Of course I oppose the trans care ban, just as I oppose the entire bill. I assume this question was shouted as I was walking between meetings. I had not seen the language but let me be clear: I support stripping out as much from the bill as Democrats can, including this ban.

If you've read that Atlantic story by Annie Lowrey about why ranked choice voting sucks, I'm telling you she's wrong. And I know this because I did something in 2017 Annie did not for this story - I talked to a mathemtician.

from decades of experience I can tell you unequivocally that anytime a Republican or Libertarian says they are "removing regulatory uncertainty that hinders innovation" you're about to get fucked

You know, I actually know exactly what it’s like to make the decision to end the life of someone with irreversible brain damage and that piece by Elizabeth Bruenig in The Atlantic is one of the most purely heartless things I think I’ve ever read.

This is one of the main reasons they wanted Trump to win in 2024. The bosses were desperate to get workers back into a situation where they are desperate and easy to exploit, and away from the tight Biden labor market, where low wage workers were getting double digit % raises. Promises kept!

This isn't all of the story, but a surprisingly big part of the "fear" of Mamdani isn't actually that he'll institute full communism, it's that people's friends-and-influence groups will be demoted from their positions of authority

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

Teaching is its own skill, separate from content knowledge. In fact, the more you know about a topic, the less well you’re likely to convey it to newbies unless you also learn and use basic pedagogical principles (activating prior knowledge, chunking, scaffolding, etc.).

Whoa. So this guy had a shootout with cops BEFORE he went into the second residence and he still managed to kill them AND escape. Even though they talked about cops "intuition" being the reason they went to the second victims home. Hm.

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

All snark aside about the terrible Atlantic piece in favor of the fascist parade or the general downplaying of #NoKings, if you're going to take action, it's helpful to know that MSM orgs rarely support acts of protest. As a rule, they dismiss protestors or paint them as violent thugs. Be prepared.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Wild that the Times effectively endorses Andrew Cuomo for mayor while implying that Bill de Blasio's mayorship was a disaster and thus a huge problem for Mamdani, when as I recall the main problem with de Blasio's mayorship was... Andrew Cuomo

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes Hope that helps

Shit is still terrifying right now but, personally, spending yesterday doing a lovely, heartwarming signing event at a well-attended and joyful Pride Fest and then learning that 5 million people showed up for protests while Trump's birthday parade was an embarrassment was PRETTY GOOD for my brain

One weird indignity of being a feminist in America is not just that a belief in women’s inferiority is part of the political mainstream, but that the violence of those who hold that belief is considered unremarkable.

I know this is controversial but I don't think we need to pay anybody to brutalize us. We could probably cut 100% of the budget for that.

Underneath all of those articles is a deep fury that Bluesky punishes instead of rewarding lazy and/or hostile engagement farming. Try to build a following here with trolling and slurs and you'll find yourself in a ghost town. To them that is simply intolerable.

All we need is for those numbers to sustain across a diversity of tactics for an extended amount of time-- strikes! boycotts! slowdowns! leaks! refusals! art shenanigans! more! -- and we will have this in the bag, folks. We. Can. Do. This.

Compare this poll from just before the weekend to the incredible, intense, energetic outpour of support, in yesterday's protests, for an alternative to the Republicans. "Sit with that."
