I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi

that's like saying "music as practiced in its best form is if you don't like how it sounds, you yell as loudly as possible during the performance to make it sound the way you want"

hashtag relationship goals, frankly ✨

Yeah except your colleagues are NOT fucking fighting, they're capitulating. We can't fight when our front line unilaterally disarms and just fucks off to brunch instead.

Yup, pretty much sums it up

Your new motto should be: if it’s fine for disabled people, it’s fine for me.

About 19.3 seconds after Trump signs the CR we’ll start getting DSCC texts and emails saying, “People are losing health insurance! Can you rush $10 before midnight to show Trump we won’t stand for it????????!!!!!!” I’m not surprised, but I still feel physical ill over the betrayal. They’re cowards

Went to repost this and then depressingly saw it was from 8 months ago. This is still true, and I am now convinced it will remain true until there are successful primary challenges nationwide to the "roll over and play dead" Dems.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

What is the point of a political party that caves on its own demands right when it’s winning handily

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Caving now will teach Trump and Republicans that they can win any fight simply by threatening to cause terrible harm to regular people. no possible way that could have future adverse consequences

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

I just called @schumer.senate.gov and left a message. Can you? 202-224-6542

However bad you think Schumer is, he is worse prospect.org/2025/11/08/w...

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

ableism and eugenics are rampant in immigration policies globally. New Zealand and Canada, off the top of my head, state they'll deny entry to certain immigrants based on their "excessive demand" on public health services

When you become disabled there’s a few things you notice right away: Ableism is everywhere. People will abandon you. Even those you were certain would stick by you. Just because something is illegal or against human rights code doesn’t mean it’s not happening ALL the time

That’s really the crux of it. Disability is a minority group you can join anytime. Most people will experience disability in their lifetime Yet discriminating against us is not only common it’s socially acceptable.

Only if democrats stop being so goddamned afraid of their own fucking shadows and fire all the consultants

The sweetest sound I ever did hear

All the most powerful democrats and republicans either explicitly or tacitly endorsed the same candidate for NYC mayor. that should be a path to victory but instead cuomo was easily defeated, will this prompt any soul searching ha ha ha of course not

Zohran Mamdani was the first mayoral candidate and Democratic official to stand up to the Trump administration over the arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil, which he saw as a violation of the First Amendment.

NEW YORK CITY IS NOT FOR SALE TO BILLIONAIRES TODAY

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.

Zohran Mamdani campaigned a lot and appears not to hate the voters whose support he's seeking. Here's what other Democrats can learn from his unorthodox strategy.

I think I’m radicalized. And then every day radicalizes me just a little more

Early voting fit. As @davekronig.bsky.social says, masking is hot. Join the hot girlies and wear a mask while you show up for your community. XOXO

I can’t believe I get to know and love and be loved by this incredible human. And our paths would never have crossed had it not been for Covid (and other tragic misfortunes)! Everything is terrible but there is still so much good in this world. I hope it finds you when you look for it. ❤️

This is another semi-regular reminder that hot people mask (I mean, look at @malyndae.bsky.social 😍) because masking is love and resistance and anti-fascist. Masking is community care, and community care is radical in this age. Be hot. Wear a mask.

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

We have to remember that music, ideally, can be something we do for ourselves as a way to reclaim our culture – not exclusively something we have to buy.

I try to be professional on this platform but there are times, like now, when it hits me hard on a visceral level that we are in the midst of a catastrophic global public health crisis and it seems, as a species, we've somehow decided that ignoring it is the best plan we've got.

Caligula's unorthodox style raises eyebrows among some liberal Romans. -New York Times, 39 AD

It’s easy to say “this is not how laws work” and it’s definitely not, but laws also depend on courts willing to uphold them so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you don't believe that having a Nazi tattoo is disqualifying from being the Democratic nominee for a seat in the U.S. Senate, do you actually possess any core beliefs or principles? I simply cannot wrap my head around how this is a hard call.

BREAKING: Over a sharp dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Kagan & Jackson, the Supreme Court will not stop Alabama from killing Anthony Boyd tonight. Sotomayor tells the reader to count to four minutes on their phone. "Now imagine for that entire time, you are suffocating."

Aww solidarity between the Trump-beholden crooks. You love to see it 🥰

i mean the metaphor is a little too on the fucking nose

Why are we even having this conversation at all. This entire conversation should just be “fuck this guy” and then we all go on with our lives confident in the fact that we kept another Nazi out of office.

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

the thing about this administration is that while it is true that they are doing immense and immeasurable harm, it is also true they are also a bunch of fucking bozos. the fascists are not sending their best. they are beatable.

“Don’t expect the world to take care of you” what fascists and capitalists want you to think. If you don’t believe you owe care to others in your community, you don’t have a community, and that’s where fascism and overconsumption thrive by filling the void. Community care is radical and subversive

You heard him, my fellow disabled and high risk folk, just avoid going in public forever. Sheesh. Stop asking for things like access to society or not being killed by your neighbors.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

I just think if you consider yourself a progressive or leftist and you're not wearing a respirator in public to make spaces safer for disabled people, especially as vaccines are less available and the last remnants of our public health system are being burned to the ground, you're doing it wrong

I am never ever fucking EVER getting over these fuckers just driving around snatching our neighbors off the street.
