“With so many marginalized communities, we’re basically the oracles…we’re the ones who see shit before it happens.” In June 2020, I interviewed Alice Wong for TVU before she lost her ability to speak. I asked her how she’d first learned of SARS-CoV-2. She began with the 2016 election of Trump:

here's the list i've always worked from but it requires you to watch certain episodes multiple times: bsky.app/profile/angr...
If you’re looking for something to do today that is who-related, might I suggest watching doctor who from River Song’s chronological order. Here is the list. You won’t be sorry. It will open your third eye. #riverwatch #doctorwho

NYT would really like for things to get back to normal already. Presumably so they can keep covering up various crimes

Look if you don't want a ruling class made of pedophiles the easiest way to do it is to make sure you don't have a ruling class! It's just that simple!

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

John Fetterman’s memoir comes out on Tuesday, so if the phone calls don’t work you can always tell him how you feel while he’s on book tour.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

These people are going fuckin nuts partying over a guy who campaigned on affordable housing, and subsidized childcare and busses. Like c’mon man. There is a very obvious path forward to fight the horrors. Praying the right people realize that

Major win in Arlington County Public Schools, with pro-trans Moe Bryant dominating the election. Arlington County Public Schools has made headlines for defying the Trump admin on trans kids in bathrooms.

Another often overlooked but important election.

Loudoun County Public Schools has been ground zero for targeting by the Trump administration over trans students, and chose to protect their students.

Pro-trans candidates Chandler and Svenson are winning, and anti-trans Munoz-Melendez is losing.
