Can you memory hole something that's still happening?

Dan Vock@danvock.bsky.social · 18h ago

Yesterday, Illinois Gov. Pritzker, while IN WASHINGTON, which STILL HAS OUT-OF-STATE NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS ROAMING OUR STREETS, said, "*Nobody* had dealt with this problem before. I mean, yes, they were in Los Angeles first, as you recall, very briefly..." The D.C. occupation has been memory holed

As your constituent, @duckworth.senate.gov , thank you! This is the way! If Schumer's not on board with this 100%, then he's not fit to be the majority leader.

Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.gov · 18h ago

Let's do it. Let's dare him to veto: 
— Ending the war — Canceling $1T in Medicaid cuts — Restoring ACA Tax Credits — Raising the minimum wage — Terminating tariffs and issuing refunds to consumers — Forcing data centers to pay their own way — Banning congressional and presidential stock trading

(i do not fuck with “he’s an illegal immigrant and we should deport the bad ones” shit. borders are fucking ridiculous; you also cannot bring the power of ICE back to gondor and use it for good. you will be blocked.)

1st grade holiday play, I'm elf #3. My fellow elves stopped "working" on their toys during the parts where we were supposed to sing. Goddamn casuals. SOME of us have artistic INTEGRITY, took our director's notes seriously, and continued to work on our toys like the Xmas Wolf would eat us for real.

please delight me with your most on-brand story from your childhood mine is that I quit Cubs after two weeks because it clashed with Coronation Street

We do not want "back to normal," we want Better Than You Ever Dreamed.

Hope everyone remembers the Mamdani Prime Directive: Do all the cool shit you can to make folks lives better immediately.

@quigley.house.gov NOPE. I want ACCOUNTABILITY. Get Jeffries on board or make someone else speaker.

MS NOW@ms.now · 3d ago

"The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is now poised to become the next House Speaker, says that Democrats will focus on affordability concerns and not retribution after their midterm wins.

this came to me in a dream

Put a mic in front of Jeffries and Schumer. Ask them if they support Impeachment and Supoenas. If they say no, remove them from leadership.

ABBOTT CONCEDES!!!!!!

The most hotly contested race in my district is the school board, so I'm not fussed to vote early. Just got back from my (teensy) polling place and the judges were concerned about running out of ballots. There was only one touchscreen, so that could be a problem! Let's goooo!

Notably they didn't include the part where I said he was a socialist and we should fund the arts lol

60+ people have died in ICE detention since President Trump took office again last year. We must hold this Administration accountable for their cruel and inhumane practices.

Last Halloween, had great success with offering zines as an option along with candy. Working on a version of @sarahmackattack.bsky.social 's Everything Sucks zine (keeping her credit on it) - removed profanity, replaced/remixed a couple pages, and added commentary. y'know, zine stuff.

Don't I know it. The flyers and texts are flying, nearly all from Sherratt, and decidedly anti-Zaccor and anti-CTU. I'm not posting more of their BS, but the latest scare text was something else.

Frank Calabrese @frankcalabrese.bsky.social · 2w ago

The most expensive Chicago School Board election is northside District 4A where appointed board member Karen Zaccor is being challenged by Ellen Sherrat. $692k has been spent by outside groups, the vast majority benefitting Sherrat, while CTU spent 58k supporting Zaccor.

This is a great song version of the Carpathia's heroism.

I am a huge disaster nerd (hi @nameshiv.bsky.social and @rahaeli.bsky.social) and my first obsession as a kid was the Titanic it really cannot be overstated how absolutely heroic the Carpathia was once they learned what had happened to the Titanic, this is worth your time

Today, I introduced the Reimagining Safety Act, community-led legislation that would dismantle DHS, Melt ICE, and create a new human- and community-centered federal Department of Community Safety to promote collective care and well-being.

Not super niche, but corset tightening in anything, but ESPECIALLY Regency era stuff. No one! Can see! Your waist! It's a glorified bra! What the fuck? Also historical drama women with hair down. It's not freeing! It's in the way! OF OPEN GODDAMN FLAMES! Braid that shit and stick it under a cap!

Prompts a fun question: whats the most niche historical inaccuracy in a piece of work that annoys you Not like 'oh they were referring to the wrong king' , more 'they had the wrong king on a banknote in one scene'
