Always said you were a woman’s man
More details and context about what being a woman math major in the early-2000s was like and why it was so damaging here:

I haven’t lived in IL-09 since college so it’s not my place to tell anyone who to vote for, but if I did, I would vote for Mike Simmons tomorrow.
I was supporting Biss until now. I don’t know Megan well at all, but we worked in the same building when we were law clerks and so we met a few times. I feel terrible for her.
Never let anyone tell you politics doesn't matter. Change is unimaginable until it's inevitable.
Champagne obviously should be champagne vinegar
Short answer is: thaw them, then poach them about a minute apiece in court-bouillon. Air-cool them, “pickle” in a mix of lemon juice and lemon slices, white or sweet onions, olive oil, champagne, garlic, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, mustard seed, and whatever other pickling spices you like
brother you have to ask if Elon knows the first thing about the people that made American “culture” globally dominant
Elon is, of course, openly racist and that is the purpose of this tweet, but this is a good reminder that he’s also dumb as rocks.
Of the things that the British Isles have contributed to the American project, “culture” is not one. Gotta thank Black, Jewish, and Italian Americans for most of that
Yep, “the second” and the Second Amendment
the latter part is a real leopards eating faces moment for them
it is so funny that it is now apparently a bedrock principle of originalism that the unitary executive applies to everything except for the Federal Reserve which is different because we said so
There are a lot of reasons why I am running for Congress.
This scared-of-our-shadow nonsense in the face of a brutally repressive agency like ICE is one of them.
I will unapologetically fight to abolish ICE. Candidates like me cannot do it without your help. mattortega.com
Arsenal. You’ll love it, I promise.
The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting.
Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.
In case you weren't sure, no, Bari Weiss still hasn't cleared 60 Minutes (@60minutes.bsky.social) to air their piece on the Venezuelan men being tortured at CECOT.
Instead this week, it's humanoid robots, figure skater Alysa Liu, and a Dutch improv comedy troupe.
I’m going to have no choice but to wear sweatpants on tomorrow’s flight, aren’t I
it’s been 40 years waiting for the Republican health care plan, what’s a few more decades between friends
Dinosaur eat man . . . woman inherits the earth!
Obviously confused with the well known JFK aide and hanger-on, Dave Powers.
one strong statistical finding which has been commented upon somewhat less than I think it should, is that young women have extremely unfavorable views of the Republican Party
In the #CambMA municipal election, voters came out stronger for the School Committee vote than in prior years.
Typically turnout is only 90-92% of the Cambridge City Council turnout. This year it was 98%.
Did the SC vote end up influencing the CC result? A data anomaly suggests it's possible:
For the Netroots community, for everyone who knew @arjunjaikumar.bsky.social when he was a guy posting on DailyKos and SSP as "brownsox" who loved writing about elections, today is a joyous day as he's been elected to the Cambridge School Board with the strong backing of the local teachers' union.
you Winsome, you lose some
Happy Halloween!
Don’t forget to vote!!
For those voting in Cambridge's City Council elections, here's how I'd rank candidates:
#1 - Burhan Azeem
#2 - Marc McGovern
#3 - Dana Bullister
#4 - Ned Melanson
#5 - Patti Nolan
#6 - Sumbul Siddiqui
#7 - Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler
Don't rank: Simmons, Bisio, Hanratty, Hsu, Sherin, Wilson, Zusy
Incredible quotes from @arjunjaikumar.bsky.social.
Been extremely impressed by him over the course of the campaign.
One of the most clear eyed candidates for school committees.
Both able to bring together a wide coalition from the ALA to teachers union and good sense of what moves the needle.
Diversity doesn’t weaken unions. Racist bosses like Vance using racism to divide workers by race so they can exploit them weakens unions. All this stuff is arsonists complaining about the temperature in the building they set on fire. bsky.app/profile/diew...
Spanberger knocked off Dave Brat in 2018 after saying in debate
“I am not Nancy Pelosi…Abigail Spanberger is my name”
She never voted for Pelosi for Speaker
This is 4th campaign in a row GOP trying to make the connection
But doesn’t look like it will work this time either
This whole thread.
(Go vote, Cambridge! And please rank me No. 1 for school committee)
