Wow!! Tell her I said “Happy Birthday!” She’s beautiful ❤️
Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.

The Constitution provides Congress the power to override a Presidential veto. They aren’t co equal on law passing. Congress is the superlative body.
I agree but this assumes a Congress peopled by grown-ups who are committed to their oath of office rather than a bunch of spineless adult grifters.
This is the way
When this time is over (& it will be) & somebody asks me to describe its nature & spirit, I shall play this clip. It embodies the whole cruelty, nastiness, sneer, indifference, cockiness, glee, inhumanity, & evil. It proves they knew what they did was illegal, but they did it happily, voluntarily.
Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.
I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.
On his first day back in the White House, Trump granted clemency to the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. That pardon gave them their freedom and even seemed to satisfy their initial calls for revenge.

I’d like to see cohesive messaging that can be taken to voters by precinct canvassing. Face-to-face makes a deeper impression on people. Also, DNC, fire your standard messaging contractor, wake the fuck up and Take It to the People: Medicare Medicaid Groceries Wages Inflation Kitchen Table Wins
I don't think "bet it all on the midterms" is a better strategy now than "bet it all on 24" was in 21, but if we're doing it anyway, I'd like to see the authors of that strategy at least working right now on the question of "how do we protect and encourage minority voting if ICE is at the polls?"
Is it true? Are you sure? Who wrote it? Why did they write it? Why did they write it *now*? What was the intent of it? When was it written? Is it implied to be recent when it may not be? Did it provoke a strong emotion when you read it? (2/5)
I am once again BEGGING you to check the sources, timelines, context, and truthfulness of the things you repost and share. (1/5)
Concur. I would call it “The media [il]literacy epidemic…”
I grew up during a time when the press would have demanded that the White House release the President's medical records and ask why no one has seen him for four days.
🤔 Strange timing: as Rosneft struggles under sanctions and Russia’s Venezuela oil stake reshuffles, the U.S. ramps up military ops near Venezuela under the banner of going after cartels. Hard not to wonder if there’s more at play than what’s being said. @housedemocrats.bsky.social
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
What we think serial killers look like vs what they actually look like:
A friend was in DC this past week and said, “Man, those National Guard folks are bored out of their minds.” That’s the farce of all this: there simply isn’t enough crime for them to do anything. So, fuck it, arrest people for chalking the pavement. At least it makes the day go by faster.
Sure, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is great, but does anyone remember Mary Shelley's revised ending?

Let the record show that I have never in my life hoped to hear that someone is dead as much as I am right now.
While we are ripping out all the governmental plumbing and laying waste to the federal government, the US is handing over world-wide hegemony to an authoritarian China without having fired a shot. History will not be kind to Americans.
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

This administration won’t stop until it undermines all our independent institutions and centralizes power under its far-right cronies. From the Fed to the CDC, they’re chasing out nonpartisan career professionals that don’t bow to their crazy ideas.

Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.
The fact that the United States Air Force is planning to honour the death of one of the traitors who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6 2021 should tell you exactly what you need to know about the current US government. Each day brings a new dishonour to the US and its once great institutions.
[TMZ-ish voice] It’s the hottest new trend! Yes, openly wishing for the President’s death is IN this season. The real hip trendsetters are saying it should extremely painful! …We’ll have more on this story after the break.
I live in one of the most multicultural areas of the UK and there is rarely a day where I'm not positively impacted by that - whether it's delicious food, really good local businesses or my incredibly kind neighbours. I'm not saying this as a political statement, more just a reality of my life.
Eagerly awaiting Stephen Miller's meltdown complaining how only radical Marxist judges would strike down the President's authority to levy taxes without congressional approval.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Thousands of Mike Johnson's own constituents are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage following the passage of a budget bill he pushed for. And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich. Don’t let him forget.

Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is not seeking reelection in 2026: www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p... Iowa swung hard to the right starting in 2016, but the 3 special elections that have happened in Iowa so far in 2025 have swung toward Dems by 22, 24, & 26 percentage points. Two seats have flipped blue.
The best way to change this perpetual cycle of mass shootings > blame game > nothing changes > more mass shootings is to start showing the crime scenes and the blood-soaked bodies of children. It worked for Emmett Till - it can work for dead kids.

They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
Those Reform nutjobs reminded me: "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."
It was always a choice between “I have a dream…” and what we’ve got now. I am ashamed, disheartened & Pissed this is what a plurality of Americans voted for.
