Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

Plastic skeletons have a very high carbon footprint, so over Halloween, stick with hanging out the bones of those who wronged you.

So what do you say, J.D. Vance? You once feared Trump could be the American Adolf Hitler. But that seems to be the hope of the new generation of Republicans you’ve raised. Will you denounce this outbreak of antisemitism, racism and fascism in your party?

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

Newsom is absolutely crushing the messaging assignment. EVERY Dem governor should have a feed and a social media director like this.

Donald Trump is a wartime president.

War on women.
War on voting rights.
War on Latinos.
War on California.
War on institutions.
War on history.

Rurals need to stop voting GOP.

C'mon, figure it out, GOPers. Ethnic cleansing, womens' apron strings and bathroom monitors aren't worth this.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

In addition to what he's saying, that chyron is factually false.

There are no ffkin' "rioters". Fox is literally taking a dump on the truth, rolling it up and smoking it.

Tonight's Milky Way taken from Point Reyes, California. The frames were taken about 33 miles, as the pelican flies, from San francisco. Light the curvature of the Earth is weird!

The Milky Way vertically with some orange and yellow tints at the bottom. These are four 60 second exposures edited in Lightroom and Stitched together on my phone comma so there's definitely a better version on my laptop if I ever release it
