This gentleman's analogy encapsulates the pedophile president's blithering idiocy in Venezuela to perfection. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

I have no words for the anger I feel toward those who bashed Dems or didn’t vote for Hillary or Kamala bc of “corporate money” or “genocide.” Their reasons are MacGuffins; they’ll find new ones by 2028. And now they’re the ones yelling that Dems can’t get us out of the mess they created.

I can’t imagine why Trump, Bondi, Patel and Mike Johnson have fought so hard to cover up the Epstein files.

Just thinking about what could have been and something to strive for in 2026!

Happy (lazy, rainy) New Year’s Day from the anti-MAGA squad! #DogsofBluesky

2 "Civic duty" refers to the responsibilities of citizens to their community and government, promoting the well-being of society. It's your duty to know how your government works. Its your duty to know who is in your government, from your school board members to your president.

1. This was the inevitable outcome when we not only stopped teaching civics but, stopped teaching the concept of civic duty. While expected from the right, I am daily shocked by the number of people on the left who are not only ignorant of both but who fail to grasp, the concept of a binary choice.

As we go into the new year, remember Philip Esformes. In 2019, he was convicted for a massive $1.3 billion Medicare fraud scheme. It was the largest health-care fraud scheme ever prosecuted by the DOJ. One year later, Trump commuted him. He was arrested again last year for domestic violence.

I mean, let's talk about the obvious.

"Trump will live forever, but only as a cautionary tale, one we tell successive generations to demonstrate that sustaining a democracy against the corrupt and the malevolent requires vigilance and determination." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Seems like fraud, waste, and abuse to us

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

We are failing our kids

The US government is now a mafia organization.

Finally someone with stones !!!!!

Political donations are inimical to democracy and should be outlawed immediately

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

This is how people get Cabinet appointments in the Trump admin.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

fraudsters stick together

I can’t look at Kristi Noem’s face. She belongs at Mar a Lago

This is fu*king outrageous! The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards. apnews.com/article/utah...

“I’ve got the best poll numbers I’ve ever had! Red hot!!!”

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott. From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

The GOAT Award goes to Mary Bruce of ABC NEWS! What she did today was totally and unequivocally awesome and amazing! I saw it live. ABC should give her a goddamn raise for this.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

This is superb! Please share everywhere.

“A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman…” - Trump, defending the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi Crown Prince MBS.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal. This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago. And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

To be clear, this deal still needs to go through a debate and amendment process and more 60-vote thresholds to pass the Senate, and then it must pass the House. There's still room for constituent pressure.

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
