This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

I’m told almost daily that if I softened my messaging more folks would support me

It’s not the messaging that’s the problem

It’s what we’re saying

Ableism is everywhere & many people want disabled folks to disappear. They don’t want us taking up space.

So we’ll take up more!

Today I had to vote on a school bond to *bring local schools into compliance with the ADA." Read that again.

I was 15 when the ADA passed and my old schools are STILL NOT ACCESSIBLE. I am 50 now, almost 51.

Listening to <redacted> podcast on the way to school today, I yelled/happy-flapped in the middle of traffic hearing <redacted> describe, but not openly proclaim, that they Figured It Out.
I've been waiting for YEARS, knowing they need & deserve the other community they unknowingly belong to.

“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”

Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants

Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate — and paid cash bonuses for performance.

I've been waging psychological warfare against the "Six-Sevveennn" scourge for almost 2 weeks. Forcing in-class examples with those digits, making them count out with me in instruction. Have gotten to the groaning stage and I will not relent. It's tired and old when Dad does it.

This morning, guidance counselor comes to me and says, "I got an idea to annoy kids with cringe."

We tape a 6 and 7 on our backs, stand in the hallways between classes doing this:
(Image of scene from "Dude, Where's My Car" where two buffoons take turns examining their back tattoos)

The chorus of groans was well worth it.

"I saw about 6-7 of your friends come by earlier!"
*Oh my god, stop!*
"You have 6-7 seconds to get to class!"
*Please, just quit now.*
"Know how many more electives you need? That's right..."
*Why are you like this?!*

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

Made a similar point last week that you can make extra meals and let neighbors know that they will be available at your door at a particular date and time... Put up a flier in your building.

Remora House DC 🎃 @remorahousedc.bsky.social · 10d

You can cook food for your neighbors. Set a free pantry box outside of your place. Pool money with your coworkers if someone at work has young kids or an elderly relative that likely has SNAP.

You don’t have to pry into people’s business, you can just do things & make it known help is available.
