If you feel overwhelmed, remember that you can still make a difference doing little things. A compliment or word of encouragement, a tip to a favorite takeout place, a donation to a local charity, an email to your favorite author, time with a pet, a walk outside, or a phone call to a loved one.
How can we be surprised the Democrats sold us out. Again.
jfc I hate this guy. STOP pushing him as a presidential candidate!!

Gavin Newsom vetoed a data broker privacy bill that our legislature passed last year that would have allowed Californians to opt out of all data brokers with a single click.
Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids.
Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.
Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales
Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.
I'm so angry.
The cover of Atlas shrugged with the phrase Ayn Rand: it’s totally OK to be a douchebag
These days It takes an extreme amount of effort to become one of the most hated men in America, but you can’t deny that Gavin Newsom is putting in the work
LET'S DO THIS!
Don't rank Cuomo AT ALL, friends. Rank five other real Democrats instead.
What’s wild is it’s not just a thing that happened in history, it’s the sole reason we have tamper resistant packaging on OTC medication. Major societal change.
The best time to get rid of your doorbell camera was as soon as you bought it, the second best time is right now.
Absolute nightmare. I’m sorry.

I just genuinely don't know how you reduce police power in this country. I feel like money and resources have gone up for them my whole life. If you say they should get any less, you're immediately labeled a crazy person
Get fucked @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
The only thing Pete Hegseth keeps classified is how he still has a job.
We told you that antiporn "age-verification" laws wouldn't stop at Pornhub.
Texas legislators are now proposing that conservative parents can now sue bookstores, movie theaters, LGBTQ events, health fairs, art galleries, museums for exposing their children to material "harmful to minors"

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.
Oh she is breathtaking!
I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.
reposting with alt text because what in the fuck, Mike White.
I can’t compete with this
I'm seeing a lot of cynical reactions to this move from Cory Booker. And I get it!! But performative opposition is a necessary part of effective opposition from the minority. Not sufficient, but necessary. And our electeds need to know we notice when they do well and not just when they do poorly.
