Have gotten my first email saying the race wasn't at all close and how don't I understand math blah blah and TBH, I suck at math. But under 9% is indeed a lot closer than, say, 22%.

A mass anti-abortion activist "training camp" set up a campus in a church in Memphis, Tennessee. They kick off their "program" this week. It's terrifying. Stay tuned for more. @msmagazine.com msmagazine.com/2025/11/26/a...

Tennessee does not fuck around. Especially when it comes to fighting for the people. I hope the country is paying attention because Aftyn Behn is going to make history in congressional district 7.

Reminder to those who get it: you are not obligated to stay up to date with the Epstein news. If you notice your body getting triggered, step back and have a cup of tea. Your healing/safety in this moment is more important.

Fox News lost its mind about women overwhelmingly voting for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, asking “what’s wrong with women?” and promoting early marriage to combat the “issue.”
