Yet, people wonder why Black folks are resting. 😒 THIS is what so many white voters continue to choose for us, as they ignore and dismiss the realities we’re forced to confront. Economic anxiety?? This is not about “classism” or capitalism. It’s racism.

"Long time citizen's voter registration canceled w/no notice due to Indiana law. Univ of FL study shows Indiana has rejected or canceled voter registrations of more than 60% of immigrant Hoosiers challenged under recent proof of citizenship law — not including several hundred with pending cases."

Sotomayor is reading her dissent in the trans sports case from the bench, which is an extraordinary, rare move reserved for what is essentially considered to be the most grievous injustice from a court majority. She did it yesterday too in the case allowing Trump to fire agency heads.

what the fuck did yall think she meant

They literally target Black and Jewish legislators because they are racist and antisemitic.

This part.... I know someone who flipped a red seat... someone who actually gets work done & has had her bills passed.... Rep. Underwood.

Texas Dems invited Vermont Jesus to speak at their convention. They are dumber than dirt. They really believe they can push this through and RW WP will vote for it, along with all non Yt Dems👇🏽🙄

This is such a disturbing flex. He’s basically acknowledging that he and Trump have raised the bar on what scandals presidents can get away with so much that Watergate was nothing compared to them today. True. But yikes.

I would happily endorse policies that are further left and vote for them whenever possible BUT...I'm going to side eye anyone who says in THIS political climate that there's "no war but class war" in a country not quietly resegregating itself.

*Looks over at Bernie Sanders placing a hold on Barack Obama’s appointments to the U.S.P.S Board of Governors before the quorum was lost & the Board was empty, leading directly to DeJoy & then this*

There are so many fucked up things about this, not least of which is that they tracked down this completely anodyne post quoting a news article from January and just happened to come to her in June, when she was working a polling place.

Yeah, along those lines, I get hives when people start complaining about Dems who are too conservative for their tastes, e.g., Slotkin. She just barely beat a Republican for the SENATE in a state that voted for Trump! Please be for real!

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

Useful idiots who will try to cost us the midterms and 2028. Who is behind Track AIPAC? A former GOP. Cory Archibald. Runs it from GERMANY FFS. FOREIGN INFLUENCE.

How many Tech Bros are in the #EpsteinFiles?

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

The cops shot and killed a 1 year old over a package of diapers. Now they tear-gas the people protesting the murdering cops.

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

Women make up nearly 50% of the NFL fan base and make 60 to 80% of household purchases. It would be so easy for us to tell the NFL we’re boycotting until they get their shit together when it comes to violence against women. But for some reason, we just never do it.

This is why they don’t give a shit if tariffs lead to farm bankruptcies.

ONE OF THE LARGEST DATA CENTERS ON EARTH If this is the future, communities deserve more than a press release and a ribbon-cutting. They deserve transparency, environmental review, and a real voice.

They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

I talk to a lot of folks in real life about data centers. I have never run into even one who supports them, aside from the folks sent to our towns to sell them to us. Dems should lean into this. The Rs are generally in favor of letting corporations steal our water and power and quality of life.

The woman who used to date Graham Platner I posted about yesterday & earlier who is covered in NY Post now did post a statement today at about 5:30. These are the screenshots & link to her post. She put this in a quote over the screenshots of her texts re the relationship. x.com/420mercymain...

Sigh. More crapola about Platner coming out via twitter. This young woman said she dated him for some months in 2021 and then found out he had been engaged the whole time

It’s called research. Methodology fraud — Track AIPAC lumped J Street (a pro-peace org that backed arms embargoes) into the same “AIPAC money” totals used to smear candidates — including Sen. Jon Ossoff, whom AIPAC itself ran attack ads against. Continued

Coming back to this to add that a response to any member of the media should be along the lines of "I'm not a surrogate for the Platner campaign. That's a question you should be asking the candidate or his surrogates." Do not compromise yourself in service of this man. It'll come back to bite you.

