Called my senators and told them not to cave. No reopening without the ACA subsidies. No "promise for a promise" either.
Just called my senators @gallego.senate.gov and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social telling them to vote no on any Senate deal that does not guarantee ACA subsidy extension and a "potential vote to extend" is a no-go. Also if they vote yes, I will gladly vote for any primary candidate that runs against them.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

The fact magic hasn’t been screaming from the rooftops that there are event based achievements around Yargle is marketing malpractice. I had no clue this was happening and would grind it so hard. And thing is, I opened arena earlier and didn’t know about it. I did the yargle day arena event.

If BlueSky is doing this I may just call it a quit on this whole social media thing. I’m sick of hoping around.
Hey folks: Everyone's favorite lil internet scamp @BugsMaytrix just caught a fucking @bsky.app ban

@chriskmooney.bsky.social I’m not sure if you’re allowed to answer this, but what determines whether combined creatures in avatar use hyphens or not in their names? Or whether their names are 1 or 2 words? Was that something wotc had to figure out or did Avatar Studios have rules for them?

With all the crap going on, reminder that posting online isn't the same thing as taking action, and there's a ton of places with important state and local elections coming up you could be helping with right now. Get involved locally, ASAP.

This is so important. It’s not enough to resign due to improper action, you have to make sure the world knows why. Good on them.
And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

OMG. This post is from the fucking White House?!

I am shocked that I can still be shocked.
The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

Magic Story fans who hate following main characters: Please don't watch this Spotlight Series. I'm crying and shaking. Denver is literally being treated as a cheap backdrop, no slice of life, everything is focused on LSV and Reid.

The only way forward, that I can see, requires both courage and collective action. If we’re not going to fight for our students and our scholarship, then what the hell are we doing anyway?

"I don't believe in healthcare, labor, and human dignity because I'm a Marxist, I believe in them because I was a waitress"

This is the only type of messaging that can win right now. Stop being repulsed by the working class or go join the republicans!!
AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

This is correct and must be understood in these terms. Imagining that there is any daylight between the people being targeted and you is a fool’s game. The situation is emergent and we need to mount an organized response
