I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

It's Election Day! Get out there & vote (if you haven't already)!

Also, in addition to the Missoula City Council races, here are some other results I'll be tracking:

- NYC Mayor
- Seattle Mayor
- Virginia Governor
- New Jersey Governor

If there are any races you're watching, let me know as well!

What an honor to be highlighted in @nymag.com alongside so many wonderful folks in politics.

Special shoutout to @annaforflorida.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, and @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social, who have all been amazing friends in this political journey.

Let's do some good out there 😭

The loss of the politics staff at Teen Vogue is an absolute travesty.

In a media marketplace that has been decimated by billionaires, tepid takes, and AI slop, Teen Vogue often stood out as a bastion of principled, purposeful journalism.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

Fun fact: We passed a bill in Montana that makes this kind of attack ad illegal.

HB 513 is a bill that gives individuals the rights to their likeness and allows you to sue anyone who creates digital fabrications of your likeness.
This is an actual campaign ad by Andrew Cuomo.

It features an AI generated pregnant and feminized "bill."

Proud to have cast my vote for Daniel Carlino for Ward 3 in Missoula City Council!

This is probably the most important race in the city, as it is between someone actually on the left (Carlino) and a landlord/house-flipper masquerading as a progressive so she can protect her landlord money (Savage)

Casual reminder that this video is AI-generated.

Media literacy is going to have to start including ways to recognize artificial intelligence, as well as ways to identify & source factual material.

I know that feels hopelessly aspirational given the current state of things, but a girl can dream.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

As a trans woman who is proudly anti-fascist, I'm just wondering if Trump designating me a terrorist TWICE cancels out?

Am I back to upstanding citizen? Or am I a SUPER DUPER terrorist?

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Bad endorsement from @petebuttigieg.bsky.social here.

As someone who spent 14 years living in Seattle, I can say that @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social is by far the better choice for Seattle mayor.

Just wait: Tylenol's gonna pay Trump $10M, and he's gonna come out next week saying that actually it's Advil that causes autism.

I did some sword training at Missoula Ren Faire today.

Now just don’t let the FBI see or they might label me a terrorist 🫠

So glad we've finally got a Ren Faire here in Missoula 😭

It was so much fun, and our kiddo even got to fight in an arena (with foam swords)

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

I don’t think people truly understand the ascendency of fascism in this country right now. This is an abhorrent, but not surprising, proposal given the rhetoric and actions of the Trump regime and its far right supporters.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.
We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.
