What is fucking WILD is that Aaron Swartz was hounded to his death for using a script to liberate this same info, at smaller scale, for free use by students

I have adulted; I cleaned up the leaves in our driveway before it rains, and the ones on our front walk. I even moved some packages downstairs that were “pending” in the entryway.

exit polls were like "almost 40% of americans are explicitly angry with the direction of this country" like what else do you want here bud

“Mr. Jeffries, I'm one of the many people who voted Democrat this recent election and I want to be clear as one of your second-order constituents that one of the most important things I want the new Democrat Senate and House majority to do is to impose actual, concrete consequences for the damage done in the past two years. The DOGE destruction of American soft power, the constant violations of due process and rule of law, the naked corruption of the executive, all of them. "

Oh, hey, Hakeem Jefferies can be contacted directly.

https://jeffries.house.gov/contact/

It may be a good time to reach out to him directly to inform him that NOT pursuing justice is an abdication of their responsibilities and a violation of their respective oaths of office.

Hey Hakeem, I actually do want retribution. Retribution and consequences. I want that. That's why I voted for that. Dumbass.

If there are no consequences for the damage Republicans have done, the laws they've broken and the whole "naked attempt to supplant democracy with theocratic fascism" thing, then there's no reason whatsoever for them not to come back better funded in a few years and try again.

Representative Jeffries here has decided not to learn the single most important global political lesson of the last fifty years.

Be like Data.

I can’t wait for the day that we recognize that anti-LGBTQ parenting is just child abuse

A historic day for women, Native Americans, and Black Americans today, as well as for Muslim Americans.

We’ve taken the first step. From here, accountability and consequences must follow.

very annoyed at the transphobes in my fuckass blue state for sullying an otherwise lovely evening

This.

I feel hope about the country — the American Empire may be done, but we can at least be a good global citizen one day, if we learn from the past two years — but my adopted home state has chosen bigotry and cruelty to children in the service of transphobia and hatred, and that’s fucking awful.

this sure is a way for the group chat to discover, at 7 am for me and after midnight for many of them, that Mississippi is the only US state with no election recount laws whatsoever

Maine: Collins has conceded

Lookin’ good, y’all.

Let's get our fuckin' rights back

I'm going to be so annoying

This gay guy campaigning in a "Protect Trans Kids" shirt just ousted a 3-term Republican in the U.S. House in a deeply red district that hasn't been represented by a Democrat since 1990.

FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

If there's one thing Trump has demonstrated is that you actually can get things done in government.

No more allowing Democrats to say "it's too hard" or "Trump will veto it." DON'T CARE. GET IT DONE.

Don't usually screenshot Twitter posts but this one is art.

So, folks, maybe let’s try get national abortion rights and the ERA passed?
