The man with the plan and the pocket comb. Joe Biden was a good President who did good things, and Kamala Harris would’ve been even better. Here: politics, baseball, Tolkien memes. Sometimes in that order. @b-list.org for the tech side of me. he/him

Sure glad coconut lady didn't girlboss slay queen us into this.

Between Musk and RFK there are going to be millions dead around the world by 2029 than there would have been had Trump not been elected, many of them children.

the media chose to be backslappy with this guy rather than give scandal level coverage to him being responsible for Samoa running out of child sized coffins because he's from the same social strata that they either are or are trying to climb into

the reason there’s a “Democrats obviously hate the candidate they just nominated” discourse is that some people use “Democrats” as a slur

Imagine if Ben Collins actually helped people by informing them instead of trying to fill their heads with horseshit at every step. A better society is possible (though not immediately) if people like him stop taking life advice from the “getting online cred is more important than facts” toilet.

The body count from this administration will be in the millions

I oppose Emil Bove’s nomination to a lifetime position on the Court of Appeals.

The base of the Democratic Party, the engine that drives it, the most reliable bloc of voters on whom we depend, is Black Women. I’m sick of hearing that “the base” of the Party is people who hold their vote hostage unless they get their way.

Got it, everyone? Knock off the bullshit and get focused on what’s about to be voted away.

Underrated element of YIMBY success is that when people move in our direction we congratulate and thank them instead of huffing about how we were there first.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

I've had 19 pieces of legislation signed into law since I came to Congress in 2019—delivering results on health care, veterans' rights, maternal health, and more. I’ll always work to our uplift families, protect our health, and strengthen our communities.

One Statue to rule them all One Statue to find them One Statue to bring them all And in the diversity bind them

Governor Weathervane notices shift in wind (this is good actually)

This is REALLY bad--and an utterly predictable consequence of military action. Inspectors can't now verify Iran's several bombs worth of highly enriched uranium. This is a MUCH bigger risk than whether the damage done to Fordow meets expectations.

Oh look. One of the people whining bc Dems have spent months trying, w/o success, to call attention to how the Big Ugly cut healthcare, demanding that Dems alert the world that the Big Ugly cuts healthcare.

Demanding to be inspired to vote is like seeing someone getting assaulted on the street and when they ask you for help you ask them how much money they have on them. Except in this case, it's 200M people being assaulted because they didn't bribe you.

Trump administration releases MS-13 leaders as part of deal with El Salvador's Bukele www.piratewireservices.com/p/trump-admi...

Polls don’t vote. Marches don’t vote. Protests don’t vote. Thinking caring Americans vote for harm reduction and a better world for their communities, families and themselves. In that order. In every election, for every office. Anything less is total bullshit.

Bullshit

I was 5 years old when Franklin was introduced and Southern white people were freaking out about an integrated COMIC strip. But people my same age make regular claims of “this isn’t the America I know”. It’s not the America you had to navigate. There’s a difference.

The reality however, is, poor white people will choose to stay poor white people as long as there are POORER Black and other POC. If you don't understand that, you don't understand America. People keep looking beyond what's been right in front of them forever.

Remember “Hillary the Hawk, Trump the Dove”?

here’s the thing that a lot of people fuck up; i don’t like spanberger’s willingness to piss into the tent, but she fucking hates republicans and can win virginia and will be a million miles better than any republican.

Look, Republicans are trying all sorts of tricks to pretend their billionaire tax giveaway doesn't blow up the deficit. The fact is, their bill would add $4.2T to the deficit over 10 years—even AFTER the cuts they made to kick 16M off their health care. This bill is a disaster.

Now they're writing fan fiction about Johnson.

With a seemingly clear result, it is now time to move on.

I just wanna be crystal clear because I think a lot of people are misunderstanding. The impeachment vote today had nothing to do with yes impeach or no don’t impeach. It was: Yes we table this and discuss it later or No we don’t table this and we discuss it now. 1/2

Brad Lander was extraordinary in his defense of immigrants. Politicians have their own motivations, of course, but he did the right thing, when so many did not.
