I think it's plausible that everyone concerned about democracy was already voting for Harris, so it didn't win any undecideds over.

But that means it's more important to stress now, because your core voters care about it a lot!

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025.

Americans can't afford groceries or health care.

But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

It would be fucking hilarious if Maher's show were to be cancelled again over something like this.

HUGE HOUSING NEWS: The Assembly just passed our bill allowing more homes near public transportation, SB 79!

We need more housing & we need it near transit. It’ll reduce traffic congestion & carbon emissions & increase transit ridership & affordability.

Go housing! Go transit!

One of the challenges of this age is these guys are basically moral chimpanzees and the rest of us have to both deal with the America they create while also protecting universal truths for ourselves to draw from AND for these people to rediscover someday.

There are people out there who say horrible things for a living, and there are people out there who do horrible things for a living.
One of those is much worse than the other, social media tends to treat them as the same but they really are not.

No, I'm sorry, if you purchase an aisle seat you should be forced to sign a contract acknowledging that you will have to get up several times throughout the flight, and that's the price you pay for being able to grab your carry-on faster or w/e

if you purchase a window seat on a plane, you should be forced to sign a blood pact that you promise you’re not using the bathroom that entire flight

My Unified Theory Of Taylor Lorenz is that she had her brain broken by the internet, and now fights for the right of others to have their brains broken by the internet.

this is... insane

Taylor Lorenz tweet that reads "I’ve reported on this, but these phone bans are part of a wider effort to cut young people off from the internet and open information. It’s fine and great to have a no phone policy during class, but that’s not what these school wide bans are about."
