whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

I think this is the first time I've lived walking distance from a grocery store and I'm out of my mind about it. I'll walk there several times a day. Oh did I forget to grab something? No big deal I'll simply Walk To The Store

It is so deeply sinister to design an app for addiction, rip it away, and then bring it back as a propaganda machine.
Keeping people glued to screens, terrified over everything out of their control, while feeling isolated from their own communities.
It’s just vile.

If you're worried about Trump's plans to destroy our public health infrastructure, think about concrete actions you can take to help people.

When someone says “the president is not a dictator” and you say “maybe soon though” I worry that that’s a akin to “obeying in advance.”
No. The president of the US is not a dictator. Even if he would like to be, we will not allow it.
