Evergreen.

For now. Gotta keep it fresh.

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

"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." –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.

Yeah, I just don't see it as "we're still in this position after so long".

Those 90 years were filled with propaganda and changes in labor law which caused our current problems.

People understood this quite well. Making them not understand took effort.

In the 30s? That was the standard way to view them, frankly.

You know the weirdest thing about billionaire defenders - especially defending a disingenuous performative crypt keeper like Warren Buffet - is that Mary Poppins was invented by P.L. Travers in the 1930s, and there were characters of old men who hoarded money understood to be evil, even back then.

please. stop praying for my grandpa!!!! you are making him too strong. he broke out of the hospital and the cops can't get him. he's too powerful Image of an old man on a football field, driving a mobility scooter, on which he proceeds to pop a wheelie.

Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

The City of Philadelphia really needs to take further steps other than to simply put the exhibit back up. Tie it into some public school curricula, host local conversations, distribute free zines on the topic. Don't just stay at having gone to court.

More candidates need to step up, and hopefully will.

We need a diverse, competitive open primary. Every time, frankly.

Do people realize that this is the after effect of people whining about Hasan being asked about Vance v Newsom and not an authentic "who should we vote for" conversation?

The discussion is by design not fully fleshed out.

(reading the comments, Georgie is actually Georgia 👩🏼)

snoop dogg is dancing in front of a crowd and says happy birthday ! Alt: snoop dogg is dancing behind text that reads "happy birthday Georgie porgie"

"kiss the girls and make them cry"

Four in ten people say they know somebody? Is that a reliable metric?

Four in ten say *they* personally wouldn't, that would be startling. This is a smaller claim, yes?

An entire town could self report knowing a single guy, right?

Because of that systematic disadvantage, every Dem candidate needs an authentic, class focused vision for the future, which unfortunately neither Clinton nor Harris offered.

Gender politics not a distinct issue from the rest of our problems, it's the exact same system.

I had really hoped Biden would have kept his (weak) promise of being one term.

A competitive 2024 open primary could have been a brilliant moment for democracy.

Women absolutely do start with a disadvantage. It's surmountable though. Clinton did.

Our electoral college system gives an unbalanced weight to certain hyper-conservative areas. We know this.

Every country has racists and nationalists. The US ensures they always get an outsized opinion.

I don't see a reason not to. They should be able to answer a simple question like that, right?

The Best Way to Support Our Mission? Don't Give Us Your Money Nearly $20,000 pledged to Project Salt Box could do more immediate good at Asylee Women Enterprise.

Thank you to @maddow.bsky.social for giving me the time of day last night. Thank you also to the THOUSANDS of folks interested in using our data for good. There's one other way you can help us, and it's by not giving us your money.

My wife is my sous chef 😊

I think this comes down to asking, "Are we going to have a safer and more stable society if we give more power to police?" or "Are we going to have a safer more stable society if we provide better care to each other?"

Do you want more police, or more care?

Some of what's happening is new, but not as much as we think.

State (and racial mob) violence and scandalous conspiracies are a thing with these people.

My 2 cents: We need massive strikes.

Normal is relative.

We're experiencing a lot of the effects we as a country, in recent history, have only allowed to happen to other countries through soft (and at times, hard) power.

Unfortunately, our racist tendencies are a tried and true lever of power for our oligarchs.

@judyvicutie.bsky.social any update, did this work?

Alternatively, you can probably reinstall Firefox without losing data and it might reset some settings?

The popular vote is the number of *people* who voted for the candidate.

"The country isn't ready" narratives act as though the majority of Americans would not vote for women, but that's in direct conflict with the reality of what happened.

Clinton got 2 million more than a majority.

Neither Clinton nor Harris ran particularly good campaigns, that's the issue.

Clinton propped up Trump, legitimizing him, thinking she could defeat him easily.

Harris had very little time and failed to differentiate herself from Biden (she said so herself).

Gender was not the issue.

Blaming white men (and white women) for Trump is proper and I have no issue with it.

That does not extend in any way to "a woman cannot be elected president".

A thread posted on Threads by Senator Cory Booker: “Here is to the decency of past presidents and the urgent need for us to have this again.” A video clip of George W Bush speaking at a lectern is included. Above the video is the text, “I miss seeing this kind of dignity & grace from a Republican President.”

BRO, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!
