If you’re anti fiction you’re anti empathy. You’re literally a sociopath.

Anyone else have a traumatic delivery and a baby who basically died and came back to life and then ten years later get absolutely destroyed by Miranda July’s ALL FOURS? #booksky 💙📚

Watch a major campaign being born.

As much as I love having “Governor Shitbag” saved in my contacts, I’m willing to let that go.

not interested in turning off my brain; not interested in how and why you turn off yours

"I got hot sauce in my bag," I sing along, knowing full well I literally have mayonnaise packets in my bag.

Hot take: I’d rather my kids be autistic than dead of an easily preventable disease.

I’M SHOCKED, SHOCKED

When you think of the core of American politics as a large collection of individuals who have enough social, political, and financial capital to speak up against despotism but don't wanna spend that capital because they're hoping someone else will, it all really starts to make sense.

Democratic leadership: you have the people’s mandate. Today showed that. We got your back. FIGHT.

Aime Wichtendahl in Iowa City: “I’m the first openly transgender woman elected to government and to the state legislature, and for those of you who don’t know me, my pronouns are she/her and my adjectives are freaking and awesome.”

Is there some kind of recession where all the rich fucks who did this to us go bankrupt and everyone else comes through unscathed, and if so, can we have that kind of recession please?

In the eighth year of a GOP trifecta, Iowa was the second worst state for real GOP growth.

1000%

I bought Twitter for $44,000,000,000 and sold it back to myself for $33,000,000,000. I have 43 kids and no friends. Everything I make explodes

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

FUCK. YES. PRITZKER. 😭❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Is it season 3 yet? #severance

FYI criticizing Israel is not antisemitic, but supporting Israel only because you’re waiting for the Rapture to happen so all the Jews burn in Hell is.

Fun fact: my dad survived pancreatic cancer. It was detected very early bc he was already getting regular scans… bc he previously had kidney cancer. For most ppl with pancreatic cancer, it’s not detected until too late Unfun fact: Iowa’s death cult/GOP leaders are trying to ban mRNA vaccines

Including things as simple and ubiquitous as making customers spend 5 min yelling HUMAN BEING at your phone system instead of paying more dedicated receptionists

Fuck AI

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

My favorite film genres: 6) meaningful looks and yearning (bonus points if lesbian) 5) I feel smart watching this 4) dadcore 3) the charming/quirky/majestic setting is one of the characters 2) banter, hijinx, more banter, plot twist, happy ending 1) woman was right all along

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

They need to get as loud and insistent screaming at Trump as they are texting us for donations.

So cisgender men will get to experience leaving the state for routine medical care too

Notably they already failed this test on immigration and it has gotten them nothing

Primary her. We need to make it impossible to hold office with a D next to your name if you’re a transphobe.

It should be an absolute principle of the Dem Party that NO group of people is expendable. Otherwise what the hell are we doing here? Fuck your tepid ass consultants telling you to go to gun shows and wave American flags. How about rehabilitating the brand by showing some fucking integrity.

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

Change can be a slow and frustrating process, but Iowa is worth the fight. If you are feeling hopeless, I would encourage you to get involved. There is a special election coming up and Nannette Griffin could really use your help. www.nannetteforiowa.com

I can’t be the only person who wants to join a polycule with Mark, Gemma, and their piles of books. #Severance

Zach Nunn #IA03 doesn't hold town halls, period. Randy Feenstra #IA04 has rarely if ever done so. Mariannette Miller-Meeks #IA01 and Ashley Hinson #IA02 occasionally hold telephone town halls, where their staff control who can be heard and who can ask a question.

When I feel complete shame and despair about what Iowa has become, it’s people like Aime Wichtendahl who bring me back to something closer to hope. May we all find it within ourselves to meet this moment with such bravery.

when all the kids are in my house at the same time

you know, the most meaningful difference between AOC and Schumer / Jeffries / Pelosi / etc. isn't that AOC is more progressive than the others, it's that AOC talks to voters like they're capable of understanding politics if provided with full and accurate information.

one thing that's worth pointing out about the current wave of constituent fury at Republican town halls: the reason you're primarily seeing those viral moments in ruby red districts is because every Republican whose district is even remotely competitive is actively hiding from their constituents

Please read about what the Iowa GOP is doing. Fast-tracking “discrimination omnibus” bill: legal discrimination in housing, employment, education, credit; legal def of “sex” that writes trans and intersex ppl out of existence; statewide bathroom ban; marker on changed birth certs. Fucking monsters.
