🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

the lack of masking has i think been a subtle but important factor in my feeling of dread and growing madness for the last few years

its an impossible to ignore proof of how the majority of ppl operate purely on vibes, peer pressure, and what they've been told

leaves me feeling hopeless

Gavin Newsom's position is clear: if it costs corporations money, or could cost corporations money, he will veto it, no matter who it protects or who it harms.

The man is another corporate toady, and nothing else. His priorities are CEO priorities, the same ones we see cozying up to Trump now.

"“While I strongly support the author’s goal of establishing necessary safeguards for the safe use of AI by minors, (the bill) imposes such broad restrictions on the use of conversational AI tools that it may unintentionally lead to a total ban on the use of these products by minors,” Newsom said."

Sometimes I am SO exhausted by the people around me. "Oh, you're still getting the Covid shot?" YES, mf! One, I don't want to fucking get sick, and two, my son's girlfriend has CANCER, and I'll do whatever it takes to make sure she doesn't get sick on top of everything else. Fuck's sake.

I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Masking and neither are most people. This ask is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous.

The same people — and politicians — who are now going to go back to lecturing others about free speech, liberal ideals, right and wrong, and all the other nonsense, watched as people were brutalized, disappeared, and speech was punished and repressed when anyone protested Israel.

Lot of people treated a genocide of a people, sponsored by their own country, as an annoying pet issue that needed to be shelved after the killing as complete or pushed aside for other political problems. And pretended that it was just too complicated to engage with.

Important to note that this isn’t a problem for the billionaire buying media properties. If they make them into successful rightwing propaganda? Cool more money. If it fails? Cool they’ve destroyed one of the few outlets with the resources to investigate them. Either way they achieved their goal
