ALFORD: We're not doing the drop boxes, which led to a lot of mistrust during the 2020 election


BORIS SANCHEZ: Well, a lot of that mistrust was sewn by the president, who made repeated false claims about widespread election fraud when there was none

'Potentially' is a pretty silly word there...

Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on elections: In the past, weโ€™ve mostly seen foreign interference โ€” my bigger fear now is domestic interference, some of that potentially originating inside the administration.

Laughing at this because it literally says at the bottom that itโ€™s not from the Black Panthers, itโ€™s from the New American movement, one of the ancestors of the DSA. Itโ€™s not wrong, but I think some people think the Black Panthers are just anything they agree with.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." โ€“Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

The repubs want this as well, but only for themselves. Everyone else is good for slavery, entertainment, or death camps.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

Thomas Massie Calls Out Pam Bondi's Performance During Epstein Files Hearing Attorney General Pam Bondi delved into name calling and shouting when questioned about the Epstein files.

Her behaviour at the hearings was atrocious. Imagine if any previous Democratic Attorney General had ever responded in the same manner? They'd been drawn & quartered then roasted over a fire pit. I firmly believe her day is coming. She is a pitiful excuse for an AG.

Oh, I guess that was what they thought!

What happens when we get enough Hawking radiation?

Also, I wonder how the time dilation happened in those first few years...

Both with us and not, by definition of what they aren't, right?

Are they going to boil off into Hawking radiation?

Agree with the first paragraph, but the second paragraph not so much. There are a LOT of ways that are much worse and more fascist.

I would love a caveat though, like, "Schumer, Doug Jones, and others really need to fight much harder - although of course they are all way better than every repub."

Well sure, but these were always just lies anyway. They claim to be essential or beneficial or something, but that's just a delfecting argument.

Same with multinationals and billionaires! If enough people boycott, then the small businesses would expand, hire, etc. Nature abhors a vacuum, etc. Screw those dudes!

Again, this is only a few, since leftists and progressives are Dems themselves.

It's happening, although slowly. Still, momentum counts.

Rarely, although it has been known to happen.

That really means "sometimes they are only a bit better than every repub, while most of the time they are extremely better."

While true, the flip side is really elucidating - if you haven't already, check out the piece in this month's Mother Jones about the poorest and reddest county in Virginia.

We can totally learn from our mistakes and improve. So many repubs are not even close to being able to learn...

The US government will not stop sharing Nazi propaganda And their supporters are loving it.

Many of the phrases, images, and attached media used by the Trump administration arenโ€™t just regular social media content.

They repurpose language, symbolism, and cultural references with direct connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.
