I did this in Texas. I became very good at drawing my gerrymandered district backwards, in the air, so that it looked correct to audiences I spoke to. Get out there and run in an unwinnable race. No seats uncontested.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

The penny’s extinction is approaching faster than anyone expected. Cue panic, hoarding and split-second rounding at restaurants and retailers.
Burger King Braces for the Demise of the Penny
Restaurants operators are hoarding the coins and warning customers to not expect exact change. Cashiers are getting stuck with a math quiz.

This is big news, locally. Thrilled for my friends in the district. May our shitty state and congressional reps be next.

One of the largest school districts in Texas, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, has come to be dominated by the Christian right.

But conservative board members lost 3 seats last night to a slate of candidate running on separating church and education: www.houstonpress.com/news/progres...

The amount of "Islam is incompatible with our civilization" discourse I've seen lately is nauseating. It's so blatant and horrible.

Yup. & Cuomo would never have questioned the qualifications of a dual Israeli-American citizen. We have had plenty in elected office.

bigotry *in general* is now obligatory! Efforts at inclusion are crimes! Discrimination is a right! We need to get back to some kind of right-side-up norms around bigotry stat!

Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

Rafael Cruz, a man who is afraid to use his own first name because he knows the people who vote for him are xenophobic racists, is stirring up xenophobic racism against another politician because "Ted" is trash.

This "trial", using court time and resources, is another example of these tough right wingers being the most pathetic whiny babies of their generation.

I wonder how many people know that our public schools, k through 12, colleges and university are socialist parts of our economy? That is why the Republicans, especially Trump, are trying to kill them.🧪💡☠️ #Sociology #population #Think #News

And then follow it up with the fact that everyone on Bluesky is talking about it in their liberal, left-wing bubble. Doesn't it seem odd that they know more about your government than you?

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor would not have been stripped of "Prince" if the Epstein Files were fiction written by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, John Brennen, and various unnamed people in the Biden administration, as guilty Donald stupidly--and desperately--claims.
