it is very cool (read: very not cool) that "What if the entire regional economy immediately exploded?" is a ballot measure in the bay area because we are in the 'touching the hot stove' era of american history. if you live in the bay area you should vote for the regional transit measure.

A new poll finds 48% support for the Regional Transit Measure, revealing divisions over whether residents should pay more to preserve Bay Area public transportation.

Democrats love to give us a version of the marshmallow test where we are asked to refrain from eating zero marshmallows on the table with the promise of also zero marshmallows to come down the line.

IT'S ALL ONE FIGHT. some of the defendants in the stanford 11 case showed up in support of the stud alley 18 today, but they could use a lot more support for their legal defenses. if you can spare, please support people facing intense politically-motivated felony charges. be there for them too.

there's still other people charged in bullshit political cases related to the sf pride march, but this is a huge win.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

What I will never forget is Ari Fleisher posting his annual million-tweet tick tock of 9/11 for likes and Twitter followers and then becoming a registered foreign agent for Saudi Arabia.

War leader said war fighters are warriors who must "brook no gay shit" and must "taste death by getting hit by 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2 AEV Bison" at "full speed" to prove they are "not gay",

Progressives won last night, but does this undermine Democratic Party values of losing elections? By winning elections the far left is showing they aren’t willing to play ball with the Democratic Party.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

There are going to be narratives the AES underperformed in this race which is quite frankly insane. He massively over performed. He entered this race as a massive underdog to both McMorrow and Stevens and didn’t become the favorite until June.

Lindsey Graham got the diarrhea and died. "There was nothing left when he was done," said an aide. "Now we have to try to put the diarrhea back in so we can bury something three dimensional," he added. RFK Jr. is going to give kids in school diarrhea to honor Lindsey Graham and make them stronger.

being in the DSA is fun because you get to spend most of your time helping people with social anxiety canvass for democratic school board candidates and then go online to see people with blue wave emojis in their bios compare you to pol pot

"Tankies" means "Fans of Tom Hanks", they were originally "Hankies" but that was confusing so they were calling themselves "T. Hankies" but that also had people referring to them as "Thankies".

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

There is a lot of handwringing going on about how DSA dems will cause dems in general to lose the next set of national elections. Mark this: its actually going to be corpo dems embracing data center building dickheads like this that will cause the party to fumble the bag. Bipartisanly hated.

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

NEWS: The leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee will unveil a bipartisan deal Monday on guardrails for protecting kids against online harms, including a long-sought compromise on the Kids Online Safety Act. @benbrodydc.bsky.social has the details: punchbowl.news/article/tech...

This is literally the hardest thing to accurately convey to the public. MS NOW just reported that SCOTUS hasn’t issued the “major” decisions instead of reporting that SCOTUS is systematically wiping out precedents.
