Democratic voters don’t want passive or “reach across the aisle” politics while we are fighting literal fascism.

Look at Texas Democrats. Fight like that. We’ll reward you at the polls.

Stand up. Link arms. Draw a line in the sand. Tell the Republicans we won’t put up with this shit. Fight back.

Such an important point:

“Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd

I wish more understood this.

A confession…

I see why he bankrupted casinos.

Let’s get something straight first about the Fed.

No one should ever have to wonder if their senator or representative is making choices in Congress just to benefit their own wallet.

There's a clear solution: ban Congressional stock trading.

Perfectly said.

I am a little upset about what it says about the current culture and eugenics. But it's definitely a story I have barely paid attention to. King Joffrey commenting led me here.

Exactly. But Pakman is wrong on quite a few things. It's a shame. He was one of the first I watched in getting educated about politics. But he is grifty, clickbaity, and moved toward the center to grow his audience. Or I outgrew him as I got more educated. He has terrible foreign policy.

Americans are struggling to afford things.

Israel is starving Gaza using our tax dollars.

The Epstein list still hasn’t been released.

So naturally, President Trump wants to talk about Sydney Sweeney.

I am so damn PROUD of TX Dems for standing up and fighting back!!

But this won’t mean anything if the rest of the country doesn’t back them up.

BLUE STATES! IT’S ON YOU TO MOVE!

No more talk.

Start announcing referendums and special sessions to redistrict the GOP out of existence!

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

We are being “governed” by the dumbest people on the planet.

Idiots.

The minimum wage in Louisiana is $7.25 an hour. And yet if you argue every worker should make a living wage you’re called as radical. America, something is wrong.

Most people don't understand this is the case due to constant lies published in the media.

Spread the word.

Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President should not be allowed to trade stocks.

Ban insider trading now.

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

Northern California Safeway Strike Looms as Labor Negotiations Stall | KQED More than 20,000 grocery store workers could walk out and picket at over 200 Safeway locations Saturday if an agreement isn’t reached by Friday night, the union says.

Bay Area folks: for god's sake, don't be a scab. Support labor.

Again, Universal Basic Income is a good idea.

Opinion | I've Spent My Life Fighting for Kids' Health, and I Won't Stop Now We must speak out against devastating Medicaid cuts

I’ve spent 20 years caring for kids. Slashing nearly $1T from Medicaid isn’t a line item, it’s a direct attack on children’s health. As physicians, we have a responsibility to protect the most vulnerable.

Read my @medpagetoday.bsky.social op-ed: bit.ly/3ILAmOH

We are literally sitting back and allowing and enabling 2 million people to be intentionally starved to death.

We are literally doing that.

Like in real time.

Trump has done nothing to make America great.

Grocery prices are up. Rent is unbelievably high. Wages are stagnating. And people are losing their healthcare.

This is a fucking disaster.

It’s not a conspiracy.

Wealthy, well-connected men rape women and children and get away with it. Every day.

Because the wealthy well-connected men are in charge of our justice system and they don’t care about women or children.

Sans intervention immédiate, les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir 21 juillet 2025 L'AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses journalistes staff courant 2024. Avec quelques autres, ils sont aujourd'hui les seuls à rapporter ce qu'il se passe dans la Bande de Gaza. La presse internationale est interdite d'entrer dans ce territoire depuis près de deux ans. Nous refusons de les voir mourir. L'un deux, Bashar, collabore pour l'AFP depuis 2010, d'abord comme fixeur, ensuite comme photographe pigiste, et depuis 2024 comme principal photographe. Samedi 19 juillet, il est parvenu à poster un message sur Facebook: « Je n'ai plus la force de travailler pour les médias. Mon corps est maigre et je ne peux plus travailler ». Bashar, 30 ans, travaille et vit dans des conditions égales à celles de tous les Gazaouis, allant d'un camp de réfugiés à un autre camp au gré des bombardements israéliens. Depuis plus d'un an il vit dans le dénuement le plus total et travaille en prenant d'énormes risques pour sa vie. L'hygiène est pour lui un problème majeur, avec des périodes de maladies intestinales sévères. Bashar vit depuis février dans les ruines de sa maison de Gaza City avec sa mère, ses quatre frères et sœurs et la famille d'un de ses frères. Leur maison est vide de tout aménagement et confort, à part quelques coussins. Dimanche matin, il a rapporté que son frère aîné était « tombé, à cause de la faim ». Même si ces journalistes reçoivent un salaire mensuel de l'AFP, il n'y a rien à acheter ou alors à des prix totalement exorbitants. Le système bancaire a disparu, et ceux qui pratiquent le change entre les comptes bancaires en ligne et l'argent liquide prennent une commission de près de 40%. L'AFP n'a plus la possibilité d'avoir un véhicule et encore moins de l'essence pour permettre à ses journalistes de se déplacer pour leurs reportages. Circuler en voiture équivaut de toutes les façons à pre…

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.

They are out of energy and they are starving to death.

I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it.
