Pls God, let us see real candidates and not David Hogg
after Biden won the primaries, the DNC rules are: primary winner bows out; then any & all candidates are able to lobby committed electors to get their votes. Bernie had tons to say & implement on ‘20 primaries. For a guy that loses, he’s got out sized input 🙄
Way over in the minor key. Billy Bragg and Wilco Famine. Sinead O’Connor
I disagree. I think it wld fit with the times. But it wld have to be for a new crowd of folks. More like Burton in “the spy who came in from the cold.” Or Clive Owens in “children of Men.” It’s why I liked the Dalton ones better.
I wish they’d keep the timing to the late ‘50s up to mid-60s. The movies put me to sleep at some point in each movie. Even the Daniel Craig ones. The books were so much more interesting. Drinker, touch of depression. The post ww2 Naval Brits were interesting—like Charles Dance in the crown
Do it! I had a friend who reduced the family’s week long vacation to 4 days and brought a nanny. She came back sunnier
Not really true. The Nazis were the largest party but not majority in Reichtag. With no clear majority in elections, all the fancy conservatives in power convinced von Hindenburg to appoint Hitler Chancellor. They thought they cld contain him. Within 2-3 months, Hitler made himself dictator
Wind River! “This case is practically solving itself.” 😹 I remember his wit and sarcasm from “thunderheart.”
Trump got more votes due to immigration—including an unheard of 45% of Latino voters. And tbf, racism and misogyny. I’d work on local and state primaries and elections to move the needle on the above issues. Especially in areas now where the town halls are in play and Rs resigning.
Mine gave me a sunburn.
They’re afraid now. Look at town halls and recent resignations and Iowa. Work on any state redistricting plan or primary right now. Be aware of a Fetterman. Lamb was fabulous but lost since Fetterman wanted pot legal & seemed more “progressive.” 🙄 Black ppl vote for harm reduction. Do that.
In addition. Call your senators and reps now on any single issue that’s vital to you. Kennedy, the 30 day rule on DC, ICE, etc. thru any attention to constituent relations at some level. Pls be registered. Find a local or state primary to be involved in. Canvass or work next summer on an election
And the actual findings showed the BC had protective effects! On memory and negative experiences. And Musk comes out to make it seem bad and fodder for RW laws.
And. If housing were really the worry, why say other nations come? Transplants are like converts. They over own it.
I forgot. 😔
Well. The cabinet he appointed has to initiate by a majority. Then sent to both houses and passes only by a 2/3 vote. We wiffed it had 8 mos ago when we could have voted for Harris. It’s not action movie. We have to vote in ‘26 and ‘28 for Dems. It’s hard work with canvassing and all.but 🤷♀️
Everyone’s line between art and artist is different. I can still appreciate Picasso;Van Morrison. I love Sinatra’s music but a DV-survivor friend gets ill. I’m glad I didn’t care about Clapton or Polanski. All the other questionables are easy for me to miss. Elia Kazan 🤮🤮.
I think the article misses a few places where Hitler was quite early on antisemitism. Adoring Mayor Lueger of Vienna —1900-10–for combining antisemitism and social reforms. Noting in 1920 that Jewish ppl were germs. And Mein Kampf 1923–has many instances of how to rid Germany of its Jews.
Dresden and London have entered the chat. Hiroshima Nagasaki Spain during civil war Ypres Kalisz Sarajevo Tripoli Mosul Atlanta
Cool. I don’t mind dem influencers getting paid. We can’t build a Fox empire. We can’t even get the RW media owners to ask for a presidential press conference on Trump’s health. And considering with they did with HRC16 and Biden health—we won’t get any air time.
I think Mermaid Avenue is one of top ten of all time
It’s different for a cult. 🤷♀️
The flu! She was stumbling at the 9/11 remembrance. And she was supposedly near death and beaten up in press for lack of transparency. How the pov changes by president and the RW media owners.
The ICC has a warrant out for Netanyahu for: war crimes and crimes against humanity. hope he’s in court for that. Meanwhile. We’ve heard Trump and his plan for Gaza-which Trump told us during the campaign. I’m not sure why ppl keep putting energy around one word and now missing this part
I absolutely know all the horror he’s done and continues to. And the weird plans for Greenland and their new frontier. A court of some kind has to make credible charges. And found guilty. That’s what needed.
Trump said he’d do it. What a horror
He told us during the campaign
🙄. He’s such a jerk
Why did they do that?? She was a great character
Ah!
