If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

Thread: Republicans won the Senate in 2024 despite Democrats winning more votes & representing more people nationwide.

Because if you, Harris County is still blue!
Last Tuesday night was a rough one – but because of you, Harris County is STILL BLUE! In the face of headwinds that saw Republicans make gains across the nation and in Texas, Harris County held the line and stood proudly BLUE. As Democrats, we’re all rightfully worried about what the national results means for our country, our family members, and our neighbors. But as Harris County Democrats reminded us Tuesday night, when we FIGHT, we WIN. Harris County Democrats took the fight from the top of the ballot where we stood firm in our support of Vice President Kamala Harris, to the bottom of the ballot where we re-elected our Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, and Harris County School Trustee Richard Cantu. We elected our new Democratic District Attorney Sean Teare and our new Democratic Tax Assessor/Collector Annette Ramirez, two hard working public servants who are ready to go to work on day one for all of us in Harris County. And in spite of a relentless, four-year, $40 million attack campaign funded by billionaire Republicans that targeted our Democratic Judges with the worst accusations and lies imaginable – Democrats still managed to win the majority of our judicial races in Harris County, and even put two new Judges overcoming tough challenges, Lillian Alexander and Fran Watson, on the bench. Those victories are the direct result of the millions of hours worked by our volunteers, precinct chairs, Democratic clubs and organizations, and Democratic candidates and officeholders to keep Harris County BLUE. With your help in the months ahead your Harris County Democratic Party will continue to fight against Republican attacks on our freedoms from Austin and from Washington, DC. We’ve got a lot of work to do –but with your help we’ll keep Harris County Blue for generations to come. Proud to be in the fight with you, Mike Doyle Chair, Harris County Democratic Party

Two things we've seen from Trump in the past week:
- Appointing superspreaders of misinformation to high office.
- Announcing that social media media platforms will no longer be allowed to act against misinformation.

It's going to be quite the ride.

I fear the U.S. government may actually collapse. When you look at who he’s picking, what they plan to do, who they plan to fire, how under-resourced and understaffed and perpetually anxious the remaining employees will be, how much institutional memory is being washed away, the utter lawlessness...

You should probably get used to hearing this word a lot over the next few years.

Now that Matt Gaetz is the nominee for AG, I feel like I’m gonna have to do a PSA on the differences between filler and Botox.
