👏👏👏
Everyone should be held to the same standards.
sad about future
The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.
Dear World, We felt we needed to say something while saying something is still allowed. We know many of you have lived under malevolent, unhinged dictators before, but this is new for us… johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...
Let’s raise taxes on the trillionaire.
When journalists give numbers like this and they are denied by the person they interview, they need to cut immediately and show the numbers and the source. Systematically, every time.
A massive anti-Trump protest is planned for October 18 by the “No Kings” coalition, opposing his authoritarian tactics and assaults on democracy and human rights. www.rawstory.com/trump-protes...
I wanna get so drunk tomorrow night. I just need a reason....
And then they came for the Barrels. And they totally got spoken for. Because they're were TONS of Crackers left. So they got the crack that smiles back 🥇🐠

And then they came for the crackers. And I did not speak out because I was not a barrel
🚨 BREAKING: Republicans are lashing out at the creators of this new ad. They're TERRIFIED. It must have struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as pedophile-protectors. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.
The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
Sometimes I feel like I'm just writing a soap opera for my therapist
Powerful Hurricane Erin underwent astonishingly rapid changes in its intensity — a phenomenon that has become far more common in recent years as the planet warms: cnn.it/3V5dix6

Lol seriously we cant fault him. How would someone so stupid know something like that?
Lol when you watch it without sound you can really see the horror set in
Tom Homan should be in prison.
Same guy.
Apparently my federal taxes pay for young dumb nazis to cover their faces and send them to foreign unknown prison camps. How's the price of eggs? ground.news/article/just...
This message + a good social media and independent journalist campaign will win you the election. Donated.
Establishment figures want to downplay progressive candidates, even though we're the ones providing real solutions. If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:
I'm from a tourist location in Colorado. It's in my personal religion to think Texas is stupid. But I'm more proud of Texas Democrats than any other politician in America right now. Great job taking a stand to protect the American values of fairness and checks on extremist, racist power.
This needs more eyes
Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down. That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Fastest like and repost I have. And ya know what, have a comment, for the algorithm
Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.
Dear Lord….its ALL of them! #ReleaseALLThe #EpsteinFiles
If you haven't already, claim exempt on your federal tax form at work. Save it and pay it in April if you want. But don't give the feds an interest-free cash advance so they can pay nazis to kidnap people and commit genocide.
The community is demanding we do something about major crimes so we started tackling jaywalkers and committing vehicular battery to boost our arrest numbers
Fuck the stock market reports, this is what real life is like
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “It makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.” ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue Indeed, it SHOULD be the story but alas…
Texas 18-year-old died of sepsis after 3 ER visits Despite bleeding and pain, 2 hospitals sent her home because the fetus had a heartbeat. The 3rd confirmed fetal death—but it was too late. She died. This is the deadly cost of abortion bans. Abortion is health care www.propublica.org/article/neva...
I'm filing exempt on my federal taxes and setting that money aside to pay exactly what's due come April. Probably. At a minimum, I'm not actively contributing to the horrors of this administration. I've named the bank account I'm saving the money in "Tiny Hand-outs"
Rep. Robert Garcia: "Trump is trying to rip away healthcare from 17 million people, he's giving tax breaks to billionaires, and he can't be trusted...He's hiding something. And Republicans in congress who want to help him conceal the Epstein files are now part of that cover-up."
So what are we actually getting back from paying federal taxes this year? As far as I can tell I dont want any of that shit
Sometimes the historical dictionary offers solace through the existence of an obsolete word that is sorely needed now. One of them is ‘respair’, recorded just once, in the 15th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
Check your language.
Their policies are already so unpopular, it’s no wonder congressional Republicans delayed the most harmful impacts until after the next election.
Feels like the NO KINGS protests came and went without much impact. Are there any more happening? I’m still pissed
All of us - not just those on Medicaid or food stamps - will be directly paying for the costs of the billionaire tax breaks in the Trump budget package. Here's how.
do yourself a favor and google brennan lee mulligan right now
Checks came in
It’s time to raise the minimum wage and raise taxes on billionaires to bring down the cost of health care, education, and housing.
Again, I am staking out my position more than 3 years in advance! My "demands" for getting my vote are simple: 1. Promise to undo the anti-trans actions taken by the Trump admin. 2. Promise not to roll back trans rights even further.
Release the Epstein files.
"The Government" isn't inept. Congressional representatives, senators, governors, and presidents make and maintain underfunded, poorly planned, and designed-to-fail programs and then staff them with incompetent morons.
One of the worst parts of today's politics is learning that the actual systems and rules didn't really matter. The only things that matter are the actions and morals of the people in power. There is maybe an upside to this. We can start focusing on the people responsible.
I Kurt myself Cobain, to see if I still feel
This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.
Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms. But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately. Remember this.
Jeez, and I can’t stress this enough, Louise.
Damn we're in a tight spot
was just reminded that my late beloved grandfather used to describe “the cask of amontillado” as “a story about a guy who drinks too much and gets plastered”
I'm so fucking glad I transitioned lmao
The bill that Republicans just passed: 💊 Cuts health care for 17 million. 💸 Increases costs by $480/year for employer-based insurance. ⚡️ Raises energy bills by over $700 for Texans. 🛒 Cuts SNAP benefits for 3 million people monthly. All to give tax cuts to billionaires.

ICE: The only government agency where a ski mask and no badge means “official business.”
VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest. This bill is unpopular because it is wrong. Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.
Who voted for these people? Who votes to give the richest of people on earth whatever they want? Why? youtube.com/shorts/rLf62...
This is totally my favorite way I've heard a politician talk about the Gross Disgusting Bill This is going to happen in the next couple of weeks and if there isn't a funding mechanism in place to replace everything these people are gutting, people are going to die youtube.com/shorts/-APur...
This is the lesson Democrats should heed from Zohran Mamdani's historic win.

Emails from congresspeople saying this is grounds for impeachment. HELL YES IT IS. DO IT ALREADY. At this point, having learned my lesson repeatedly, I will hit the donation button AFTER it happens.
oh my god

"THE END OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AS WE KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING NOW"
One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status." SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status" Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.
Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
Do you have a source on that number? I would LOVE to have that link in my back pocket during the upcoming conversations about the "LA Riots by the crazy libs" that I know are coming
I'd sign up today
Top stories of today: 1. Political assassination in Minnesota by Christian nationalist Trump supporter 2. Millions take to the street to oppose Trump and fascism 3. War continues between Israel and Iran with US more or less sidelined 4. Minor unrest in LA contained by local police That's it.

Really good crowd for Billings, Montana. Can’t wait to see how Missoula shows out.
