These kind of votes are born out of trans representation in government. Rep. Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes. It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.

This is McEnroe. He doesn’t have a mortgage, job, or any other form of responsibilities. Which explains why he sleeps so peacefully. 12/10

I know you’re going to tell me that I’m an idiot but I really am surprised that my former friends who became Musk fans aren’t waking up to reality right now.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Calls and text messages have flooded me in the last 72 hours from friends and colleagues in Sierra Leone and elsewhere: Are my meds going to be cut off? Am I going to die? I don't know what to tell them. I don't know what to tell anyone. Hope is my whole jam, but I feel very distant from it.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify. The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips. Good job, friends.

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

Any writer who thinks using generative AI for "transitions" and other things that "don't matter" has a fundamental misunderstanding of both the art and craft of writing.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Bought a new handheld and it lets you customize the boot logo. I didn’t know what to choose so I just picked a photo of the time I made my dad laugh so hard that he resigned himself to just sitting on a bench and shitting his pants.

I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job
