BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spainās constitution so they ācan never be undone.ā

Bravo Steve. Fantastic analysis.

Good grief!
Read this "Democrats need to organize their future politics around the simple reality that the establishment media is structural hostile to the Democratic Party. This doesnāt mean every journalist individually, of course. But the establishment media generally ā the Times, the Post, the Journal, CNN,

Iām overwhelmed just reading this Ryan.
Thank you so much!
the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
Have you heard this good news? SUSHI FOR BESSIE THE COW Feeding and raising livestock accounts for roughly 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but new studies show that giving grazing cattle a seaweed supplement reduced methane emissions by almost 40%. www.popsci.com/environment/...

The news media is so broken.
Itās also they are NOT PROVIDING the proper context for the pardon which is that Trumps incoming head of FBI personally vowed to keep investigating Hunter the MSM is in cahoots with Trump
The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of whatās wrong with American media: Is it a story? Sure. But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.
1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs
Today would be a great time for our federal government and leaders in Congress to take a hard look at the Insurrection Act and national emergency processes and figure out what their plan is if they are implemented illegally. That would be great guys.

A few important fact to remember: S. Korea lived under some form of military dictatorship from 1965-1988! Brazil lived under a military dictatorship from 1964-1985! Democracy is not an abstraction to these folk, it's a vulnerable thing that they want to protect.

I'm GLAD President Biden pardoned Hunter. Hunter already paid his back taxes with interest, and has maintained his sobriety despite the harassment, attacks and baseless accusations. It had NOTHING to do with law & order - it was about revenge. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...
And I disagree. Its ok.

No. Go register voters and educate them about the stakes and long term consequences of this current election and how they will have to spend their future in repairing our nation.
I joined Rev. Sharpton on @politicsnation-msnbc.flipboard.com.ap.brid.gy last night to talk about antisemitism, white supremacy, racism ā and the urgency of ensuring our pro-democracy coalitions donāt fracture at this critical moment.
Tuning. Not breaking.
ProPublica. BBC. The New Republic. AP.
This is not pro-life. Itās pro-death when Drās canāt perform emergency D&C for a miscarriage when a woman is hemorrhaging out of fear. This is infuriating.
Hence my dislike of āburn it all downā leftist rhetoric.
It's so weird to me that the word "disrupt" has taken on this glow in the eyes of some (strange) people. You can disrupt a school play by standing up and screaming profanities. Disruption is quite easy, especially if you have enough money and power. It doesn't suggest you'll do any better.
I've been thinking about what looks like it's going to be a bleak future for America and the one thing I'm going to do is lay what happens on the doorstep of the Republican Party rather than just on the flaming yam because they are going to enable him.
Sinclair Broadcasting's 294 television stations in 89 markets beams fetid right wing propaganda into millions of American homes 24/7, but a jew co-funds the purchase of some radio stations through proxy relationships several layers deep and suddenly government intervention is required
So did Larry Hogan.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy had a person they pushed to be in the Trump admin: Russell Vought. Here's our profile of Vought from @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social . I wanted to take a moment to re-up it, and explain a few things that matter www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Pete Hegseth could not even join the Army today because we donāt support extremism in the military. He was removed from a deployment, got out, then wrote a letter titled āFuck Bidenā. This is not how an Officer behaves. He should not lead the U.S. military. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

From rapes and sex trafficking to briberyā¦ Scandal Reminder: Pam Bondi, Trumpās alternate AG nominee, took $25,000 from Trump then declined to prosecute him for fraud. In September of 2013, the Trump Foundation broke federal law by giving an illegal $25,000 contribution to a PAC backing Bondiā¦

The follow up news was a quick letdown
True story: Several times I have been at concerts and sporting events when the line for the womenās restroom was 40-50 people long. Many of us āladiesā decided to use the menās restroom instead. You know why? Because we had to pee. No fucks about our genitalia.
This column is a conspiracy theory, & it has dozens of fellow conspiracy theorists raging against Democrats rather than Republicans. It's a conspiracy theory bc: 1) There's no evidence there was a sustainable charge 2) Bc there was no sustainable charge, there's even less evidence Garland involved
I will never not be mad about what we were denied! A perfectly balanced ticket of brilliant and decent people!
First JD Vance called Trump āAmericaās Hitlerā Then RFK Jr compared him to Hitler Letās not forget his former Defense Secretary ALSO compared Trump to the Nazis Plus his Chief of Staff John Kelly and Chairman of Joint Chiefs Mark Milley Both called him a fascist These were all HIS PEOPLE
I havenāt figured this out yet, thank you!
Before I saw the picture I thought you were talking about Pete Hegsethās tattoos.
As Floridaās AG, Pam Bondi was basically an arm of the Trump Organization: In March 2016, the Trump Foundation broke the law by contributing $25k to support her as FL AG. Worse, the contribution was given as Bondiās office was deciding on legal action related to Trump University. Quid Pro Quo.
The way these facts hit, oof! š£
OH in a Panera: "I had a dentist who said, 'You're from Allegheny County,' and when I asked how he knew, he said, 'I can always tell an Allegheny County mouth because they didn't put fluoride in the water.'"
Guys seriously if someone say ādrop a blue heart to show supportā or āretweet to show supportā the person you want to support will never see that. Itās a scam. It just gets the OP more engagement. Stop doing that. Joe isnāt seeing any birthday wishes from here; heās not on BlueSky. Itās a bot.
He just goes from bad to worse. This one is anti-Obamacare. I remember too in 2005 after Katrina - she got a dog that was found in Alabama and when the original owners found out where there dog was found and where it went, they asked for it back. Pam refused. She's always been an ass.

