A huge night for Democrats:
—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

It says a lot that AI “artists” are so creatively bankrupt they think writing prompts is a difficult, arduous task.
You realize coming up with a prompt is what a real artist would call “having an idea,” right?
It took them weeks of sleepless nights to have some basic thoughts.

I’m gonna be honest @jay.bsky.team, banning a side account that I made after this one was suspended due to me being scared for my husband who was kidnapped by ICE and having a dev meme on this is insane PR for any site.

You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained.

He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.

Siccing dogs on people is a slave tracker thing, a Bull Connor thing, a police brutality thing, a jackboot thug thing, an evil abuse of both dog and man which only a fully corrupted spirit could enact.

There is a rally today for a local dad who was arrested by ICE at a checkin appointment. He’s been here two decades.
Local media has not been following these stories nearly enough.
