Canceling #spotify today, got a free trial of Deezer so far so good. Used Tune My Music to transfer the playlists, took a monthly sub to get it done. Worth every penny so far.

Mid terms are November 3rd 2026. Go register voters. @usrbinr.bsky.social · 2d

excited to cancel my #spotify subscription today. What is the consensus? tidal? soundcloud? apple music?

Comer is the new Accidental Ally for universal healthcare

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."

We stood up for healthcare but all this advocating was getting tiring so we sat down again.

Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

From the article -

“I think we need to heed what the voters are telling us — they want us to focus on pocketbook issues, which is part and parcel of how Trump got elected in the first place,” Nicholas said. “Perhaps we have run enough ads on the trans issue for a while.”

Democrats swept elections far beyond the big races in referendum on Trump

Beyond the big governors and New York mayor contests, Democrats on Tuesday flipped city councils, school boards and county commissions.

Lesley Ryder column in the Guardian US edition rightly dismisses the NY Post op ed from Elizabeth Eddy.

Angel City’s Elizabeth Eddy was rebuked by her own teammates for an op-ed on trans players. It’s easy to understand their objections

Chaos. ISP just made a charge, pushing people back east toward 25th Ave., right into cars pulling out of the parking lot. I hear people talking about arrests but it's too dark to see. People panic, run.

This is such a thorough take down of Bari Weiss and the vapid shill she is for oligarch billionaires. He especially shreds the Free Press over it's coverage of trans issues and the so called whistleblower Jamie Reed.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social showing how to answer a bad faith question from an interviewer.

Willful ignorance should be met with clarity in support. It shines a light on Morgan's clear bigotry, and not let him use trans rights as a punchline.

Thank you, Zack for being blunt and straightforward with the willfully ignorant.

Keep pushing the message that people are more than just body parts.
