marvel gave them a budget of 20 bucks and a piece of string, they spent 90% of it to get patti lupone and managed to outdo most marvel CGI slop with god-like theater esque effects πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ jac schaeffer you’ll always be famous
I'll always be so amazed by how practical agatha all along was, like what do you mean the curse demon was an actual person in a ton of prosthetics, they flooded a whole room with the actors in action, and built a tower with system to make REAL SWORDS drop on the actors

Medicare for All is what a record-breaking 66% of Americans want, per Kaiser Family Foundation. It would save $1 trillion and 114,000 lives a year, per Yale School of Public Health. No more tinkering around the edges. Let’s get it done.

There needs to be a COMPLETE reinstatement of every epidemiologist who was fired from the CDC, the reinstatement of the Epidemic Intelligence Service Team, the re-establishment of the U.S.’s relationship with the WHO, and a PUBLIC APOLOGY for pausing all COVID/FLU/RSV test tracking.

Because after Abrams lost she turned her attention to building the voting infrastructure that would’ve allowed her to win. She set the table for Keisha
So so happy for Keisha, but I hope we unpack why Georgia was able to elect her and not Stacey Abrams.

And the thing is, canceling student debt does more for the economy than tax breaks for billionaires. It’s a no brainer.
I totally support cancelling student loan debt for 45 million students because they canceled trillions in taxes for billionaires.

While #AO3 remains down, we wanted to share that work to restore AO3 and make changes to prevent future incidents is ongoing and proceeding well. We believe that our original return time estimate remains accurate. Learn more at otwstatus.org/incidents/g12j…
Earlier today, we detected evidence of a security incident on #AO3. We are still in the early stages of investigating. No AO3 data has been deleted. All your works, bookmarks, kudos, etc., are safe. Learn more at otwstatus.org/incidents/g12j…

Friendly reminder: The Big Beautiful Bill was written, passed, and signed by REPUBLICANS! 218 Republican votes in the House, 50 in the Senate, with JD Vance breaking the tie! NOT ONE Democrat voted for it! Trump signed it into law July 4, 2025! So when the consequences hit…DON’T blame Democrats! Good day!

This is what I've been saying since the beginning. They've stolen time from us. They've stolen the opportunity to see things that will never be achieved or accomplished in our lives because They've set everything back so far.theyve stolen so much from us all. Bury them.
The MAGA party took 10 years from you. Now is not the time to meet them halfway.

There are a lot of landmines in Trump’s β€œBig Beautiful Bill” set to go off after the midterms when the new Congress is sworn in. Dems have to communicate that fact to the public and make tangible moves to mitigate damage and improve people’s lives

ok good job now pass popular bills and dare trump to veto them. here’s a starter set (all poll at 85% or higher): - require hospitals to fully disclose costs before providing care. - require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales. - ban financial companies from selling customers’ personal data. - require an enforceable supreme court ethics code. - ban members of congress from trading individual stocks. - prohibit former members of congress from becoming lobbyists for five years. - prevent hospitals from charging more than doctors’ offices for identical outpatient services. - establish a voluntary program helping employers provide paid family and medical leave. - require publicly distributed AI deepfakes to be labeled as AI-generated. - cap prescription drug prices based on prices in other developed countries. - prohibit hospital facility fees for outpatient clinic services and telehealth visits. - require organizations spending on federal elections to disclose major donors and identify sponsors of online political ads.
