Human. Cat dad. Gamer. Choose love not hate. We can get through this. He/him.
The right's propaganda machine is working hard to demonize candidates like @katmabu.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, but they represent the idea that America still has the potential to be a place that takes care of our neighbors and fights for those ideals on which we were founded.
Tomorrow marks the start of petitioning season!!!! And we need your help to collect as many signatures as possible to get on the ballot — and have fun while we do it.
From parties to livestreams to a punk concert, we've got a lot planned this month:

Take a shot:

"He's Guilty" of what?! Does Donald just not understand how the law works? Is that why he ignores it wherever it's convenient? He can't even come up with a coherent distraction from his increasingly obvious involvement in Epstein's child rape Ring.
REPORTER: Gabbard has submitted a criminal referral. Who should the DOJ target?
TRUMP: It would be President Obama. And Biden was there with him ... the leader of the gang was Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. He's guilty. This is treason.

My millennial ass is old enough to remember what a circus the Monica Lewinsky scandal was. The president cheated on his wife and that was enough to get him thrown out of office. If only the Dems had a tenth of that zeal and pursued justice for any one of Trump's many impeachable offenses.

Today's GOP: adulterers who bear false witness and covet their neighbors' property and take food from the hungry and steal from their contractors are favored by God over girls at a Christian summer camp.

The problem presented so clearly: Grok presenting demonstrably true facts and it being labeled "woke cuck libtard". These people cling to their fantasy world so hard, not even the most obvious truths will shake them loose.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

The change in grok happened so fast I wouldn't be surprised if they just hired some Nazi to reply to messages as grok. It's a typical Musk move, like that time he showed off his robot which was just some guy dancing in a robot suit.

This speech has never felt more appropriate. We will not allow fascism to annihilate the American experiment. We will not go quietly into the night. We're going to fight on. As MLK, one of the best Americans we've had, said "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice".
