Okay I finally have my headshots back and I just posted them all on insta so I guess I’ll post them here too 💜✨ these first two are my faves:

Me being a slut in my underwear and a sleeveless shirt with knee high socks in front of a purple background

Me smiling in a black shirt and grey open button up in front of a purple background

PRITZKER: "I genuinely think there is something wrong with him. I wish that his family would intervene, because I do think he needs mental health help."

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 2h

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

Well, the Peacemaker finale sure made me cry!

like I think it hurts these kinds of discussions to need to give out a whole damn public statement showing how much you don't like someone/ OTHER things they've said before saying anything else about the person/their quote

Ian Carlos @ianxcarlos.bsky.social · 22h

yeah for sure - lately i've been trying not to be the extremely online person who needs 897397 clarifiers before saying "this one thing out of context is net good" but I know thats how we all exist on the internet. So of course I hate her and think she's awful, I'm just very surprised by this turn

100% to all of this (I hate that folks bad faith misinterpret this as supporting her - i'm just never gonna be mad at someone moving away from their evil dipshit persona to do a reasonable thing finally)

Ian Carlos @ianxcarlos.bsky.social · 23h

But this doesn’t appeal to folks who would support her! I almost feel like the Epstein stuff is something she maybe actually believes in and that’s why she’s dropped her usual shtick (but she still sucks and I still hate her, I’m just not gonna complain that a republican is for releasing the files)

Hell truly has frozen over - HOW is this demonic clown the most outspoken republican on this?!? This ghoul’s whole thing is saying democrats control the weather and turn kids trans!!!!

And now she’s looking sensible compared to other republicans, which says a whole lot about their nightmare party

Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"

In my morning class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have a group of 4 students who have been friends since HS and participate the most in class and always stay after to chat with me and I feel like I’m their gay millennial Rupert Giles

“Can’t do that, it’s gotta be healthcare all the way” sounds like a reply from the most annoying Twitter account

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 1d

Durbin on whether Democrats can use reining in ICE in Chicago as a precondition to rein in the government says “can’t do that. It’s gotta be health care all the way.”

one of the only times I'm a "both sides are bad" type is when T*ylor puts out a new album and everyone seems to lose their god damned mind bravely saying why it's the best thing in the world or bravely saying it's the worst thing in the world - it's ALWAYS THIS SAME EXACT DISCOURSE EVERYFUCKINGTIME

I know we say cruelty is the point but I think fear is the point. They want everyone too afraid to stand up to them. I hate that I got worried for everyone involved in helping this man, waiting for ICE to come back with a tank or some shit. But this is community at work and I love that they won.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.
