realized its just polite to do.

peggy flanagan’s campaign manager on twitter reporting that angie craig is down 13 points in the minnesota senate primary with 75% of voters saying that her vote for the laken riley act is disqualifying, which would certainly explain her suddenly apologizing for it just days after standing by it

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Public hearing tomorrow at Minneapolis city hall for an ordinance that would temporarily extend eviction notification from 30 to 60 days, giving renters an extra month to seek rental assistance before eviction proceedings could begin. This would revert to 30 days on July 31.

*Just in the LAST WEEK*: - Prisons are experimenting on trans prisoners to "cure" them - Kansas revoked every trans Kansan's driver's license - Scouts agreed to ban trans kids - Texas declared all health services stop helping trans kids - SCOTUS declared it legal to out trans kids to abusive parents

Basic income and universal healthcare for all. Forgive student loan debt. Take the boot off American necks.

I am old enough to remember when conservatives pretended to promote small government. I still believe we should trust the people trained to do their jobs (teachers, doctors, etc) the ability to do that instead of having a bunch of mostly old, mostly white, mostly men make decisions for us all

BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing new legislation to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half. A chunk of the money raised would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.

ICE has created an eviction crisis in MN. No family should have to choose between keeping a roof over their head and risking being kidnapped by ICE. We fought ICE to keep our neighbors here. Now we're going to fight to keep our neighbors in their homes. 9:30am tomorrow at City Hall (350 S 5th St).

the democrats' plans to respond to the republicans' chicanery, at all times, for the last several decades at least:

Truly an exceptional specimen

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

Minnesota would like a word.

Don’t feel comfortable giving money directly? Powderhorn is a South Minneapolis neighborhood that has been hit hard by ICE, and their rent fund has a $150k gap between the amount of need they have and the funds they have available. Rent is due today, please donate here to help them close that gap!

all republicans know is crash economy start war eat hot chip and lie

Tuesday in Chicago - Hands OFF - Solidarity With the Kansas Trans Community

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out. If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

I am so tired of my Reddit streak that i uninstalled the app. Will maybe reinstall in a week or so. I simply cannot allow myself to reach a 365 day streak. Too embarrassing.

rent is due tomorrow and again today 2/28 bench pressed are donating proceeds from sales of this “FUCK ICE” shirt online and in store to rent relief funds in minnesota!

i am begging the democrats to learn the fucking lesson here
