I had a dream last night that Deltarune chapter 7 dropped and all my theories on it were completely wrong.

Glad that nightmare is over.

Having grown up in Las Vegas but living in central Illinois is so bitter, Vegas truly was (from a child's perspective) a fantastic place of regular surprises, but it was unaffordable back to where we moved to PA (I've lived in a lot of places), and it's just gotten *so much worse* since then.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing."

John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

There's got to be a person who loves AOC's politics but hates that she won because if she didn't, Joe Crowley would be in charge now

Gotta be at least one person

The other day you talked about the need to hope against all odds and this is a perfect example why.

The Muslim socialist polling at 1% at the start of the year was the one who denied Andrew Cuomo, who we thought was inevitable at a time, a return to power and turned him into an embarrassing mess.

I asked "why did Pelosi choose him?" and you said "Because Pelosi chose him, of course"

I don't know who this man is but I do know that his wife was out of town for the weekend.

Man with a toddler riding a motorcycle. Neither of them is wearing a helmet.

Reminder that churches usually have NDAs that prevent workers from properly talking about sexual abuse cover ups under the pretext of "gossipping and misusing insider knowledge to spread false rumors"

What was his endgame, there is nobody happy with this.

My timeline is filled with people mad at Jeffries it was last second and people mad at Jeffries for doing it at all, how did this pathetic politician get chosen by Pelosi to be leadership when he's this bad?

I am a co-host on that podcast and personally invited Blaha on to win my district to unseat the Democrat there who thinks there are only two genders (before backtracking with a word salad)

I will be passing this on to Dylan.

I want Jeffries's approval in his district to go up because of this, I want him to give a frustrated sign and give into more leftist demands to try to not get primaried (and there is at least one leftist attempt right now down there)

I like Lakshya a little; without him, Dan Osborn would have never gotten the attention he did, and nobody would be thinking about independent candidates running in GOP regions, so Lakshya does some good work

But I use my data analyses to change my mind, not desperately cling onto my beliefs

Lakshya Jain @lakshya.splitticket.org · 2d

With respect to Mamdani, he is on track to very handily win New York in a 3-way race, but it's worth pointing out that he's not all that popular in NYC either, relative to partisanship. (In fact, H2H polls with Cuomo are usually within the MoE.) I just don't think he's a model for other Dems.

Andrew the Psycho-Statistician @greatchumpion.bsky.social · 1d

Mamdani went from 1% in the polls to winning the first and final round in rank choice voting in the manner of months against the former governor the establishment backed, that's fantastic!

We use more than raw numbers and use outside information for data interpretation on the plan forward.

I learned about this the other day and it's hope, Montana has a way to ignore Citizen's United at a state level and it might actually work, the supreme court trying to stop a state's right to define corporations would be messy

Hope for the impossible and sometimes get it

Montana has a 2026 ballot measure in the works that will sidestep Citizen's United there if passed; Citizen's United is campaign finance law, but it's up to states to define corporate personhood and limitations in the first place.

Life has bad surprises *and* good surprises; if you let the fact that you can't see how good things can happen stop you, then the good surprises can't happen.

It's exhausting but we MUST hope, keep on going until we see some of the greatest things we thought could never happen but we were wrong.

Hope is active. Doom is inactive. Every time you say “it’s over” you have completely given up and simply handed it all to the fascists.

Craig Calcaterra @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social · 2d

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

The Corporate Power Reset That Makes Citizens United Irrelevant

By using their authority to define what corporations are—and what powers they hold—states can end the era of corporate and dark money in U.S. politics.

Montana is the key

Citizen's United is campaign finance law, but Montana realized that defining what a corporation is and what personhood benefits it gets has always been... A state's right to control business, a messier topic

There's a 2026 ballot measure to sidestep Citizen's United in the state

She's DC's rep who can do anything *except* the final vote

When Jan 6th happened we needed somebody up there screaming their lungs out for DC statehood so that DC government controls their National Guard and there could never be another Jan 6th again, this is just sad.
