Happy Friday you sickos

I’m so goddamn sick of being flooded with election-related spam texts. This is not an effective way to GOTV. It’s just an effective way of angering people and getting them to tune out whatever you have to say.

With all my heart I hope Talarico wins, but this kind of thing has to stop; it is one of the reasons so many Democratic voters hate the Democratic party. And it's not a Talarico problem; it's a Democratic consultant-class problem.

The texts from unknown numbers reminding me my voting record is public and they can stalk me and publicly shame me based on it is surely not an effective way to encourage people to vote?! Like what the fuck, this is creepy!

Polymarket has been pwned. A million customers have had their crypto drained.

My space dad died

Fun fact: His shirt refers to the death metal band eponymously titled Death, fronted by singer Chuck Schuldiner, who died from brain cancer at the age of 34 even though he had health insurance because his provider argued the cancer was a preexisting condition. So yeah. The shirt is on point.

Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

JD Vance accidentally comes out for abolishing the electoral college bsky.app/profile/atru...

JD Vance on ranked choice voting: "I don't understand it. It seems to me that you have an election, the person who wins the most votes should win...The fact it's so confusing to a person who pays pretty close attention to politics I think suggests we should do our elections in, like, the normal way"

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

A good way to motivate people to vote, especially early voting or mail voting, would be if there was some way you could guarantee that they would stop getting campaign texts as soon as they vote

Bolosonaro is being investigated for being on honest to God Brazilian crime lord who was running to do for him and his crime family what our President did for his, lost, then fled Brazil illegally, and if Dems aren’t running this story 24/7 for the next week they are leaving real votes on the table.

BREAKING: The U.S. government is granting visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family following his defeat in Brazil's presidential election.

The votes aren’t there. NOW. So you do it, air it, CHANGE THE MINDS. You don’t fucking sit down and go “we’ve tried nothing, and that’s our best.” Fuck! You go in there like a winner, you work the public, educate, KEEP GOING, and we can get there. Sit there like a lump and we get lumps. FUCK.

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…

"You can't block someone just for being annoying!" Those are actually the most important people to block

I do think that a winning platform for Democrats needs to include cracking down on the relentless scammery of living in modern America. Give us right to repair, take on the dangerous “alternative” healthcare and supplements lobby, do something about the scam calls and rampant identity theft

Lina Khan on Mamdani: "One thing we saw the mayor be very attentive to is all sorts of daily nickel and diming -- taking on junk fees, subscription traps. Those can seem very micro and targeted, but in the aggregate I see those as really designed to take on unfair methods of competition."

The 10th District Court of Appeals in Franklin County ruled last week the EdChoice voucher program is unconstitutional: columbusunderground.com/school-vouch...

School Voucher Program is Unconstitutional According to Public Education Advocates - Columbus Underground

The public school coalition Vouchers Hurt Ohio is confident the Republican-controlled Ohio Supreme Court will find the state’s Education Choice private school voucher program unconstitutional.

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

Supporters State That It Is Far Too Late To Ask "Bald Guy With Glasses" What Actual Name Is After Standing Near Each Other For 10 Years www.thenutmegnews.com/current/2026...

691 words about Cheesecake. 434 words about rape.

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

Elon Musk put a rapist enabler on TV because that’s exactly what he is, and that’s exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy protects. There, that’s how you talk about it.

The excitement of the 2026 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final prompted a new #Crew96 essay. 2002 was special, 2026 is a Crew cup run unlike any other, and CLB-STL is a cool matchup of soccer cities. I can't wait for Wednesday. www.columbuscrew.com/news/now-the...

Except he didn't fund it, I did, paying a much higher tax rate than the white supremacist. Those thrusters are SpaceX tech for which we—not him—have paid ~$31 billion. I paid for those cold gas thrusters and the software running them, and what I get in exchange is a short video and white supremacy.

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

No Kings protest in Downtown Columbus Ohio. More video coming soon.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org
