Let's you know you're not alone even if you feel alone and hopeless. Re-energizes the fight for those people drained by ineffective elected officials shirking their duty. And reminds the powers that be that Americans aren't gonna just let them take the country without pushback

Why the fuck are Democrats confirming this despot's judges. Why are Democrats giving a single fucking inch on anything, while he is waging war on our country? Be. A. Fucking. Opposition. Party.

The Corrupt Supreme Court Must Be Reformed: Dems Must Champion It talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-c...

My biggest concern about TikTok being sold to Trump-aligned American investors is that, at this point, there is far more cause for alarm from domestic surveillance than from foreign adversaries. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Why? Because "we're all in it together" -- or more precisely, "we all must join in and sacrifice some of our immediate individual interests in the name of long-term collective welfare" -- is diametrically opposed to hierarchy & domination, which are the fundamentals of authoritarian psychology.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

I guess it’s time for me to switch to Delta as my preferred choice of carrier.

With these now explicit threats to use the Kirk killing as the pretext to attack liberal political groups, and given the Ds hold the cards at the end of the month, what are @chuckschumer.com and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social going to do about this? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

They are not against political violence, they are against political violence by their opponents.

Want a semi-break? TODAY at 11 PST/1 CST I'm going to be guest-DJing on KSQD! I'm going to be playing the songs I listened to on repeat while writing my three most recent books. It's a VERY eclectic mix! We'll also be discussing the news. Stream it here: www.radiorethink.com/tuner/index....

Tonight’s Mamdani result has me thinking about another famous New Yorker…

Prophylactically pissed about tomorrow's inevitable "yes but that was just because it's NYC" spin. Reminder: NYC is the city where the greatest amount of Americans live. It's as "real" as America gets.

A Christian Nationalist’s worst nightmare is us getting along. Don’t fall for the lie that we have to hate each other just because they hate us both.

Less than a month after the WA legislature passed two amazing housing reform bills -- one on parking, one on transit-oriented development -- a shithead NIMBY group has launched ballot initiatives to overturn them both.

House Republicans have finally released the complete version of their dreadful plan. And its confirmed our worst nightmares. This monstrous legislation demolishes health coverage and food assistance for millions. Heading to the Capitol for debate.

Cowards! All of them. Absolutely shameful.

He’s got nothing, Jerry! The wanna-be King has no clothes.

I’m old enough to remember when it was a big deal if a President was in violation of the Emoluments clause. Those were such innocent days… www.bbc.com/news/article...

(ProPublica) - Elon Musk’s aerospace giant SpaceX allows investors from China to buy stakes in the company as long as the funds are routed through the Cayman Islands or other offshore secrecy hubs, according to previously unreported court records. @jeisinger.bsky.social

You wanna know about these incredible special election candidates *before* they pull off upsets? Listen to @joesudbay.bsky.social's "State of the States" on @siriusxmprog.bsky.social. Joe gives the time of day to a lot of Dems that many folks overlook. And guess who he interviewed? James Malone!

The so-called SAVE Act comes up for vote next week. Voter suppression by any other name.... Pure and simple. Well, not so pure...not so simple. Blocks married women whose last names don't match birth certificates. And more. 5calls.org makes it easy to call Congress: 5calls.org/issue/save-a....

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

The election for Wisconsin State Supreme Court is April 1st. Elon has spent over 12 million to purchase this seat. I’ve been invited to Wisconsin to help advertise my official campaign website of Elon Musk puppet, Brad Schimel. Head to BradSchimel2025.com to donate what you can.

We are witnessing the collapse of the “American Experiment“ in real time.

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

NEW reporting from @juddlegum.bsky.social on Elon Musk's takeover of our federal government. Musk’s OPM associates have gained "unprecedented access to federal human resources databases containing sensitive personal information for millions of federal employees." www.muskwatch.com/p/musk-assoc...

The workers were emailed by a little boy with no legal authority who interns for the richest Nazi in the world. It is an absolutely insane development and the social copy doesn’t come close to conveying it.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

All the complaining about "unelected bureaucrats" paved the way for an unelected oligarch to take control. While unelected bureaucrats operate in a carefully constructed web of law and accountability, Musk is breaking the law and accountable to no-one. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

So this guy is the guy or the kind of guy who now has direct access to social security checks and tax refunds it seems

okay but you aren’t again, you could be shutting down all senate business by denying every single unanimous consent request, you could be down at Treasury with cameras, you could be doing something other than issuing strongly worded statements your actions have to match what’s happening

I’ve done work related to cyber security for over a decade. Received lots of instruction on how to recognize social engineering, how to avoid phishing attempts, and how to properly secure infrastructure with the appropriate processes and controls... (1 of 3)

You are not alone. In these difficult times, remember that courage is not the absence of fear but the strength to move forward despite it. Lean on one another, look to the helpers, and know that there is strength in community and solidarity. Millions of Americans stand with you. freemomhugs.org

The sense of dread I’ve been feeling today is palpable. We are entering dark times. The only thing “exceptional” about America right now is the collective willful ignorance and supplication by people who should know better.

All crypto is fundamentally a scam, they invested a ton of money to elect a guy who would allow them to scam more, and he is running the biggest scam of all himself as a result. Congrats to all. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/u...

TFG about to issue executive order to postpone the #TikTok ban by 90 days. This would be my shocked face.

Jeff Atwood steps up to be a thing that’s sorely needed in tech right now: a leader. He actually *gives* half of his current net worth (not a pledge — he already cut checks) to 8 organizations helping the most vulnerable. blog.codinghorror.com/stay-gold-am... An inspiring move, when it most matters.

The NFL concussion settlement promised to compensate every former player with dementia or a brain disease linked to head trauma. But the firm that oversees the settlement still delays and denies claims despite vowing to act fast, The Post found.

We don’t deserve dogs, but I am also so grateful that we have them in our lives. Nothing better to stop the doom-scrolling than a goofy dog bounding into the room, exuding sheer joy in the moment and being with loved ones.