I think the corded ones did. Not sure the cordless ones do
This sounds pretty Trumpy. Thiel’s an evil shit. But Thiel has not provided aid to our enemies. Imagine saying this while ppl are being kidnapped off the street. Why do we keep talking about impeaching Trump (done 2X already.) and impeaching SCOTUS judges. And cabinet members…
Omg!! Black women didn’t get the vote until 1965, not the 1920 date this guy says. John Brown is just “a fanatic??” To jail
She’s not used to being Daughter # 2
Of course these are the ppl who will be shook up.
Who cares? Can they move the needle? Were they already committed? Christ. “Dems, do something! Fight! Burn it all up.”
No. 77.3M voters elected Trump over the 75M of us who voted for Harris. It’s effing horrifying the scenes we’ve seen. I can only work towards the ‘26 and ‘28 elections. 💕💕
We impeached him twice when we had a Dem Congress. There’s no other way to get him gone but work and vote in ‘26 and ‘28.
A bit AI-ish. Not just em dashes. Bigger words
I love the suits. 😹. I had never heard of Beria before. Crikey. What a psycho.
What’s the accommodation for disabled ppl? It wasn’t quite clear
It seems as if you didn’t read my post. I’m not Latina. I voted for Harris. We need to start talking to those voters. It was a huge swing and devastating in a few states in terms of electoral college. It’s OK and necessary to talk with them and find out what about immigration made the difference
I think we need to ask the Latino voters who voted for Trump why they did. All exit polling said it was immigration. There is in fact no easy answer. However we need to have discussions to find out why it was such a winning issue with Trump voters—including immigrant Latinos
And sexism.
That almost too revolutionary war feel to it. Oth. It was where the a lot of the Handmaid’s Tale was set.
Yes. Lots of us remember. I kept a FB diary of a picture and thought each day. We’ve not had a national reckoning of loss and grief. I’m not sure we will now. The vaccine and lockdown are so politicized. I do wonder if ppl had the reckoning after the 1918 influenza.
You got the president you wanted. Maybe not the policies you thought he’d implement. But we all get played
Perfect! Since this is anniversary of Skynet recognizing itself
Omg! Yes. I wanna live there. Maybe being MI6 helped? I think the nurse’s daughter pays for her And the gangster’s mum got help. But all the others??
We know where you are, Saw.
How can she snoozle while that music’s playing?
Activist language: Let’s find homes/solutions for homeless ppl Families are going hungry and can no longer stretch their food budget If you’ve ever canvassed, and in areas with independents, you know how those voters talk and what excites them or puts them off even if they agree in principle
Bill Connor without the experience
I didn’t say he’d give a a shit. I said do it anyway. Cornyn as well. And the congressional rep. If we only took steps that had a guaranteed pay off, we’d do nothing. 🤷♀️.
What. That’s never happened before. What do they think? A Bolshevik revolution? 🙄. Or Huey Long? Ofc once you blue things up, they get blown up. There were no posties for the things they wanted to keep.
The child tax credit. Lifting kids out of poverty. Obama. Their heads exploded.
Crikey. I wish they had burned it. Why is every single thing we’ve made progress on now coming back and so quickly? I’ve read project 2025. I think he’s half way there within 8 mos!
Before Covid, actors and some lefties didn’t like vaccines since it meant their kid wld get autism. That’s an interesting zip code. There are indeed many parents who believed the now debunked research on vaccines and autism. That was both R and L
I adore how ppl make this whole character out of you, not based on writing, history and even the account. And it is verboten that you don’t allow ppl to respond. “Above scrutiny?” You don’t have that right! Pretty Soviet.
And as far as mahomes? Patrick should look at his own self and family. Swift is supposed to carry his water? 😎
Huh. She endorsed the 2 Dem TN senators in 2018. Endorsed Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024. She has vocally supported the lqbt community. Trump dissed her a while ago and now congratulates them. My cousin is practically a white nationalist and offers congrats to me. Am I splashed with his views?
Charlie the Unicorn on Candy Mountain wakes up with up with no kidney. 🦄😹
I’m soooo done with the doomers and their snark. 🤺
“Is it Jared?” That was your response so many times. I still use it in meetings when someone talks about a mediocre and fairly lucky white guy.
Dial-in
lol. You’re a clout chaser. Get your own followers.
lol. I lived under Newsome in CA and worked for the Harris campaign. He wasn’t even popular stateside and had a recall. Canvassing ppl—real voters—makes it clear what real ppl think. I’d love to know where you canvassed! But alas. You’re such a grumpy bear, I’m blocking.
