alleged criminals at a police photo op in India. No zip ties, no shackles, just tightly held hands. How a relatively civilised nation polices its citizens.

the Germans learned from the failure of the Reconstruction, at least. Still got neonazis, but at least they are not running the govt

Don't play by their totalitarian, antidemocratic rules. Newsom is the problem, not the solution. They use the Putin/Erdogan playbook of corrupting democracy while keeping its trappings. When we give up on the rules, we lose. That doesn't mean we pal around with fucking Cheneys or keep the filibuster

democratic joke anything more than a snicker. Because when the deck is not stacked, social democrats win. And that is the best we are gonna get this decade. Anyone with the slightest empathy will want the immediate reduction of mass misery to be paramount, regardless of long-term goals.

or don't stuff the SCOTUS with real judges or worship the continuing stasis of the constitution. It does mean that politicians who offer real, popular, solutions to autocracy and oligarchy get to lead. None of Sanders, AOC, Raskin, Crockett, Mamdami, Abughazaleh or even Obama would give this anti-

With corporate America pushing AI to replace workers, our education system putting AI into classrooms and kids using AI to do their homework for them, feels like we're on the precipice of another Dark Age. Which is ironic and unsettling since tech is ostensibly to give us all the world's info

Looking to connect with ICE watchers in Hammond, Indiana. mlm335.27 on Signal or mandawritesthings at proton dot me.

wake up babe the anti-Alex Jones just dropped a new jam what what

NYC! I don’t live in you but thoughts are with you as early voting is underway and gearing up for what will hopefully be a blowout November 4th. This nepo creepshow doesn’t understand the word “no” but that doesn’t mean getting to say it to him again won’t feel fucking amazing.

It chaps my ass on how there's a legion of library, school, and healthcare workers who consistently and quietly deal with substance use disorder, mental illness, domestic violence, and a wide array of other issues with little to no acknowledgement while law enforcement needs constant affirmation.

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

An unusually large number of Trump officials are moving on to military bases for security. I suspect they are planning for things to get worse.

His erratic behaviour and speech looks like dementia. The potential side effects are strokes, for example

kat could one day be the first hot member of the house of representatives. what a time to be alive.

This has only fired me up to resist even.

Fuck fascists, we ball. ✊

you need to act on this @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and please take note @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @jonfavs.bsky.social

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

AFAIK donanemab slows alzheimers, which will be keeping him in the Oval. Can have some serious side effects, which is why he is getting the MRIs and taking a few days incognito here and there.
He's clearly also been on Ozempic. he was talking about it a while ago, and the neck puss he's sporting...

I prefer the old hits like Chiquita www.reuters.com/business/wor...

yeah i should have made those sentences rhetorical

@teenvogue.com is pretty good too

if the current Democrat leadership did not suck, people would have been more inclined to vote for them. That is why you are in this moment.
