I'm finally finishing the edit on an absurd fight scene for @nonormallifepod.bsky.social that we recorded in pieces over months, and LET ME TELL YOU, my decision to start binge listening to @thegrottopod.com last week is making the vocal cut for @taytayheyheyva.bsky.social much weirder/funnier.

so, in short:

• if we all get loud for trans rights and actually organize a movement, we can win this one

• if we don’t, then a de facto ban on care is assured in us law within the next six months

in other words, you found yourself in history

now’s a moment to be the hero

really.

As a BCer on the ballot I AM excited that the government hasn't been called as we get to the riding I'm overseas voting in, thank you Rosemary Barton for noticing me. #canpoli

again, this man is an empty hairpiece full of ambition in place of any recognizable human principles

but it’s a shocking failure of that ambition that he could not recognize that “join the right wing culture warriors in shitting on people” is the exact opposite of what people want

Gavin Newsom sees 10-point net drop in favorability since launching his podcast. Survey finds "the podcast only made 13% of voters have an improved perception of the Governor, with 26% saying that it harmed their perception."

CA 120: Gavin's podcast - Presidential run or empire building? - Capitol Weekly

Gov. Gavin Newsom's new podcast has sent shockwaves through California's political world. But is there more to Newsom's efforts than meets the eye?

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · Mar 12

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care.

They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely.

This won’t just harm people. This will kill people.

They own this.
