It’s not just Talarico beating Paxton. It’s Abbott losing. It’s Dan Patrick losing. It’s Mayes Middleton losing. It’s Bo French losing. It’s every single statewide race in Texas—including four (of the nine) seats on the Texas Supreme Court. Holy. Shit.

Turns out you don't have to give a single fucking inch on trans rights to win in a red state!

The GOP needs to be defeated, but America only gets its soul back if it’s an extinction level event When America finds national renewal and justice, “MAGA” will be a hiss and and a byword

Another Black woman is a senator. Hot damn!

Happy Election Day, hope we all get to feast on the blood of our enemies

the scariest thing about halloween this year is the number of fundraising texts rolling in p.s. my main hobby is now blocking & reporting spam for numbers sending these texts p.p.s. there are infinite phone numbers

If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.

this is one hell of an ad

one stuff to get done is impeachment

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · last wk.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

When Trump urged Ramaswamy to keep running the vile attack ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother, the message to survivors of sexual abuse was unmistakable.
