I want to watch the Lisa Frank expose but my childhood got throat chopped by the Nickelodeon shit and really idk if I can something like that again.

GOPers like Rep. Buddy Carter are talking about budget cuts and how we’ll need to cut Medicare/Medicaid but not in ways that “will be felt.” However, defense spending “can’t” be cut… Fascinating how there’s all these ways to cut spending from public programs that won’t be felt, but not from defense.

No conservative outrage about @wafflehousereal.bsky.social putting “Happy Holidays” on their mugs vs the way they reacted to Starbucks cups. 😧 B/c they are more likely to scrutinize and criticize things seen as culturally left. We gotta learn to work with this, not against it!

We gotta stop talking about “running to the left” as being synonymous with running on identity politics, because regular folks not in our political bubble draw a major distinction between economic progressivism/populism and idpol.

Personally I don’t think Biden pardoning Hunter is morally egregious, but I do think it’s a serious tactical misstep.

Idk who needs to hear this but posting your small child crying with Santa isn’t funny, it’s honestly sad and incredibly toxic behavior.

In other news, water is wet.

Some man posted this to be spiteful but unfortunately for him he just gave all us 30something women a new goal to aspire to.

It’s pretty clear from election data that reproductive rights didn’t mobilize women like we thought. One reason for this that isn’t talked about enough is many women couldn’t even afford an abortion if they were legal. A pro-working-class message must underpin every other message to be effective.

One of the biggest reasons the right has been more successful than the left in framing discourse is b/c the right invests heavily into think tanks (ex: Heritage Foundation) whereas the left invests more in orgs that provide direct services (ex: Planned Parenthood). To win, we have to do BOTH.

As former rave kid, most folks used whatever bathroom line was shorter, or whichever bathroom was cleaner. No one cared. We looked out for each other and loved each other. If 20 year olds can understand this, surely our legislators can too.

OOF! Matt Gaetz is OUT!

Grateful to Senator Warnock for his moral clarity. Tonight Georgia sent a clear message that we value upholding international humanitarian law.

Chris Carr is officially running for GA Governor. Considering the MAGA names being floated to run too, this race likely is gonna be another instance of GOP mainstream vs Trumpism. Dems better be ready to take advantage of the infighting that’s coming. #gapol

Following closely the potential Trump Ag picks. Lots of pro-Big Ag names on the list - sad but unsurprising. I’m no RFK fan, but his stances on sustainable ag are solid; if he and a Big Ag person are both confirmed… time to break out the non-GMO popcorn. 😆

People say certain acts of resistance - like putting out a pride flag - aren’t “safe.” Well most of us only have rights b/c other people were willing to lay down their lives for them. So you’ve got 2 choices - be brave, or mooch off the victories attained by the brave. I know which one I’m doing.

Just because someone gave a good speech or your friends like them doesn’t mean they ran a good campaign. Normally I’m all for handing out compliments like candy, but this shit is important, so if you lack sufficient info to formulate an educated opinion, you can just… not have one.

If you’re not already planning for #2025 municipals, you’re already behind. #gapol
