WOW... that's really awesome!

It's a BIG wake up call... but MAHA and MAGA keep hittin' that snooze button... but Democrats share some responsibility as both sides seem little interested in driving down gun deaths... just my humble opinion your mileage may vary...

Omg that's SO me!!

The Bible-thumpers are often the most evil people that exist.

Ohhh Ménage et Trois.

Pete Hegseth should resign.

Every member of Congress who cares about national security should be calling for it.

If he were a Democrat he’d be gone already.

“Good news, I’ve finally found a collection of premier-league cretins who make you lot look like the team that broke Enigma at Bletchley.”

Actually, most of these town halls are being attended by voters who live in the districts, are not being "paid agitators", and are genuinely concerned that Aunt Martha's VA hospital had personnel cuts, the family's vacation to a national park is on hold because staffers were eliminated...sad really

Food banks scramble after USDA halts $500 million in deliveries | CNN Politics In the coming weeks, the shelves at dozens of food pantries in California’s Fresno County will be a little emptier. Visitors won’t be able to take home as many groceries, and their bags will contain f...

The US Department of Agriculture has halted $500 million in deliveries to food banks nationwide, multiple food banks told CNN. The Biden administration had announced the additional funding last year.
Trump's plan for poor people is he wants them to starve to death. #EconSky t.ly/f6tzD

If this is true, we really have become something that I could never have imagined in my nightmares...

Forever wondering if I'm truly far left or if I'm just an empathetic person living in a late capitalist hellscape where I get called a commie for saying "hey maybe poor people don't deserve to starve

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.

I miss the days when I thought it would be cool to be Canadian because of maple syrup and hockey, not because the President of The United States is a lunatic muppet.

😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👇🏽👇🏿👏👏👏👏👏

And while those sums seem small in comparison to others, it is a reflection by the Toaseich and government realizing that the country's neutrality is not practical policy. Especially in a Europe left holding the bag by the increasing Putin Puppets influence in the US government...

Trump said Zelenskyy ‘does not have the cards’. But how well is he playing his own hand? | Olga Chyzh The US president has no interest in countering aggressors. His short-termist game plan will cost America dear, says political researcher Olga Chyzh

I believe the Zelenskyy/Trump/Vance meeting (shakedown/mugging of #Zelenskyy) was a lot darker than it even appeared. The majority of the #RareEarthMinerals in question are in 🇷🇺 occupied areas of #Ukraine. Zelenskyy should not sign. These are bad faith actors working on behalf of Putin.

Every former ally will need to immediately stop any intelligence sharing agreements. Good luck spotting any new attacks on 🇺🇸 before they go off.

More "hobby confessions" ... but useful for many areas of life in general...

424 and 435. Big peeves of mine. Please don't be a sore winner. And please, for the love of the gods, wash being in a room or convention hall.

Every accusation is an intention.

how we got here The Right Uses Messaging as a Weapon—We Must Fight Back For decades, Far Right Extremists have dominated the conversation. Progressives have passion, policies, and the numbers—but we’ve been playing defense for too long. The Problem: Far Right Extremists use simple, emotional messaging—division is the goal. They define the media narrative quickly, forcing us to be reactive. They invest in messaging infrastructure, from think tanks to social media influencers. The Lesson: The Extreme Right didn’t win overnight. They spent decades building think tanks, funding media, and training messengers to shape public opinion. It’s time we do the same.

how we start Messaging That Wins— A Four-Step Plan CREATE Craft messaging that is simple, emotional, and engaging. No jargon. No policy-speak. If it can’t fit on a bumper sticker, it’s too complicated. EQUIP Equip activists, leaders, and influencers with strong messaging skills. Every progressive should be able to confidently communicate our ideas in a way that excites people. FRAME Set the narrative early—and stop waiting for fairness. Far Right Extremists create simple, emotional messages and repeat them relentlessly. We must define the real threats (TheHoarding Class, Extreme Christian Nationalists) first—using facts, but framing them in ways that resonate with real people. EXPOSE Shut down misinformation fast. Don’t repeat misinformation —provide facts from reputable sources that contradict viral misinformation. Messaging is power. Let’s use it.

We need to change our approach. This is a great framework
