Talarico has been running a ground game in the Texas for months and is a solid candidate. He's not unknown if you cared about the race before Jasmine announced she was running.
It's only been minutes, but I've learned Jasmine Crockett can't win because she's a Black woman, something about crypto and Israel so she shouldn't even try.
I have no idea who Talarico is, but yeah the Democrat Party should run the unknown instead.
You people disgust me.

Every elected Republican was a united front opposing and criticizing everything Obama did for 8 straight years, even if it was a policy they fundamentally agreed with. Why. In the fuck. Is it asking too much for Democrats to do the same with a legitimate fascist?
Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

I think pro-ai groups using luddite as an insult dont realize how directly the line between the luddite movement and the rise of unions and worker protections like a minimum wage and the 8 hour work week was.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

It's never "let's fund free music education at every public school so all children can learn how to make music." Instead it's letting billionaires steal the labor of musicians to make a shitty slop machine.
All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

So instead of funding actual programs that teach kids how to do things and give them opportunities, we should steal from artists and call it "accessibility"?

The new American healthcare “plan” is to get healthy to save money.
It leaves disabled & chronically ill people behind.
It puts the onus on people to remain healthy, whether that’s possible or not.
We don’t choose to be disabled, it just happens
Everyone deserves healthcare

Notice Mamdani charmed Trump on live TV without backing down on any stances. He didn't water himself down, he didn't even take back calling Trump a fascist. Moderates would say butter him up, or try to appear more right-wing. Voters can see through that—and evidently so does he!

Autism is caused by genetics + environmental triggers.
Extensive studies with millions of kids showed no connection between vaccines and autism.
Doctors vaccinate our kids because we love them and want them to live to be healthy adults.

A great example of a media (and a newspaper) that isn't fit for purpose. When your framing of a story is this disingenuous, you are choosing to side with the abuser.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

You know what would have fixed this? Universal healthcare and UBI. Plus supportive housing for at least homeless CHILDREN.
And this is why rich and powerful men don’t want us to have those things. Poor young people are prey to them.

If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

It’s never ever ever about really making people safe.

But this is not going to protect a single person. Only harm.

Hidden in the controversial about UK "choking ban" proposal are a host of even more egregious proposals that could:

* redefine escort ads as pimping
* render model contracts unenforceable
* criminalize discussions of teen sexuality
And a whole lot more ...

Moral panic about rough sex gives way to censorship in the UK
British regulators and lawmakers are hot on a measure that would make possessing or publishing strangulation porn a crime.

As reflected in today’s news, the rightwing basically feels there’s no way for a woman to exercise any of her innate sexual agency without it being A THREAT to them.
The only acceptable use of a woman’s sexuality is: if she’s being exploited against her will by people who have power over her.
