Mmmm did I make a mistake taking on this conference I’m paying for myself? Fun times

So how do we get ranked choice voting in NJ

Loving the love for Brad Lander. It’s updated me a bit on RCV. RCV could create more Brad Landers, more coalition builders. A counterweight to the extremely individualistic incentives of executive and single member district legislative elections

"We have to pull back on palestine support" "we have to pull back on trans rights" "Dems should be more centrist" EAT HOT ASPHALT YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!!

it turns out that embracing a multi-racial, multi-faith democracy is the best path towards peace in this chaotic world.

When does the campaign for Brad to primary Schumer begin?

HA HA HA EAT SHIT MOTHERFUCKER GO HOME, NOBODY LIKES YOU

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

lmao eat shit nyt

the detail about the dog lying in state beside them has unexpectedly fucked me up

For a lot of reasons, Substack should not be the go-to place for those seeking to build a newsletter audience. I hear good things about buttondown, I am on ghost myself. But re Substack’s problems & dangers, this analysis is pretty spot on IMO

Please do the funniest thing possible

david hogg off the top rope on the other site

once again, public libraries as key infrastructure. I really really really want leftists and progressives to take public libraries more seriously as institutions. Part of that means you have to get involved in actual GOVERNANCE.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Shouldve stocked up on my hydroxyzine when I found out about Iran

Gen Z/Gen Alpha (and those who maybe missed it the first time): I feel like now is a good time to re-up shoe throwing guy, aka Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi: Just. Things you should know.

Democrats are racking their brains trying to find the "Joe Rogan of the left" while doing everything they can to defeat people like Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who actually possess the skills they're so desperately looking for.

spreading the rumor that zohran will subsidize matcha lattes with socialism so that brainless influencers will vote

Infinite love and support to the people of Iran and Palestine and anywhere else on earth unfortunate enough to be caught in the stupid, bloodthirsty gaze of America and Israel

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

Three months too long but glad he’s out

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck. Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special. "She probably doesn't mean me" I do.

the world is just better with trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer people in it full stop

In libraries, we call this vocational awe. The idea that if you are invested in your calling, you should accept low wages/inhumane conditions is a nasty little trick of capitalism. I’m an author, I’m hungry, I care deeply about my work, AND I deserve to be paid for it.

If you need to give yourself a break from doomscrolling today, might I suggest making this small batch focaccia? It uses 1 cup of flour and bakes in a loaf pan. thepracticalkitchen.com/mini-loaf-pa...

"In sadness, I dissent."

I have to find that last packet of LGBTQ stickers I'm sure I have at home to hand out at the library.

I'm so sorry to every trans kid (and trans adult) out there having to endure this. You don't deserve it. You belong. Also? You're stronger than all these withered-ass motherfuckers. Live to see them die.

I'm gonna be honest, a lot of my mental health today rests on whether the farm stand still has fresh strawberries.

I'd like to thank the Democratic Party for today's decision. Without their feckless, cowardly refusal to stick up for trans people without question or hesitation even in words, they played a vital role in wielding the power of the state to harm my child specifically. I'll never forget it, gang!

Don’t lose hope, here’s Lego Pride Parade in Hobbiton

I know we all know this but it’s always so important to remember that transphobes who claim to fight for women’s equality generally proceed from the belief that women are inferior to men across the board they wouldn’t treat trans women like they had cheat codes if they respected cis women’s skills!

The decision is bullshit, and trans rights are human rights, in case my position was not previously clear.

This is a good thread on a group of obvious scammers that are — somehow — insanely popular among people who (correctly!) regarded QAnon with contempt

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

Kathy fuckin Hochul talking like this they are going to drag Dem politicians kicking and screaming into actual resistance out of self-preservation if nothing else

the image of a Jewish man locking himself to an immigrant, his fellow neighbor and a stranger, to keep him from being kidnapped by the American gestapo is making me weep. how could he have done differently when we know what we know?! how can any of us
