Come on guys, let's be fair and speak plainly. They need the sweet data so they can better target with their social media and advertising campaigns to influence the hearts and minds of their voters. They absolutely need to COOK the elections here if they want to stay in power.

State Rep. Joanna McClinton has carefully wielded her power as Pa. House speaker. Now, she’s taking a more active role in pushing for the issues she cares about most, with special attention to the home care wage crisis.

I put on my tinfoil helmet and took a look into current Stingray technology, and it has a lot more capability than a cop without a warrant should have, but you know how that goes. I wonder how our Constitutional rights are ever regained from weaponized federal government?

Yeah, a white guy with a gun was where the line was drawn. Not only is this the Republicans demographic, the shadowy powers at the NRA decided to speak out against the shooting and disagreement with Trump Regime's language... we will never know who pulls who's strings.

You can feel NYT bitterness in how well Mamdani handled the blizzard. But fortunately they quote several random X users in order to balance out the reality of job well done with some attacks on the bitter enemy, the Mayor of New York.

Sometimes the news just hits in a way, like I can see why anarchist believe what they believe, because right now, right here, in my country, the billionaires are breaking the American experiment of being a secular inclusive democratic republic that I was raised on, that runs in my blood, 1/4

Stephen Miller and the Trump Regime are literally following the fascist playbook. “Gun rights for us, hell, we can murder someone in the middle of Fifth Ave., and still, with this billionaire funded propaganda machine, we more golden than ponyboy.” “Gun rights for you, ha, ownership means death.”

I wonder the operators of these fake cell tower Stingray devices can see on a person’s phone? Just the message? Encrypted data they can’t see? Your location? I suspect there was one operating in my area recently.

If it’s any comfort it has occurred to me that Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are still making their blacklist for their American Kristalnacht. #DumbFascism

Fucking democrats really need to roughen their language a little more and call a dog a dog. I’m sick of this shit. Here’s a metaphorical GIF

Trumps been trying to destroy this country for 10 years under the guise of fake populism.

I know we’ve talked about Trump pushing the global agricultural market away towards Brazil, China, Russia, but y’all know Canada is having longer growing seasons, higher yields, wheat, beans, and oddly enough, freer market?

Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage. Read more: https://wapo.st/4qGOx8M

Trump Administration is very seriously attacking and dismantling the far out ideas that our Founding Fathers fought a revolution for and put down in our founding documents. This isn’t an attack on brown skinned immigrants, it’s an attack on our nation. What’s made us good for the last 250 years.

@npr.org I do appreciate the the hourly news reports, but mentioning PR and its energy grid problems and leaving out they gave the contract to a Republican crony after the hurricane there is however got where we are today.

hahahan Yes, it is past time to take off the Aaron Sorkin tinted shades and get very serious about actively doing something other than whatever the fuck they were doing then.

Forget "1984", we are down the rabbit hole. Reminds when Trump prioritized trying to cook the numbers rather than try and stop and contain COVID. Fucking idiot "patriots" should be losing their minds about this kind of deadly government control snd thought policing.

If there was a slippery slope into a dystopian nightmare that makes "1984" look refined, we are halfway down and just zooming.

The unfortunate consensus is that this gets worse before it gets better. Too many people haven't felt enough pain or fully grasped that foundational American rhetoric is the antithesis of what Trump and the Republicans have done/are doing. We the people have got to take the power back!

The party of the wealthy establishment becoming the party of White Supremacy after LBJ, 50 year war on public education, then micro-targeted mass manipulation through the social media in our pocket. It is cooked, but we can still get some reprieve. Craven conservatives are slaves to the polls.

If this moron can figure it out... MAGAs are all either dumber than Roid Rogan or they can't accept they've sold their soul to the orange nazi...

Let us not forget that General Wesley Clark, no freaking angel, said that Trump was a pathological liar. Now he just has an idiotic sycophantic team around him that will say even more idiotic things defending his madness.