🚨🚨🚨 YOU STILL HAVE TIME to help David Costello, Andrea LaFlamme and/or even Janet Mills salvage the #MaineMess! --If you live in Maine, RANK ALL THREE (but NOT Platner) in whichever order you prefer! --Donate to Costello and/or LaFlamme! secure.actblue.com/donate/senat...

“Janet Mills is too old to be a Senator despite being a sitting Governor.” Meanwhile this is a picture of a real post linking to a real article today, about a guy downplaying the odds he runs again to lose another presidential primary, who already refiled to run for his Senate seat in 2030.

"U.S. Marine Corps machinegunner Sgt. Graham Platner says he wears his Blackwater baseball cap just to get a rise out of those who remember the controversial contractor for its heavy-handed tactics in providing security to diplomats and other VIPs as they traveled the mean streets of Baghdad."

Trump attending the #Knicks game means every fan and employee in MSG, along with Penn Station commuters, inconvenienced, huge New Year’s Eve-sized watch party outside MSG canceled, thereby severely hurting businesses catering to the partygoers. If you want him there to hear him being booed… (1/2)

Update; now no pedestrian or vehicular traffic between 30th and 35th between 5th and 8th Avenues starting at 4pm, 4.5 hours before tipoff and includes the busiest train station in the country and 100’s of businesses. Heart of Midtown. He ruins everything for everyone every time.

screworm outbreak is another good opportunity to remind americans that government is what protects us from things like this and not the magical free market. want safe food? government, bitch.

#StayReadyCrew in case you’re wondering… In 1 week we went from it not being here but 12 miles south of the border to 2 cases a few miles ago to 4 cases hundreds of miles apart. This has the potential to get ugly real fast. Don’t panic or hoard but plan ahead www.thehour.com/business/art...

"HR" in the modern masculinity poisoned mind is a stand-in for "woman who tells me i can't do something" and the most upsetting "no" many men can receive is regarding sex this explains ~everything

Brian Heywood and his friends wants to look at our daughters private parts, for her “protection” www.kuow.org/stories/tran...

BTW, Los Angeles Residents... There are 6,500 Ballots that need to be cured. What does that mean? It means you didn't sign and date the ballot that you left in the dropbox. You might be contacted by the County.

The woman who accused Platner of abuse/etc, Lindsey Fifield, has a lengthy post at the other place, FWIW:

Some in the Democratic chattering class will forgive a lot of things. The one unforgivable offense? Being old. Not bigoted opinions . Not bad judgment. Not moral failures. Just having too many birthdays. I am a forgiving person… but damn!

Graham Platner trying to explain away his behavior as *living a regular life* really evokes *locker room talk* for me. The normalization of men’s abuse of women has to stop. Abusing women is not regular or normal or in any way okay. I hope this gets called out by lots and lots of people.

I fxcks with Hunter… he’s a real one

To reiterate, Maine’s US Senate race is not settled! ME’s DEM primary is next week. And I believe that I have the most fitting background, knowledge, and experience to defeat Senator Susan Collins and to help in advancing real, substantive change in Washington (costelloforsenate.com) #MEpolitics

California, welcome to the jungle primary. Top two regardless of party make the general ballot. All voting centers open today. Same-day voter registration is available. Vote today — don’t let other folks decide for you.

On one side of the ledger, Platner has a Nazi tattoo, insults American military heroes, Black Americans, & rape survivors, & sexted to a dozen women on an app that pedophiles use. On the other side, he has absolutely no qualifications to be a United States Senator & knows nothing about policy.

I’m trying to keep up while also trying not to- but let me get this straight- Oyster dude is just as abhorrent as we thought AND his campaign dude who is fumbling the ball used to work for Fetterman’s campaign? Did I get that right? 😩😩🫠🫠😩🫠😩

ICE is already around Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park “doing security” for the World Cup, so please take any precautions you need to and avoid the area. Now would be a good time to get the “red cards” or Know Your Rights cards. I will link to them when I am less angry.

Maine! Vote David Costello!
