In case you were wondering where I stand

- trans rights + affordable healthcare are human rights
- pride was a riot
- gender is a spectrum
- climate change is real
- vaccines save lives
- tr*mp is a facist
- free Palestine
- no human is illegal
- when the 4th estate bends democracy breaks
sometimes it helps to have a little external reminder of what you're capable of.

ty @kvlly.com, @matty.wtf + @natalyathree.bsky.social for providing it this week.

Next, let’s stop paying for Cuomo to legally hound Lindsey and the other women he’s harassed so they can truly be done with him.

Somewhere I heard that 9% of New Yorkers were planning to leave if mamdani wins.

You can go now. don’t let me stop you.
Alright Dave Portnoy and Bill Ackman time to leave New York City and never return like you promised

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

There are so many people who've had a hand in this historic moment, but one person I'm so grateful for is @lindseyboylan.bsky.social. Your courage and your conviction opened a door for so many people and so many futures, and this is one amazing reality you had such a vital role in making possible.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

People that spread misinformation suck.

I don't care what your cause is, or what team you're on.

it is weirdly shocking that he can just ... tear down a big chunk of the White House. Like, motherfucker, you don't *own* the place.
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

worried you're not getting your heart rate up enough?

get mad at watching what exactly (isn't) happening in the senate right now.

don't tell me that republicans want to "come together" when they're missing from the senate.

Democracy cannot function if the media refuses to highlight material government lies IN THE HEADLINES.

9th, 10th, 12th? Might as well not bother. That’s just burying it while trying to establish “but we noted it!” deniability.

Need lot of post-MAGA politics fixes, yes. But a ton of media ones too.

Not going to lie the recent improvements of audio transcription is wild.

Being able to dictate something and have our robot overlords transcribe it and clean it up has helped me significantly with tasks I’m not a fan of.
