I hope he isn't the nominee. He's loud. Progressive candidates need to be loud right now.
Pritzker and Newsom are making themselves frontrunners. They are taking on the administration. Do I want better candidates? Sure. Can I create them? Can I push a progressive to confront authoritarianism credibly and with strength/results? That seems not to be a skill I have.
We're all headed under the bus now... I campaigned hard for a strong progressive last time. And then voted to save democracy. I don't like Newsom. I also don't want to live in a country run by Stephen Miller.
If the next presidential election is between Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump or JD Vance, are you sitting it out? I'm not a Newsom supporter, just someone who watched a lot of people sit out the last election and now instead of an imperfect president, we're facing fascism.
Please tell me what you're going to do with them. I have an overabundance of small, beautiful, blindingly hot sugar Rush blush peppers.

As we head into fall in the northern hemisphere I am going to get REAL obnoxious about "leave your leaves!"

It's the EASIEST way you can help the ecosystem - just be lazy. If you're worried about your neighbors complaining, make a dedicated square with sign saying it's a wildlife refuge
I donate, vote Blue, write letters to the newspaper, harass my political reps, and generally try not to be an ass.
On behalf of white people everywhere, I just want to apologize for the fact that a whole lot of us are stupid as hell. It's probably too late to do anything about that... More birth control earlier would have been a good thing.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

my dudes there's no such thing as "too late" to regulate AI, that's a fake idea. AI models aren't untouchable data gods, they're algorithms hosted in cloud storage. Saying we can't regulate AI is like saying we can't deplatform Child P*rn bc "it's already out there". Like, 1s and 0s can be deleted

The Nazis targeted disabled people first & pioneered the term “useless eater”

They convinced the masses that we were less than”. People taking up resources & not contributing in any way.

When Dr Oz says we must “prove our worth” to get Medicaid, he’s just resurrecting the concept.

Don’t let him

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY.

And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon.

And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

These people watched Soylent Green and said "Yeah, that's what we want."
TNR is destroying the bird population of our neighborhood. I can plant natives for cover and food until I am green, but when feral cats start feeding on the local bird population, the result is devastating. The really painful thing is knowing this is happening everywhere. TNR is murder for birds.

The 1st number is what the White House claimed other countries charge us in tariffs, the 2nd number is what they actually charge. The White House lies to you. Again. (charts from CNBC)
