Vote for like your life and democracy depend on it. Mine does. Polls open 6am to 8pm, NJ! If you're in line at 8pm, stay on the line to vote. If you have a mail ballot, drop it off by 8pm!

It would be great to find out if Patel is still sending new agents to the Holocaust Museum as part of their training. We went in the first week and after seeing the museum had a discussion about complicity and law enforcement that was led by someone from the ADL. This was started in 2001 by Freeh.

Yes President Trump was slurring and exhibiting disordered thinking in his appearance before the generals. But at least he didn’t have a hoarse voice like Biden in the first debate.

White leftists sure have a grudge against Kamala Harris like she personally forced them to not vote for her.

If the pre-sale one I ordered happens to be autopenn, that's the one I loan out/read, after I get a signed copy from meeting MVP Harris - that one gets protected with my other signed books.

Barnes & Noble listed a signed book for an extra $6 bucks. Snagged it between their crashes. @admiralmpj.bsky.social said, there will be book tours/signings probably near you. How I met HRC in '17. I know I'm going, that way I have two (the pre-sold signed copies probably autopenned).

I did too. I got a signed copy, I'm hoping when she does the book tour I'll get to meet her.

People claiming to be progressives who hate Kamala aren't really progressives.

How Tim Scott and Elizabeth Warren agreed on a sweeping housing package The Senate Banking Committee has unanimously passed a sweeping housing package, marking a rare bipartisan effort to address the nation’s housing crisis.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period.

This shit is out of control.

Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

And that’s another thing. We need to be wary of who we interact with on this social media because there are too many people on here discouraging people from voting for Kamala/Democrats, then we find out they’re Canadian. Or French. Or Scottish. Whoever they are, they’re not American.

How dare Kamala Harris chuckle at the idea of saying "I told ya so" after she spent MONTHS telling you what was coming and you ignored her warnings?

We're not gonna spend each day in sackcloth and ashes because white people are finally suffering the consequences of their own actions. Own your shit.

All of this is why I think Kamala Harris remains a very underrated 2028 candidate. She alone has the name ID, the 75 million plus votes, & the ability to tell everyone that she warned about exactly what's happening now.

He's also not that much different from Wikler on platform, either. He also stood against the "From the river to the sea" crowd, pissing off the DSA. :)

It is the people, almost all of them. Only a few aren't, and it is not the ones raging about political or economic philosophies either. It is easier to say that it's the "old guard", or capitalism, or "Neo-liberalism", but it's not. No one wants to acknowledge they themselves, are the problem.

It's fun to go on this little rant against "old guard" and no-liberalism, anti-capitalistic, but that's not how we got here. Blaming the old guard,and all these things is just to hide the fact we are the problem. I've got over 17+ years working in politics and the old guard isn't the problem.

Obv., but not something the old guard failed every opportunity to nail down. It also wasn't no-liberalism's fault either. People voting for Ralph Nader in 2000 is one of the many ways we got here. People choosing purity emotions over logic. People didn't vote in '10, '14, '16, '18, '20, '22, '24.

The American Voters took all the Legislative power away from House and Senate Democrats, and you expect them to come up with "something" that will satisfy your standards?

I hope you see how ridiculous that sounds, but I'm not optimistic.

@charlotteclymer.bsky.social needs to understand something:

The FD that arrives don't have control of the hydrants or other assets that are dispatched, nor do they have the majority of the FD to take control of the assets to fight it. It's the majority of the FD that keeps them standing there.

What’s more likely:

That Democrats don’t know what’s happening

Or that voters handed full control of Congress and the White House over to Republicans, so Democrats don’t have the power to stop them now.
