At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to pull a book from a bookshelf and find that it reveals a hidden door?

Biden/Harris was the most pro-worker/labor administration in history. Biden is the ONLY sitting president to have ever walked picket line with striking workers. He saved the pensions of millions of workers. He helped push up wages and benefits for workers. Why does everyone on the Left ignore this?

Head Start has been helping children from low-income families prepare for school and life for decades. We know it works. Studies show children who attend Head Start are more likely to graduate from high school, have better long-term health, and earn higher incomes over their lifetimes.

it's extremely cool that if someone on Bsky criticises El-Sayed in any way, seventeen grungy white leftists come out of the woodwork to immediately call them A Racist, with absolute and utter joy in their hearts. they've been looking forward to this for ages

Gonna go ahead and advise everyone who jumped on oyster boy early, across the party, to maybe slow their rolls on the endorsement front for a bit.

Because you decided Harris wasn't good enough for you we now have a private company and the FDA in a pissing match.

Oop! He made his choices. Now face reality! “Our people don't trust you for this reason," said Webber, who is Black, after the crowd quieted to listen. "And you cannot win without us. So you stay here, you answer our questions, or you suffer the consequences." apple.news/AIbhygcPQTg2...

The New York Times reported Monday that dozens of U.S. service members were injured in three Iranian strikes last week that weren’t publicly disclosed by the Pentagon.

Holy shit, we're actually getting there. "UCLA researchers develop low-cost blood test to detect multiple cancers and other diseases from a single sample [—] In tests, MethylScan detected about 63% of cancers across all stages and roughly 55% of early-stage cancers." (from April) #ShareGoodNewsToo

Rep. Nancy Mace R-SC will not run in the snap GOP primary for Senate on August 11 in South Carolina to replace the late Lindsey Graham R-SC on the November ballot

BREAKING: Another person has died in ICE detention, marking 53 deaths since Trump retook office.

Sigh.

Embarrassing that Infantino has to run over to try to drag Trump off.

So many working people have joined our fight for fish, family, and freedom – and I'm deeply grateful for every one of them. Together, we're building a movement that can take back Alaska and take on the rigged system in DC.

This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning

i keep coming back to this. it's not about hating us. it's about degrading femininity as such, and reducing the definition of women to baby makers and ornaments. trans folk get in the way of that. so does women's sports. so does the fucking vote.

Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) to Sirius/XM Channel 124 about Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) health "I haven't heard a thing. Not an email, not a letter, not a call, not a video... absolutely nothing.... It's concerning."

Reposting this today because I think people forget how long it took us to dig out of the Great Recession economically. The entirety of the Obama administration was making up for lost jobs.

Thread.

Is she too old? Are you going to protest? Yes, it's red seat. Are you going to make them fight for it or not? Unless you expand the map it really wouldn't matter if you somehow got Platner past Collins.

It is positively absurd how much staging is required to make sure he *doesn't* walk off with whatever gold thingy that's being awarded and/or he's not in the damn photo. Definitely got the money's worth out of that FIFA peace prize, huh?🙄

I love how Infantino makes sure Trump never has sole possession of the trophy bc he knows what will happen if he gets his grubby little hands on it completely. Look at his face when Infantino is holding it without Trump's "help", he wants it for himself so bad.

I'm honored to have written the New York Times obituary for Denise Oliver-Velez, a trailblazing activist whose work offers lessons for us all. I'm especially grateful to her godchildren, who were very generous with their help during this time of mourning. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/u...

Good. This merger should never have been allowed to proceed in the first place. It is the pathway towards destroying freedom of the press and democracy.

Remember when Abdul El Sayed justified the Michigan Synagogue terrorist attack as "Hurt people, hurt people." That should have been the end of it.

So is it cool that he appeals to antisemitic voters who also happen to Republicans or what? www.politico.com/blogs/politi...

Should have voted Harris/Walz.
