Gavin Newsom's closet is so full of skeletons it's like a goddamn ray harryhousen retrospective in there, will someone please crank up the floodlights, it'd be so tedious watching his scandals dribble out during a primary, just nip this thing in the bud

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now.
If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

Tim Kaine is probably the most prominent elected official talking about the very real threat and struggle of long COVID and he just consigned millions to being screwed with ACA subsidies expiring.
Sen. Kaine on his vote for funding deal
“I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct. 1, because I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed federal worker would say to me at church”

Zohran has proved definitively that any true success of the left within the party is due to organizing outside and despite it. the best we can hope for is that he will help rip it apart from within and inspire people to redirect our energies back into their communities

trans and sex worker solidarity is even more vital than trans and gay solidarity, IMO, and certainly has been a whole fuck of a lot more reliable over the years. Betraying it is *immensely* stupid.

The thing is that if you want to do this, you need sex workers, because sex workers are the ones who are always the most militant, who are always at the forefront of the struggle
And when people write books about retvrning to dworkin, you split the trans civilians from the sex workers

This also means that those of us they're trying to destroy need to treat the fight for trans survival like a war. Now.

Liberals joined conservatives to mainstream anti-vax beliefs about viruses and public health
Viruses are bad for kids' health. Public health is a collective effort. Liberals no longer believe either.

This is *unacceptable*

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI.
It was:
Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing.
it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

I'm seeing reports that "rude" is one of the labels that defaults not just to "warn" but to "hide", which is bonkers.
Be sure to go through the immediately visible labels, the ones where you have to click the "Bluesky moderation" labeler, _and_ the special "adult content" checkbox.
