Looks like we found the vote fraud -- again!

The pope has finally weighed in on American politics. slate.trib.al/kgJhBKH

McElroy's message to reject indifference toward indiscriminate, violent deportation arrives with a desperately needed clarity amid the unfortunate clutter of voices on the issue, even within the church.

Leo continued: "Someone who says, 'I'm against abortion but I'm in favor of the death penalty,' is not really pro-life. Someone who says, 'I'm against abortion, but I'm in favor of the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life."

So well deserved for this true voting rights leader

I agree with most of this: economic populism, naming the wealthy villains, allowing disagreement within the coalition on cultural/social issues (even on guns, immigration, abortion --hard for us college-educated "progressives," but crucial) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/o...

Everything about J6, including the pardons and firings, might be worse, but this is close, and more awfulness is coming newrepublic.com/article/2009... via @newrepublic.com

And Pope Leo: Wealth like trillionaire Elon Musk's undermines “the value of human life, of the family, of the value of society.”

Democratic Socialists in New York and Paris are working on similar proposals to increase the income tax on their cities’ richest by two percentage points. Harold Meyerson dives into how governments around the world are working to tax the rich: trib.al/0mU1wXc

Important warnings and call to action here from my friend @hannahkfried.bsky.social

Excellent (and terrifying) analysis

Bill of Rights per Kavanaugh (and apparently 5 other justices): Go ahead and seize anyone who *looks* guilty to you, and only let them go if they can prove they're not guilty to your satisfaction.

Lincoln asked his audience to recommit itself to “the unfinished work” of preserving a nation “conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” It seems that Eric Schmitt, like many other national conservatives, believes that this work has already gone too far.

Trump fired an FTC commissioner for protecting workers. Twice. Under Lina Khan, the FTC banned noncompete agreements that cover one-fifth of workers and suppress wages. Thanks to Trump, workers will lose $400 billion over the next decade. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/qieh7jk

Republicans are suppressing their own voters. Political coalitions have shifted, but tactics have not. Why? Article by me. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Thank you, Gov. Healey, for your leadership in protecting my health and my loved ones'.

Thanks for this from my famous sister @sulliview.bsky.social I'd only add (as a nonpartisan journalist can't): also join your local Democratic Party (see your state party's website) to help make that "blue wave" happen! (even if the DNC isn't your fave, and even if you're not in a swing state)

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:

Thank you Governors ‪@govpritzker.illinois.gov‬ and Healey @massgovernor.bsky.social‬ for your public health leadership (especially for immunosuppressed like me). Need more "soft secession" like this, with state taxes on wealthy Trump-tax-cut winners to pay for it. newrepublic.com/article/1998...

Massachusetts has learned a couple things from Fair Share 'millionaires tax' revenue beating expectations: (1) Rich people are smart enough to stay in places that invest in the future; and (2) Income is terribly concentrated at the top.

Hasen: “Voter protection” in recent decades has not meant protection from government-led violence and intimidation, but it may come down to that. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/o...