He’s not gonna get to 270. He’s a CA liberal who can’t quite keep his current crowd. But. I think we need his snark and social media game. It brings us a wee bit of joy and bugs the hell out of the RW media and politicians. We have 3 years and the midterms next year.
God, what a freak he turned out to be.
Agreed!!we have our roles. Newsome has his (even tho it’s 3 years away ppl have lost their minds about him potentially winning.) The courts which have been a blessing. One of the judges who is staying the Cook TRO was appointed by Obama in 2011. I do like the D governors and AGs meeting weekly. 😎
This is a character from season 3 of White Lotus, played by Parker Posey. She has the best accent and is eccentric and rich. You could find her character’s delightful phrases on YouTube. She took lorazepam. My description doesn’t do it justice. She’s a blast.
I would. And Cornyn too. And your rep who may care even more. If you’re registered, they at least log it. It takes 10 mins tops to call all 3. I mean. Why not? And post what you said and their phone numbers. It’s about small things until it’s not
He’s supposed to listen as well! 😎
What! Teachers often make it easy with an Amazon list. There’s never been $$face cream on those lists. My niece teaches and I send her $$ to help her classroom. I can’t believe it’s called grifting
What horrible men
Call your state’s members of congress and senators. Calling is best. Leave name and concern and remind them you vote. (Pls be registered.) This weekend—Kennedy and how he must get gone. Next week—maybe DC and the 30 day rule for national guard. They care about constituent relations.
Sure. Locus of control says if we call our members of congress and senators and tell them to work stopping this illegal occupation of DC, they’ll listen since you’re a constituent. And are at least registered voter. Ask if they’re upcoming laws on the 30 day rule for DC and national guard.
Yes. The BBC is following this story and you’re right.
Lorazepam!
Ah. 🙄
Yes. I call it out in convos all the time. Never mind 300k Black women losing their jobs.
Prayer can work. Free will demands we also take action. As do the Gospels and St James. Prayers have not been enough obv. Otherwise we’d all just pray about DC
Go to those parents and say this crap. To their faces
He’d be dead. But those creepy looking dudes who get blood from kids or some such will be alive for all their wealth to build what they want. I do wonder. The article said “Russian-similar” tactics. It cld be Russia and the RW guys and whatever Trump is doing.
Poor Darth Vader. Undone by ragtag vigilantes and minor crooks and true believers without a ton of power in the beginning. 💪. Get the plans to the princess
Jesus. What an incredible actor. 5 years. And he suffered in silence to keep working for his family. That’s why I can’t stand public body shaming. He was dinged for losing so much weight. 😔
It’s hard. I have one sister who is now far more removed and we speak only at family gatherings. That’s it tho for any of them.
It’s shocking up here in update NY. We have Morelle who’s quite progressive and down to earth and answers constituent questions. Upstate tends to be more conservative than downstate. I’ve got 2 decent senators. I’m not jazzed by them however I sure don’t want to lose any more senators.
I was! I thought it was a dead issue. I now know from the BBC that it’s likely those RW eugenists like Thiel and his gang. They want to rebuild in Greenland to fashion their world with “connected tech.” I’m not sure how that wld work. I’ll be following the BBC on this one
It wouldn’t help in DC where we all belong tbh. Which is a sadness. Ppl would be shot. And it wld give Trump a real excuse for martial law imposition. I think it’s time to find primary candidates for local, state and federal openings. Like Iowa. And work like crazy for the one that appeals.
I know!! What a joy. I didn’t know she was that close to winning. Iowa. I hope this is a harbinger.
Call both your senators asap. Remind them you vote (if registered.) Calling is better than anything. Their offices care about constituent relations
Please write about the reinstating the Child Tax Credit. That way, kids are out of poverty and ppl can feed their kids better consistently.
Sports is a legit convo. No one but a pediatrician and parents need to be involved with gender affirming care. They’re the ones trying to prevent their kids from suicide. Not you.
A short bout of anxiety that needs meds. Can be resolved in one month. Agreed on other points. If your MD agrees, and writes up for short term use, it shd be ok. It’s a risk. But Covid is no joke and with no one mitigating risks we need the vaccine. And soon in case they haven’t made enough.
They represent the United States as federal agents. Not criminals. Supposedly.
You’re new here to this feed.
Is that the take away from this horror? The way to get these bloody thugs off our streets and lives and maybe have them imprisoned from a Nuremberg trial and get our ppl back is to change every R with a D Change every state legislature like Iowa is. And get Congress changed so Johnson won’t lead us
Open enrollment time. I love them. Reminds me of the good old days of Harry and Louise commercials against “Hillary Care.”
