GET RID OF EVERY GOP SEAT NOW

RED STATES ARE DOING IT NOW BECAUSE SCOTUS IS A JOKE!!!!

we have to make supreme court expansion a 2028 nominee litmus test, we have to get every candidate on the record about what their plan is to rein in this rogue court of unaccountable ideologues

According to The Washington Post, the US position is causing mistrust from the EU, as Brussels believes that Trump shares Putin's view on the Russian-Ukrainian war. However, the US is "the only one capable of bringing the negotiations on Ukraine to a conclusion".

A Packed House Greets Dr. Allison Gill At Coronado Democratic Club’s November 22 Morning Meeting The Coronado Democratic Club drew one of its largest morning crowds in recent memory on November 22, as nearly every seat in the Winn Room at the Coronado Public Library

I'm overwhelmed by this article about a recent speech I gave at the Coronado Democratic Club 😭😭😭 www.coronadonewsca.com/news/coronad...

Inflation Improved In September—But Remained High As Spending Slowed, Delayed Data Shows An earlier delayed data release indicated consumer prices continued to rise in the month.

Minnesota! Land of 10,000 lakes and apparently one gigantic bowl of fear ICE keeps stirring with both hands.

“Oh look, the government took a dump in the snow... again.”

Meanwhile the folks doing the detaining look like guys who probably write “tactical” in sharpie on their lunchboxes.

Part of why the discourse around Israel is borked is that the US is so invested in not admitting the ways we (where by "we" I mean weapons / oil manufacturers and the politicians they pay, not really anyone else) directly and delightedly benefit from having Israel run trampling around the region.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Tenured US professor fired over pro-Palestinian protests contests dismissal Sang Hea Kil is first tenured faculty member fired from a public university in connection to the protests

Universities will keep sexual predators on the faculty because their "hands are tied by tenure." Turns out protesting genocide is all it takes to loosen those unshakable chains.

Is the FIFA thing in part because he kept stealing teams’ trophies and they wanted to stop that from happening again?

Those that lament Chicago’s low ranking in the annual list of bike-friendly cities should pipe down. A city that doesn’t give equal priority to clearing bike and car lanes can’t claim to be a bike-friendly city. This is Clybourn Avenue, which holds a protected bike lane corridor to Downtown.

Democrats wanted to force big airlines to pay you if they delayed your flight for hours and hours. Then Trump came into office and cancelled the entire plan.

Why? Because he only cares about helping out his billionaire buddies, not you.

I don't have Medicare part D, so would have to pay for them, very expensive.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Don't put older heating pad things in it. My sis blew hers up doing that.

Minneapolis police blows budget by $19.6 million; council leaders call it ‘mismanagement’ Police Chief Brian O’Hara says it’s costly to replenish the ranks, since new hires need training while existing officers still rack up OT.

I give @deenawinter.bsky.social & the Strib credit for bringing the wood to the MPD budget fiasco. Total Frey administration failure to a) manage & b) inform policymakers before the crisis. Election year shittery. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

US folks to Canadians for decades to the point it was so tiring we parodied it constantly:

"We want everyone to access a gun, it keeps the tyrants out. You'll be sorry when your tyrant gets in."

Those same US folks when a tyrant runs America:

".....So....you wanna be our new state?"

Putin never forgave the USA, his enemy, for toppling the USSR and bringing Russia to its knees. Trump never forgave the USA, his own country, for electing Biden and for hating him. Those two are right now bringing our nation to its knees.

Better than 50% chance there is no FIFA Peace Prize next year and this was a one-off to make the orange toddler happy.

They reuse water.

In the 4.5-mile bike ride to pick up my kids from school, I found the following in painted bike lanes: at least 6 trash bins, a parked car, a parked firefighter truck (likely lunch break), and a parked city maintenance vehicle. This is unacceptable, and another reason why paint is not infrastructure

pardoning the criminals that plotted and planned to strip every American citizen of their vote are free.

That is wrong.
end of story, it does not need to be discussed over and over

I fed a kitty in the predawn darkness on the back porch this morning and then realized it wasn’t one of ‘my’ strays. That’s fine.

Have we forgotten about the Epstein Files?

Cassidy’s “yes” to confirm RFK Jr. has to be the most impactful vote by a single senator in the 21st century, right? Only other one I can recall that comes close is McCain saving the ACA.

There is a blatant example of Trump's mindset and his insanity, right out of the mouth of Trump himself, that seems to be missed.

"HE COULD DEFEAT UKRAINE IN A WEEK."

The people of the United States of America overwhelmingly want to help Ukraine.

Dictator Trump's mindset is to defeat Ukraine.

Culture war or class war?

“Don’t replace the culture war with class war” is such a fun way of saying, “Please don’t unionize, I just bought a yacht that parks inside another yacht.”
