They can shove their sizzling fajitas up their asses!

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target. We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

HUGE.

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations. But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority. By @hannahallam.bsky.social

Georgia’s 14th District don’t forget to vote today. Polls are open until 7 p.m., so there’s still time. If you’re in line by 7, you can still cast your ballot!

This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.

It must be so so so so bad for the Rupert Murdoch owned WSJ to run this

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count... PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY! I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix. Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

They've reprogrammed the cultists brain chips.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers. So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️ https://actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-paramount-mega-media-monopoly/?source=group-ShortText

Shapiro on SOTU: First off, it was boring. It was poorly delivered, and it was too damn long. This dude, who’s the worst orator of our time, did two hours. He comes off as totally unhinged. He’s like spitting everywhere, and he’s lying constantly about things.

We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey. Sign up now to help it meet this moment. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Trump sits down and immediately describes his strikes on Iran as "war"

JUST IN: Jasmine Crockett concedes and urges Democrats to rally around James Talarico, who is now officially the party’s nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas.

How I arrived on BlueSky from X

BREAKING: James Talarico wins the Democratic Senate primary in Texas. Talarico ran on fighting corruption in DC, and winning back power for working people. In an era of vast inequality Talarico told voters that “billionaires are waging class warfare against the rest of us.”

Wow: In the early vote, it's a blow-out *so far*. Rodney Sadler, the progessive pastor and activist, leads state Representative Carla Cunningham 75% to 18%. (Stay tuned as we see how the Election Day vote compares, but that's an ominous start for the incumbent.) Context:

Add in a fourth primary in NC: Michael Wray, a former North Carolina Democratic lawmaker who helped the GOP override a bunch of Governor Cooper's vetoes before losing in 2024 to progressive challenger Rodney Pierce, was trying a comeback. He is down 62% to 38% so far.

NOT JUST THIS: Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers. This could be a major night in NC.

BREAKING: Roy Cooper is officially our Senate nominee in North Carolina. This makes NC our best Senate pickup opportunity in 2026. Let’s flip it. secure.actblue.com/donate/votse...

That’s it for Dan Crenshaw.

I am going to enthusiastically support whichever Democrat wins the US Senate primary in Texas and hope for the sake of the country that all Democrats do the same.

They're going to have nukes in a week. They interfered in the 2020 and 2024 Elections. They have ballistic missiles. Their leaders were killing their citizens. They've been at war with us for 47 years. Yeah, keep talking... jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/us-troops-...

Football players will pay no taxes in Mississippi on their licensing deals, which can sometimes be very lucrative in the millions. Teachers, cops, firefighters, construction workers - they still have to pay taxes on their income.

Melania will move on, and so will America.

Who told you to put the balm on? Did I tell you to put the balm on?

Did the Navy hospital boat make it to Greenland yet?

30 years of pre-programmed Fox facism has turned part of our population into a threat to the country and democracy.

Damn

Also seen is a Mar a Lardo guest popping their head in to ask where the shitter is.

uhhh oh my god

Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost? If not, why the fuck do we have a congress? Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to all these assholes since they do absolutely NOTHING!

And just like that MAGA were now Neocons.

To all the suckers that bought this crap. Fuck you!🖕

Don't support any elected officials who take money from OpenAI. Their lobbyist Cheri Bustos, ex DCCC chair, is now President of Next America Era that is taking money from all these freaks to promote "pro growth" ads ahead of 2026 and 2028. www.axios.com/2026/02/08/c...

No money for anything except endless war.

According to Nielsen, 'CBS Evening News' just recorded its lowest-rated February of the 21st century, averaging 4.4 million total viewers and 538,000 in the key 25-54 demographic.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

PSA for Wisconsin folks… but the underlying issue applies all around the country.
