Massachusetts incumbents are un-beatable, part 394390. Jeffrey Turco, a former Trump supporter turned Democratic lawmaker who was one of the main opponents of this summer's new state new law lifting restrictions on abortion, is well ahead in his Dem primary with two-thirds of the vote in.
These assholes shouldn’t be allowed to run as Democrats.

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.
while milo gets to chit chat on TV with clear access to safety and basic needs, the US is flying untold numbers of immigrants to unsafe countries of origin or other countries where they don't speak the language or know anyone.

As someone who had a child 60 days after turning 18 I’m glad CHILDREN are having fewer children. Having a kid so young was hard and I made so many more mistakes than I did when I was able to plan a pregnancy a decade later. Conservative pedophiles just want to trap young girls.

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 16h agoFox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough: “The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”

I can never forget this bit for good reason, even if it (obviously) wasn't verbatim from the movie.
#MutualAid I am still $480 short of making my rent tomorrow, so if anyone is able to help, it would take a massive amount of financial stress off my plate. Because I have to pay a 1.75% fee to instantly transfer any funds I receive to have them in time, I will need to raise $500 to cover the amount.
YSUBassoon@bassoonysu.bsky.social · 2d agoI'm $480 short of the amount for my rent for Tuesday if anyone is able to help. As I stated in previous posts, I will be paying forward anything I receive when I get a job and am able to earn enough to set money aside to help others. Helping me pay my rent keeps me going while I look for work.

I know many people have already dunked on this, but I have to add my own two cents because what you’re talking about here is creating a self-sustaining community, and if the 1% were interested in doing that we wouldn’t be in this mess.
Josh Sternberg@joshsternberg.com · 3d agoThis is where the 1% will go to restart civilization after a nuclear attack. But it for me thinking: what if the uber wealthy built these bunkers for more people — and not for nuclear attacks but for the climate crisis that will get us all — instead of trying to leave the planet?
