Even in the wake of Citizens United, there *is* a point at which a vastly bigger paid media war chest does not necessarily correlate with winning.
That is something worth remembering and studying about tonight and the Wisconsin state supreme court race.

Since the NBA season ended last night, here's my self indulgent take on where Sports Bluesky is atm. The TLDR is that crappy Resistance accounts are working like antibodies to flush casual sports ppl off this platform and the devs should address this if they actually want sports to take off here.

Democrats need to get up to speed on crypto and understand it as nothing less than a threat to the rule of law, and nation states themselves. There is no 'political compromise' to be had here.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.
Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

I will remind everyone that tear gas is an abortifacient and hormonal disruptor.
In 2020 we were trying to conceive.
The day after getting teargassed, I bled worse than I ever had in my entire life.
My periods were not regular for about 6 months after.

🚨BIG STORY: Senators put a line into the crypto bill requiring bankrupt banks to prioritize remunerating crypto investors over depositors.
The provision could require banks to take cash from your savings account & use it to pay senators' crypto donors.

Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds.
This puffin is trying to fit in with his new friend by standing on one leg.
Seabird peer-pressure can be intense.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.
