They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

#BlueWave in Newtown, CT. Democrats swept every race, ousting the incumbent Republican First Selectman and even the long-time Republican Town Clerk.

Turnout was nearly 50 percent vs. 40 percent in 2023.

We asked voters to show up for Democracy and to show up for Newtown, and they did.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Just the most stunning open corruption imaginable.

Ask yourself WHY is the ultra right wing zealot, Leonard Leo, spending so much money trying to kill Absentee Voting in Maine??

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger.

The answer is empathy and compassion.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

Say it often, say it loud:

"Overall, research has not supported the common-sense presumption that digital approaches to schooling are better than non-digital alternatives. At the broadest level, widespread computer use in education has been found to be associated with lower student achievement."

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

850 people in small-town Maine 13 months before the election.

Mainers have never been more ready for change.

Replace them all. Primary every single one. They are useless to us as we fight this autocracy.

An article headline: We need to make sure Graham Platner goes to Washington. The Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate is pushing a notion of populism that aims to empower rather than to divide.

We’re building a movement to fight for the working class — and to take our power back.

I don't vote in Illinois and I'm not paying close attention to this race, but I'd sure like to see more candidates and elected Democrats putting their bodies on the line like this. I don't even care if it's a campaign stunt. Kat is out there taking risks, and we need to see leaders fighting.

Whew!

2022 — a confession:

Monarez: "Kennedy made another set of assertions associated with CDC that were particularly pointed and hurtful and disparaging ... he said that CDC employees were killing children and they don't care"

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

So why is this not inciting political violence? Calling a potential elected politician a liddle communist? When does the hypocrisy end and we start all calling him out?

Today in 1963, 4 young girls are killed by white racists as a bomb explodes during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL: Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson & Carol Denise McNair. Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words lead to hateful actions.

Yeah this has outstripped the post-9/11 frenzy even, especially when you factor in that the entire country was genuinely traumatized by 9/11 while most people didn’t know or care who Charlie Kirk was

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

This is even dumber now that we know he went to college for one semester then dropped out.

Ezra Klein, watch this.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Losing my goddamned mind.

We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.
