My white trans siblings owe me BIG TIME for emotional damages and suffering, I swear

"under Governor Mills leadership, we have worked together to pass more than 60 new pro-worker laws. Thanks to Governor Mills’ support" maineaflcio.org/news/maine-a...

Don't believe everything you read - a lot of smears against Mills are literal lies/lies by omission (most of her vetoes are technical because the legislature can't do their fucking jobs & pass a bill properly). Mills supported & enacted more pro-labor bills than the past 50 years combined in Maine.

this is a fun lie since you can find literally dozens of posts of Mills meeting voters and this the first post in MONTHS of Platner actually touching voters, but also had to show how MAN! he is before he did the girlly talking to voters I guess.

horsford.house.gov/media/press-... People keep asking about our tariff refund.

I will always fight for reproductive freedom.

On this rn

grow up. lock in. get a grip.

I gotta do this one day youtu.be/IkBuKiQW4ho?...

I’m a tyrant because I believe people who talk for a living should know how to communicate the ideas in their head into speech we can hear without constantly having to make 2nd and 3rd “clarifications”…

And no small part of this is UK breadtubers

one thing i'm seeing is that american liberals pretty easily grasp that the logic of 'vote blue no matter who' just doesn't apply to uk labour but uk progressives *really* struggle to get that the reasons they've turned on labour don't apply to the us dems

quickly approaching “you absolutely will not be able to go stealth/detransition anymore” levels of trans which might make job searching difficult…

My opponent helped lead the charge to double health care premiums for North Carolinians, while he personally profited. Washington needs leaders who put people’s interests ahead of their own. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/article315423012.html

Cottontail painting from 2023!

Ugh…Oh boy

Today started out very cold and cloudy, but the sun came out and it warmed a bit this afternoon. We went for a nice hike in the woods 😊 #Spike #Monday #bullterrier #Dogsofbluesky

Maybe people shouldn’t listen to delusional freaks

Kreshnik (and myself) got charged by a Canada goose who appeared from the shadows to protect its nesting mate (who was also unnoticed by us). Kreshnik screamed and hollered the entire time because he’s Sensitive (TM). He’s okay, but I worry he’ll be scared of geese now. Poor guy!

We ARE a social species, even those of us who are neurodivergent. We still NEED that interaction between us.

like I’m glad there were people who had the time of their lives or finally got to take a break or whatever but omg stop acting like that was a universal experience 🙃

the pandemic was some of the worst times of my life and I cannot relate to anyone who raised a sourdough starter or caught up on Netflix bc I was working 80+ hours now that there was no pesky “going home” and everything was an existential threat and I didn’t see a fellow human for years basically.

SO happy for everyone who spent like 2-12 months in the house and had some major self discovery, realized working from home was the shit, or who just got to not interact with people. I had an essential job so had to deal with people stuck at home looking for excuses to be indoors publicly.

All conspiratorial nonsense must not be allowed to live. Be the killjoy you need to be. The people you know are already stupid enough without coming to you with yet ANOTHER youtube/tiktok conspiracy they watched and swear by. Irony and elevating nonsense will be the death of you.

And all conspiracy theories have one final (((boss)))

It does not matter if you are engaging in conspiratorial thinking for satire and comedy purposes. You are laying the tracks for conspiratorial thinking and your brain will outsmart you.

Crazy how Jazz music went from, ahem, “neggermusik” that’d make white women wanna race mix and smoke weed to a kind of shorthand for middle aged, boring white guys with boring hobbies in a few decades.

“The Onion-“ shut up right there and do not speak anymore to me, thanks!

I walk into a rough classroom of rural whites. They pay no attention until I turn my chair around backward and sit down. I reveal my mandolin and begin playing. “Go ahead,” I say “bluegrass your troubles at me.” It’s working. I am reaching them.

It doesn't matter how many ass backwards racists and sexists they shove to the front, their fathers will not respect them or vote Democrat. They need to deal with their daddy issues instead of working out their anxieties through electoral politics.

can we retired that stupid ass “no one made a song called fuck the fire department” ass sentiment that firefighters MUST be inherently good. Especially because firefighters and cops both engage in a ton of reactionary chud shit? Together!

16 years ago, Republicans gerrymandered Virginia, taking 8 out of 11 seats in the House of Representatives. Tomorrow, Virginia voters will have the chance to combat Trump's gerrymandering efforts by voting YES on the referendum.

Why bother thinking critically about how we arrived at the political moment of the present when you can just repeat the same tired concern trolling about pop culture that every other far sniffing halfwit has done over the past 100+ years and then pat yourself on the back about how serious you are.

“Why won’t Democrats do to Trump what Republicans did to Obama?” “Win back control of Congress and numerous state level elections then use the power that comes with those offices? Great idea. Would you care to volunteer or donate to help us do that!” “No. Because Dems don’t ever do anything.”

Even better, I’m gonna go into right wing pro gun spaces and say “if you go far enough left you get your guns back.“ That’ll certainly turn the insane Turner Diaries reading gun guys into good comrades.

theory meets praxis

yeah, the real difference is that if you wanted someone to whine at you for not liking the same pulp they did in 1986 you had to hang out at a comic book shop, and you weren’t constantly exposed to the ambient drama of the Goonies fandom or whatever

Also, just lol at the idea that 1) superheroes, 2) videos games, or 3) Star Wars are responsible for a "politics of infantile regression" when all three of those mass media forms have been around—and popular!—for literal decades and the political shift we're looking at is like 10-15 years old.

With all due respect, wearing my own culture studies hat I'd say this is overly nostalgic and ignores how much silly, dumbass culture of the past has just been left in the dust because it wasn't worth remembering to anyone who wasn't a specialist

Democrats are the ONLY party working to lower your health care costs, expand access to health care, & eliminate disparities in our system. That’s why I recently reintroduced the Momnibus— comprehensive legislation to end preventable maternal death & save moms’ lives.

Food prices are UP because of Donald Trump and Republicans. Vegetable prices have increased 48%. Americans' are being SQUEEZED at the checkout line.

“I’m sure he was more amenable until criticisms about him campaigning with Piker, IE, just berating him for being Muslim and campaigning with Muslims” I LOVE that identity politics is only relevant for you people when you can use them the way chuds accuse us all of doing. No, it’s cuz HP is poison.

I hate motherfuckers who LIE.

Senator Mark Warner's daughter, Madison, has passed away after battling health issues... A few lines down in the comments... "Think about all the Palestinian children you helped murder." And that is how you lose support for your causes.

I find it disheartening how I'll occasionally see people in YouTube comment sections go "Zoomer Historian is a pretty good history Youtuber" while he publicly declares that mixed raced people don't belong anywhere.

Still genuinely shocking to me that progressives turned on Harris, a black woman whose record was very demonstrably progressive, in no small part for the offense of her courting center-right voters and welcoming the support of disenchanted Republicans.

If you’re an organizer who affirms feelings over facts you should just fucking stay home & watch TV instead of contributing to the problem

It’s been a joy visiting small businesses across the state — talking about their successes and the challenges some still face. In the Senate, I’ll fight for policies to help them grow and thrive, just as I have as your Governor.

AI footage in the quote post. However it's a real fact, with real footage available (See my link below). Now people who believed it have a false image of how octopus act, and people who recognise it as AI question a real observed scientific fact. Utter bullshit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN9B...
