Great framing.

Listen. Exhibition or no, that is a ri-dic-u-lous stat line against a ranked opponent.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

If you want to find a local food bank, you can use the website below. If you’re donating, it’s best to donate money. If you want to donate food, PLEASE donate food you or your family would actually eat, including things like breakfast cereals and snack foods. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

[me at the vet] here’s all my money, i don’t care, whatever it takes, do u need more [me at my dr] a $20 copay, that’s outrageous

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

The couple suing "are just people, U.S. citizens, that don’t like their house being torn down without going through proper procedures." Right on, Virginia couple. Thank you for defending our house.

This is precisely how the Trump Foundation worked. He raised money and then spent it on himself. Which got him banned from operating a charity.

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

See that red X off the Pacific coast of Colombia? That’s where the US military recently blew up a boat, thousands of miles from the United States. There’s virtually no chance the boat was smuggling drugs into America, if it was even carrying drugs at all.

Donald Trump's tearing down of the East Wing is illegal, and our leaders need to be saying so. He is breaking the law and betraying the country. This has become a rule of law issue now. savingplaces.org/stories/nati...

Many people are saying the Republicans shut down the government to bulldoze the White House without permission and build the Epstein ballroom.

None of this is legal! People are choosing to break the law! Other people are choosing not to hold them accountable! What the fuck!!!

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Whenever you hear someone invoke the unitary executive, remember the image below. This was an inevitable result of the unitary executive theory: Empowering a president to tyrannically destroy institutions that ensured our government reflects the rule of law rather than his personal whim.

We can participate in democracy and be flawed while also having non-negotiable. No nazis. No racists. We aren’t abandoning trans people. Triple the minimum wage. Universal healthcare. Reproductive freedom. Etc etc etc. Stand for something! Appeasement accomplishes very little.

My guy Jon Scheyer deservedly coming in at #11. 😈 People forget how epic his senior season was.

I mean this is viscerally upsetting because it's really genuinely him treating the white house like it's his own personal property; he's the king and it's his palace. No other president ever thought like this, even if they were a fucking horrible person, because it goes against our founding creed

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

wtf does the universe have against this guy? it’s just cruel at this point.

The Republican shutdown means that nonessential federal employees like soldiers and TSA agents aren't being paid anymore, but rest assured that the truly vital work of this administration -- building a Dancing with the Stars ballroom for the dementia-addled president -- still goes on.

I’d say this is damn good reason for Democrats to hold fast to the shutdown until Republicans agree to protect ACA credits.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Y’all, I am begging you to not give into rage-baiting. Bluesky doesn’t have an algorithm. The only way anyone will see a post from someone they don’t follow on bluesky is if it’s replied to or reposted. The way we beat trolls here is to starve them out. Block them and move on.

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

The Dem base is now way, way to the left of its elected representatives, for sure. Boomer moms are out in the streets begging Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to get their shit together and fight back.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Same energy

#NoKings Miami!

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

Billionaires are always inserting themselves into situations when it is unneeded or unwanted but when their influence could be useful, they aren’t around. Anyway. Mark Cuban is an IU alum. He could fund that student newspaper in perpetuity with pocket change. Or withhold institutional donations.

I wonder if these guys talk about Biden in their sleep.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

We’re making fun of her, but it really is beyond the pale at the White House press secretary would say this in public and it would not be a scandal.

what i wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall in Putin’s office when he recounts these calls to his pals.

Our job on Saturday is to show up in numbers so great that the MAGA argument pivots from "They hate America" to "All those pictures are fake."

Top 10 Rally Reminders for #NoKingsDayOct18th

Generating a 5 second video is the energy equivalent of running a microwave for an HOUR

tl;dr this is, as I've been screaming into the wind about for a week now, not just illegal as shit but fundamentally means the Constitution as written is no longer in effect That said if you want an even deeper dive on the subject than I've done, this is a very good thread

*looks directly at camera*

any and all violent attacks on the No Kings protests should be laid squarely at the feet of these instigators.

Bravo to Sunny for this.

Mike Johnson, fake Christian, doesn't think a Republican congressman beating up his girlfriend is "really serious."

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.
