I'm not what I ought to be, and I'm not what I want to be. But I'm not yet what I'm going to be, and by the grace of God/Allah/Buddha/Jehovah I'm not what I was. Opinions all mine. No MAGA, no porn, no DMs. He/Him. Keep the faith.
13 years ago today, I went for a bike ride that almost killed me. I turned my head, tore my carotid, and suffered a stroke. I am insanely lucky to have recovered. And blessed to still be me. So today I ride again. Because I still can. #strokeawareness #family #everything
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
It’s only 8 AM and I’m already tired of takes blaming voters for going out and stating their preferences in a primary election. Getting mad at voters, hundreds of thousands of them, for voting for who they wanted and not who you think was “savvy” is foolish.
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

They were volunteers for "Freedom Summer." Don't know about the lynching of these heroic civil rights icons? Glad you asked.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

Jake Tapper called Max Miller’s release of a sensitive photo of his two-year-old daughter “shockingly reckless.” Miller defended it—then insisted he wasn’t defending it. Tapper’s four-word response ended the spin: “You just defended it!” #MaxMiller #JakeTapper #CNN

REPUBLICANS POKED THE BEAR They used gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. New data shows they helped drive higher Black voter turnout in parts of the South instead. 📌 Alabama saw one of the biggest increase in Black voter mobilization. That will matter in @dougjones.bsky.social gov race.
