Considering a run for Congress against an entrenched 80yo incumbent who is running *again.* A moderate in a deep blue seat. I like pain.

HOW ARE YOU SO BAD AT THIS WHY ARE YOU USING THE LANGUAGE HE USED FOR A FAKE PROBLEM TO DESCRIBE THIS ACTUAL ONE CHRIST GOD RETIRE BITCH

if we are all going to be forced to relive 2016, they should at the very least let us see mad max fury road in theaters again

Incredible

Mayoral candidate @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in response to news that indicted Mayor Eric Adams met with Trump at Mar-A-Lago in an unannounced trip on Thursday: “No one for a moment believes that Eric Adams snuck off to Mar-a-Largo to advocate for the needs of any New Yorkers other than his own.”

The most aggravating thing to me about Democrats at this moment is that they spent the whole campaign talking about Donald Trump as an existential threat to democracy but then after the election decided that apparently everything is fine. It really did validate the GOP saying it was just for votes.

And yet Democrats don’t understand why they can’t beat them.

a lot of people don’t realize that mountain time zone is for every mountain in the world, it’s the same time on every mountain due to their distance from the earth’s core

I wrote a blog post every day about what it was like to leave an office job + go to beauty school at 34yo. My mom had terminal cancer + I didn’t want to go back to a desk after I lost her. That blog became the first draft of a memoir called Hair AmErica. Second draft starts now.

The feral urge to run for mayor of Seattle but not campaign or seek any endorsements.

Don’t forget to call your members of Congress when they do awesome things, too. Their staff welcome positive feedback, too. I promise.

This is such a good idea. If anyone in Seattle wants to get together to do something like this, please let me know. I wrap pretty well because my mom worked at a jeweler out of college and taught me fancy ways to wrap things.

This is such a great idea! Same for the woman who rents a minivan every election cycle to drive elderly folks to the polls. Share these ideas always!

She went from Bernie campaign staff to *embracing* genocide supporters Kim Schrier, Suzan DelBene, Maria Cantwell, et al. This is a super blue state. Instead of ensuring *good* Dems are elected, she protects the status quo. She’s a “new generation” who will do nothing diff than Boomers. Hard pass.

Crazy there’s no alternative to the term “maiden name”

Lots of sympathy being extended to Brian Thompson’s family because he was a husband and father which reminds single people if you’re killed, oh well. Cats move on.

My fly was down in a congressional elevator with Joe Kennedy and some other elected once.

City Councilmember Tammy Morales will leave the council in January. "There’s [an] assumption that I represent something that the previous council did, and so nothing I do is worth consideration." publicola.com/2024/12/04/c...

sarah's gonzo journalism during a coup is probably some of the best content this site has ever produced imho

Merry crisis.
