just a reminder that there were people of the time — and of the same class and station — who saw this stuff and thought, "yeah this is bullshit"

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

As soon as Democrats retake the house, they need to tear down everything Trump did and restore the White House to normalcy. And tax billionaires to pay for it, since this is their fault.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

The entire backlog of 10,000 sexual assault kits in Washington has now been completely processed.

This was only possible thanks to the incredible advocacy of survivors like Leah Griffin, who worked tirelessly to see this backlog ended through legislation sponsored by #WALeg champion Tina Orwall.

Remember six months ago when we were all fairly despondent and trying to think of ways to stay hopeful? And I suggested that you should book yourself a tattoo? My date is finally arriving. New ink Wednesday. 🤗

Please add satire to the list of the many, many things that Mike Johnson doesn't know a single thing about.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 20h

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

SNAP benefits are going to be paused on November 1. If you are able, now is a good time to give to food banks, food pantries, or local mutual aid groups.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

I'm posting an updated Pesto fundraiser. I added in all the details on GoFundMe. We are cautiously optimistic because she is slowly responding to the very expensive medication Marquis. She is also being treated for Lyme. Plus lots of vet visits and fluids/ bloodwork. gofund.me/ee16714e
