I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social why hasn’t the Dem caucus seen to this? The people of Grijalva’s district are being denied the representation they voted for.

Never ever forget how the elite US media enabled candidate Trump to lie and gaslight about #Project2025

The so called neutral media also own the mess - then heap of garbage fire that has engulfed American democracy.

They own this.

Opinion | This Is What Autocrats Dread

Great Read!

From the Jim Crow South to the 2023 Polish victory over autocratic rule, history teaches and inspires.

Authoritarians are not invincible. When countered by a sustained, unified, HOPEFUL opposition, autocratic movements CAN be defeated!

So in other words, she has no case. We all know that if they thought they had anything they would blab it all over the place.

Listening to John Kasick talk on #KatyTur about how the GOP will return to small government principles after Trump because after all, small government is second nature to the GOP. He has not been paying attention.

Washington DC has 702,000 people, is 45% Black and has 0 senators

Wyoming has 590,000 people, is 86% white and has 2 senators

DC needs a state with proper representation, not a military takeover

In recent years, crime in DC has hovered at decades-long lows. This is just another example of Trump needlessly deploying the National Guard for political theatrics.

He ought to take our troops more seriously.

“The Road” is one of the most moving books I have ever read - wept at the end and I was sitting in an airport at the time. IDK “Threads”. I presume we are not talking about the social media site.

The Washington Post has removed “Democracy Dies In Darkness” from both the print and digital editions.

At least now they’re being honest about their bent.

Jeff Bezos has ruined this paper. Katherine Graham must be turning in her grave.

I knit sweaters - always wool - to block, I soak the finished piece in warm water with Eucalen for 30 min - squeeze out the excess - lay out on blocking boards - pin the crap out of it!

TBH, you really can’t trust anything this guy posts. BUT I have always felt the fix was in for 2024 and Trump knew it.

This is exactly what’s wrong with the Dems - they need to flood the zone just like Trump does - but they don’t seem capable - WTF is wrong with them - this is not that hard
