It would be nice if the media was as interested in Ken Paxton as they are in Graham Platner.

I am about a twelfth-generation American. My ancestors have lived in PA, NY, NJ, MO, CT, IA, and more. According to the Constitution I am an American citizen, not because of any of that, but because I was born in America. If it can be taken from one person, it can and will be taken from any person.

some liberals (not all), when trans rights come up:

Tolkien's fox is still one of the finer moments of 20th century literature!

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

I see lots of folks saying "we can't vote ourselves out of this." Listen; there is a big difference between a tilted election and a rigged election. They wouldn't be fighting so hard to tilt it in their favor if the outcome were assured. Regardless of the state of things, your vote can only help.

*stops using fb* fb: "Hey! Things are happening! You're missing them! Life is passing you by! We found twenty attractive people you don't know but could request to be friends with! Don't you see all these must-read notifications!? PLEASE COME BACK!!!" That just makes me want to visit less...

The best possible outcome at this point would be if the Virginia legislature were to pull Ohio '22 from the Republican playbook:

180 days until November 3.

Someone said these were the inverse of each other and I can’t stop thinking about it

"Table 47 ordered General Tso's, nix the Orange Chicken and start over."

I love this essay very much!!!!

I love how people in the US says AOC can't win in 2028, but they keep putting her name next to other candidates as their choice. Sometimes as president with a "supporting" vice president, or as vice president. Come on. Who are you trying to fool? AOC will be president. Winners ignore the haters.

What happened to this RFK Jr?

When politicians and certain journalists say the economy is doing well, remember that stock market indeces, GDP, and employment rate do not reflect income or wealth inequality. When they say the economy is doing well, that means it's doing well for the rich.

trump: *is insane* ABC: "Look how normal he is! Wow, he's just like other presidents!" (This article mentions three other disputes, one with Bush II on stem cells, another with Clinton on abortion, and a third with someone named "Trump" on the border wall)

The beef between the president and the Pope boils down to this, I think; trump believes he governs with divine authority, and that the Pope is a politician.

Hearing about the Hungarian Elections today.

We elected you to Congress to be a check on executive power, not a spectator. You swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to protect a man who threatens democracy, threatens war, and threatens the future. Stop hiding behind voters. Stop punting responsibility. DO YOUR JOBS.👇

Someone should read this into the congressional record.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Damn right. Texans need to vote out all of the state’s leadership. Greg Abbott. John Cornyn. Ken Paxton. These MF’ers have gotta go. Ted Cruz isn’t on the ballot but he’s one of the worst elected officials in the state. Y’all can get his raggedy ass in 2028.

I'm so proud of you all 🥹

It's not necessarily a bad day, when you haven't crashed into the ground. But when the ground is conspicuously missing, one can't help but suspect that bad days are approaching.

Better late than never...

Arm women, and disarm their oppressors. The future they desire can not be allowed.

The moon has incredible power. It never asks what broke you; it simply appears—night after night—and reminds us that even darkness has its light. Sometimes you tremble with pain, sometimes you sit silently, simply breathing. Either way, the moon listens—and somehow, that's enough to keep you upright

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

I may never have related to a post more than I relate to this.

No. Might does not make right.

Rick Barot ♥️ A beautiful reminder of what poetry can do.

Goodnight all.

The most frustrating part about following public opinion polls these days.

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

No company should be able to sue for tariff refunds unless it can prove that it did not raise prices on any products or services as a result of the tariffs. All other refunds should go directly to the public.

Written in 1942 by Captain Wilm Hosenfeld but chillingly true for today.

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Not going to lie, really tired of all these folks saying Democrats shouldn't run a female candidate in 2028. It's cowardice to discount literally all women as unelectable. Until we collectively commit to being better than our worst impulses, they shall be the norm.
