soooo many women and femmes know exactly what she's talking about when she says she looks at a room of people and gets a gut feeling like "you are not safe here." that feeling has actually protected us throughout history and it shouldn't be ignored
Pokimane admits she felt a way seeing Atrioc at Ludwig's wedding around her close friends "There's been a lot of cognitive dissonance seeing my friends be put in close proximity of him.. It makes me feel some type of way, I can't lie.. Do they agree with me or do they not?"

wow. thoughts: 1. maybe she's saying this because she knows someone strong like Fain is willing to run 2. maybe she's saying this to shore up/gauge support if we don't have a strong progressive candidate like AOC in '28, we risk losing to Vance or Carlson. Ossoff won't cut it
Axios: Zohran Mamdani wants AOC to run for president but is unsure if she’ll do so. “Many think Ocasio-Cortez is leaning toward a Senate bid in 2028 instead of a White House run.” Link to article: axios.com/2026/11/08/scoop-m…

This is about to be my last straw with this app if true. I think I heard that leaders from Lula’s election said to just not engage + post positive campaign updates a lot + share/boost organically using spaces like WhatsApp
I'm noticing that if you make any tweet saying AOC should run for president a ton of bots come out of the woodwork to say she should run for senate / doesn't have the experience to run for president accounts that don't follow you, it's a mass astroturfing intimidation campaign

This is also the reason her popularity isn't sky high: we already know her flaws. YET, she is still *very* popular and well-liked by both progressives and moderates. Zohran and AES's popularity will go down a bit with time too. We already know AOC's floor nationally and it's high
He's pretty obviously talking about how the two most powerful conservative media institutions in the country (Fox and the Post) have been trying to destroy her since the day she beat Crowley.

As someone who spends thousands of dollars a year with Chewy, I need to know if they’re ever condemned or spoken out about actual hate speech or anything MAGA podcasters have said. Because I can easily spend more money at local pet store.

As Ossoff is hyped, do not forget this video. He has absolutely no remorse for his vote for the Laken Riley Act, which it turns out it he didn't even have to vote for anyway. Jon Ossoff was asked about his constituent, an American-born citizen who has to carry ID on him at all times to avoid being detained from ICE, and Ossoff did not want to hear about it.
As part of our Constituent Questions series, Andres Carrillo from Atlanta asked Sen. Jon Ossoff about the Laken Riley Act, which he voted for. As a Mexican-American U.S.-born citizen, Andres was told by his local councilwoman that he should carry his passport when going out due to ICE's presence in his area. He asked Ossoff what he's done to help community members threatened by ICE since casting that vote. Constitutional scholars have argued that the Laken Riley Act is unconstitutional in its suspension of due process and effective legalization of racial profiling for detention of suspected illegal immigrants. This is part of a new Drop Site series where your questions go straight to your elected officials on Capitol Hill. Submit your question by sending a video to @JulianAndreone

If we had a dollar for every time someone told us to just leave Texas if we didn't like it here, we'd have a bunch of money. In spite of it all, we stayed and fought the fight. And we finally won.

As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Security’s solvency for generations. How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.

Have been noticing this for months now. And it only makes sense that they would try to get out ahead of her campaign now. If you listen to the bot replies on Twitter alone, you'd think she was the most hated politician in the US or something

i love this POV!
The debate over wearing respirator masks is so old & tiresome. It's scientific fact that they work well at blocking airborne viral particles from being inhaled. It's a remarkable technology that we're fortunate to possess, that for millennia our ancestors would have loved to use.

It's amazing that for all the NYT has invested in Texas reporting it still has East Coasters with Ivy League degrees covering our state writing articles like "Anthropologists have discovered that to many Texans, the 'cowboy boot' is a signifier of manliness and hard work."
Really can’t get over this nyt article about talarico’s boots. People know men in Texas just wear boots every single day right?

Here's the clip in HD because it's looking like we'll be using it a lot Jon Ossoff doesn't support the Green New Deal, he doesn't support Medicare for All, he doesn't support Abolishing ICE He voted to fund ICE, and to give them the power to jail anyone without due process
Do you support the Green New Deal? Ossoff: No Do you support Medicare for All? Ossoff: No Do you support abolishing ICE? Ossoff: No Do you support expanding the Supreme Court? Ossoff: No Centrists: Ossoff is a progressive!!!

I actually love that millennials are associate with optimism and being cringe. What a really beautiful legacy to leave in the wake of the many many many unprecedented devastating events we’ve lived through. Hope looks really good on us.

!!!! this is very important to understand and recognize
This is so true. The reality is ppl are going to be more inclined to side with abusers bc victims are disruptive. They're dysregulated, intrusive, disturbing, & ask something of others, even if just to empathize. Abusers do not & want your peace preserved by you ignoring victims.

Something’s off with Ossoff. As recently as 2020 he demanded that America fund Israel’s “qualitative military edge”. He got into London School of Economics thanks to a recommendation by an IDF officer & Israeli politician. He wants to increase US-Israeli military spending.
Jon Ossoff not only voted to officially make calling Israel "racist", an antisemitic act at the federal level, he also voted not once but twice to defund UNRWA and starve Gaza. I am not "opposed" to Jon Ossoff, Jon Ossoff is my enemy.

Now that midterms are over, I just want to be clear that I will never forgive Jon Ossoff for signing the LAKEN RILEY ACT, one of the most racist legislations in the last decade. Do yall know how many moms were deported bc we couldn’t get them out even after charges were dropped?!
Chuck Schumer loves Jon Ossoff and you should ask yourself why that is
