Have to assume that whatever Chicho Arrango said was either racist or homophobic or both and was also bad enough that all parties are keeping it completely under wraps even a few days later. Seems not good! #RSL

Some people are marks and you don't have to be one. Rightwingers DO NOT believe that violence is not warranted. They believe that only they should be able to wield it.

Remember when you could just turn on the tv and it would show you the thing you wanted? Instead of having to scan a dumb QR code and sign in every fucking time?

This is what I keep coming back to If the Dems didn’t have such a hard-on for Norms, I’d be sort of okay with a “replace Biden” movement, because they’d just steamroll ahead But as things are, the GOP will just bog them down in bullshit

Do you believe they’ve done *any* legal discovery to determine if it even can be done and keep ballot access to all 50 states yet? Meanwhile right wing billionaires have lawyers at the ready to contest such a call and tie them up in the courts with even more fatal delays.

idk what the right thing to do is but it's pretty telling to me that the people in politics who I respect like AOC and Bernie are saying "we gotta make sure the leaky rowboat doesn't sink" and the people drilling holes in the bottom are like, Scott Peters

Like my feeling since Biden wrapped up the nomination has been that Biden is a leaky rowboat we've all been crammed into, and while being on a leaky rowboat sucks I'm rooting for it not to sink and annoyed at the other people on the boat who are seemingly determined to drill more holes in it.

Screenshot of a small section of the forward #Project2025 focusing on what they want to do with educators and library folk who have "pornography" on their shelves

Think I am going to watch some Jazz summer league and come up with some unhinged opinions just to remember what twitter was like.

There was lead in EVERY tampon they tested. There was less lead in organic tampons, but those had higher concentrations of arsenic. Also fun: It's 2024. This is the first ever study testing metals in tampons. Great. 🙃 www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tox... Study: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

RSL being good really messes with my understanding of the universe.

You can tell RSL is tired, tired and that this is not our best line up.

Wild, that some people that look at Project 2025 and dismiss it, when 23,000 people in Texas had to birth their rapist’s baby last year, a parent has to sign an affidavit each time their child goes to the library in Idaho, and there’s an open war on Trans people. Folks in red states are living it.

Awwww. Andy Murray is making me tear up.

I took my frustration and spent far too long channeling it into a bit of a toolkit for folks that feel frustrated and hopeless, who don't know where to start when it comes to systems change. It's really kind of a braindump, I'd love any comments or feedback. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This is one of the most dystopian signs I've ever seen. Republicans are quickly turning this country into an unrecognizable freakshow.

I wrote this in 2020 in reaction to the George Floyd protest. I'm a Science journalist at heart and so whenever I have a question I'm always looking for data. I was looking for a gut check.

It’s time to change the way the media reports on protests. Here are some ideas.www.niemanlab.org "People kept sharing these videos that were coming up and it was unambiguous what was going on. We weren't looking at a stream of videos of violence erupting or clashes breaking out. We were looking a...

Maybe England should stop just kicking the ball as hard as they can and praying it goes into the goal?
