Her 60 second ad cost more to make than Sinners, One Battle After Another, and every other Oscar nominee other than Brad Pitt's FI.

It's hard to imagine a large percentage of that money didn't end up in their pockets.

A study of social media content 18-24-year olds see in #Finland, #France and #Romania shows that algorithms overwhelmingly feed them right-wing political content - whether or not the users are interested.

Three country average for right wing content was 58% - in Finland, 67%!

If you’re in California β€” this is worth 2 min of your time.

Great explainer of the 2026 California Jungle Primary

The last day to register to vote for the June 2nd Primary Election is May 18, 2026.

We can not, I repeat, CAN NOT let a Republican become governor of our state.

This goes without saying, blue state officials need to figure out how to get people out of cars and beef up renewables β€” fast.

Because red states, leveraging their access to flat land and various federal policies, have quietly built up their renewable energy capacity

All of this. We're bereft without learning for learning's sake, and learning how to think, how to be human, how to be a citizen of this fragile place.

having flashbacks to the NY-10 primary where too many progressives split the vote and we ended up with Dan Goldman.

some folks who actually give a damn about keeping fascists out of power need to drop the hell out.
