This should be getting more attention.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

It’s been 44 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her congressional race.

Mike Johnson knows she’ll be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files so he’s done everything he can to prevent her from taking office.

Speaker Johnson, do your job and swear her in.

we needed all of this. it’s why i rail on doomers and tell them doing that shit is literal voter suppression. defeatism begets defeatism. momentum fucking matters to keep people engaged.

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

If you are a Democratic senator watching these results and the lesson you take is "I should cave and help Republicans reopen the government for nothing more than a promise written on toilet paper" then you shouldn't be in the Senate anymore

β€˜If it was anybody else, we’d arrest him tomorrow,' Justice Department aide said of Trump A handful of documents found by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago were so sensitive that even a senior Justice Department official didn’t have authorization to see them.

As polls begin to close, remember: If you're in line to vote, STAY IN LINE.

If you are in line at closing time, you have the right to vote.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Even if Trump admin obeys the court and releases funds for SNAP (food stamps) it could be weeks before states can recharge people's cards etc.

Please consider giving to a food bank. Cash is best.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

If the GOP doesn’t want tax dollars going to food, healthcare, housing, ed, SS, veterans’ care, housing, research, science, art, infrastructure, transit, childcare, the environment, public broadcasting, diplomacy, regulatory agencies, or job training… WTF are we paying them for?

Why Centrist Democrats Keep Being Wrong About Elections A new 60-page report insists the party is too radical. But the problem isn’t the party platform. The problem is the broader environment.

β€œElections are determined by (1) your message, (2) the messenger, (3) the media environment, and (4) the moment. The only thing that political campaigns control is (1). There is a long-standing bad habit among pundits of treating it as the only thing that matters.” newrepublic.com/article/2023...

Vance seems to think segregation is 'acceptable' if neighbors don't speak English | Opinion Vice President JD Vance has added a flatly segregationist twist to his broadly unlikable personality.

JD Vance, the second most powerful person in the country, makes a flatly racist comment about immigrants and barely any mainstream news orgs are writing about it? Kudos to my employer, USA TODAY, for unflinchingly allowing me to share my views.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. I'm not on food stamps. I don't get Medicaid. I rely on no social safety nets. But I still believe in fully funding these programs. Why? Because I'm not a selfish dipshit.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

The Presidential Wrecking Ball and Why it Matters
YouTube video by National Council for History Education The Presidential Wrecking Ball and Why it Matters

This morning I discussed the demolition of the East Wing and why it matters.

Its rubble remains are a monument to the destruction of our system of checks and balances, and America's democratic system of government.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
