Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Bring your case, where? To the same goons who ignored the overwhelming evidence of two impeachments? Who's gonna bring this?
Lay some blame on self-absorbed voters who didn't support the decent candidates because of racism, cruelty, or plain old stupidity. Americans have apathy and amnesia.
You saying it'd be okay to kidnap kids if Obama did it, too? You think he grabbed babies from their parents, through them in cages, lost track of the families, and to this day thousands of children remain separated? You Republicans are ignorant and cruel.
The more Californians hear about racist gerrymandering, like in TX & MO, the more we can get support for Prop. 50 to fight Republican cheating. When you're at war, you use all the ammunition you have.
It's the guns. Only one party has been trying to control weapons. Democrats are the Pro-life party.
The point - I guess I have to stay it louder - is that when you lift restrictions on protest because you happen to agree, you inure people to thinking of medical organizations as authoritative and neutral public bodies.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
No. The majority of voters who didn’t support Democrats are responsible for this crisis. They all knew what a deplorable criminal he is.
Truth!
A nation that elected ignorance and cruelty. We saw this last time Republicans had the power. We didn’t care then or now.
Black woman.
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
Who gives a hoot how this deplorable criminal is feeling? I want American democracy to be healthy. If he dies, he dies. But that sick GOP will still be destroying us.
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
You’re going to be frustrated as long as you expect journalism from corporate programming. This is designed to entertain. The hosts aren’t reporters. They’re paid to fill air between commercials.
Who gives a damn about this deplorable criminal’s health? I care about our national health because Republicans are spreading diseases and killing democracy. Can we focus on what’s happening to human rights, the environment, healthcare, & international relations? If he dies he dies.
Are we shocked that the creeps who got away with caging babies last time are going to mistreat children this time?
Okay then. Will fight it out in the traditional Democrats’ divide and let the unified Republicans elect another criminal to office.
W squandered Clinton’s budget surplus into the Great Recession. I’m seeing a Republican economic pattern.
🧵
Where’s the land of the free and the home of the brave? Not at Harvard.
The dumbest fuckery are those Republicans who voted for these deplorable creeps, listen to this drivel, & nod their heads in agreement. We’re a stupid nation now.
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
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)?
I wish Bernie Sanders shared your disgust for these creeps. He never condemned Stein and actually campaigned with West.
You're not going to learn anything on these programs. They intentionally invite these assholes instead of experts as their guests. The host will gently push back to be entertaining between commercial breaks. Science shouldn't be up for debate by someone like Lankford, on any format.
Imagine millions of Americans hearing this and nodding their heads in agreement. We're a stupid nation.
This should be picture of Mitch McConnell who used sleight of hand manipulations to undermine our democracy and set America up for the crisis we have today. He's the traitor. He's to blame.
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
Can we just focus on what's happening in our streets, the Epstein case, to healthcare & science & medical research & foreign aid? I don't give a damn about this deplorable criminal's health. I care about the health of my country. Republicans are literally spreading disease and killing democracy.
I'm old enough to remember which freedom-loving party owned Joe McCarthy.You see, this deplorable criminal didn't shape the GOP. He fit in. And yet, there are enough misinformed voters to put these goons back in power, due to apathy and amnesia.
Democrats are the Pro-life party.
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.
We knew immediately that DOGE wasn't about efficiency. Media sites and journalists haven't figured it out yet. Why do you choose a profession of information if you won't research & share accurate information?
Big lies that ignorant Americans still believe: Republicans aren't for freedom. Or pro-life. Or an example of family values. Nor are they fiscally responsible. It's time journalists spread some facts. Time media sites speak the truth.
I don't give a damn about this felon's health. I care about the health of my nation. Stop distracting us from the sickness, literal diseases, that Republicans are spreading every single day they're in power. If he dies, he dies. Creepy Vance won't be better. Democracy is dying on their watch.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Play General Milley's and General Eisenhower's speeches on our bases instead of airing Fox(not)News.
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
Nothing says "Nobel Peace" more than renaming Dept. of Defense as Department of War.
Nobody wants JD Vance. We want them all gone.
All the calling out in the country hasn't reduced, stopped, or repaired the damage of this corrupt administration. Who's gonna get everyone's attention and bring them out to the streets, and the polls?
for breaking through the wall of Democrats' boring normal weak campaign strategies.
Maybe we look at how effectively someone has governed as mayor and head of state? Maybe we stop tearing down anyone who has a chance to lead this nation from the most corrupt administration back to some semblance of democracy, but who isn't perfect? Give Gavin some credit
Another example of the lack of journalistic integrity that brought us to this crisis point. Why are they so afraid of using an educated vocabulary to accurately define what the corrupt GOP is doing?
Some good old fashioned star power at the sacred Hollywood Bowl. I love L. A.
Lunatics elected these morons.
There's a special place for the millions of ignorant, self-absorbed, racist, fools who let these morons take over our government. Blame the voters of the sick Republican party.
SOMEONE at the DNC needs to lead with creative strategies that effectively get decent people to the polls. Instead we have an impotent organization continuing their failed policies. The definition of insanity.
The CDC quietly did lots of work that keeps everyone safe. RFK ruining it is something that can negatively impact the health of millions of people. It’s both tragic and scary. www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
I don’t give a damn about this criminal’s health. I care about our national health. Republicans are sickening our Democracy.
