In 1990, Ohio (on the left) had about 4.4 million more residents than Georgia (on the right) had. Now it only has about 600,000 more residents. Ohio’s stagnated and become more Republican. Georgia is dynamic and has become more Democratic.

We all know that virtually none of that $1.8 bn slush fund is going to go to Jan 6 scumbags. Anyone with any brains knows Trump is going to keep as much for himself as possible. Maybe there’ll be token payments to scumbags and Trump’s shittykids, but he’s keeping that $$ for himself.

The messed up thing is if Virginia had passed a map weakening the Black vote it would have held up in court.

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

When will media stop focusing on Trump’s lack of cognitive ability and start focusing on how the people around him are using a mentally unstable old man for profit and are grifting off his illness? Trump is the distraction. For everything.

I don’t understand why there isn’t a general strike planned for May 1 or Trump’s birthday. Bring the country to a halt for one day as a show of strength. For all those who whine “Do Something” you’d think this would be something.

Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel still has his job. Two female reporters have been fired as a result of his alleged affair with one of those reporters. This is the USA work place women have always had to navigate.

Every time someone says "I don't get into politics" it tells me who they voted for.

Point of order: all that matters is turning out the vote. Hungary just proved this. Political actions that matter: doing whatever we can to motivate people to vote. —We will get distracted, so repeatedly bringing our focus back to this objective, is key.

Food for thought: In '24, 245M Americans were eligible to vote. just 73.6 % of those (174M) registered to vote. just 154M of them actually voted. US voter turnout ranked in bottom 1/3 of all democracies. This is how democracy dies. Too many people have taken too much for granted for too long

The dumbest post ever. Ugh, the state of education in this country regarding history, civics, and economics is abysmal.

One of the biggest takeaways from the past few days is that not one Republican in Congress was willing to risk anything to be on the right side of history

Joe Biden pardoned thousands of Black and brown people for simple possession, laws that unfairly target minorities. Trump pardoned a bunch of violent cop-murdering white supremacists, many kept doing crimes. The power to pardon doesn’t need abolishing. You need to stop electing Republicans.

Dumb posts like this certainly draw clicks and clickers probably feel righteous agreeing with it, but it’s all based on a complete lack of understanding about funding, debt, and the sheer number of other states that meddle in US politics.

You always know someone has a bad case of Murc’s Law when they post Dem-blaming shit like this, then turn off comments and QTs. #instablock

The only people who get to say “we didn’t vote for this” are the ones who voted for Kamala … end of story

Trump just threatened journalists with jail if they don’t disclose how they learned one pilot was missing.

Trump, who chose to commemorate Easter with an f-bomb and threats of war crimes is now thanking God for finding a downed pilot. This also in the midst of his usual lies & BS.

Great advice as the week gets underway.

Taking bets on which spineless Big Law firm that couldn’t wait to cave to Trump to get those yummy gov’t contracts has agreed to take on Bondi.

Well done Seattle 👏 The Seattle Seahawks have declined the White House invitation,

I’m so tired of MS NOW having Paul Reickhoff on every show. Sick of his presenting white dudebros as the base of Dem party. Today he suggested that a billionaire bribe someone to leak Epstein docs w/o caring about what that would start.

I’d love a nightly show with his name being ripped down from a site. I’d really love a show of the Oval Office being stripped of that gaudy gold crap too.

Our goal is not just to defeat Trump… It is to destroy the party that nominated him.

I just think it's kinda funny how white liberals go on and on about Black women saving the US but every time the opportunity to vote for qualified Black women arises they fall flat. Y'all peep that?

Since the influx of big Resistrash accounts, I find myself checking in here far less often. It’s like this app is becoming a home for GOP ratfuckers and doomers who don’t understand how anything works.

Common sense and cognizance of political reality are in short supply on this app (plus I think there’s a lot of hysterical bots fomenting dooming and division).

Too many people on this app think politics started only once they began paying attention.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Saw someone who's visiting Seattle for the game tomorrow wondering about whether they'd get beer thrown at them like happened in Philly and just a PSA, you need have zero fear on that account, have you seen what they charge for beer here?? Nobody can afford to be chucking drinks at you

Everyone freezing on the East Coast or in the Midwest remember: Kyiv has the same weather, except that hundreds of thousands of people don't have electricity, heating or running water

The Democratic voter who needs to be excited, rather than disciplined and focused, is why Trump has twice come into office with full control of the WH and Congress.

She was absolutely right. And she would have been an amazing President.

White dude alert:

💯

It was like Kamala had a crystal ball. She could see into the future, I believed her and voted for her. #kamala

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Here’s some of that “fighting back” the dooming hysterics on here love to whine about. Guess they don’t notice because it’s not a viral social media stunt or because they can’t use it to whine about Dems. www.wptv.com/wptv-investi...

This part! No we don’t deserve it just bc those of the 170 million do But the 75 million of us and even more poignantly the percent of us who stood behind Black and Jewish people most definitely do not deserve this bullshit!

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I really, really, really need to hear from the guys who wouldn't vote kamala because "she'll girlboss her way into another war"

Comical, @wsj.com.

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

The way our current press works is: GOP are given unlimited credulity. Every statement they make is seen as truth and the Dems need to address it. While Dems are given none of that.

The usual hysterical Dem bashing is yet another example of how the state of US education re history and civics is just abysmal.

You can tell Epstein materials were released today: Bluesky “leftists” are working overtime shitting on MVP and “the Dems.” Earning their GOP ratfucking money, I guess.

U.S. folks look insane to the rest of the world. Geez. Have you not learned to vote for whoever is nominated. The U.S. doesn’t deserve the power it has. You had the freest democracy and you gave it up because candidates are not perfect and don’t give you 100% of what you want. No wonder Trumpism won

Notice how Black politicians are endlessly nitpicked, framed as disappointing, or “not enough,” while white politicians are allowed growth and nuance. That passive-aggressive “criticism” from white liberals and leftists is just racism in polite language.
