Yep. Testing the waters. If your response is, "Oh, HELL no" you'll be accused of being insufficiently patriotic. πŸ™„

I always vote early. I pick a convenient day, & give myself time to review a sample ballot online first. Too many Election Day horror stories (esp. long lines) here in Texas for me to trust that day-of option. If there's bad weather or some kind of glitch during early voting, I still have ... 1/2

in fairness that's not exactly DoD's job on paper, but that's also why you have an interagency involving State and others that scopes the bounds for a conflict which are transmitted from the APNSA to SD; this is what happens when instead of that you have 3 marcos rubio in a trenchcoat

W/n last 48 hrs 4 families received notifications that forever changed their lives. 2 more will shortly; their unit is still very much in the fight. It is impractical to expect protection everywhere, but we should expect leaders to talk about the gravity of these losses with sincerity and reverence.

Here are 4 districts the TX GOP gerrymandered to gain seats in November, with the Dem and GOP primary vote. Dems outvoted GOPs in every one of them.

Order confirmed this morning for some @jamestalarico.bsky.social Senate race merch. James was my Texas House Rep. till the Republicans gerrymandered him out of my district. No matter, he won in his new district, too. Good luck with your messy runoff, R's. πŸ˜ƒ

Just imagining Crenshaw and MTG meeting up in a sad hotel bar in Northern Virginia after a lame MAGA-autograph conference and getting sad drunk and one of them saying, We really had it all, didn’t we?

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

This β€œit’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…

I mean when has a hopeful moment of popular uprising against a despised regime ever given way to a new revolutionary government that came to be just as corrupt and repressive and sclerotic as the one it replaced. Certainly never before in Iran.
