Sally Kirkland, stage and screen star who earned an Oscar nomination for 'Anna,' dies at age 84

the right wing has been phenomenally successful at taking over the media and the government and even did an okay job at boycotting a beer company but they cannot manifest a box office smash to save their lives

So much of Cymru/Wales's heritage lost in a single theft.. ...Items from Llanwrthwrl, Powys, Capel Isaf, Carmarthenshire, Heyope, Powys, & the spectacular Early Bronze Age gold lunula from Llanllyfni, Gwynedd. 😞 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Buddy, just switch caucuses. we all know it's coming. just do it and get it over with and you'll be more content and the tiny fraction of dems, libs and leftists who still don't know will get clued in.

I'm curious as to why @bylinetimes.bsky.social are running tech corporation talking points, including pushing them out to hundreds of thousands of people. Here's my recent post breaking down why this line is so profoundly misleading: ketanjoshi.co/2025/08/23/b...

Reporter: Dr Oz said that— Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

THIS is a SCAM. A 50-year mortgage means you will pay only interest and NEVER own your home/property outright. Who will benefit from the interest? Banks- the investors and undoubtedly, the POTUS scammer himself, as he always gets a piece of the pie. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks

Fascism can't win without outlets like the NYT and WaPo continuously doing this. Please stop sending money to these outlets. The bland, white-friendly recipes and word puzzles aren't worth it. Fund @theflytrapmedia.com, or @unraveledpress.com, or any number of local independent journalists.

Starting now: Press conference announcing a motion for a temporary restraining order challenging USDA's unlawful attempt to withhold SNAP benefits, featuring Attorneys General of CA, NY, MN, NJ and leaders from City Harvest, Food Action Research Center and No Kid Hungry.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Further to my retreat from political folly, let me share my joy with this delightful little article…a Google maps for Roman roads: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"save your anger for 2026" wait you think I'll run out in a year this is why I hate amateurs

Every single last Democrat I know is pissed. And I know a lot of Democrats.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

It is very weird seeing my friends and family slowly start to realize we're not overreacting.

We are upset, like many, that the ACA tax credits are not restored in this “deal” to reopen the govt. But let’s be clear why: the Rs refused to budge as the hunger & aviation crises worsened. Let’s be clear who is hurting working families. The AFT will keep fighting www.aft.org/press-releas...

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

BREAKING President Trump has granted a pardon to a slew of Trump world figures, including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

You gotta wonder why Democrats thought it necessary to cave at nearly midnight on a Sunday of a holiday weekend. Because the optics are shit.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

What DNC Chair Ken Martin said bluevirginia.us/2025/11/sen-...

“.. The Supreme Court has already rejected Maxwell’s appeal to her conviction, meaning Trump’s pardon could be her only clear means to escape her decadeslong sentence.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Trump’s funding cuts to international efforts to end the global threats of malaria, TB and HIV, will result in millions of preventable deaths. Each death is someone’s son or daughter, husband, wife, parent or friend.

she agreed to doubled healthcare costs for everyone else but she'll be fine so it's all good

ICE out of Target! The Target on Peterson Ave in Chicago allows CBP & ICE to park in its parking lot and arrest people.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

the Dems keep operating like this cynical shit has no effect. It’s why their core voters don’t fucking show up. When they say “we fight for you” nobody believes them, because they constantly pull shit like this and say “what else are you gonna vote for.” But then people STAY HOME.

If the democrats care about these things they don’t operate like it, and voters see that.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

"Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, 'Well, shame on them.'" FFS. I'm beginning to wonder if the Republicans already have 8 votes to kill the ACA completely and replace it with Trump checks in one fell swoop.

A real banner week for Chuck Schumer, given that only a few days ago he refused to back the Democratic nominee for mayor of his home city.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

but the caucus folded at the culmination of months of every democrat promising americans you would fight for their subsidies. but a day after air traffic problems become a massive news story, y’all folded? of course we’re angry. you lied to us.

Governor Gavin Newsom on Twitter a few moments ago Regarding Democrat Senators who caved Agree with you Governor 💯

"Guarantees...know...expect them...if they don't...could very well."

Sen Gary Peters is in his own way the biggest embarrassment of the lot. He’s been a leader of Team Cave and he’s retiring. So there’s no politics or risk aversion. He wants to cave as a matter of genuine principle.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Shaheen is retiring; Virginia is solid enough Blue territory that Kaine shld be replaced by a Democrat who is serious about preserving American democracy.

A most necessary and satisfying thread

LESS. THAN. A. WEEK. Took them less than a week to take one of the most visible public repudiations of the GOP in my lifetime and turn it into hog slop. I’m so mad my temperature is higher than my ACA premiums.

Just thinking about how pissed off Republicans were at their own party and its leadership in 2010 That year they got a net gain of 6 seats in the Senate and 63, that's right, 63 seats in the House. Anger is powerful.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

These Dems aren’t afraid of being primaried. They aren’t afraid of calls to their offices. They don’t care about social media posts. They aren’t afraid of their base. Yes we have a two party system. But what other way is there to force immediate change but to withhold donating to the party?
