Joe Biden will never see the things you say about him, but your friends who are trying desperately to hold onto a position of power in a crumbling democracy sure will.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

Can you imagine spending your one wild and precious life defending Al Franken in 2024? There’s a new season of the Bear to watch! There’s a video of Travis Kelce on stage at the Eras tour! Weed is basically legal!

The States Project is one of the best bang-for-your-buck options for your campaign donations. Even beyond it, though, state legislatures deserve your attention. Next time you're tempted to send money to whoever's going to lose to MTG, send it instead to a contested state leg seat.

When asked what he would do to improve Americans' ability to afford child care, Trump responded that Joe Biden is the worst president in the history of the country. For his part, Joe Biden responded by saying "no I am not." And now we can all afford child care!

social security becoming insolvent is not a real problem yet it has been a concern only during presidential debates since the 90s. eliminate the cap and we’ll never have to worry, and that’s the whole deal.

If you want to contact your politicians about mask ban bills, here's a template. Necessary change points like titles & name of addressees are highlighted yellow, but feel free to adjust as needed. If bills are already introduced in your area, consider including their exact legislative ID if you can.

you actually have to do it a bunch - you do it once at the in person audition, and again when you’re filling out all the paperwork and at least one other time in the process. ahead of taping, the producers talk you through the stories they think will be used, but ultimately, it was trebek’s call.

Phew - Gonzalez seemed pretty safe, glad to see it confirmed. Up here, I’m keeping an eye on the Bowman-Latimer race and early voting in Westchester has a 2 to 1 lead for Latimer. Fingers crossed he can make that up in the Bronx.

Latimer knows that everyone knows what he means by his "results, not rhetoric" slogan and his accusations that Bowman has "his own agenda," but it's still so funny that if you take it at face value, he's saying it's bad for politicians to have agendas and explain those agendas through rhetoric

I see that the Foo Fighters just kicked off their UK tour, so it's time to drag out my "Why I Hate Dave Grohl" thread. TL;DR: The Foo Fighters funded AIDS denialist groups from 1999-2007 that lobbied to deny people life-saving medication. They have never acknowledged the deaths they caused.

exoneration doesn’t always result in expunged records, either. the difference, though, is that exonerees go to tremendous lengths to demonstrate they are actually innocent of a specific act, whereas you’re Mad Online because you did a racism.
