The RNC thought it had found a new way to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of lawful voters. It spent millions building a case in an attempt to use disenfranchisement as a systematic tool to gain partisan advantage. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

I literally have stopped watching American morning news. I watch CBC News, Al Jazeera and BBC News

Once again, it's astounding not only that the Supreme Court believes the presidency should have even *more* power than it currently has, but that they're doing it for this guy

If Mitch McConnell and his family want privacy, he should resign. Otherwise, he needs to reveal his condition and advise of his ability to do his job.

With heat waves shattering temperature records across the globe, leading to needless deaths, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.

McConnell's evil machinations got us where we are today. He had many opportunities to derail the Trump crazy train, but instead connived endlessly, convinced of his great Machiavellian powers, stacking SCOTUS and giving Trump free rein (or free "reign") to demolish our government and social order.

Agree. I think the judges on any particular case should be selected randomly from the total judges. We can put 9 judges on each particular case. And the shadow docket needs to be abolished.

2028- expand to 13, add term limits, enforceable ethics code. Any candidate not backing that should be ignored.

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

I don't give a shit about football, but I just heard my favourite stat about this World Cup. Every single country taking part has universal healthcare... Except one. Can you guess ?

According to this video, many voting systems have built-in cellular modems, despite the naive claim by elections officials that the machines are offline from the internet. Software can be installed via modem. Malware can be installed via modem. Tycoon has an army of outlaw hackers. (See eg: DOGE)

This research should make headlines everywhere. Bluesky's algorithms should work to make sure as many people as possible see it. Musk publicly said he won 2024 for Trump. He just didn't say how. Trump thanked Musk for his great knowledge of the Pennsylvania vote counting machines. Silence from MSM!

You know what’s a greater threat to our country? Having a president so stupid he doesn’t understand the differences between socialism, communism, and fascism.

It seems the USA's 'manifest destiny' is to elect the very worst people among them and destroy the democracy they swore to defend.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social is what a politician should be.

GOP Gov. Mike DeWine: "It is not in the United States' interest, certainly not in Ohio's interest, to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, buying houses, and really are contributing, and yank them out."

That was really stupid and careless of Michael Dell to go into a insider trading deal with Trump. Eventually, the new administration will have to order SEC to investigate all stock transactions involving Trump and his billionaire cronies!

Sunday, a day of religious contemplation. 😆

13 Justices. Rotated in from each circuit. Limited terms. Binding code of conduct.

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

Someone should look into how he won all the swing states by just enough to avoid an automatic recount

Still find it hard to believe that Pedo McCheeto won all of the swing states without a little help from some friends.

What they taught in school: GDP up = good. What they left out: The atmosphere has a limit Soil can die Water runs out 8 billion people need a living planet, not just a growing economy

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

Vote for law-abiding public servants. And take someone with you to the polling place! Be a part of the civic responsibility wave! #getthevoteout at #eightypluspercent

AOC: “If you don’t want to be prosecuted, don’t do crimes”.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on Kushner & Ivanka: “Now Albania's anti-corruption police are getting involved… do you think Jared Kushner would get special island-buying privileges if he weren't the President's son-in-law? And isn't he supposed to be doing diplomacy, not shady land deals?”

Two ICE agents showed up at a polling place to threaten a poll worker into taking down a social media post about the agent who shot Renée Good. If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

I love nature because it is so honest. It never deceives me. It never jokes. (Henry David Thoreau)

Did you see what the vandals did to the East Wing?!?!

Has someone been arrested for bulldozing down the east wing of the White House?

America's largest #windfarm is now fully operational, marking a major milestone in the transition to #renewableenergy. The massive project consists of hundreds of wind turbines spread across multiple sites generating enough electricity to power one mio homes www.eia.gov/todayinenerg... #ActOnClimate

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."

When it takes 5 grown men, several with firearms, to arrest one unarmed woman with a sign and a shirt that says We the People, you might be living in a dictatorship 🤬

newrepublic.com/article/2123... Judge Reed. He said, during sentencing, he was giving these sentences to stop any future demonstrator with similar ideology.

Happy 78th birthday to Kathy Bates! 🎂 #KathyBates #Misery #Titanic

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Vote for public servants willing to legislate to control corruption and return the choice to the citizen as an individual with voice and vote. And take someone with you to the polling place! Be a part of the civic responsibility wave! #getthevoteout at #eightypluspercent

This is exactly what we need.

-From Quarks to Quasars 1/ Fired government scientists just launched a new site to keep climate data public.The site is called Climate.us & it was created by former staffers behind Climate.gov, the NOAA-run website long used by many for trusted climate information."