In a states that banned abortion, no one is surprised that women are dying. We heard about Amber Thurman and Candi Miller. Whatās makes the situation more dire and disturbing is that they want to hide it from the public. Happening in Georgiaā¦ www.propublica.org/article/geor...
Pretty much the worst thing to have in a powerful leader is for them to be delusional. This is by far the most dangerous attribute of Trump/MAGA.
im on every app. im in your city, in your neighborhood. the sales associate who handed you a large when you asked for a medium? that was me. i am now behind you.

Hi! (Maāam but thatās ok!)
An equal amount of birds die flying into glass windows of buildings we humans designed. I want to turn the gaze towards ourselves too.
Thereās a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake ā a distraction to boost the real candidate ā but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.
A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. Iāve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. Iām concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. Iām ready to do my part. Whoās with me?
Every. Vote. Counts. 8 days after Republican Maine State Rep. Lucas Lanigan turned himself into police on an aggravated assault charge for strangling his "romantic partner" after she confronted him about an affair... He won re-election- by ONE vote. www.bangordailynews.com/2024/11/21/p...
The GOP is like a domestic abuser. They want to be able to use, abuse, and control us and thank them for the privilege.
Likewise.
Itās not a Russian spy ring. Itās a Justice Department graphic showing Venmo payments to girls by Gaetz and Greenberg.
I am gonna repeat this here as often as needed. The "Department of Government Efficiency" is not a department. To make a whole new cabinet level department requires an act of Congress.
Sir, I join Bluesky and find you and see George freaking Takei shared your post?!?
Ouch. But he has a point.
The first rule of persuasion is whoever controls the topic controls the outcome You do not, actually, have to debate people who want you to debate them! Deny the debate Deny the premise of the debate Deny the idea of a debate Thatās how you win a debate you donāt control the topic of
Criminal conduct and sexual deviance aside, most of these nominees are unqualified for the job. That should be enough.
On the 4 appellate nominations ceded by Schumer to Trump, fwiw: "āThe trade was four circuit nominees ā all lacking the votes to get confirmed ā for more than triple the number of additional judges moving forward,ā a spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said." I want more info.

Watch this!!! Letās be very clear on whatās being reported: Matt Gaetz allegedly had sex with a 17 year old girl, two separate times at a party in 2017. Thatās rape! @mattgaetz should never be in public service againā¼ļø
You can 100% tell this brotha is not used to being called out for being misogynistic by the way ādearā rolls off his lipsāand Abby Phillip shuts down the disrespect in the classiest wayā¦ āPlease do not address a grown woman as dear in a condescending tone. Do not do that at my table.ā
The Linda McMahon ring boy scandal is basically like the Jerry Sandusky situation at Penn State. One caused the downfall of a head coach who had near mythic status. The other is going to become Secretary of Education and face little to no scrutiny.
Listen to @votevets.bsky.social Hegseth is also a credibly accused rapist He paid out a settlement to a woman he drugged and raped Then made her sign an NDA Our Military Deserves Better
EXACTLY THIS š¢ āHow do democracies die? They die slowly because the masses arenāt paying attentionā¦ until, when they notice, itās too late.ā āWhat is the first rule of not allowing authoritarianism? Do not obey in advanceā¦ do not acquiesce.ā @tarasetmayer.bsky.social

PCE inflation has fallen to 2.1%ānearly at its 2% targetāand incomes are up nearly $4,000. The economy has grown 12.6% under President Bidenāmore than any presidential term this century. 16 million jobs created and the lowest unemployment in 50 years. šØ Do not let Trump take any credit for this.
Hereās Pete Hegseth, a Fox star and Trumpās pick to be secretary of the Department of Defense. Hegseth is a credibly accused rapist, who paid a secret financial settlement to a woman he allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted ā then coerced her into signing an NDA, fearing that an allegationā¦
RELEASE THE REPORT ANYWAY! Itās great news that a POS like Gaetz will not be Attorney General, but he doesnāt deserve to serve in any public capacity! Does anyone know if he can reclaim the seat he won in the new Congress now that he already resigned from this term?
In other words, ditching the Constitution.
One of the biggest issues with US voters is they do not always understand what their votes affect. Hoosiers continually complain about what happens in Indiana, yet year after year elect Republicans to run it without question.
