@Alex_Kozora THANK YOU! One thing I have noted is that sports people have not been moving off this platform. Your account is one of the reasons I'm still on here...

Still on Twitter but made if anyone wants to follow on here, I made an account last night and will do my best to cross-post.

@BillyRay5229 LOL

Morbidly Obese Trump Boys Regret Eating So Many Ballots theonion.com/morbidly-obese…

@cmclymer I’m really sorry. There are way more of us than of them.

It really fucking sucks to watch any sports event as a trans person right now because of the Trump commercials, and I just need everyone to know that: yes, we do see the ads, and it's demoralizing to know this entire subset of people sees us as subhuman.

@latguild Respectfully disagree. As a long time subscriber I feel obligated to voice my disgust with the owner’s decision in the way that will actually get his attention. I look forward to subscribing again once this decision is reversed.

A statement from Los Angeles Times Guild leadership:

@Blitz_Burgh I was really enjoying the Steelers as one of the last purely non-political things I love. I hate seeing all the MAGA shit having anything to do them.

MAGA lady taking the field. #Steelers #NFL x.com/MrStevenSteele…

@ThatEricAlper Slow horses

What show hooked you on the first episode?

@RebeccaSolnit Given you are generally immune to hyperbole, the fact that you are terrified makes me a lot more terrified.

@RebeccaSolnit That’s just incredible. Terrifying.

@RebeccaSolnit So FORTY inches of rain fell in a day??? I did not think that was possible

@RealLyndaCarter @GeeksForHarris That is a crazy amazing result—congratulations!!

Thank you all for joining us at @GeeksForHarris last night. We raised over $511,000 for the Harris Victory Fund during our Battle of the Fandoms!

@Steelersdepot It better be 8-0 because post bye their schedule is brutal

With the Steelers now 3-0, what will the team's record be at their bye week. #Steelers #NFL #HereWeGo

@DougJBalloon Excellent thread. My short take is that the NYT are either cowards or don’t see the catastrophic threat that MAGA represents. I’m guessing the former.

This may be even more incoherent and typo-ridden than usual. I wrote it while monitoring my six-year-old's Minecraft video intake.

(1/X) I hate doing these, but I feel like I'm being baited to do so. A few days ago Maggie H did an interview where she complained criticism of her reporting, James Fallows answered back (mentioning this account) and Jon Chait and some Reason bro took a shot at Fallows for...

@Mike_Podhorzer This is an excellent article. I thought your 2020 analysis was the single best post-election data piece I've read. I wish more pundits read your work.

So, tonight—and every day from now until November 5—the job of the Harris campaign (and those of us in civil society who want to prevent American autocracy) is to make sure voters fully understand the serious threat posed by this unserious man. For more: weekendreading.net/p/about-that-t…

Here’s what I’m thinking about ahead of tonight’s debate. Harris has done a tremendous job of consolidating the DEMOCRATIC coalition. But the ANTI-MAGA coalition she needs to win is bigger than that. These aren’t the “swing voters” you’re used to hearing about who can’t decide if they want Trump or Harris. Rather, they are mostly new and infrequent voters who will only turn out if they think their freedoms are at stake. Let’s imagine two infrequent voters, Tom and Susan, and what might motivate them to vote vs. stay home:

@Maggie_Klaus Good one!!!

When is Dick Cheney hosting the “Hunters Who Accidentally Shot Their Friends in the Face for Harris” group call?

@SenGillibrand Thank you, Senator, for helping the grassroots.

Our momentum keeps growing. New Yorkers are ready to hold the Senate, flip the House, and pass the ERA!

@christopherhale I think I have scurvy and gout. It’s been a hell of a week

I haven't eaten a single vegetable in Chicago.

@Mariah_Craven That’s my guess too

@lxeagle17 If the polls don’t move over the next 2 weeks I’ll believe it. I think the dems will win comfortably in Nov barring a major surprise.

Basically everything we're getting indicates a 2020 repeat. It's likely to be an extremely close election, with marginal movement towards either side overall. Texas was R+5.5 in 2020, so this is entirely consistent with that.

@mjfree Literally everyone

Who’s Team Gus??? 💙💙💙

@JRubinBlogger This is a great analysis

It has become evident during convention week that Democrats are blessed with three groups of leaders. The wise first group — Hillary Clinton, the Obamas, former speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and now Biden — has guided the party for the past generation, nationally making strides and keeping the Democratic coalition together. The domestic accomplishments they have collectively made would stand up to any other generation’s output. The second group’s time has come: Harris, Gov. Tim Walz (Minn.), Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Raphael G. Warnock (Ga.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.), Gov. Josh Shapiro (Pa.). They are more media savvy than many in the older generation and better able to reach voters who are younger and more diverse. This second group’s challenge will be putting a stake through the MAGA movement and charting a path forward for a sustainable, center-left governing majority. The third, and most interesting, group includes the future stars, two of whom (Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) and Jasmine Crockett (Tex.)) lit up the convention on Monday night. Other less flashy but equally compelling figures have the governing chops to win legislative battles and keep the party from straying too far left. These include Rep. Abigail Spanberger (Va.), who is running for governor; Rep. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.), who is running for Senate; Rep. Mikie Sherrill (N.J.); and Rep. Dan Goldman (N.Y.), who distinguished himself by going toe-to-toe with Republicans who ineptly and corruptly tried to investigate the Bidens. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
