After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

oh so when rfk jr has a worm in his brain it's "bad" but when dax has a slug in her she's "the most beautiful person i've literally ever seen in my life" and "early queer representation in television"

Well, yeah, they’re ICE for a reason. Because they can’t get employment elsewhere. Because they’re idiots, abusers and perverts.

Considering the usual suspects have advised us right into a fascist dictatorship, I'm gonna need them to shut the fuck up forever
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

When all is said and done, if we survive, we need to open a “Mainstream Media Hall of Shame” where posts like this will be framed on the wall so nobody forgets how we got here
“Appearing to close his eyes”

MODERN MAINSTREAM JOURNALISM LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
cnn.com CNN @cnn.com · Nov 9
Images of Donald Trump appearing to close his eyes at an Oval Office announcement this week rocketed around social media this weekend, with the president’s opponents seizing on the footage to raise questions about Trump’s on-the-job performance.

I’ve invented a new unit of measurement. It’s called the microgajillimeter. It’s an SI unit, of course. #Woodworking

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Love, Allison

The crazy thing about firing all of these federal employees is that they tend to be underpaid, super hardworking, in it for the right reasons, idealistic people who could’ve worked in industry or pharma and made way more money but they truly believed in the mission and the good they were doing.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke.

Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours.

Incredible.

Tonight I wrapped my arms around my 9yo & we watched @booker.senate.gov break Strom Thurmond's record. I told her what Thurmond's filibuster was against. We talked a bit about why Sen. Booker was protesting. When he passed 24h18m she kissed my cheek & I felt hope. For her. For us. Thank you Senator