This is fucking ridiculous! This is the waste fraud and abuse they were complaining about! Every American should be furious about this! Fuck Trump! 🤬
One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”
Florida defends the right to poison kids with raw milk www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
So Bernie wants credit for lifting the Social Security cap we’ve talked about for years. Who’s gonna get it passed and not just more talk?
"Congratulations to President Donald Trump and his whip-smart administration on turning America’s brave National Guard troops into the most expensive gardening crew in human history." https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2025/08/28/trump-national-guard-picking-up-trash-dc/85853498007/
Did Senators ask for access to see tortured hostages? What could Hamas not want them to see?
People are talking about this story that was just published by the AP within the last day or so. What I find most interesting about it is that I wrote about it a month ago covering all the same details found in the AP. Didn't even get a mention. Oof. open.substack.com/pub/extremea...
it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine
Democrats listen to the victims. Republicans interview the rapists.
People who are paying attention realize what’s happening to our government. But they already voted for Democrats.
The ignorance of the Republican leadership has kept these red states at the bottom rankings on quality of life issues. Yet, they refuse to elect Democrats who manage our most successful states with compassionate competence.
I don't give a damn about this criminal's health. I care about the health of the United States. Republicans are spreading a fascist sickness in our democracy. Can we stop being distracted by him? Where are the Epstein records? What's happening to kidnapped humans & their fractured families?
Are Americans stupid enough to fall for these good guys doing such good work? Never mind how disrespectful it is to the uniform. Disregard the $ we're spending, but can't afford to give to cancer research. These patriots & their commanders didn't sign up to protect us from litter and weeds.
We know the kidnappings are inhumane. We know civil rights are ignored. Who will be held accountable? Who's gonna bring every Gestapo thug & their handlers, from the streets to the White House, into a Nuremberg-style court? The suffering won't stop for years if we can't stop it now.
None of this will make a difference to the cowards & traitors Congress. Only focus on getting decent Americans to pay attention & show up to vote them out, down ballot, from now until 2029. Shake out the apathy and amnesia.
The inefficiency of DOGE was the first hint that their goal wasn't about efficiency. Maybe one day we will have a GOP that looks up from their red hats to care about how Americans are faring under their regime. Until then, vote them out, down the ballot, from now until 2029.
Nobody told us trickle down economics would create a huge gap in wealth except every respected economist for decades. Republicans are too ignorant to respect the facts of science or history that counter their grab for power. We've become a stupid, self-absorbed nation.
I find it curious that some folk turn every issue around to the horrific Gaza war. Some of us with concern for humanity in Palestine & Israel, are also concerned about what's happening to people in America or those desperate for our aid abroad. Both sides are not the same.
At least we can remove them from office. Vote for Democrats down the ballot at every election from now until 2029.
The military doesn't have the courage to fight for American values. Honoring a traitor wouldn't be allowed by brave armed forces.
How successful would the revolution have been if they had Fox(not)News, social media, and televised games to distract everyone from King George's rule?
I don't give a damn if the corrupt piece of dreck is alive or not I care that democracy is dying due to Republican ignorance, greed, and cruelty. There's a sickness in that party, spreading through America.
Another August 28 report by Noticias Univision Orlando cites warnings by ‘Ana’, the wife of a man being abused in the detention camp, that her husband has the coronavirus and is packed tightly into a cell crammed with many other detained people.
Trump did this
Every Republican accusation is a confession.
There has to be a way to communicate with Iowans who feel obligated to vote Republican. Democrats just need an honest campaign with the effective strategy.
I don't give a damn about what's wrong with this criminal. Something is seriously wrong with Americans who support his ignorance and cruelty.
Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
D.C. Mayor Bowser complimented the surge of federal agents in the nation's capital, saying that the numbers are helping bring down violent crime significantly.She didn't mention how it's also terrifying residents, & bringing down restaurant & retail businesses. I prefer Mayor Johnson's courage.
The only petition that counts is a vote on election day. Keep up the protests, & disobedience. Demand media outlets show outrage instead of treating this as "normal", or worse, "both sides".
Farmers & rural communities who depend on agriculture aren't expected to withdraw legacy support of Republicans. I doubt if they see which party has promoted the economy & healthcare for decades. Democrats are so bad at explaining how policies reach across into our nation's crannies & towns.
Local animal shelters are bursting with kittens Go look at them.
If Democrats take back the House they must decide how to convince idiots who didn't vote for them to also take back the Senate. This time they won't have to contend with the Manchin/Sinema detractors.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
"the national guard is picking up trash and putting down mulch, not stopping crime" sounds less like clown behavior and more like an actual propaganda effort at winning the hearts & minds of DC residents, so they became habituated to and even fond of the troops' presence
Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.
This isn't a news show. A real journalist would make a much bigger deal after 6 months reporting on the "destruction of our constitutional structure". Every host on these programs must step up & put truth above entertainment to fill air time between commercials their for-profit corporate bosses.
Oh, sit down Lisa. Chairman Cassidy dishonored his oath as a doctor when he was too cowardly to deny this unqualified piece of dreck the DHH job. Every Republican has dishonored your oaths to protect our Constitution. Treason is worse than your spineless capitulation to a fascist.
Or you could roast all the pieces at once and freeze them to use less energy 5 times.
The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.
“This is our moment to reassert what it means to be American by speaking out and pushing back. The victory of the weak, malignant and unprincipled man is not inevitable.” www.americaamerica.news/p/its-villai...
