So I've been pushing for several months for the City of Falls Church, Virginia to adopt an anti-discrimination measure to protect LGBTQ people in the city. Late last night, it passed. Today, the State Senate Majority leader is giving me a shout out. I'm so happy and so proud.

A uniquely horrible aspect of being in my 30s is discovering that suits that fit me in my 20s no longer fit me and the ensuing urge to just end it all

I don't live in LA, but for those who do, I'd encourage a vote for Nithya Raman. She's far better on housing, which is LA's #1 issue, and more braodly Bass does not deserve to be re-elected.

We should remind politicians even in deeply partisan areas they can be held to account.

@gskehalhga81781 @transitnerdery @BrandonHarami @USProgressives @GregCasar @PramilaJayapal Wiener’s support for Israel up until very recently isn’t great but to compare him to Fetterman bonkers. He’s extremely progressive and has worked to end the rich NIMBY stranglehold on San Francisco

@snltang If there is better or funnier TV out there than the Queen of Jordan 30 Rock episodes, I have not seen it

When I tell Andy Ogles to choke on my dick, it’s not cause I think he’ll secretly like it!

[Wool Council Spokesman @peacochran]

@RepOgles Why don’t you choke on my dick

[Wool Council Spokesman @peacochran]

I need straight people in this asshole’s replies to stop saying he’s secretly gay. That shit sucks! Homophobes are not all secretly gay! Gay people are not responsible for our own fucking oppression! Believe it or not, the vast majority of anti-gay hatred comes from heteros

@RepOgles Why don’t you choke on my dick

[Wool Council Spokesman @peacochran]

@jared_shult It’s actually extremely offensive to suggest a gay person would wear clashing patterns like that. This is Pride month, show some damn respect for the community

[Wool Council Spokesman @peacochran]

@johnric42104881 @xtrmlygoodlooks @JoePostingg No it’s not?

[Wool Council Spokesman @peacochran]

I don’t think your name determines anything about the kind of person you’ll be or the things you’ll do, but having said that it makes sense that the guy who came up with this idea is named Markwayne

Exclusive: The DHS secretary told travel executives that he’s serious about curbing international flights to U.S. airports in cities with “sanctuary” policies, which could force airlines to re-route and inflict economic pain, @NickMiroff reports. https://t.co/pcET314Qiu

@shannonrwatts It’s actually not hard to see the difference here when you think about it for two seconds. Platner is the Dem candidate for a critical senate seat Dems must win to have any shot at the majority. Pratt is one of several people running for Mayor, and there are better options

@kevicss @nytimes So you think that taxpayers should be forced to make the billionaire president even richer while they are stuck dealing with higher gas and grocery prices because of a war that same dipshit billionaire decided to start?

Marjorie Taylor Greene is not someone anyone should trust.

She’s a bigot who hates Black, Hispanic, Asian and Jewish Americans. She’s now reverting back to lying about how to treat viral infections. She has not changed.

You’re so mad at AOC you’re propping up a literal Nazi.

Say what you will about L.A. but it absolutely *bodies* every other city on Earth when it comes to having good doughnut shops and that’s so important

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Dems keep fighting (and sometimes winning) the last war.

In 2010 they had no plan to stop the (quite predictable) GOP strategy of maximizing midterm wins to lock in favorable maps for a decade. Only solution: Independent commissions, in states where you can petition that onto the ballot.*

In MI, CO, NY, and VA, where they kept not having the majorities during decennial redistricting cycles, they put independent commissions in place. Problem solved!

Oops! Ahead of the 2021 redistricting process, they actually had trifectas in CO/NY/VA. But they couldn't gerrymander anymore. (In MI they won a trifecta in 2022.)

So they're trapped by a "good government" reform they were able to enact in blue states or purple states that they ended up making bluer.

*ie, not states like North Carolina, where the (gerrymandered) GOP legislature decides what's on ballot
