I’ve said this b4, but here’s a little inside baseball from a former Republican: Back in my GOP days, we Republicans would privately laugh at how Democrats would never go to the mat to win. We always knew Democrats wouldn’t fight to the death politically.

Last night proved Republicans right again.

‘A Pretty Ugly History’: How Exxon Exported Climate Denial to the Global South With Brazil about to host COP30, DeSmog has obtained copies of checks Exxon mailed to the right-wing Atlas Network in the 1990s to turn Latin America against climate treaties.

We obtained hundreds of documents revealing how Exxon funded the rightwing Atlas Network to spread climate denial in Latin America and all across the Global South.

Twitter IS a cesspool. Why are good people still on it?

‘How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system In the year’s most shocking documentary, The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

Leadership? What leadership?

KILMEADE: Schumer says he's voting no. Did you do this outside leadership?

SHAHEEN: No. We kept leadership informed throughout.

Tonight was a very bad night.

To be on the left is to know your history and be able to explain it or lead others to learning it.

Velshi: Democracy is not a spectator sport Ali Velshi comments on last week’s vote results: “‘Democracy is not a spectator sport’… You can’t just watch from the sidelines, and expect democracy to succeed. You have to participate and work at it… On election night 2025, in state after state, that’s exactly what voters did.”

Ali Velshi comments on last week’s vote results: “Democracy doesn’t maintain itself, it depends on you. When the history of this moment is written, it will say that in the autumn of 2025, Americans refused to be spectators. They chose, instead, to be citizens. #Velshi

Trump Pardons Giuliani and Others Involved in Effort to Overturn 2020 Election

Congrats to the eight Democrats who gave this regime a huge win over the weekend. Here’s your reward.

2 days old already. I didn't share it the first time because I didn't think the Democrats would surrender.

Worth exploring. It would be nice to teach the Christians and Jews that there's a commandment against killing.

Wow! Other people feel the same way I do.

Maybe their plan is to put the Democratic party to bed so a new party can arise.

Until the Democrats. The Republicans didn't win in 2024. The Democrats lost.

The media is moving to the right, quickly.

Hundreds of Thousands of Anonymous Deportees Amid the president’s fast-moving deportation campaign, the stories of most people being swept up are missed.

And...Are you sure your email account is your "official" Facebook one? If it's not, maybe they assume you're using that email to get back into your account, but want extra validation. I use a different email account for FB than I use for most other stuff.

You tried the facebook.com/hacked link? And you chose the "I don't see the right option on this list."

Politicians complicate things. But this whole issue of why the House has closed down for the past 5 months and why Adelita Grijalva isn’t sworn in yet likely isn’t complicated at all. The answer is likely pretty damn simple: Trump is most likely a pedophile, and Speaker Johnson knows it. That’s all.

Doublethink might’ve finally reached a limit in (1) “we’re totally in charge, nothing can stand in our way, everything is great” and (2) “things are awful and getting worse, we’re powerless, it’s all the minority party’s doing.”

Especially when the people in charge grin as they say “getting worse.”

Do you have access to your account email address? Or do you not want to be triangulated by an email address also?

What the hell are we doing?

I remember seeing that and didn't understand why you couldn't get around it. Did you really want to? I could send you some links with ways to get around. Ever feel like they're making it more difficult just for you?
