Is wearing my noise cancelling headphones to Thanksgiving dinner too on the nose?

Ever notice that Republicans can’t even be happy when they win? They’re still out crying “election fraud” over a few races we managed to prevail on. It’s exhausting.

It’s important to pace yourselves tomorrow. I made this handy guide to help👇

I needed to see this, maybe you do too. Everyone needs a friend like this in their lives. An update on the Grandma who accidentally invited teen to Thanksgiving dinner celebrates 8 years of a beautiful friendship. “You’re not my grandma, but can I still get a plate tho?” 🧵

Literally...

If we want to do this, people who believe in democracy need to start gearing up to run for school boards across the country ASAP.

A future conversation... "Dad, how could people want things to be so bad?" "Well son, we used the internet mostly for porn and screaming our feelings. When it came time to look up things like "fascism" and "tariffs" I'm afraid it was a bridge too far for most."

Remember: never criticize or judge people who vote for this guy or they'll just vote harder for him next time

Call me names. I’ll block you. Give me shit that makes me think. I’ll respect you.

Bringing my pinned Tweet along with me as I migrate here because this still matters & because we cannot normalize what Trump intends to do to DOJ. Justice should never be a political tool for presidents & their pals.

(1) federal supremacy / supremacy clause we hardly knew ye (2) id bet that, once Trump takes office, these federal courts will all of a sudden rediscover that federal power, and executive power, over immigration is quite expansive!

"The 25% levy on all products from Canada proposed by Trump would likely raise the price of fuels in the U.S., Daan Struyven, the head of commodities research for Goldman Sachs, said during a roundtable interview,"

It’s been reported that Mika and Joe were "concerned” about facing “harassment from the incoming Trump Administration.” Which truly reveals the level of their cowardice—abandoning us and what we thought were their principles, in order to save themselves.

We need to deny Mike Johnson as many seats as possible to stop Republicans from enacting their harmful agenda. Help cure ballots and win the last uncalled races!!!

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below. Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump. The remaining 541 are on topic and add value. 👏👏👏👏👏

This does not reduce inflation or make us more secure or make housing more affordable it is just hate www.them.us/story/roger-...

MAGA doesn’t [can’t] read. Please change to a rage-bait headline, then break up the contents into repeatable soundbites and edgy memes for “virality.”

Some news: amid rapid growth and some over-enforcement of its community guidelines, Bluesky trust and safety chief @aaron.bsky.team tells me the company will quadruple the size of its content moderation team www.platformer.news/bluesky-grow...

According to a nationwide survey of grocery prices prepared by the American Farm Bureau Federation, the cost of this year's Thanksgiving meal is now at its lowest level since 2021.

About 90 percent of our avocados come from Mexico, so this is a war on tacos

Using the maps from his daily runs, Duncan McCabe took the Strava art trend to new heights by creating an animated stickman that has become an online sensation.

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.

And yet, here we are again

What a strange headline for a story that notes: 1. 2,169 ballots were rejected for no ID. 2. "The voter ID law disproportionately hindered Democrats." 3. "The evidence overwhelmingly shows" that fraud "is essentially nonexistent." 4. The state Supreme Court race was decided by only 625 votes.

“freewheeling” Traditional media continues to fail us. Thanks to @atrupar.com for shining a light on how outlets like The Washington Post are treating our democratic decline as entertainment.