They also have neo-Nazis. What happened to being able to look at what is objectively stupid and bad and just call it the crap idea that it is?

remembering Trump's service right on the front lines of his own Personal Vietnam

Bessent: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

Yes. Objectively, absolutely. The avatar of a white man that is actually a believer in the principles and ideas enshrined in our founding Documents, Jack Smith, is a true patriot that only knows how to speak truth.

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

Trump is just realigning the Axis of Evil to be centered roughly over Mar-a-Lago.

I guess being a Democrat on Capitol Hill means having the ability to not punch the lying craven Nazi in a suit claiming to be a traditional American.

I remember that Capitol Hill Police and Nancy Pelosi had requested more security including troop and were denied by Trump's acting SecDef at the Pentagon.

Real radical progressive ideas she is trying to defend here, like the ones our Founding Fathers wrote down in The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. We had Due Process and the Rule of Law because real patriots fought and died for them. Now Trump and his MAGA want to take them away.

I am reading from Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" tonight after watching Jack Smith testimony and being questioned at the Capitol today, it seems the American conservative party has abandoned tradition in favor of self-destructive hate and greed. #DumbFascism

It seems very clear we are witnessing what has happened in other countries, in the past, and right now. I guess Republican leadership taking yacht trips with east European oligarchs in the Black Sea should have set off more alarms. Fox News, social media, and billionaires. #DumbFascism

So no probable cause. The is way past the point for state lawmakers to start deploying state forces to protect their constituents rights from Trump's gestapo.

Anytime a federal LEO fire their weapon in the line of duty a lot of things normally take place. Their gun is taken as evidence, their statement is taken, and there’s always an investigation. This able bodied shooter holstered his firearm, called the victim a bitch, walked to his truck, drove off

Hitler rose to power and enjoyed far more public support than Trump, but Germany had been suffering a catastrophic economic recession with astronomical inflation. Trump tried to do this to the solidly growing Biden economy with his tariffs and trade wars... and if you think that wasn't his plan SMH

So my laymen understanding of events is that Trump and his Gestapo have been flagrantly violating the law and court orders for months. They regularly violate the 4th and 5th, ignore Use of Force continuum, and have zero probable cause. Sure hope the midterm elections in 10 months save us. /s

The redcoats are sporting last year's Galls catalog gear, but still the same violations of the rights that formed the legal basis for the American Revolution. So Trump/Miller are saying the Founding Fathers were wrong, our founding documents are dead, and the boot on your neck is the new normal.

Tyranny, redcoats, no rule of law… sounds like time for some Common Sense and Declarations of Liberty and Freedom.

Heads up: The Trump admin has started arresting immigrants in Maine as part of a new federal operation targeting the state. The operation is intended to target immigrants from Somalia. People from countries including Sudan, Guatemala and Ethiopia were swept up on the first day of the operations.

I hope the rest of the world will find forgiveness to us Americans, like myself, who voted for Kamala, have worked for many years helping beat Republicans in elections, and are going crazy imagining nothing can be done until November. Here is one of my favorite songs.

Hoping you have the best day you can, no matter what they throw at us today.

"Back in the US, back in the USSR, you don't know how lucky you are!"

Sometimes I think about how popular shows like Frasier and the Big Bang Theory were with American viewers and realize I have absolutely nothing in common with the average American. Can't even get through 5 minutes of Rick & Morty.

I am of the strong opinion that state leaders, Governors, should be making a legal argument why these goons are not legally performing law enforcement, consistently violating the rights of American citizens, and are outright hurting and killing the innocent. Then sic their local law dogs on them.

Donald Trump wants to end freedom of speech and make it illegal to criticize him or his regime.

I am used to craven heartless Republicans not confronting Trump. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE: Democratic politicians like Governor Walz make legal arguments why ICE is illegally detaining people, illegally performing their mission, ignoring Use of Force continuum, 4th and 5th, and arrest these goons.

The Republicans in office are craven greedy monsters who have no love of nation. It should have been a tell a long time ago that the group waving the flag the hardest never cared about our country or its future.

Lots of fake accounts and false narratives going around, too. Just made a post about this, the gaslighting misinformation from 2018 midterms is back in time for 2026 midterms.
