I think the bigger security risk is the gestapo she runs that murders people for standing in the street and kidnaps children to put them in concentration camps. But sure, if the shoe thing gets her shitcanned, do what you gotta do.

Clinton: It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate. One of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet.

I mean, the GOP opened this door. I am tired of the Dems always taking the high road. Let’s do it!

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

White House circulating blatantly illegal draft emergency order to take control of elections Voting rights experts and at least one state election chief said Trump doesn’t have the authority to claim such powers β€” and any attempt would be blatantly illegal.

🧡It is always reassuring to read what @marcelias.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com have to say about the antidemocratic conniving of Trump and his MAGA minions.

Fear will give way to fierce defiance when you read this.

Brilliant! If you want to help register people to vote, you don’t need a clumsy clipboard and paper (and really, don’t we all want to cross the street when we see a clipboard?) β€” just invite them to snap the QR code on your shirt and they can register at Vote.gov. Great work @out5p0ken.bsky.social!

The control of the information….. it’s a play right out of the handbook of North Korea or Russia or Iran or Hungary or Indonesia or Belarus or China or Cuba or Sudan or Myanmar or Mali etc. tons quash it at the source. It shouldn’t be suppressed here & yet, indeed it is. #1stAmendment #IceOutForGood

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

I think I can safely skip the big speech next Tuesday. Everything said is either projection or lies. Or both.

β€œIt is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.”

This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate."

How to become rich with Tariffs! Know it's wrong and start a firm to enrich yourself once it's ruled illegal.

🧊 continues with their cruelty. In Savannah GA, this woman was driving to school to teach her special ed class. When a man who 🧊 was chasing, crashed into her car. If 🧊 wasn’t dangerously chasing him, this woman who has a doctorate and who society benefitted from would’t have lost her life.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Contact Your MOC

It's already ILLEGAL for non-citizens to vote.

The Republican voter suppression billβ€”the "Save America Act"β€”solves a non-existent problem while disenfranchising millions of actual citizens.

It's a lie from start to finish. And they’re voting on it Wednesday.

Never thought I would say this, but the British Press seem to have done a better job than their US counterparts, investigating the political ramifications of the Epstein files. Kudos to the Mail for the Russian angle, and FT for Mandelson/McSweeney

Yeah I know that look. That’s the face of a guy who is thinking to himself that he’s raped children the ages of every one of those she just listed.
