"The first way back to a functioning democracy is to have a functioning Democratic Party that actually wins power and holds this administration in check" @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social joins @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social to discuss where the country stands five years later

OH CANADA! 😳

And I want the child rapists and people who are protecting them in jail and out of power.

Fucker does not even live in Alabama. Why is he your senator?

For fairly obvious reasons if you know me, I don't want to call this "Admin" party, but I'd be happy with... Task Party? Tedious Bullshit Party? Lots of possibilities.

Miller: WE WANTS IT WE WANTSSSS IT WE WANTS THE PRECIOUS GREENLAND STUPID DANISH HOBITSES!" #fixed

Amplifying the point here. The wealthiest person in the world and a massive supporter of right wing/eugenicist policies and politicians also created a program that creates/circulates sexual images of underage girls. The bigotry, eugenics, and sexual predation are deeply connected.

Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Seconding. Get off your ass, old man, and lead.

Get ready for a power vacuum and a civil war in Venezuela that we now own.

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

NO WAR. FULL STOP. Trump has already launched an unconstitutional war for oil. We’re organizing now. Join us TODAY for a protest sign–making party at campaign HQ as we prepare for the larger Emergency Day of Action downtown opposing war on Venezuela. 🕝 2:30–3:30 PM 📍 7016 N Clark St, Rogers Park

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

It's really sickening to see WaPo kissing up like this. Is there anybody left there with a conscience?

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

This means get your ballot into the mail as soon as you receive it. Vote early. Go to the polling place if you can.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Aided and abetted by a spineless Congress and enabled by power hungry right wing fascists.

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.

Oh and this too. Probably why we're at war right now.

Called both of my Senators, one of whom is (sigh) Chuck Schumer and demanded they impeach the insane motherfucker in the President's office RIGHT NOW. Call your reps too. This insanity cannot continue. This dick is worse than George III. #250yearsOfRevolution

Get that murderous asshole and his spit licking play soldier out of office right now before we end up in a nuclear war. Call your reps right now. Neither of them can remain. They are war criminals. Everything they do is illegal, immoral, and insane. Get. Them. Out. Now.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Lee: As a Black woman, there’s no way I don’t have hope. I’ve seen a lot in my life, and we have these moments of backward steps. But we have hope. I see hope. I see our young people—they have hope. I see them fighting hard for our democracy and for a better life.

Let's not lose sight of the big picture: We need to fight for a country where every person — no matter where they live, or who their parents are, or how much money they make — has real opportunity.

So typical for these stupid, racist fucks.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sound) DAY 2 JANUARY 2026 FIGHT ICE CRUELTY This footage from Oregon ICE AGENTS POSE AS UBER MASKED THUGS all over our Country using unlawful tactics, cruelty, brutality, & no warrants They prey on innocent people & children Bravo to this woman & everyone helping

🚨 some important information to share 🚨 Please listen This is for millions of us Who VOTE by mail. USPS changing post mark dates You Must VOTE early

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

Undeniably. Occupy scared the crap out of the oligarchs or it wouldn't have been dealt with so harshly. Even if all it did was wake people up to the possiblities of solidarity, it did its job.

TAX THE RICH.......

This shit right here. More truth and more hope than I've heard from Democratic "leadership" for years. Step aside white folks. Let the people who know how to lead, lead. That ain't Chuck Schumer. It's this guy, Mamdani, AOC. People with dreams and conscience and the will to make change.

Mamdani is showing the next Democratic president what to do in 2029

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Zohran’s inauguration brimmed w/the energy that NYC is “a shining beacon of possibility” per @jumaane.bsky.social. Amidst the darkness of authoritarianism, inequality & hate, we have a chance to show what’s possible. That’s always been our mission as New Yorkers—it was profoundly renewed today.
