Bernie and his refusal to acknowledge that it became mathematically impossible to win directly feeds into January 6th. His supporters should sit with the fact that in the end, they weren't *FOR* Bernie either. They just needed a vehicle to rage against the Democratic Party.

We're nearing the 10 year anniversary of Bernie Sanders responding to his delegates starting a near riot at the Nevada Democratic Party state convention by....blaming the DNC for the behavior of his supporters. www.politico.com/story/2016/0...

What kind of person is motivated to reduce security around any school?

At least MAGA has been always honest in that they hate everyone who isn't them. Too many people looked at Trump, acknowledged he would be terrible, and still said it wasn't enough to vote against him.

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

Zokket is getting real tired of your shit

Environmentalists and book worms unite! 🌎🤝 📚 We put together a list of nine books to read this Earth Month: www.getty.edu/news/earth-m...

And yet when Liz Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris and did a couple of campaign events with her to highlight the clear and present danger of a second Trump presidency leftists acted as if it was the worst betrayal ever.

Twenty-nine people have died in ICE custody since October, the start of the federal government's fiscal year, already surpassing 2004's toll of 28, the previous record, according to government data. n.pr/4sLetjV

It's crazy there were people defending protesters harassing a random Jewish owned deli in NYC but then at the same time they made all types of excuses why they shouldn't be protesting literally netanyahu himself and republicans at a retreat when they control everything. Like are you for real?

"Again and again, with men who have caused real harm, often to Black women, society rushes in to protect their humanity instead of acknowledging the harm they have caused."

I'm certainly not claiming any special knowledge or that I called it (heck, I could be flat out wrong!) but we know how Trump operates.

I mean in Hogg's case he doesn't, and hasn't ever really, cared about gun control. there's a generation of narcissistic GenZ kids who wanted to be influencers and used popular with youth political issues, climate change, gun control, to do it thats all he is.

If you intentionally deadname or misgender horrible people, what you’re telling me is you only get my name and gender right because you’ve judged me worthy, and will stop doing so if I ever fall out of your favor.

What does it say about these people’s character? Once again…it’s not Black People that keep electing Republicans in TX or anywhere else. Y’all should have thought about THAT before going in the voting booth. Talk to your friends & family vs us. We’re not the problem & never have been. Enjoy 🤷🏾‍♀️

Yep.

"Miami’s project shows how one material can do two jobs at once, replace a dirty ingredient and trap extra carbon."

I mean, the leftists of the 1930s would look on today's leftists and sneer. Our leftists are too fucking scared to protest Republicans.

I don't know how I forgot about this. I said this too and got blocked by 50 people ans placed on several lists for it. Maybe because I'm Black or not part of the "working class" gimmick. 🤣

And while they've been media darlings for the right wing owned media, they've done NOTHING for their districts AND THEN BLAMED THE DEMOCRATS FOR THEIR OBSTRUCTION of everything Biden did. They WANT to watch stacked bodies burning, really badly, and you gullible asses bought it. Dumb as MAGAts

he's drinking because he knows he's not up to the job. from that POV, it's a rational decision on some level (I am being very meta/snarky here to be clear): he knows he's not able to perform up to standard, so he might as well forget there is one

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

About 8 in 10 of those arrested in Chicago’s “Operation Midway Blitz” had no criminal convictions, despite federal immigration officials repeatedly claiming that the aggressive operation was intended to target “the worst of the worst.”

VP @kamalaharris.com: Trump said he would bring prices down on day one. But instead, inflation is up, cost of groceries is up, gas is up, unemployment is up-- Audience member: Blood pressure's up. VP Harris: Blood pressure is up! I know that's right.

The United States had ICE CREAM SHIPS during World War II. A *fleet* of ice cream ships! www.wionews.com/world/-hungr... www.military.com/history/why-...

Beyond the gilded walls of Mar-a-Lago, too many families are struggling. In November, they will look for candidates who will listen to them and lead on behalf of all our kids.

As Governor, I safeguarded access to reproductive care and protected providers in Maine, but there is still more work to be done at the federal level. We are in a fight for our rights, and I am honored to have the support of Planned Parenthood Action Fund in this race.

"I'm sorry for using the r-word and then refusing to apologize for using the r-word" is something you expect to hear from a 14-year-old jerk, not a Senate candidate. And I'm done with hoodie-wearing politicians, period.

Just leaving this here for you Queers for Palestine folks...

Surprise sur-fuckin'-prise.

“Jet fuel prices have doubled since the start of the Iran conflict, affecting some lower profitability routes and flights which now are no longer economically feasible,” Air Canada said in a statement on Friday. “Schedule adjustments including some frequency reductions are being made in response.”

btw it was Hillary Clinton as Obama's Sec of State that changed policy to allow people to self-ID to change their passport markers (and introduced an X marker)

Yes, *that* Ruben Gallego.

UN officials stressed that the effectiveness of peacekeeping depends not only on operational improvements, but on political will. “The collective credibility of the United Nations depends on its ability and its determination to act when civilians are in danger.”

"The organization 314 Action, which recruits and backs Democratic scientists, engineers and health-care specialists to run for office, has received more than 700 applications from potential candidates seeking support during this election cycle — nearly triple its usual volume..." archive.ph/Jn8jl

One by one, big Bluesky accounts jump on the antisemitism train for clicks. Textbook antisemitism: equating Jewish bankers alone with a universal maxim. Did AIPAC make you do this? ZOG maybe? Yeah, we know all the tropes.

Hey Bluesky family! I need your help. I have a relative in LA that needs help finding a palimony attorney. Pro bono if possible. Any advice/names help

How much of our institutions in the future will be run by people who are visibly unwell because nobody wants to actually remove them?

If you hadn't freaked out over a single debate and pulled the lever for Biden/Harris, we might have been able to turn the page on the 2020 election denialism. Like COVID, these attitudes will be baked in. And let's be honest: the crash out over Biden's age was because you also hated that he won.

On California farms, workers say threats to deport them are on the rise. They described instances in which bosses threatened to call ICE on them, sometimes because they complained about workplace violations. @melissagomez.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

FFS. The questions about her background should have told you everything.

Every time I think about this, how we got good lgbt shit because Clinton and Biden either worked around or pressured Obama, I get so angry with how much energy“progressives” spent to vilify both of them. Unbelievable levels of malice and jealousy.

Not only did we have it, not only did Dems make it happen, but it was Hillary Fucking Clinton who made it happen. The one they refused to vote for the first go around and could’ve prevented all this awful shit (and given us more good shit)

Picard management tip: Study history. The answers are there.

We are literally at the point in history where the Pope is battling the Antichrist. 🍿

I am so sick of hearing about these so-called "decent" elected GOPers who really can't stand him & want to stop him but hey, it will fuck up their careers. And that's the difference between Dems & GOP. When the ACA was coming together, dems knew they'd lose seats, they still did the right thing.

Real talk. Far leftists seem to have this baseline delusion Americans are just Temporarily Embarrassed Progressives, and if Evil Baby-Eating Democrats didn't intentionally keep us down us poor widdle TEPs wouldn't be forced--forced! I tell you--to let Republicans win. It's their #1 insane delusion.

It’s been a pleasure to work with Mayor Elyse Tipton on issues facing the South Portland community. I’m thankful for her endorsement in this race!
