Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

"People like you voted for Bill Clinton, you stood by Bill Clinton"

Ma'am, I was 7 years old the last time Bill Clinton was on a ballot.

My only feelings on him were I'd get mad when I'd come home to watch Days of Our Lives and my mom would tell me it'd been preempted by his sex scandal again.

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

There's a week left for the Governor to sign bills. Phone lines open at 9am on Monday, make those calls to ask him to sign SB 79 to bring more housing near transit in California. In the meantime you can also send a message at www.gov.ca.gov/contact/
Update: had a friend just call and said there was zero wait time to talk to a live person and the whole call only took 30 seconds.

Call 916-445-2841 NOW to support SB79 and building more housing near transit
one little thing you can do to make a difference this Friday is calling @gavinnewsom.bsky.social and telling him to vote yes on SB79

916-445-2841 is his number, call now or use the link below

well meaning people love to be like ‘aren’t you scared of being left behind if you don’t start using AI in your work’ and from the bottom of my heart: no, im not scared of that. i would rather go back to restaurants for the rest of my life than publish AI ‘books’

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

CNN has a panel talking about Epstein and the host just mentioned (almost as an aside!) that one of the guys is a lawyer defending Ghislaine Maxwell. And rather than being a guest who's grilled about the case, he's treated like any other panelist who just happens to be minimizing the crimes.

John Burton was a giant of San Francisco & California politics. He moved mountains for our community & stood up for progressive values even when it wasn’t popular. His passing is a huge loss.

As authoritarianism rises, John’s memory gives us resolve to fight.

Rest in power.
