I am genuinely struggling with whether to rank anyone other than my top choice. Should I do that to stop our local orange man by some freak accident?

In retrospect I shouldn't be surprised that people fall for AI because for years they've fallen for non AI fundraising pleas. Oh well the DCCC says it's a 4x match so I really need to give now! No papa, they're just saying that and the 4x match amount was already committed anyway.

Ok time for me to actually do my taxes now

She definitely lives in Dallas, but I agree not sure she'd want that. But I also don't know what her options are as she decided to not run for house again, and there's only so many places for a dem to land.

Genuinely, I hope Jasmine Crockett runs for Dallas mayor. Current mayor is a turncoat Republican who got elected as a dem then switched parties. She would absolutely trounce him.

Tired but can't sleep because my tummy hurts because I'm a dumb dumb who ate delicious things I knew would make my tummy hurt. Woe is me (for doing this to myself).

Yikes, and "shockingly" (predictably) it's not even accurate. NCTE and TLDEF combined into A4TE and that's helmed by Andrea Hong Marra who is not Jewish.

Spelling errors usually means no AI. My guess is that it's just a bad translation considering you had to pay for it in €

@birdcrime.bsky.social happy birthday!

Thank you so much @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social for being the responsible adult and taking action to safeguard DC taxpayers. Council waffling on whether to obey in advance is disheartening and I'm glad you are doing something.

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

I definitely don't think you'd be hurting if you took the day. On 1/20 here in DC about 2000 people walked out from 1-3pm to protest the 1 year anniversary of the Trump admin. I think if you stopped work and then also went out to protest that would be helping. If you were like an ER doc, maybe diff

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

And then for a shorter read www.bbc.com/future/artic... But the idea of a general strike is one of the non cooperation tactics. I don't think the idea is an immediate throughline of strike = ice goes away now, but it's leading up to building a movement to stop the entire thing.

Not sure if you're asking earnestly, but the idea is that if 3.5% of the population engages in strategic non cooperation, and a larger percentage is sympathetic, that can change governments. It's based on research by Erica Chenowith cup.columbia.edu/book/why-civ...

Oh ya it's amazing, can also do it with music, ok I can hear this song exactly, oh and now I can hear it played by a flute choir. Honestly my mind's eye is incredibly vivid and I can visualize and hear almost anything I want. It's more exciting than the real world sometimes lol

Quite the pre-Thanksgiving news: Mayor Muriel Bowser will not seek a fourth term in office. That's a huge opening a mayoral race that still doesn't have any major candidates in it, but with possible entries from Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George and At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie.

I genuinely was going to vote for you and supported you for mayor, but at this point I should vote for EHR again. DC needs a fighter and this statement is absolute trash. Health insurance premiums are going to skyrocket and that's ok because Rs held snap hostage?

So I have family in Sioux Falls and the Tea tea is that it's a conservative suburb where the population has exploded and now they have to build schools and infrastructure and now they're all complaining about high property tax bills to fund their growth.
