@schumer.senate.gov has GOT to go! #EndTheGerontocracy

This is an excellent idea!!!

In Pictures: Remembering Susan Stamberg, one of NPR's Founding Mothers Susan Stamberg joined NPR at its start, originally to cut tape — literal tape, with a single-sided blade — at a time when commercial networks almost never hired women.

oh man - we lost a great one yesterday.

Just a reminder:

September is National Procrastination Awareness Month.

Soy Farmers today: "I voted for the racism, and to own the libs. I didn't know Trump's tariffs could hurt ME!"

YouTube video by (Too much) confusion New Beat • Take 1 (1988)

JD is great and their trip to Belgium was seminal (if "Control" is to be believed). But New Beat is a more appropriate soundtrack for a trip to Belgium. Here's one compilation:

I loved Andor overall. Season 2 was an absolute work of art. It bodes well for the future of the Star Wars franchise.

Can we all agree that the MVP debate is now settled?

Scoop: Democrats weigh mini-convention before 2026 midterms It could create a national stage for Democrats running in key House, Senate and governors' races to frame their arguments against President Trump and his MAGA Republicans.

This is a great idea! Let's use this convention to decide who the Party leaders will be in Congress.

YouTube video by Developing Tank INSTAGRAM is TRASH: 9 Ways to DEEPLY Engage with Photography in 2025

The Developing Tank is a phenomenal source of photographic discussion on par with Sean Tucker, Ibarionex Perello, Frames, or other similar content creators on YouTube or podcasts.

Here's his latest video, highly recommend: youtu.be/Kk4UDOaBuvw?...

I loved Burroughs' Mars series as much as his Tarzan books (at least 1-4, after that it was hit or miss for me).

I was going to cite one of the Snyder's 20 steps to fight tyranny, but this violates at least 1/2 of them.

I will no longer patronize any CBS product. I've cancelled my Paramount+ subscription and the ONLY show on the network that I'll watch is Colbert until his final day.

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Stephen Colbert Announces The Cancellation Of “The Late Show”

It is an outrage that CBS would cite "economic factors" to cancel the #1 show on late night. We all know this craven act is part of their kowtowing to the orange tyrant soiling the Oval Office.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan.

We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised.

That’s how democracy should function.

Since these thugs insist on wearing masks, should we call them "banditos?"

That 3rd dude is the proto-typical Gravy Seal if I've ever seen one. Use a pic of him to tell me they deputized J6errs without saying they hired j6ers...

100% true. But my comment was about Hochul, not Stefanik.

You give em hell @kaine.senate.gov ! A strongly worded social media post is going to achieve so much in today's authoritarian world! As Kim Don Un invokes the Insurrection Act we are all going to look back at these posts and say, "that Tim Kaine, he fought the good fight!"

We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Hochul deserves to be demolished. She is nothing more than the usual cog in the corporate machine that has become the Democratic Party. We need sweeping change in NY and across the country. Visionaries with fight need to be put into positions of power.

The problem is that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is completely useless corporate tool. We need fighters in leadership right now, not sheep and backroom dealers.

NONE of our current leadership is up to the task. THAT is why we are where we are as a country.

Hogg is absolutely right in his philosophy, but his actions were antithetical to his role in the Democratic Party. He can accomplish the progress he envisions working outside the confines of the Corporate Democrats.

But we all know that the Corporate Democrats don't know how to actually fight. That's why it's STILL only Bernie, AOC and Waltz out there campaigning across Red America.

Dead link - so the story is bullshit? Or you don't know how to copy/paste to an actual web article?

Is there a link to the testimony or statement where she admits this?

Is there a link to her statement saying this?

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now.

When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥
