other than the sound of the sammy smooshing a cbp agent's bulletproof vest

The fracking-powered Slop Machine has come for the artists.

sound smart about tariffs: buy this book

Highlights for climate hawks in local elections across the nation! Featuring @leadlocally.bsky.social and @climatecabinet.org candidates from Aislinn Kalob to Tara Zrinski

Ellis is concluding, with John Adams words to his wife in 1775 about the need to fight for the nascent American democracy. "Liberty once lost is lost forever."

I wonder when *any* mainstream national political reporter is going to notice that @kenmartin.bsky.social has been right about strategy and message for the @democrats.org all along cc @marcelias.bsky.social @davidoatkins.bsky.social @janekleeb.bsky.social

“I will tell you with metaphysical certainty: This Congress is not gonna nuke the filibuster. Period. Full stop.” - Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) I could think of better lines in the sand for this Congress to draw against the imperial ambitions of the Trump regime, but hey, at least it's a stand

great interview with @keyachatterjee.bsky.social and other #freedc activists on the daily work of @freedcproject.bsky.social to restore our democracy

see, it's like buying insurance, except

Jared Isaacman, the billionaire Space X fanboy picked to take over NASA, plans to eviscerate the agency

Trump's insane FY2026 budget proposed slashing Goddard's work force by 42%. Congress ignored that on a bipartisan basis. Russ Vought is blatantly, illegally moving forward with the plan anyway.

I'm gonna keep quoting myself until this crime against civilization starts getting serious notice.

Apropos of nothing

The ecomodernists are concern trolls.

"We will work tirelessly to make lights shine again in the hallways of NYCHA developments where they have long flickered." Could Zohran Mamdani be reading @cplusc.bsky.social? @aldasky.bsky.social, @kmc39.bsky.social, and @ruthygourevitch.bsky.social's proposal for a GND for NYCHA.

it can if you eat it

I dunno man it's so hard to get mustard stains out of kevlar

The Origami Caucus of Senate Dems (that is, the ones trying to fold to the GOP on the Russ Vought-enabling shutdown) have been pushed back by the Constitutional defenders like @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @merkley.senate.gov

Your reminder that @kenmartin.bsky.social and the DNC immediately and enthusiastically backed @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, even though the two NYC-based heads of the Congressional Democrats, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov, didn't.

KHAAAAAAAAN!

American voters delivered a stinging rebuke to the fossil-fueled Trump autogolpe at the ballot box, putting Democrats in charge of the governor’s mansion and legislatures in Virginia and New Jersey, and giving climate hawks a foothold on the Georgia Public Service Commission.

"Ackman is a jerk. Has he been right yet? … Does he know anything about politics? No. Does he live in New York City? No. He lives in Chappaqua, the whitest suburb in America, where even the lawn jockeys are white." - Curtis Sliwa

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

“The cost of living goes up. Our pay doesn’t,” said Nakia Lomax, a massage therapist in Delaware. “My credit cards are maxed out from buying food. There’s been times where my husband and I, we’ve gone hungry just to make sure that our daughter and our son eat.” My latest:

It's really too bad Dick Cheney did not live to see this moment.

The Democratic wave in the Virginia House of Delegates is an absolute tsunami

this is pretty much the historical Democratic Party coalition, built on the solidarity that comes from hating plutocrats

Mayor Mamdani

It is pretty wild that @abigailspanberger.com is going to be Virginia's first female governor.
