I feel like I was in a really good mental state tonight playing in One Fight Stand. For 4 out of the 7 rounds, I started off with a loss, but instead of spiraling I kept it together and kept my cool to win all but one of my sets tonight. This felt like progress.

i grew up in Alberta 💔 I always knew it as a stunningly beautiful landscape full of the friendliest people, ruled by a dynasty of corrupt conservatives. but it feels like they're entering a new stage toward fascism with recent actions like this bill & the crushing of the teachers' union
Alberta just introduced Bill 9, which exists for one and only one purpose: deleting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as it pertains to trans kids, denying them the right to life and stripping their healthcare away.
This is cruel, anti-democratic and anti-constitutional.

wait, are you telling me the NYTimes possessed news-worthy evidence that it suppressed in favor of a different narrative that was more preferable to their editors?!? 😲 /s 🧵
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
