X Post by Michael Adams, Kentucky Secretary of State: "We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry."

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post?

This.

This is what you get.

When the Democrats take over, they should not abolish ICE. (Of course they should immediately fire everyone who currently works there.) They rebuild and re-brand. ICE becomes NICE, the National Immigration & Customs Enforcement. You know, the ones who follow the law.

Am I going to have to swear off my Apple products too now? Resign, Tim!!!

Is the real enemy Todd Blanche or Republicans writ large? We’ll agree to disagree. You and Greg have much bigger audiences, so my two cents ain’t worth much

I take exception to your characterization of Greg’s post as “fighting the wrong adversary*. (I’m not fighting you now.) We can walk and chew gum. I view his post as much-needed advice for Dem legislators. Thank you for bringing up Blanche’s criminality-it adds an important dimension to the story.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

“300 million people died” - that’s like most of the people in the country

Isn’t it time for a general strike?

This isn't just a political claim, it's an empirical one. If "the problem is not guns" then we shouldn't see any correlation between gun ownership and oh wait platform.vox.com/wp-content/u...

I have this one

Kristi Noem: "Kilmar Abrego Garcia... is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator"
Excuse me? Can a govt official openly accuse a person of unproven, uncharged crimes? Libel, slander? Should be a crime.

Putin’s guest, who has been conspicuously silent about Ukraine? You’re not wrong about corruption in Congress, and I AM focused on the midterms. That’s why I cannot endorse Dr Jill Stein or the Green Party

The Green Party has shown no ability (or inclination) to lead. Orgs like Indivisible and MoveOn have been much more effective in grassroots mobilization

Yes, and? I was registered (and voted for) the Green Party for years, and what have they done? No effective organizing, no effective voice for “the rest of us”. And Dr. Jill Stein appears to be a Putin stooge.

Former Green Party member here. Two words: Jill Stein

As the family of one of the most prominent survivors, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we are outraged. The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche’s bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history. This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security, and lives on the line to ensure her conviction, including our sister By moving convicted felon Maxwell to a minimum security, country club prison, the DOJ sends a disturbing message that child sex trafficking is acceptable and will be rewarded. The Department of Justice serves the people of the United States. We continue to call upon the DOJ to do its job by investigating and holding accountable the many rich and powerful people who enabled Ghislaine Maxwell’s and Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

"Aging hippies"? Maybe, but we're Footsoldiers of Freedom. Even with fewer demonstrators, motorist response is stronger than ever! In an hour, with 1000s of cars, only 4 thumbs down & 1 middle finger. Meanwhile, joy & gratitude in the faces of 100s of passersby enthusiastically honking & waving.

Wow! As good as President Lisa Simpson taking over from President Trump on the Simpsons

Mark Zuckerberg's vision for humanity is terrifying It's time for a reckoning.

The author's version (my narration with a different background) is on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/shorts/aSACs...
He said he couldn't stand to see Trump's face.

A commentary from my friend & colleague John Boykin, with graphics and voiceover by me.

As the powerful continue to capitulate, it becomes more important for the rest of us to speak out loudly
