Friends, I’m running for Oklahoma AFL-CIO President.
Now more than ever, Oklahomans need the kinds of policies that unions fight for. I’ve worked alongside Oklahomas unions during my time as a state representative, and I hope to work for them soon.
Let’s get to work!

I support more Members of Congress making ending Citizens United a non-negotiable. It’s the right thing to do, which is rarely also a popular thing to do, but in this case it’s both.
Rep-Elect Richard Ojeda (D-NC) WON'T SAY if he supports Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for Speaker, telling @scrippsnews "ending Citizens' United is my hard line."

Announcing a rate hike for residential customers the same week as the turnpike announced fee hikes? All in the 3 days after an election where voters said shit’s too expensive?
The #Oklahoma Corporation Commission approved a 3.55% increase to Public Service Company of Oklahoma's residential customer rates today that critics have argued is driven by efforts to attract large-load industrial projects, such as data centers. nondoc.com/2026/11/05/cor…

Not just the Deep South. I’ve got uncles in SE OK who say “sheeeiiit” like that guy, with two syllables in the word. And they voted blue this year & they’ll tell you it’s because what’s been going on these last few years is “bullshit” (there’d be 4-5 syllables in that word)
Okay I have to ask. Do white people actually talk like the first guy in the Deep South?

Last night, Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) told me something I keep thinking about: While Democrats may want to celebrate, they need to remember that this isn't a sporting event. This is Americans sending the strongest signal possible that they are in pain, and hurting, and want help. Now Congress needs to answer that call. It was powerful stuff, and if the party is smart they'll follow his instincts.

There were tech and business leaders who have said absolutely nothing when we’ve gotten headline after headline of the most nakedly corrupt doings, and they said absolutely nothing to protect their bottom line. Let history remember them as the cowards they are.
We're gonna spend the next twenty years laughing at how embarrassing the "tech right" was these past two years.

it is absolutely imperative that you set up your timeline to encounter more old art, and less new AI slop. give your attention to artists who have labored painstakingly to actualize their vision, one intentional brushstroke at a time

.@JamesTalarico: I want to get back to the kind of capitalism we had in the middle of the 20th century in this country.
I want competition, but it’s got to be fair competition.
We’ve got to take on these monopolies, this consolidation, because again it’s fundamentally now, our tax system literally taxes work more than it taxes wealth.
I’m advocating for a return to original capitalist principles where we actually reward work instead of wealth—an economy that creates fewer trillionaires and more millionaires.

Who wrote this ... a dog?
A surprising new study finds that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep. nbcnews.com/health/health-…

SS taxes are paid on the first $250k an earner makes, every year. If we just raised that to $400k we’d fix the social security problem.
There are candidates on your ballot this year who would do this & ones who like the boomer plan.
Figure out which is which & vote accordingly.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US boomers overwhelmingly support higher taxes on younger workers to maintain current Social Security benefits, poll shows.

Turns out it’s $184,500 this year. I personally have never experienced the feeling of learning I’m no longer paying into SS because of my salary, but I’ve been educated by those who have. But at $250k or even $400k, I’d be happy to continue paying SS tax to fix it.

There are billboards in SF that say stop hiring humans, fam.
I think ppl working in the technology industry should understand that middle America is starting to hate us in a really visceral, potentially unrecoverable way
It’s totally self-defeating and irrational on the part of middle America, but it’s very real and getting worse fast

This is a disaster for the human race and I’ve really lost patience with the useless morons who can’t see that. An AI video chat that passes for human has no necessary legitimate applications. It will be used to scam old people out of their life savings. Lonely, mentally vulnerable people are going to form romantic attachments to people who aren’t real. Isolation will increase. Mental illness will skyrocket even more than it already has. Kids in grade school will have AI boyfriends and girlfriends. All of this will happen. And worse things we can’t even conceive at this point. People are already forming unhealthy emotional attachments to text-based LLMs. Once there’s an audio and visual component, it’s over. Millions of brains will be broken irreparably.
The benefits of this technology, whatever they are exactly, are so vastly outweighed by the societal catastrophe it will cause, and is already causing, that you can’t even measure the two categories on the same scale. But at least this is the best thing that ever happened to third world scammers. So if you’re in that community, congratulations.
