What pisses me off more than anything is that Esther Ghey does not at all get, or speak for, the trans community. But she gets the microphone and what she does with it hurts her daughters community

Very convenient to be able to shove the transphobia that got this girl killed under the carpet and blame phones instead and be able to deny any criticism like that

Maybe Esther doesn’t think its insulting, but its rubbing salt in the wound to the whole trans community

Shaheen took my friend's heartfelt video and put her office's message and logo at the end

& then she caved last night

Using Amanda as a mouthpiece & then voting the way you did is despicable, Jeanne

Amanda MAY REALLY NOT SURVIVE losing healthcare

SHAME on you, Shaheen
& shame on your office too!

You know democracy is going great when your senators turn off their voicemails so they don’t have to hear from voters.

Classy, on top of being very, very good at her job. Looking forward to seeing this pair (and Mosqueda and Baron) lead the county into the future!

Claudia Balducci has conceded the King County Executive race to Girmay Zahilay after today's results. However, Balducci will remain on the King County Council and Sound Transit Board of Directors.
Balducci Concedes King County Executive Race, Congratulates Executive-Elect Zahilay on Victory With the returns showing a clear outcome in the County Executive Race, King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci issued the following statement: “I want to congratulate my colleague, Executive-Elect Zahilay, on the victory and thank him for a spirited contest of ideas about how to lead King County through these tumultuous times. He has my full support, and I look forward to continuing working with him going forward. Throughout this campaign, we heard frequently that voters thought highly of both candidates. This puts us in a rare position in politics today to end an election campaign unified rather than divided and well-aligned to work in tandem for the best interest for all of King County going forward.” “I’m grateful and humbled that so many voters placed their trust in me in these tumultuous times. Our message was simple: government has to work! That means delivering on affordable housing, high quality public transit, and public safety. This message resonated throughout all corners of the county, and it is what I plan to continue working for on the council. I know Executive-Elect Zahilay will too in his administration.”

Call each Senator (both GOP + 7 Dems + 1 Indy) or write emails.

Send them a redacted copy of ur crazy bill!

Guilt-trip them w/ stories of woe and case studies for ppl suffering due to ACA subsidies not being extended.

This will be a continuous enterprise until the end of their terms.

I hate being in my 30s getting mad at the news first thing in the day. I was supposed to be a creative person waking up at noon to ponder the meaning of art and life and how I'll ever write the next great novel if I can't finish one shitty one, not thinking about the end of the US.

No Labels' actual track record:
- Killed Build Back Better
- Blocked filibuster reform
- Gutted progressive priorities
- Then call it "reasonable compromise"

Sound familiar? That's what happened yesterday.

The language gives it away too:

"Overplaying our hand" = surrender
"Waiting won't help" = accept defeat
"Pragmatic" = whatever donors want
"Not perfect but..." = voting against you

It's not individual weakness. It's institutional training.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:
I'm sorry, I know this is not your problem, but I just felt like screaming into a void seeing that now Dems may cave and end the shutdown without getting anything they were supposedly fighting for. We've been put through hell for weeks, constantly having our ability to simply feed ourselves dangled in front of our faces, our survival used as a bargaining chip, told it was for a reason. Our suffering would prevent even more suffering and that it would be temporary and worth it to save healthcare for millions. And now it's all for nothing. They stood for nothing. They caused suffering for no reason. They'll cause even more suffering for no reason. It wasn't 40 million people starving that made them cave. They were willing to put up with that. But the threat of holiday traveling being disrupted seems to be the thing to push them to give in. They have failed everyone. I'm so angry.

I'm so thankful for queer people who draw porn. Because it's almost exclusively queer erotica that depicts genuine desire and lust for different types of bodies. Body hair, scars, rolls and folds, all of it. Queer Erotic is profoundly healing in the most intimately human way I can imagine.

I’ve been keeping up with my daily comics but the last few days have been more me working through my own shit, today is more fit for public consumption.
One panel comic between a woman doing a headstand and a snake cat Cat: you’re really sucking it at finding any sort of balance, aren’t you Woman: well, I’m killing this headstand Cat: you can’t actually do a headstand, this is just a drawing Woman: I did an job drawing this headstand, that must count for something Cat: not so much

As others have said, we all need to be clear on the fact that what is happening in Chicago is a preview of what they are planning for all blue cities.

Especially as midterms approach.

They will tear gas us at the polls and say, oh, this isn't voter suppression. It's just business as usual.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…
