“the GOP’s multiracial working class coalition”

Yes Trump made inroads in 2024, but can we please take stock of the levels here? I just looked at the data again. 80% of Trump’s 2024 voters were white, according to Pew, and he lost low-income non-whites by ~20 points.

Yes, this is entirely in keeping with GOP thinking.

Republicans don't see children as human. They are objects, playthings, places for men to vent their lust and rage.

Can't be exonerated without an investigation. If you're convinced you're blameless here: Special counsel, full investigation, release the files in accordance with the Epstein Transparency Act, full report with recommendations and referrals for prosecution. Fire Bondi and Patel for lying under oath.

Every story out of Dilley makes me think of Rep. McIver asking DHS officials:

"Do you think you're going to hell?"

In case you're wondering how much TikTok is now suppressing pro-democracy creators who are not funded by dark $$/agencies incentivizing the platform to boost their content. Yay, capitalism.

I used to regularly get 200k-800k on my vids. It's a good day if a vid gets more than 2k views now.

"We, the people, can win"

Flanagan is the real deal. Her opponent Angie Craig gets money from Chuck Schumer and corporate PACs. Craig also voted to thank ICE for its service a few months ago(!). I know Minnesotans are going to back the fighter in this race, and you can back her here: secure.actblue.com/donate/pf-web

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for speaking out on CBS barring him from interviewing Senate candidate James Talarico due to threats from the FCC. Shows how FCC Chair doesn't need to actually do anything to get his way - the threats are enough to limit speech. WATCH: loom.ly/xhTty-k

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

The legacy media keeps getting this wrong. Trump didn't say "nationalize the election."

He said We should take over the VOTING in at least many—15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalize the VOTING."

There is a big difference.

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “It’s important to remember there’s more of us than them — every one of us can be sand in the gears of an injustice.”

Can confirm.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

I understand the thinking behind this, the problem with this - and the way influencers are covering the Files - is that it is material an awful lot of men lowkey (high key?) enjoy. It's not upsetting for them, it's enjoyable.

Releasing the Files gave a whole lot of vile men access to CSAM.

This is the bare minimum state govts should be doing. Good move, Shapiro.

@nd2b.bsky.social

Trump, miller and Republicans are working on the last four.

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured?

Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

Karoline Leavitt: “We’re moving on from Epstein.” The Internet: “The fuck you are.”

This is wild.

41 DUI arrests by a Tennessee trooper. All dismissed. 22 drivers were completely sober.

He “resigned”. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesn’t even mention the cases.

Police departments shouldn’t be in the business of shielding corrupt officers.
1/2

Yeah sure Storm the Capital, Change Laws of the Constitution, force Americans to get and pay for unobtainable requirements to vote..to weed out the (avg) of 4 illegal immigrant votes per Election

👏👏👏 Ask yourself this: are the victims any closer to getting justice because you spend hours and hours looking through the files and listening to conspiracy theory vids by grifty creators?

How could you instead use that time to organize to stop the GOP PDF File protectors and help enact justice?

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

(From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Trump spent his first year in office doing endless PR events for economic policies people hate (tariffs, corporate handouts, foreign bailouts), and people are wondering why his economy numbers are bad. Should have learned under Biden that conditions are not the only thing people pay attention to!

Portland Is Fighting Fascism With Needles and Hooks Portlanders aren’t the only ones using crafting as a tool of resistance, but as crafters will, we are finding our own ways to tweak the pattern.

Once again for those who keep denying the obvious:
craftivism is activism.

And yes, the press is covering it. Consistently.

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE.

Nope! I don’t want my tax dollars funding DHS brutality, and I definitely don’t want it paying for Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski to jet-set around the country and fuck in a private cabin on a luxury $70M 737 Max.

Listen to this mess.
