Oh my.

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

So...in the next 2 days i will have my final (oral) part of my maturita exams. And after that im officially done with secondary school (well i will get the paper a week later, but you know what i mean) Damn...its hard to believe its going to end. Those 4 years went by so fast...

The President of the United States is demented, perverted, incompetent, and a threat to democracy.

BUTTE, Mont. — Former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg came to Butte on Sunday for a town hall focused on Initiative 194, also known as the Montana Plan.

PM Mark Carney exemplifies intelligence, confidence & calls out P.P.’s nonsense in real time! Canadians are exhausted from the noise and fearmongering. Facts matter! Truth matters! We notice when someone actually speaks with intelligence instead of slogans! ❤️🇨🇦 #SheShed #CanadaStrong

Trump doesn't care about the economic plight of the average American because he's too busy calling his broker His stunning 3,700 trades in just 3 months in firms like Palantir, Nvidia and Boeing should be another Watergate. Here's how to make it one My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Trump DOJ forces major TX children’s hospital to stop trans care & open ‘detransition’ clinic Critics say the mandated clinic elevates ideology over science & stigmatizes transgender patients. Advocate: apple.news/ADV5s1cKnRzK... 😡cruel, will cause suicides & they don't care💩🖕

The TV hosts’ decision shows support for Colbert ahead of his last episode on May 21.

9 years was not an excessive punishment. Peters was a county official who used someone else’s security badge to let a fellow election denier access the whole county's voting data. That is an extreme breach of public trust for the purpose of undermining our democracy; harsh deterrence is vital.

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

seems like jared polis thought this would make him look like an enlightened and humane centrist instead of a dumbass

"The commutation 'signals it's open season on our election and election officials' “Gov. Polis is bending the knee to the same voices and conspiracy theories undermining belief in our democratic institutions. This is now Polis’ legacy. He will not be able to run from it” apnews.com/article/tina...

“The president seems to conflate news he doesn't want to hear with treason and that's not the case," the reporter said. www.huffpost.com/entry/new-yo...

My god. In an interview with Vassy Kapelos, Danielle Smith said that because TC Energy built a pipeline in 18 months in the 1950s we should be able to do the same today. Does she think companies and the crown respected Indigenous rights then? How will Indigenous communities react to her comments?

Name another song that mentions the word "Fire." 🎶 Written by Ángel Villoldo, the piece "El Choclo" debuted in Buenos Aires in 1903. The Spanish version of the piece has been recorded by multiple orchestras. After English lyrics were added to the piece by Lester Allen and Robert Hill, the song 👇

Can things get dumber? Yes they can.

How bad is the Colorado governor's commutation of Tina Peters' sentence? So bad that even the Republican DA who prosecuted here pushed back, and told Polis to talk to the county officials who have to deal with threats that followed Peters' felonies. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/u...

Keeping this false narrative alive is a corruption of public office. Audits and lawsuits have already answered this question.

The fact that trump is going after Thomas Massie because of… the Epstein files (that trump himself promised to release in the campaign) and that the GOP is likely to go along with him, is astounding

How is-annihilating Iran going to open the Strait of Hormuz? That’s not a plan.

This guy has a serious case of Buttigieg Derangement Syndrome.

Who could have ever imagined it would be a disastrous decision to attack Iran and that it would set off a set of consequences including economic crisis and a broader regional war besides everyone who ever paid the slightest bit of attention

This is despicable Women, if your partner doesn’t recognize you as an equal and respect your children as independent and different people, remember-you deserve better

Trump has been purging Black officials in gov’t agencies at a higher rate, per a lawsuit citing Trump’s attacks on #DEI programs. “Trump has removed Black Senate-confirmed appointees; he has either nominated a non-Black individual for their replacement or has not formally replaced them…”🧵

The Helen of Troy saga is still going.

"i hope not" a profound level of lying to yourself or lying to us

I did not know this was a thing, the "dementia stare"???👀 Now I'm going to be watching out for it all the time. youtube.com/shorts/kWktB...

Stupidity is clearly airborne now.

Even without the full release and endless redactions of the Epstein files, we know the President raped children. It is all there in the files we can see and the court documents that have been released. He. Raped. Kids. He is a sick fuck.

It’s a continuing pattern now: prosecutors around the world examining files released by the Trump DOJ say they find evidence of serious crimes. The DOJ insists there’s nothing to see there, and refuses even the most routine cooperation. By the way,

Hi, my name is Ben. I have autism and was diagnosed at the age of five. By nineteen, both of my parents had passed away. I’ve been through bullying, grief, and moments where I nearly gave up. But I’m still here. I chose to turn the negatives in my life into positives.

That's what old white people said about AOC and Mamdani. Hell, established democrats said the same shit about Obama early in his run. So gate keeping. Platner is wildly popular precisely because he doesn't practice the tired old politics you advocate for.

I quoted the Virginia Constitution and Republicans are losing their minds.🤯 Jonathan Turley suggested I am a "radical" and "Jacobian" for literally quoting the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights.😂

I'll be ⏸️ pausing my "Relentless Decency" and "I Stand With Canada" merch lines for a few weeks soon, while we work on a Canada Day project.

“Every time I’ve done what I thought was right, even though I thought it might cost me my job, I end up keeping the job.” @smencimer.bsky.social reports on Rep. Thomas Massie, the proud, forever pain in the ass.

Perhaps the real definition of "trump derangement syndrom" is blindly believing a convicted felon, misogynistic, lying, demented, pedofile protecting, insecure, war mongering. con man. Seems a more appropriate definition of those words.
