Moved over from X. Mid-westerner. Slava Ukraina! Life-long Dem. Until we fix the right-wing propaganda hold on the populace, things will get rapidly worse.

I don’t know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her district…
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
In Ghislaine Maxwell’s Justice Department interview, she comes off as pathetic, loathsome, and utterly lacking in remorse. The entire operation was damage control—an attempt to exculpate President Trump from his own involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.

Weird, putting tariffs on construction materials and throwing day laborers in concentration camps should have solved the supply problem by now
Tom's solution: get all Democrats everywhere to stop talking like Democrats and saying things the GOP can weaponize. Great idea. NEVER gonna happen. We can't solve the REAL problem -GOP control of social media, skill at getting mainstream media to amplify attacks. But Tom's solution won't work.
Russia, Russia, Russia!! HOAX!! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Yeah, well, the totalitarian streak on the left is 5 inches wide. On the right, it's 50 feet. We would, in fact, be better off if Dems hadn't been so afraid of APPEARING totalitarion that they diddled around & let Trump skate. Brazil and South Korea did it better.

After banning visas for Palestinian children seeking medical care, the Trump administration is now banning any Palestinian passport holders from entering the United States. Extraordinary bigotry being converted into US policy. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
I agree that Israel has violated proportionality and that there are war crimes pretty clearly in evidence. But "no one's ever tried to starve the other side" is wrong, and saying that "well, it's okay if it's a fair fight" doesn't make starving people okay in one case and wrong in the other.
Anyone feel sorry that Big Balls was carjacked in DC? This was the catalyst for the Felon to send in NG troops.
Who knew hell had Truth Social? 😳👇
The thing I don’t get is the same press that is being kept at a distance from an obviously not hale and hearty president isn’t screaming for answers?
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
If you think I'm being a crass insensitive smartass about this now, wait until you see how I am if he actually does die.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
Rush Limbaugh (rest in piss) radicalized my father. I watched him grow into an even more hateful man, regurgitating every bitter, hateful sound byte he heard, consuming rush all hours of the day. He’s a large reason to blame for the disintegration and radicalization of Americans.
Hey! Just icymi: FEMA is now evicting THOUSANDS of Hurricane Helene survivors Our government hates us. And millions voted for this degree of brutality and cruelty. Why?
I hope it happens on a Monday bc I have no idea what I'm going to let myself get away with saying the following Sunday

Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
Want to know what Mormons think of women? A lot of nice LDS would say, “But not ME!” And I call BS. I can hear all the, “but why ruin 2 lives? We can’t undo what’s done , but…,”and it makes me ill.

Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )
Newsom responds to Trump’s odd post announcing he is going to bed early
Assuming he's sick, l just pray he follows the medical advice of "one of the world's foremost voices, advocates and experts on public health," RFK Jr.
One strange advantage of fascism is that a surprising number of intellectuals appear to find talking about it incredibly boring: it’s so facially evil. “Fascism bad” doesn’t seem worth anyone’s time so it often gets attacked only as part of a collateral attack on other, more interesting targets.
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.
One more unto the breach. It helps to sing "Scots, Wha Hae Wi Wallace Bled", or some other stirring anthem, while doing battle.
Actually, Limbaugh made the America we live in. He and his imitators took your neighbors who disagree with you because you're liberal and turned them into people who hate you because you're liberal.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?

Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.

Palestinians will be offered $5000 for their land, 4 years of rent subsidies, & a year of food—if they “voluntarily” leave. This is ethnic cleansing, a war crime If Palestinians don’t “voluntarily” leave, they’ll be placed into concentration camps & imprisoned. This is genocide & a war crime 2/4
"Sending away the 'others' to make way for white people to flourish is at the literal center of Gast’s painted vision of the West. That vision is reproduced in Homeland Security’s own videos." ICYMI:
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
Exclusive: President Trump and international partners are discussing plans to build a “Riviera of the Middle East” on the rubble of Gaza. One plan would establish U.S. control and pay all of Gaza’s more than 2 million population to leave.
This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didn’t like what that citizen was saying. This administration’s version of free speech is a joke.
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?
California stepping up.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
Fatality.

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...
Q: Would you welcome federal resources going into a part of South Carolina with a high crime rate? Nancy Mace: I hear that DC is safer than it's ever been…I look forward to watching the videos of soldiers entering Chicago
That is verifiably false - if you cared about Palestinians you’d never ever enable or even risk enabling Netanyahu’s best friend in office.If you reason like this “give me my fav candidate or I’ll hurt Palestinians, Ukrainians, immigrants, minorities, the planet…”you don’t care,you’re just selfish😌🤷♂️
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.

FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.

I wonder if Susan Collins will follow the lead of Joni Ernst and drop out because she knows she'll be trounced and most of her constituency hates her.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
#Pinks “From a purely psychological perspective, Newsom is getting more right than his critics realize. Research on anti-bullying interventions shows that having “social referents” deliver anti-conflict messages is more effective than traditional top-down approaches.” medium.com/@carmitage/b...
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
My Republican State Representative, Jeff Farnan, voted to sign away earned sick time after it passed by nearly 58%. He doesn’t care about the will of Missouri voters.

There actually IS a way to change prices week to week: YOU BLAME TARIFFS. The problem is that businesses are afraid to do that so they can’t
The “Is Trump dead” thing is amazing because it turns his health and frailty and physical degradation into a compelling meme
Liberals don't understand the role of influencers, which is MOSTLY NOT to incept ideas into the public consciousness. It's to make the liberal/Democratic viewpoint on existing subjects and topics look like the smart one.
