Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?
This seems topical again. Best Chyron Error of all time! I took this photo myself of my TV screen. NOT Photoshopped.
At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)
He is worried about this. He is trying to get out some bs ahead of it.
Is today’s 2pm Trump thing the next level distraction for tomorrow’s presser with Epstein victims?
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!

RIP sir... a huge talent. "Graham Greene, a Canadian actor best known for his Oscar-nominated turn in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves,” died on Monday in Toronto after a battle with long illness. He was 73."
The rainbow wars in Floriduh are heating up and the state has ZERO credibility because they are arresting people for chalk and calling it “tampering with a traffic control device.”
We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.

President Biden - even with his cancer diagnosis - looked way better than that corpse looking Canklesorus. We missed you Joe!

"Even in a long line of anti-labor GOP presidents, Trump stands out. And while he may not succeed in completely destroying collective bargaining in America, he’s poised to strike terrible blows against organized labor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
What He Said…. 🤨🤨🤨🤨
The clearest case of genocide to come to the Court. Prof. William Schabas, on the US, Germany, Canada, and others: “To the extent that they are providing material assistance of a significant nature, they can be held responsible as accomplices to genocide.” www.populismstudies.org/professor-sc...

Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
Now watching Sinners. Wow. This movie sets itself in a real place and a real time with real dangers, and it is moving already. Just now in the first scene in the juke joint. Such a fantastic, interesting, wild take.
Private institutions are profiting from ICE detention centers just like they do prisons. States that align their police departments with ICE benefit from financial kickbacks; it’s a business model built to generate revenue. 👇🏾
DEVELOPING: ICE agents in Los Angeles are nothing but state-sanctioned thugs. One sprinted from behind a fence, tackled a protester, and the pack unloaded on bystanders with “less lethal” rounds. Then they dragged him across 4 lanes of traffic like prey. This is organized brutality.
Omg. Yes. www.criterionchannel.com/70s-thrillers

The White House is pressuring Europe to sanction India over Russian oil purchases, but India points to glaring double standards as Europe itself keeps buying Russian energy US tariffs on Indian goods spark tensions, pushing New Delhi closer to China euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/01/u...
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Is this what Trump is doing in DC? Any sign he is trying to backfill the farm worker gap he created with the homeless?
Where are the GOP sending homeless people? Are they still alive?
The U.S. Government is Forcibly Disappearing Migrants. Enforced disappearances are serious human rights violations that involve three key components: humanrightsfirst.org/library/the-...
Kräken's post inspired me to make a meme. Save & share because it should be seen broadly & made into bumper stickers, bridge signs & flyers. ICE is a fascist Gestapo-like secret police force with poorly trained goons that violate our rights & use maximum force to unconstitutionally abduct people.
FAFO, MAGA. Great work.
What could possibly go wrong?

Not hard to imagine Wall Street and the Techbros completely abandoning the US for China if that’s where the money is. Not hard at all.
China's Xi is hosting India's PM Modi and Putin RIGHT NOW - shaping the future of global power without America India's move toward Beijing is a MASSIVE MIDDLE FINGER to Trump - after he slapped India with crushing tariffs and insulted Modi by pushing him to nominate Trump for a Nobel Prize.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
An independent journalist warns Trump could send National Guard troops to cities beyond D.C., a move he’s reportedly plotting for years—raising fears of a disturbing show of force on American streets. www.rawstory.com/trump-267394...
Rs, before the Trump cult took hold, frequently railed (rightly so) against communist and fascist regimes that nationalized industry, indulged in crony capitalism, and substituted propaganda for free speech. (The five-year plan is working!) How times have changed. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Agreed. It’s also amazing how much water and energy is being used up to produce funny money, impossible porn, and clips of Battlestar Galactica as a 1920s silent movie. Are the Chinese keeping up?
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
Fuck Nazis.
2/ GOP gerrymandering fever moves to Missouri, where the Republican governor is willing to strip voting fights from citizens of his own state in service to Trump.
Don’t fuck with Canadians. They are full of piss and vinegar.
Trump doesn’t go home after declaring a false victory. That’s bad.
Sure, bud. Those painkillers are making you feel good but its time to face reality. The sands of time are trickling down.....
Gaza, where just a sip of water could kill you Israel has taken a series of steps during its genocide that has turned the water crisis in Gaza into an existential disaster www.thecanary.co/global/world...
Trump’s only focus right now is midterm voter suppression via illegal national voter ID mandate, redistricting in favor of more red house seats & removing ballot boxes and mail-in ballots. He’s terrified of being shellacked come 2026, and imprisoned come 2029.

This isn’t the first time the Q factory shipped this line to distract from Trump’s guilt and failures. Check it out.
Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
Let me get this straight, Israel killed the prime minister of Yemen and his entire cabinet? I get I was off this weekend, but holy shit, why haven't I heard this sooner?

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

Just saw a clip on ABC news that showed a small Guatemalan child being led to a plane for deportation with her ankles shackled. This country has lost its soul.
