Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

Greg Abbott waiting 9 months after Rep. Sylvester Turner passed away to hold a special election is atrocious. November 4th?!?!??? What a scumbag.

Liar Greg Abbott says he has refused to set a special election to fill the seat of recently diseased Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner because he says Harris County doesn’t do their elections properly.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

I will blow the DJ who can downshift the poolside meth vibe to a bossa nova, some Stan Getz, a little reggae, or even Al Green or Barry White.

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to. #Resist

ODESZA x Severance. Apple.co/MTRT When Apple TV reached out to us to remix the Severance score last month we were so ecstatic to get to play with the themes and atmosphere of the show. 'Music To Refine To' is our new seamless 23-minute mix that repeats throughout an 8-hour visual/audio experience.

"School Choice" in Texas is a deeply cynical, tax dollar wasting piece of dogshit Please educate yourselves and pass the facts along on SB2:

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

we never should’ve given power to the nerds. the jocks shouldn’t have it either. we must usher in the age of the goths
