This county, an hour from DC, has one of the biggest races for immigrants’ rights in the nation, imo. Make sure people know about it.

OMG I was sorting through some old bookmarks and clicked on the Smithsonian Zoo's Cheetah Cam link which I hadn't active in a long time. It turns out they have a cheetah who just had cubs on 10/5 and they are so cute. They're on the Den 1 stream right now.

Replies and QTs full of Good Liberals who can’t resist a quip about people getting what they deserve. To them this includes rural blue counties (there are plenty) people who don’t vote for him, can’t vote, immigrants, kids. Ugly on the inside, “in this house we believe” yard sign on the outside.

People block words and phrases related to things they don't want to see on Bluesky. Sometimes these are genuinely triggering things; sometimes it's just preference. Include a pic with no alt text, and you're forcing them to see blocked content.

have heard ppl comment that Ossoff/AOC is a dream ticket but they're resigning themselves to Newsom as a "better" (more realistic/"palatable") choice... how do we convince ppl to raise their standards for the democrats before/during the 2028 election cycle?

This is unutterably evil. Peter Aaby and Chrstine Stabell-Benn, the married pair of antivaxxers behind this fake "vaccine trial" have been lying about vaccines and their supposed "non-specific negative effects" for years. They should be run out of Africa on a rail. And RFK Jr needs to be impeached.

Very dystopian that on the article about a A.I. data center poisoning the air, there's a little rainbow A.I. chatbot button just lurking at the edge, waiting to poison the air some more to answer your banal question

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.

There are levels to the cruelty. Most are just catty and defensive of Taylor but then there are the ones who make death threats and call CPS on fans they disagree with

Swifties are super mean you have the right idea

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

I deeply appreciate your support

Democratic candidates pivoting to right wing positions in the general is one of the reasons Democratic voters don't trust the party.
