Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

People are saying there's no upside to this deal. Wait a second. Isn't the end of Chuck Schumer's political career an upside?

I wish politicians would just openly defend jorking it. Just rip off the sexual repression hegemony in one fell swoop.
Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Canada’s deficit is projected to rise by $17B, yet ordinary folks face cuts to essential services while the ultra-rich and corporations avoid billions in taxes. Closing loopholes and taxing offshore wealth could fully fund health care, housing, and education—proving the crisis is a political choice.
