Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know her opponent’s name. That’s how desperate she is to keep her seat. I’m Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running against her. Share my name.

Half my coworkers at Taco Bell are homeless. Some live in their cars. One guy literally lives under a bridge. Apartments around here start at $2000/mo but I could rent a dilapidated trailer with plastic sheeting for doors for $850/mo
Once again, I reiterate that I will HAPPILY work without pay to stop this madness. I'll get my back pay.
endlessly grateful to exist, to trot with my buds and share stories. to look up at the moon and think about everyone else who has looked before. to have taste buds. to watch the seasons change. so many wonderful things are just GIVEN to us by existence, it can be hard to remember to say thanks
That’s really fucked up. I’m so sorry.
We thought No Kings Day in June would be a good protest. We did not know it would break records, with 2,169 protests in every state and 27 countries. We need your help to make October 18 even bigger: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
The number of people fired or suspended for speaking the truth about Charlie Kirk must serve as a reminder none of the far right are free speech advocates, they just want no limits on what they say.
I see no problem here.
Live your life in such a way that if people directly quote you after your death, no one will accuse them of "speaking ill of the dead."
Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

Hey, BlueSky — my sister is having a difficult time trying to get a Covid vax in Southern California. Has anyone been able to? Any advice? She has a medical condition that would qualify her, but still no dice
![Text exchange between me and my sister: Me: Did you see your doctor yet? I've made my appointment at Safeway for Friday, and if they give me grief, there's always this [link to sfgate article about Walgreens in California providing vaccines with “no proof needed”] Sister: How ironic. I called Walgreens yesterday, had a Goodr coupon to bring the cost down to around $85. Long story short, I showed up, had nothing but trouble, and 45 minutes later left with NO shot. Me: Grrr Sister: Yes, saw my doctor and she doesn't give shots. Me: Really?!? Sister: Too mad to deal with it now](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:shzrmbw7v2ad2iydlipf7rvr/bafkreigxqolcop5pyvtrzqpcqtvoqjfwokh7lxyfdjoqlgov7ft47qx2jy@jpeg "Click to view full size")

People talk about whether to take the 'high road' or 'low road' in response to MAGA clearly taking the low road. My response: Stay true to our values. It's not about playing ignorant and playing nice. It's about being true to what matters.
You are a good person.
I desperately hope for a return to this kind of debate.
3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).
I never wish death on anyone-not my place nor my right. And any and every death is a tragedy because it is either the loss of someone’s light, or the end of a life wasted with evil deeds. But I will absolutely not ignore an evil legacy out of some conception of respect that is an inherent right.
If you see something graphic a thing you can do is not instinctively hit repost but take a few seconds and consider if everyone wants to be traumatized by that and choose not to be the person who forces it into their feed non consensually.
Damn, friends, I’m sorry for both of you.
Hugs, play Tetris and whatever you can do to help yourself.
Hugs to you, Andy, for your past exposure.
Folks, as someone who watched an enormous amount of graphic footage in my time as a journalist and developed PTSD because of it, please do not watch the Charlie Kirk footage. Trust me. Once it's seared into your memory you cannot delete it.
Horrific and indefensible. indivisible.org/statements/i...
HORRIBLE. SICKENING. UNACCEPTABLE. In a democracy we settle our differences with words, ideas & actions, not hatred, guns & violence. #ShameOnUS
Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism' We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans
I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country.
We are horrified to learn of the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Political violence has no place in democracy. The foundation of democracy rests on the principle that differences can be debated vigorously, but peacefully, without intimidation or acts of violence.

No. This fight is about protecting democracy and the institutions staffed by Feds that are currently fighting for our existence and the missions of our agencies, which are being bulldozed by fascists who hate us. Use the power you have to push back on their systematic dismantling of the government.
CHICAGO AREA: put this number in your phone NOW and call them to get involved with stuff. www.icirr.org/fsn There are lots of other rapid response networks happening too, just mostly not visible, ask around to see where they are.
The white people who feel this way must be scared to be treated as they treat non-whites. Another projection issue.
I am so going to fail my Shiny? roll. I will cling to my fresh budget like a life preserver.

WATCH: “More often than not Republicans are against where Black folks are.” @rolandsmartin.bsky.social talks to Dan Koh about the importance of calling out lies, the need for Black perspectives, and how the media fails to call out Trump’s blatant racism. Full: youtu.be/318Zh_qPNNo?...

