Trump is trying to shift the decision about who gets to vote from the states to his administration, using benign sounding rules changes. There’s nothing more important to be aware of right now than this. Details here: substack.com/@joycevance/...

yeah unfortunately the point at which security agents started manufacturing crimes to so they could arrest people to support the delusions of a single personalist ruler was the point at which the story stopped being silly heavy-handed metaphor and started being of real concern

We are a joke.

Trump pardoned people who literally smeared shit on the capitol walls

This makes me incredibly sad for all the humanity we have lost. We have lost our way.

FREE SPEECH UNDER ATTACK: Marco Rubio just had a man arrested and jailed, and is seeking to deport him, because he publicly supported Petro and opposed a presidential candidate in Colombia that Donald Trump would prefer to be elected. He committed no crimes and had an asylum application pending.

a Black man named Freeman scored the second goal and the first goal happened because of a great run by our birthright citizen striker, these chuds can fuck all the way off

The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth

Former USMNT players interviewing current USMNT players in Spanish on Telemundo always rocks. Sorry for the insanely libbed up cringe take but cultural diversity is what makes America great. Republicans can die mad about it.

Fascists are not welcome at this party. Get lost

I heard that there are thousands and thousands of cases of Rep. Claudia Tenney drowning kittens in her kitchen sink. It happens all the time. But Rep. Claudia Tenney will tell you it doesn't happen because you can't prove it.

ah a classic post from the man i’m told was a patriot who loved all americans

As the screwworm spreads... Remember that Elon Musk’s DOGE cut $15M from a screwworm monitoring program. And we're now learning that Trump’s USDA delayed a project to develop new ways to contain the parasite and held up construction of a monitoring facility. The incompetence is dangerous.

Exactly right. Thousands of different cultures are mingling happily in lower Manhattan right now, and anyone who can't get on board with that is the social misfit. America always has been and always will be diverse. Love it or leave it, assholes.

It is not hawkish to point out that Trump lost the war of choice that he started & it is not the duty of doves to defend a peace treaty that recognizes those losses

🤦🏻‍♀️just saw they gave credit to Ronaldo for having the most all-time international goals. Again, add Men’s or be correct. That record belongs to Christine Sinclair.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Real America is in the cities.

Not lost on me that Australia 🇦🇺 & Turkey 🇹🇷 are kicking off a FIFA men’s World Cup game on grass pitch in Vancouver in the exact stadium that hosted the 2015 FIFA women’s World Cup Final between USA 🇺🇸 & Japan 🇯🇵 where we were repeatedly told they couldn’t install grass. Still not okay. Never will be.

the real political correctness is that you can’t go on the news and say that this is hick shit

A SECOND person died of exposure last winter after DHS dumped them in the middle of nowhere, miles from their home, without notifying their family.

Future historian department: -Front page of today's NYT reports creation of world's first trillionaire. -Lead op-ed of same NYT is about worst-ever Ebola outbreak, which *this VERY SAME trillionaire* enabled, with his "chainsaw" destruction of US public health in the world. The book writes itself

When Hitler fell, the purging of that mindset wasn’t de-Hitlerification, it was de-Nazification. When Saddam fell, it wasn’t de-Saddamification, it was de-Baathification. When Trump falls, it will be de-MAGAfication, not de-Trumpification. The entire movement’s hatred and corruption must be purged.

1. Progressive Champions PAC, a super PAC created last month, says on its website that its mission is to “elect bold, progressive candidates up and down the ballot.” A Popular Information investigaiton reveals that it's a GOP front group. Following along for receipts. 🧵

This is why I stopped giving. They’re not doing anything for democracy. They are either blissfully unaware of the moment, or, worse, ok with it.

Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

Folarin Balogun, born in New York to Nigerian parents. People like JD Vance would say he's not *really* American when, in fact, he's the epitome of American. 🇺🇸

When your health insurance co tells you there's a max out of pocket in a year, it's a lie. If they simply don't cover the services you need, you pay for it, but they don't count it. Try getting a concussion, in America, with long-term symptoms and see if you get out of it for less than $10k.

New from me: The cops who AI-enhance blurry photos to try to catch suspects are actually just tampering with evidence, lying to the public and raising the risk of wrongful arrests

If I ever ran for governor, it would be on this platform. Citizens United can be stopped at the state level because it is states that grant corporations existence and can therefore regulate how they behave.

The Hawaii thing is a big deal so of course the Koch’s want to kill it

This entire administration is made up of people who desperately need to work out their shit in therapy. And yes, that’s my masculine take. Real men get the therapy they need.

Fuck this guy and fuck you if you voted for him.

gotta admit, talking about adding seats to scotus and the house and getting rid of the electoral college will get my attention

that’s right

Venezuela are just ONE playoff game away from qualifying for their first ever (men's or women's) World Cup. After the game & scoring the goal to keep the team’s dreams alive, Captain Deyna Castellanos broke down in tears. For her & Venezuela, there is everything to play for 🇻🇪❤️ 🎥 X/mundopelotanet

I love a good pep talk.

I kept this picture of the tv screen for posterity because holy shit. #uswnt

That game was so bananas that Ary Borges was the calm voice of reason on the Brazil side. WTF? #uswnt

Los Angeles County literally has a fully transparent vote counting process - the entire count is livestreamed online. This commitment to transparency makes zero difference, mainstream press still credulously repeats GOP info bubble claims of fraud anyway.

Tell me you don’t follow football without telling me you don’t follow football. There has never been a World Cup hosted by a single city.

We’re the bad guys.

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath. Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

Our ongoing national embarrassment . . .

What if WE’RE the shithole country?

This is what they meant by "free speech"

Many of the Americans who landed on the beaches on D-Day were immigrants and the children of immigrants. The "America First" xenophobes who supported the Nazis hated them.

Dude looks like he just came up for air from a bender. He probably can’t remember.

Graham Platner trying to explain away his behavior as *living a regular life* really evokes *locker room talk* for me. The normalization of men’s abuse of women has to stop. Abusing women is not regular or normal or in any way okay. I hope this gets called out by lots and lots of people.

exactly the right response
