Yep! America was uniting against pedophiles. Even Kirk called for the release of the #EPSTEINfiles They're taking the opportunity to bury the #EPSTEIN story. Let's honor the brave trump/ #EPSTEIN victims who spoke up. Call Congress + demand they do the right thing. #EPSTEIN #EPSTEIN #EPSTEIN

That "win" in '92 gave the #CorporateDems all the ammo they needed to force out pro-worker #Democrats & install more & more pro-business candidates who don't necessarily hate working people, but definitely don't give a tinker's cuss about them, either. #TaxWealthNotWork @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
When @billclinton.bsky.social & the @democrats.org "won" the Presidential Election in 1992, they only got 43% of the popular vote because #ConcernedCitizen #RossPerot siphoned 19% of the vote away from #GHWBush. Part of the #NewDemocrats' strategy was to abandon #workers & chase #surburbia /2
#BillClinton and the #DemocraticLeadershipCouncil and the #ProgressivePolicyInstitute (now the #CenterForNewLiberalism) all don't care if your children & grandchildren live in #poverty. They might not "want" it, strictly speaking, but they don't actually care if it happens. @sanders.senate.gov /1
Who's your favorite #hypocritical #Republican #MAGA bigot who inveighs against people asking to be called by a name they prefer? Mine is Senator Rafael #Cruz, who goes by "Ted." Why are they OK with nicknames, especially ones that aren't simply shortened versions of the real legal name?
#Trump, #MAGA, & #Republican politicians want your #children & #grandchildren to be poor & die in #poverty. The #BigUglyBill is closing #ruralhospitals today even though the "actual" cuts don't hit until after #Nov2026. @sanders.senate.gov @podsaveamerica.crooked.com @majorityreport.bsky.social

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...
Pretty sure this is one of the only things I'll agree with #Trump on which means it's either not gonna happen, get super watered down, or get reversed by courts. #Pharma advertising in #America is obscene. Like most of our for-profit medical system, of course.
#Democrats tried many many times but either got blocked by #Republicans or preemptively surrendered to get what they calculated was achievable. Whenever #Dems get consolidated power again they need to push the envelope very, very hard. No more capitulation!!
Fuck off. Kirk was a bigot who brainwashed vulnerable young men to join his bigotry. He said MLK Jr was evil. None of that means he should've been shot. He sure as shit doesn't deserve any praise or benefit of the doubt.
@shawnforcongress.bsky.social let's kick the Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body #MAGA pick-me girl to the curb in favor of someone who'll work for the people of Georgia's 14th! #TeamGeorgia! (although as a #GeorgiaTech grad I'm honor-bound to say "to hell with Georgia!") @crockett.house.gov #GA14
I just assume anyone that says "Democrat Party" is a right winger. That phrasing is so awkward only people who mainly consume right wing media would use it.
I'm never going to subscribe to our otherwise follow am account that uses the term "Democrat Party" That's a "secret" slur that Republic Party assholes use to identify themselves. There is no such party.
And since I'm sure it will become the new "I condemn Hamas," I will clearly state: I condemn political violence.
#DavidBrooks whitewashing the hell out of vile #bigot #CharlieKirk who didn't "just talk" but built a hate engine that infected young men with poisonous ideas. He "bolstered" his bullshit by "debating" people with no debate skills. He was no match against skilled debaters. @pbsnews.org #NewsHour

There are violent American left wingers but not nearly as many & not nearly as violent as violent American right wingers. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social brings the receipts... All the "This Has Got To Stop" left-leaning pundits need to quit coddling #Republicans & indulging their #bothsides bullshit.
I'm glad that Reinhard Hetdrich was attacked by anti-Nazis in 1942 and died a few days later from his injuries. That was a thing that happened that deserved to be celebrated at the time by the people he was actively harming at the time.
This is awesome! Be sure to keep an eye on GA SD21 coming up in 2 weeks. #DebraShigley is a force to be reckoned with. @winnabledemraces.bsky.social probably can collaborate! @votesaveamerica.crooked.com
I'm getting seriously #GaryPilled y'all. #CompoundInterest only works if there's unowned stuff to grow into. The #Earth is owned. The #wealthy can only grow their wealth by taking from the #MiddleClass & #Workers. They'll make our #children & #grandchildren poor. @garyseconomics.bsky.social
The way to bring more equality is either #employeeownership or #unionization. The former achieves wealth sharing by #cooperation. The latter achieves it by - for lack of a better term - force. #Taxation and #redistribution can work but require care and diligence.
By my count that's 15 out of 27 complaints our #Founders had against Mad King George. Some of those 27 would be pretty impossible today (I think... I hope...) What the actual fuck. (My apologies for leaving in the "Savages" thing but I didn't want to take too much editorial license...)
"He has excited domestic #insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."
"For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:" "He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us."
"For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:" "For cutting off our #Trade with all parts of the world:" "For imposing #Taxes on us without our Consent:" "For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:"
"He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power." "He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:"
"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance." "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the #Consent of our legislatures."
"He has obstructed the Administration of #Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing #Judiciary powers." "He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries."
"He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them."
#Trump, #MAGA, and #Republicans... "He has refused his Assent to #Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."
So my child is studying the #DeclarationOfIndependence and was tasked with "summarizing" it. I got inspired and pulled up a dramatic reading of it. ...Then it got weird, because the list of grievances is... eerily familiar to today. (This is a thread post I hope it works, & forgive the abbrev.)
Have you seen some of the work by @garyseconomics.bsky.social ? Specifically his exposure of #RightWing parties and #Wealth hoarders as engines of #poverty for our #children and #grandchildren? #TaxWealthNotWork #Organize We have to take our wealth back! @jonlovett.bsky.social
#TodayILearned about @patrioticmillionaires.org while watching @garyseconomics.bsky.social. 💯 Agree we need #taxexperts to figure out a #WealthTax. The answer will be like #ALEC in #America: we write the legislation then give it to electeds to pass. @majorityreport.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov

