American journalism has failed America. They just chase one story after another. Never connecting them back to the real story: ending democracy.

I’m being told state law *requires* the counter-gerrymandering scheme to be approved by voters in California. Curse the inconvenient moral rectitude of the left.

I’m voting yes on 50 obviously but don’t see why I have to give rich douchebags more money in the process. Newsom needs to say “vote for this” and leave it at that. In fact they shouldn’t have left it to voters at all, none of those other states did wtf.
16.09.2025 16:39 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Meanwhile yet another school shooting happened yesterday in Denver and it barely made the news at all because it wasn’t a political assassination. And of course people are being shot dead in their homes all over the country every day because America is a WAR ZONE thanks to liars like Charlie Kirk.
