Quite frankly, I'd say this should apply to Republicans too, but what do I know, I grew up in the Reagan years when the GOP still stood for something, even if I didn't agree with it.

1 in 4 kids aged 5-17 here in Texas. No child should have to live with this sword of Damocles over their head. How has our nation forgotten its origins so wholly and completely? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u...

800K Texans will go nearly a year w/o representation. 😡 Maybe someone should remind Abbott that historically this approach has not worked well in North America? Texas Governor Sets November Election to Fill Heavily Democratic House Seat www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

"We understand why the leaders of major institutions are nervous. Taking on the president of the United States requires courage. This is a moment for courage." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/o...

Watching Joffrey and Reek trying to bully Jon Snow was quite a thing.

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Hello Bluesky! I'm sure it will take me some time to learn the ropes over here and curate my feed to achieve maximum MedTwitter/cute animal ratios. But looking forward to a less toxic iteration of the world!
