Hey Senators Graham & Thune this is also a good for you to.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Really J.D.? What jury convicted her of violating what law? What authority does an ICE or Border Patrol agent have over a U.S. citizen on a public highway?

Forbes magazine, not known for its leftist zeal, has the corrupt breakdown of who is benefiting from Trump's gangsterism in Venezuela. The usual suspects: Peter Singer, Goldman Sachs, and Koch Brothers.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

A lot of people have blood on their hands. Bari Weiss. Musk. Bezos. All those law firms. WaPo. Fox. They all and so many others emboldened this corrupt, criminial, cruel regime.

Agree. Disestablish DHS. Separate Customs from INS. Place the Coast Guard back into Department of Transportation.

Make it viral.

That he chooses the "me or your lying eyes?" approach, in the full knowledge that there are multiple videos out there, is a striking commentary on the nature of propaganda in the modern information environment.

"abolish ice" doesn't seem so extreme anymore, does it, you preposterous, normalizing fucks

I believe their lack of training is intentional. Miller & his gang at HHS want to provoke a civil war. Hegseth then can start ordering war crimes in American cities.

October 12

Kier Starmer "lily livered!" What a shock, NOT! Starmer was absolutely vicious toward the left-wing of the Labor Party but apparently has no stomach for taking on Trump or LeFarge.

the legislation wasn't really grabbing attention though, and the govt has been lily livered about standing up to Musk to say the least until now - it's been kind of a perfect storm

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Rubio understands how this will be interpreted; Chucky does not. JFC. Murphy or Van Hollen for Leader.

Here’s a new starter pack based on my recent Skircle posted below. These are great people to follow !

They never have been when you consider how credulously theyve long covered police shootings

@yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social on the threat posed by AI deepfakes of politicians, academics & others and where the problem lies - with the big tech companies.

In other words we are stealing it.

Leavitt: "All proceeds from the sale of Venezuelan crude oil and products will first settle in US-controlled accounts at globally recognized banks ... those funds will be dispersed for the benefit of the American people and the Venezuelan people at the discretion of the US government."

all they have to offer is abuse, why would you sign up for that bsky.app/profile/redl...

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

RFK Jr's phone starts quacking (a bit on the nose)

MAGA Republicans are expert at fraud. TFG in White House is a convicted fraudster. Senator Scott of Florida ran a HCA/Columbia that paid $1.7 billion in fines for Medicare fraud. Liars, fraudsters, & grifters all the way down.

I'm old enough to remember when CBS News and journalists like Edward R. Murrow held power to account, instead of capitulating to it.

Stephen Miller is doing high fives in the White House right now.

Yep.

Our first ad of 2026! Because politics stuck in 2006 won't meet the moment. It's time to stand up to ICE, white supremacists, and the billionaire oligarchy.

FYI: Pamela seems to be the only one out of thousands of fascist rioters who has come to this conclusion.

They've been a Trojan Horse for right wing extremism here in the UK for over a decade. Bari is an amateur by comparison.

Well, I have to give the Financial Times Credit. www.ft.com/content/ad94...

Amazing what Thune & Johnson choose "not to see."

Q: The White House on their website today blamed Capitol Police in part for the violence of January 6. Do you agree? THUNE: I haven't seen what they put on their website

Noticing that CNN is calling Jan. 6 a “riot,” not an “insurrection.” PSA: It was an insurrection.

this is how every outlet should refer to X

There’s is no shortage of people to blame for this particular moment in American history

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

There’s a Race to Power the Future. China Is Pulling Away. www.nytimes.com/interactive/... No, the U.S. turn to oil & gas is not driven by National Security. It is driven by greed & tribalism.

🇺🇲 VOTE 🇺🇲 THE RESET MUST BEGIN. WE NEED A GOVERNMENT THAT WORKS! VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙💙

The President of the United States today.

OH CANADA! 😳

This is what it means when Trump is in "control."
