Somerset, Kentucky has been declared a mass casualty event after a violent tornado struck the area last night with insufficient warning. It is also in a National Weather Service coverage gap left by Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s cuts to the NWS. DOGE likely cost lives last night.

Hi. I'm Michael. I'm a DNC Member from California. I voted for @davidhogg.bsky.social for Vice Chair. I also sit on the DNC's Credentials Committee. You may have heard of us. šŸ§µšŸ‘‡

It takes blood sugar and lots of energy to shuffle your feet and go dancing with me tonight!

We need stronger social censure mechanisms against being miserably, incomprehensibly stupid in public.

Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

Austin voters overwhelmingly agreed - we don’t need to waste APD time or resources arresting folks for the victimless crime of marijuana possession. Ken Paxton wants to crack down on us anyways. This fight isn’t over.

I assure you that it is very much worth your time to see this in IMAX and juice those numbers even more. If you see this movie for the first time at home, I promise you there’ll be an exact scene where you realize you made a huge mistake not seeing it on the biggest screen you can.

If SINNERS is somehow not my number one movie of the year it’ll have to be because a truly generational 11/10 film surprise drops this year Because as it stands, SINNERS is competing on the scale of movie of **this decade**, let alone 2025

My job is very cool, now seated

This protest sign hits pretty damn hard, big props to this teacher

Remarkable things are happening in housing discourse.

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

I’ve gotten almost entirely disillusioned with Star Wars post Rise of Skywalker with the bright spots being much more rare than the dull ones, but the creativity shown off by artists and creators in Visions proves there’s still juice in that galaxy far, far away.

I hope y’all are ready for the new sequel!

I think this is a battle front that conservatives are really going to regret opening up. I feel that mega churches are much more closely entwined with the Republican identity than ivy league schools are with Democrats.

Last weekend, we showed up at the Capitol with a clear message to Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, & Elon Musk: Hands off our public schools. Hands off our wages. Hands off our future. Texans are demanding less scams, and more solutions. #HandsOff

This is a really cool item that was in the works for a long time. Stoked for this one tomorrow.

We’re getting completely hung out to dry by State Farm on roof damage. Anyone have any advice for claim disputes? Deductible: $4k Our inspection by a contractor SF reccomended: $24k estimate SF inspection: Under $4k estimate I expected a discrepancy but this is ridiculous.

A warlord rode into Austin today, he was warmly greeted as a friend and ally @nomads.bsky.social

A lot of people talking about ā€œbuying the dipā€ are about to learn about ā€œcatching the falling knifeā€

Looks like we’re gonna have to dig deep and bring back names like ā€œThe Tariff of Abominationsā€ since we are shooting right past Smoot-Hawley.

Have you been stuck in traffic with a longer commute lately? Austin is trying to save you time and money while also reducing traffic and emissions, but the Governor is forcing our state workers to return to office full time. Compare the plans - which do you think is best?

Watching a black man beat the record for longest filibuster previously set by a segregationist is truly special and historic. Sending so much love to @booker.senate.gov for standing and fighting for all of us!

On this Trans Day of Visibility, please remember that: 🩵 Trans Rights are Human Rights šŸ¤ You are not alone 🩷 You will always have a home here in District 9

Congratulations @kendallscudder.bsky.social on your election to serve as the next Chair of the Texas Democratic Party! I know you are going to bring the heat and hold Republicans’ feet to fire!

ā€œJust another day in paradiseā€

I just spoke with the Austin Monitor about HB 274, which would have been a State takeover of the City of Austin. Here’s what I had to say about that - and check out the full article below.

Standing room only tonight at @afscme1624.bsky.social! Over a dozen new members here for their first meeting, too.

me coming in guns-a-blazing, with absolute certainty and confidence that what I say next will eliminate any doubt about my competence
