“There may be.” FFS. Forget the flags. I have a literal masters degree in public health, I’m an actual union leader (in my second term as chapter president,) I’m a college professor, and a reproductive health advocate. And people are quibbling over if he abused his exes enough to be disqualifying.

The "purity test" in this case being "having a Nazi tattoo."

All of this really really sucks, and makes me wish I’d had more resources 8 years ago to run more aggressive local candidate recruitment work in Maine.

What if they just made an entire guy out of red flags?

I am obsessed with this finalist in this year's Michigan “I voted” sticker design contest

Head high, Scott Pelley, eyes forward.

Shorter explanation: A lot of white MN republicans are mad a white cop is in jail for killing a black man

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

Thoroughly agree with Mike here. We need a strict code of ethics—frankly, the strictest—for the highest court in the land.

Trump saying, "That's all they can do is lie" in front of that tacky painting of Trump's pretend assassination attempt is peak Donald.

Now die, die, die, die, die.

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert: “I think Ken Paxton is the most corrupt Attorney General we've had in my lifetime.”

The @mississippifreepress.org gets it right, too. It might be the best small news outlet in the country. Follow it! bsky.app/profile/asht...

OPINION: "Making Mississippi better doesn’t require a grand gesture. It requires your intentional choice. The choice to stay and invest your creativity and education back into your hometowns to help them grow," Torsheta Jackson writes.

What a disgrace. Says it all, really. 😕🇺🇸

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

Oh great, now everytime I watch the Giants this seaon I'll be rooting for QB1 to get another concussion.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

Disgraceful and despicable. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Republican voters in Kentucky who presumably spent much of 2024 banging on about Epstein just ejected from Congress their own Republican congressman, who helped get the Epstein files out, in order to please the close friend of Epstein, Donald Trump.

New York subway rule: dogs can only travel if they go "in a bag." New Yorkers took it very seriously... and became incredibly creative. 🐶

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

"ya'll in a death spiral" we're so back

You've seen it on bumper stickers and posters at some point. "America: Love it or Leave it"— is a racist dogwhistle. America is not above criticism. Calling out America's shortcomings past or present does not make one less patriotic. Remember that. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.

Former Oath Keeper is running for California Governor. No! Absolutely not! Chad Bianco shouldn’t even be sheriff, let alone running the whole state. 📌 The Oath Keepers are tied to racism, extremism, and white supremacy. Don’t let the badge fool you.

In light of last night’s debate, I’m re-upping this post about a governor candidate who is polling embarrassingly high for a white nationalist in the majority-minority state of California. Do folks not realize how dangerous Chad Bianco is?

Protesters are singing civil rights songs in the Tennessee Senate State and Local Government Committee.

Woah, a website’s gone up for a campaign to undo California’s top-two primary: www.undothetoptwo.com

They're really stopping an election that's already under way to erase my people from the map.

I forgive the little old man on speaker phone in the bookstore cause he was asking his wife about books she wants and he said, “We need to buy it here and support Kaitlyn and not buy it on Amazon” 🥰