It really picked up after #SCOTUS struck down the #FairnessDoctrine (linked below for anyone unfamiliar). We probably won't recover fully unless #Congress passes a law to do what the FD used to do. As long as it's legal to lie and call it news, we'll always be paying catch-up.

#Trump is going to try a #stunt tomorrow to take attention away from the #Epstein victims, probably by #invading #Illinois. Don't let him. Tomorrow is about the #EpsteinVictims. We can deal with the #NationalGuard abuse on Thursday. I'm sure the video will be very titillating. Don't fall for it.
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
🚨Regarding the #Pentagon and #SpaceForce announcements: Reps @rokhanna.bsky.social (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) are holding a press conference tomorrow, 9/3, 10:30am, with ten victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking. Link to watch live: youtube.com/live/q6fUosr... 🗣️ Release the Epstein files
Actually I'd love to brainstorm it. "I know #FOX 'News' & #Republicans & #MAGA & #Trump take their orders from random anonymous basement-dwelling shitposters like #CatTurd but the #Democratic Party doesn't. So don't tar us with some #PickMe dumbass when we have real actual positions staked out."
Cheated. The people hoping for you or the #GrimReaper or a successful #Luigi to do the job need to look at the apparatus around #Trump & the people it sucked in & the people who will likely try to keep it going. They won't just go away. This is a long term #struggle we need to engage in... #FuckMAGA
The main diff & where #Democrats & allied groups are outplayed is the "spotlight" problem. Gatekeeper asshats who alienate "normal" people are literally random posters, (nearly) never elected or otherwise high ranking Dems. But #FOX & #Trump & #MAGA elevate them. We have to overcome that somehow.

I think two things can be true, the election may have been cheated (actual vote total manipulation) AND #Democrats are trapped in the past where #norms and #bipartisanship were useful tools. We're not going to #DefeatMAGA by playing by the old rules. #Jeffries & #Schumer are in the way of that.
I wonder what SpiritualStreetfighter is... I'm not going on #Xitter to find out...

I agree broadly speaking but my snarky reply that came to mind was "the Harris 2024 campaign would like a word."
Just spent over an hour walking around #downtown #Atlanta. There was no #crime & no overbearing #police presence. A #homeless guy asked if we'd didn't want our takeout food. What about your #city? @ajc.com #ATL #Democratic cities have less crime (per capita) than #Republican suburbs. #FuckICE

This is always the danger with really aggressive #gerrymandering. The "best" (safest) approach is make a bunch of e.g. [Party+7] districts to steal & a bunch of [OtherParty+45] districts to pack the opposition in. With e.g. [Party+3] districts, a #Wave for OtherParty will take them all.
A protest broke out earlier today at the Arlington Texas ICE hiring event.
heh... "verblowjobs" right?
I encourage anyone who works in one of the #Trump regime's abuse factories (mostly law enforcement but I'm sure there's others) - especially #ICE - to quit. Find another job. Start a podcast. Start a small business.

So they chose to do a search warrant on #JohnBolton to take attention away from #EpsteinFiles Day. I dunno, it's pretty weak sauce. Bolton is "high profile" to #Trump and his bootlickers, but i don't think #MAGA cares about Mustachioed Warmonger Man. @jonlovett.bsky.social @jonfavs.bsky.social

I'm not sure it's correct to claim that raising sticker prices is a "last resort." Surely everyone remembers prices spiking in 2021 due to "supply chain" issues with companies padding those increased costs by about double and crowing about it on earnings calls... #EndStageCapitalism

PERHAPS TRUE, but they'd have to lower the age of consent to under 12 years; since Trump was regularly raping/threatening 12 yr old girls; destroying their lives forever just to get his jolly pedophile "rocks off". A more horrid, immoral, sociopathic criminal than Trump would be hard to find in USA.
"I'm not going to be part of that process that gives [Trump] more reinforcement to harm my community and my people." Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier is being held in the State Capitol for refusing to comply with a Republican demand that she allow herself to be chaperoned by police.

Well the key is to support candidates like @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and electeds like @rokhanna.bsky.social and @aoc.bsky.social and the rest of the #Squad and of course @sanders.senate.gov and so many others. The "leaders" of the #Democrats should seem "more extreme" compared to the electeds.
That's been a project of the #Republican Party for decades, with #Reagan adding an exclamation point with his "ten most terrifying words in the English language." They've been aided by the for-profit access-addicted corporate #media playing the #BothSides game. The #Democrats joined in the 90s.
guess you've never seen the "we reserve the right to refuse service..." signs at businesses, ya doofus
I'm not a fan of "inferred" party affiliation. I'll never vote for a Republican in a general election. I've pulled Republican ballots in many primaries to vote for the "least worst" when the Democratic primaries aren't competitive. The text said "registered Democrats" not "Democratic voters."
