media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment

correct are you serious about beating fascism or not? get in, we’re beating them in november you can be mad, you can be disappointed, but at the end of the day having someone with D in any and all seats is better than having someone with an R in them

I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.

"As of Tuesday, none of the [8] stolen cameras have been found." 😃🌟🎉

Every Flock camera in Winona has been cut down and stolen

The cost to replace each camera and pole is approximately $3,000.

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

Credit where it's due: this is the dignified way to end a campaign. More like this, please.

NEWS — Haley Stevens has endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers.

If Stevens had made it to the general election and lost in the fall, the argument would have been that the left cost the Dems the Senate. The left is pretty used to the media narrative always being “the left is at fault.”

If sayed loses in the fall then the argument will be the left cost the Dems the senate which would be bad IMO

After over a decade of transition I finally got to vote for another trans woman for elected office. She won.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

hot socialist summer continues

LET'S FUCKING GO

it’s kinda funny to have a spoiler candidate for someone else who ends up spoiling things for you at the exact margin you need

Nobody has worked harder for the Stevens campaign today than Steve Kornacki

Perez Hilton live-streamed himself engaging in self-harm and clips of it are now circulating on social media.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

"I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker ... if he becomes a force in the Democratic Party, I am out of here," James Carville says on Fox this morning. Reminder: The Left Insurgency airs tonight on CNN at 8p ET.

he is about as relatable as a dude who swings around on webs can be: kind of a fuckup, girl trouble, overbearing boss, covers up insecurity by being a wiseass, fundamentally a good dude who gives a shit anyway

People potentially subject to the nyc pied-à-terre tax are being treated with 1% of the administrative hostility of SNAP and Medicaid applicants, and they’re throwing 100x the fit

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

This was the first 26 or so years of my life tbh I didn't realize I didn't have to hide -everything- from -everyone- until I was surrounded by people who actively reassured me I was safe

If you want to know how things got this bad for LGBTQ people (especially trans people) over the past decade, I think this piece I wrote in 2019 does a good job of putting it all together www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

It’s time for a reckoning for journalists who boosted false narratives about Donald Trump’s LGBTQ policy positions

"I have very strong feelings about one 15 year old girl in West Virginia running cross country with her friends." Shut the fuck up.

my feelings on this are pretty straightforward: if you have a problem with poor people having greater access to less expensive food then you’re a fucking psycho.

Weird how much discourse around the Mamdani grocery stores ignores the existence of the Green Cart intiative (launched under Bloomberg) that provides subsidized fruit and vegetable stands across the city under the exact same logic as the grocery stores

Mark Carney just allowed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to fly through Canada despite a warrant for his arrest and the country being a signatory to the Rome Statute. We have aided and embedded one of history's greatest monsters