“Foucault’s Pendulum” is such a journey. One of my favorite books.
Tom Hanks is a national treasure tho.
UK government report based on internal civil service trial finds Copilot doesn’t increase productivity, and indeed makes Excel take longer and with more errors, and requires Powerpoint users to have ‘corrective action’ applied to their outputs. www.theregister.com/2025/09/04/m...
I would go so far as to say the ability of agencies to carry out their Mission Essential Functions is at risk.
Everyone who thinks you can just wait it out until the next election instead of pushing for removal just has no idea how bad it is or how fast it is collapsing
Highest level of support since Gallup started asking this question a quarter century ago
Can only imagine and thank everyone who is still there trying to keep things going. They are so appreciated and doing heroic efforts under insanely stupid and unnecessarily horrible circumstances.
Moore: "The National Guard is responsible during this occupation for 744 cubic yards of mulch spread, 886 bags of trash collected, 27 feet of fence pained...We did not have to ask these citizen soldiers to give up their lives and have Americans pay so we could paint fences."
And we must.
I get that for folks who see it at a distance or through the prism of the media perhaps do not understand how bad it is, but the federal government's state capacity is dying on the vine in front of everyone's eyes
Yes. I was talking to a retired fed and he was bemoaning all the lost institutional knowledge and I was like, “friend, we’re not going to have the institutions left”.
I honestly do not care about some pundit’s opinion on what a government shutdown may or may not look like in an election a year from now. We are beyond that. Whatever can be done to slow down this speed run towards authoritarianism is necessary and should be done.
At DOJ, at DOD, at the FBI….literally everywhere, this is what you hear over and over again.
This video (though terrible) is not BREAKING - it's from months ago - and this person is spreading misinformation at a very dangerous time for kicks and clicks. Block them.
Yes, please stop.
"By Any Means Necessary!" - Malcolm X
"I am quite certain that this moment deserves real opposition — that Democrats, morally speaking, should not fund a government that Trump is turning into a tool of personal enrichment and power." Important from @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. Hope Senate Dems listen to him.
I decided to test whether EXIF data is removed from images sent over X's new encrypted chat feature like Signal and other messengers do. I can confirm it is not. I was able to extract information including GPS coordinates from a test image sent to me.
Elkton, MD but if you have experience with rehabbing bottle babies I will drive them up to 1 hour away.
Really looking for anyone with bottle baby experience who could take on up to 5 2-week old kittens (or two 3 week old kittens). Things with mama Shiva are just not stabilizing and she is beginning to neglect the kittens and I am going to have to step in. I am beyond capacity, overwhelmed, exhausted.
“with AI, you will never again have to look at a spreadsheet.” this will be devastating for my friend paul, whose love for spreadsheets is second only to his love for his own children
New category unlocked. #AltMilitary 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have read Trump’s “war department” EO. This is nothing. He changed nothing. He added pretend secondary titles with no power under the law. He will make the government spend hundreds of millions for vanity labeling purposes. If you’re in the media and you don’t harp on that, you’re failing.
Dude needs to go play COD.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
Trump's DOJ is seeking to ban trans people from owning guns. This has absolutely no legal basis. Pure discrimination. The DOJ's corruption only serves his tyranny. Statistically, most mass shooters are cis men. Since they've abandoned the Constitution, why not ban them from owning guns?
#ProudBlue I believe you! I see you! Listening to the survivors today was gut wrenching. Shame on anyone protecting the predators! #EpsteinSurvivors #ReleaseTheFiles
And you have allies and friends!
Trump DOJ Reportedly Looking to Ban Trans Americans From Owning Guns
I have no kids. I would gladly contribute toward this.
September is #NationalPreparednessMonth. Preparedness is not just one month on the calendar; it's a year-round commitment. Free tools and resources are available:
Cool, now do ultra processed food.
For the good of our kids and all Americans, it’s time for RFK Jr. to resign.
This is a brilliant way to use speech or debate clause protections.
Really like this post. I have been pretty vocally pro-air con recently (mainly if it’s also used for clean heating tbf). But low cost passive cooling measures - shutters, awnings, urban trees - are great, and would improve our towns and cities a lot

As it should be.
McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."
There's kind of no such thing as a scandal when you are as shameless as this administration is. There is no way to make people this nakedly monstrous feel bad or backtrack. It's all about whether the systems in place to check their power to be wantonly/illegally cruel create consequences or not.
Trump's illegal tariffs are nothing more than a backdoor, national sales tax on the American people — all to help pay for the giant tax cut he gave his billionaire buddies. It's the ultimate betrayal, and SCOTUS should make clear it's unconstitutional.
How do we convince publishers to stop doing this? Bibliographies and footnotes matter. They should be printed. Websites decay faster all the time. Especially in an era of huge mergers like the one that created Penguin Random House, where calls for efficiency see pages culled at every chance.
So sorry for your mom and family. :(
WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024. It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness. They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.
HOLY CRAP—This one's mandatory reading. The race isn't over; We're. Not. Done. You in? 💥💙💙
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
“Why is the media doing this” We live in a dictatorship of capital where capitalist control virtually all spheres of life. Please understand this. It will bring you great clarity
Definitely a lost battle under this admin, but if we do eventually return to normalcy, would really appreciate a hard requirement that every announced use of force by the state be accompanied by stating the authority under which it occured
I love her leather shoes in that last pic. The whole vibe is awesome.
FYI folks, the Big Holidays coming up are: Rosh Hashanah is Mon 22 Sep-24 Sep Yom Kippur is Wed 1 Oct - 2 Oct And also? You don't have to KNOW who's Jewish to not schedule meetings these days. Just do it. (AND DON'T BE ALL "WE HAVE TO MOVE IT BECAUSE [PERSON] IS JEWISH" THAT'S TACKY & GROSS)
Glad to be a monthly supporter of you folks!
NEW: ProPublica is committed to increasing the diversity of our workplace as well as the journalism community more broadly, while ensuring equal opportunities for all. Each year we publish a report on those efforts. This is the report for 2025.
Seconded. We don’t need less politics, we need more of the other stuff. Sports. Sandwich wars. Pleated vs flat front trouser debates. Look at this hideous house on Zillow discussions. And for the things we need less of: you control the user experience, block / unfollow / mute certain words.
Woulda been nice if we had some contempt proceedings underway by now
Holy shit 30 of these have opened together tonight on my porch. Amazing.
