America is not a blanket woven from one thread, one color, one cloth. - Rev Jesse Jackson Pic of the day #photography

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

JUST IN: Les Wexner submitted a written statement to House Oversight ahead of his testimony on Jeffrey Epstein. In the letter, Wexner says he was “naive” and duped by Epstein, calls him a “con man,” and insists he cut ties nearly two decades ago and had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct.

The President is lying to the public: 1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land. youtu.be/OKyIKHW8ONI

NEW: ICE has raided dormitories at the Dilley concentration camp to confiscate letters from children per @pabloreports.bsky.social. I have filed a FOIA request for them. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: the second we get anything, we will send it to you. 1/ www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ice-co...

Trump says, "I've been totally exonerated." Lordy. Meanwhile, Republicans pass the "safe" act. This has nothing to do with American citizens being safe. Safe means fewer voters to throw out fascists from the attack on Americans. Take your safe act and shove it. Voting Republican will kill you.

So....the Fourth Reich?

Holy shit. A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

Today we lost a giant. Rev. Jesse Jackson proved that a national political movement could be built from bold progressive ideals and an unshakable vision of radical love and justice. May he rest in power.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration. even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

The media felll for it, gushing about the tone of Rubio’s speech. 🤞 European leaders did not.

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program. "Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on elections: In the past, we’ve mostly seen foreign interference — my bigger fear now is domestic interference, some of that potentially originating inside the administration.

Does that seem fair to you?

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
