I saw myself as maybe all in for J.B. Pritzker

But I am losing faith, rapidly.

Police state fascism in America is bigger than Trump. It's backed by Democrats just like Republicans. And it's not going anywhere

State police just started pushing people off the business park corner. Here in the road, a brave group of demonstrators are attempting to hold their line.

“This is the line. It's the line that got me to tear up as I was watching it. It was the line that FINALLY made me felt seen by a Democratic politician. This is the line that connects everything Democrats claim to fight for with trans rights.”

Both the referenced video and article are so good! Wasn’t expecting to tear up this morning—definitely hit harder than I expected. A perfect example of how the entire Democratic Party should be leaning in and standing up!

Please read Kate's piece and watch Zohran's video. So important, so good, and so hopeful. I cried watching it too.

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20.

Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

A post from failed real estate agent and local ghoul Chaya Raichik aka LibsOfTikTok targeting me. Text of the post reads:

“Leftist CA State Assembly candidate Chris Kluwe, who promotes the harassment of ICE online, was ARRESTED at a Huntington Beach City Council meeting earlier this year.

Chris was protesting a proposed library plaque that featured a phrase similar to ‘Make America Great Again’

Chris called MAGA a ‘Nazi movement’ before leaving the podium and approaching the council member, where he was grabbed by police and carried out.

This unhinged lunatic wants to be an elected official…”

Thanks for the free advertising, Chaya!

It's misleading and you should delete it. If you want to analyze or interpret, don't present it as coming from him. It doesn't take quotation marks to imply you're quoting.

Johnny Cash didn't switch costumes with Elton John on SNL just to have some asshat call him "deeply uncool." I hate to even share this but the ratio is nice.

Left: Johnny Cash wearing a pink feather boa, a sparkly gold ascot, and gold glasses with pink feathers at the temples.

Right: Elton John in a black cowboy hat and leather jacket over a plaid shirt.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

Two little guys standing outside their cabin on a snowy night looking at a huge spider. One of the guys is holding up a mug and says “Big fella, we got hot apple cider happening here.”

grimly fucking funny that Marjorie Taylor Greene is turning out to be one of the most reality-based Republicans. getting a little chuckle out of that www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Marjorie Taylor Greene doubles down on her unexpected break with Republicans over health care in shutdown fight

The MAGA firebrand sparked criticism from GOP leadership after giving voice to a key Democratic demand — extending expiring Obamacare funding to avoid premium hikes.

Ok so I am trying to get 4,000 patrons for my podcast @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social by the end of 2025. To that end, I think in a the next month or so I am going to do a 24 hour live stream where every person who signs up can request me to perform a song, live, with no preparation. That sounds fun.

Tim Kaine and the other fucks who negotiated that end to the shutdown for a loose commitment to a vote on DACA that failed should be ashamed to this day that they got hoodwinked so badly by Susan fucking Collins.

beardyBOO! 👻🎃 @beardyblue.bsky.social · 4d

This is just as good as the commitment she gave for ending the 2018-2019 shutdown, which is to say it's nothing at all and they should reject it out of hand

Jason Linkins @dceiver.bsky.social · 4d

I don't know what Democrats think of this either, but I do know what Democrats SHOULD think about something suggested by a conniving viper who has fucked them over on every single occasion she's had the opportunity

Burgess Everett tweet: "One of Sen. Collins idea to break logjam: Dems give votes to reopen government with a “commitment” to negotiate on ACA premium tax credits. She says it’s not entirely clear what Democrats think of this"
