Great News: We Got Them to Agree to Their Own Deal “Eight senators in the Democratic caucus broke with the party late Sunday to vote with Republicans and advance legislation to end the government sh...

"Here’s the kicker: We even got them to agree not to pass the healthcare subsidies that we’ve been working for. You know, the ones average Americans rely on. Here’s how we did it: We asked, then they said, 'No way,' and then we said, 'Okay.' That’s how you win."

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

reading this comment on reformation day is especially funny

He said, "When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

He lied

But what's worse-he didn't even TRY to lower prices

Instead, almost as soon he got into office, he started hitting people with tariffs-making things infinitely worse

I appreciate the eloquent way in which this gentleman calmly explains his point of view. Especially, since I agree with him. 😂🤣👇

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

All for this techno-garbage that steals our stuff, that plunders art and information and jobs, that just all around sucks at doing all the miracle things it's supposed to do. It tanks productivity, makes jobs harder, lies and plagiarizes, and salt in the wound? Drinks our water, burns our world.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

are they lying to him about prices and he really thinks this is true? or does he know and think he's lying successfully? who is buying what he's selling?

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

(Reuters) - U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the country's new import tariffs, early indications show, contradicting assertions by President Donald Trump and complicating the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.

That is SO GOOD. Thank you for linking the whole play.

I really like the parts of Midsummer Night's Dream I've seen from this BBC version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_tq...

To anyone considering visiting for the Olympics or the World Cup: don't trust that a proper visa or passport from a country we have agreements with means you can visit here unmolested. This admin does not act in good faith & you are at risk of brutality & jail even if your papers are in order.

“Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

It’s very sad that Gov. Stitt can say this obviously true thing but @GovBillLee wouldn’t in a million years.

Once again, I’m wondering why Democrats aren’t running with a straightforward message of “despotism is un-American and unaffordable” right now and all the way into the midterms.

I married a guitar guy so a post this simple kicks off a mental whirlwind of options for me. 😅

YouTube video by Bryan Adams Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You

That's a good one. If we're going for generically typical 80s, what comes to mind is the solo kickoff from Everything I Do by Bryan Adams. It's a 1991 song, but still manages to be the culmination of 80s anodyne pop guitar riffs. youtu.be/Y0pdQU87dc8?...

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

I saw the original People Under the Stairs on a local channel Creature Feature Saturday program when I was in elementary school. I am not exaggerating when I say that one movie is responsible for 70% of my irrational fears.

I basically don't buy meat unless it's on clearance now. A pound of 80/20 is $7. And it's just not a story. Every disaster becomes a natural one when the chuds are in charge.

Unbelievably racist video, but of the 30 seconds, about half of it is claiming that Latinos (not specifically immigrants, even) are "too stupid" to speak English. English-only and English-superiority narratives are a bedrock of this regime's racism. They know nothing about how language works.
