Stop saying βallegesβ. If a woman implicates someone, itβs not alleging anything. Sheβs telling about something harmful that happened to her. trump βallegedβ that Joe Biden was old. Thereβs a difference. IMO Red State republicans are allegedly traitors. Thatβs the difference.

Iβm a desert dwelling Democrat. A Democracy (which we surely are) of more than 340 million people canβt be conservative as a national goal. Be conservatives at home if you wish. If you limit people where do you stop? Look up https://leavingmaga.org/

Get a rope. Figuratively Vote > rope.
FLASHBACK β Republican Paul Weyrich (co-founder of the Heritage Foundation & ALEC): βI donβt want everybody to voteβ¦ our leverage in elections goes up as the voting populace goes down.β Theyβve been saying it out loud for years. Please vote. π³οΈ πΊπΈ
Flip the story on businesses who have all the developing technology to put every single American in a box. If you are one of millions who are all for it then you need to think for a moment about when they begin to spy on your activities. Because they wonβt stop on their own. Thatβs why theyβre bad.
Big Brother is watching, but now we can watch Big Brother right back. I love that MapQuest is flipping the script. Apple Maps, where you at?!
The astonishing fact is the current fraud in OUR White House was selected as their leader by the least educated demographic in Americaβs long history. Teach your kids what a government is really for. And who itβs not for. Enriching a few is not in the constitution. Electing stupid gets you stupid.
Apparently the Republican Party has no best people. Thereβs nobody sane who would agree to work with them anymore. NO CONFIDENCE! Show your disfavor with your votes. We already know theyβre NEVER going to improve, or pause, or stop what they do. That just donβt know how. So we will stop them.
Nicki Minaj seems like the perfect spokesperson for MAGA Republicansβ¦.
Good suggestions about moving forward after the gains in the mid terms. Be pro-active. Be assertive. Work forward with a messsge you trust. Encourage your elected leaders engage with the public. Press progressive policies and make advances known. ππ»ππΎππΏ
Iβm not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Donβt share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
Whoβda thought that your bright new kitchen re-do could cause a young dad to have to get a lung transplant so he could play with his kids? And whoβda even thought for a second that thereβd be a politician come along who would take a payoff to stop a bill to make sure it wouldnβt happen again?

Basically this gives the weasels a kick in the ass. Oh theyβll be back next time. But at least liberal, and progressive candidates have a reprieve and some time to get out to educate the public. Thatβs a tip for US in our country. Start talking. Any chance you can, talk and help someone understand.

The system shows you the carrot, but most will never get it. And if *you've* had a taste, you don't want to upset the apple cart so that others can, because doing so might jeopardize your ability to reach it. perrybnewman.substack.com/p/the-cancer...
Budgets of almost all educational facilities are so overblown by sports programs. All with the purpose of entertaining stadiums full of raging fans. The percentage of athletics graduates who have long caterers in sports is abissmalky small. But nearly all science degrees go on to be scientists.
The problem is, you know this, and I know this, but a rich liar got lawyered up to bring thousands of suits against our processes hoping to exhaust the courts. So have a good meal. Stay hydrated and kick back hard. Not up in here they wonβt. Nope. Not anymore.
The president has no constitutional authority over federal election administration. Rather, state and local officials are charged with administering elections, serving voters, and counting ballots to determine who the people chose to represent them. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
Hereβs the quote for this; β pardons can only be granted for federal offenses against the United States and cannot be issued in cases of impeachment. Additionally, while the power is broad, it is not unlimited and must be exercised in the public interest, not for self-dealing or personal gain.β
OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million β and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... Weβve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."
The reason we keep failing in this country by building billionaires who turn against US is because of our stupid tendency to follow favoritism. Fanaticism builds adulation to a thing. Oh this thing or that thing is so great. Influencers are billionaires BFFβs Stop buying it.
Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: βA small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.β
Remember he buried his former wife at his private golf course. Tax Break. No investigation. (Apparently she βfell down stairs she never usedβ ) at her NYC home with an elevator. It took ten adult men to carry her casket. Something heavier than a 90 lb old woman inside?
Using the Presidency to manufacture himself billions in tax breaks through golf courses. Scam artist doesnβt even begin to describe this President. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...
A single person paying more than any other donor since the SCOTUS encouraged the wealthy to buy out government. Red states bear full responsibility for this. trump is the deal maker as he sells this country for his own benefit. How could such pompous opinionated trump crazed people be so stupid?
We must protect our historic democracy from devolving into government-by-creepy-billionaire. By the people, for the people, of the people. www.politico.com/live-updates...

One person with the ability to shut our connections down. When every one of US went all in on a digital presence did none of US think that maybe some time an insane vindictive person would flip the switch? Start to find ways to back out of that dependence. If not donβt bitch when it shuts off.
Headline should read: "Musk helped murder Ukrainians." Musk says he was behind Starlink speed restriction in Ukraine. Announcement comes as Kyiv says satellite speeds restored after days of issues. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...
I fully expect there to be the most blatant cheating to take place I will be surprised if we get close. But my ballot went in more than a week ago and there verified it and notified me. Itβs done. All I can do is urge every registered person to vote. Not ONE vote for a single Republican. NONE!
Iβm tired of the βwe got thisβ¦blue waveβ rhetoricβ¦ It breeds overconfidence and complacency. Weβve got nothing, if we donβt get out and vote in record numbers. Now, go VOTE!! Letβs. Do. This. ππΊπΈβ¨
Red state republicans enable this. trump and his rabid dog are insulting service members. Their intention is to implode volunteer numbers in the military while at the same time demanding military increases. Thatβs what countries do before invasions take place. Heβs going to start drafting your kids.
The Pentagon just approved the testing of DEWs, βheat wave weaponsβ at the border. We went from βBuild the Wallβ to βMicrowave the Peopleββ¦ What dystopian chapter of American history is this?! SICK. FUCKING. BASTARDS. πβ¨

Now, months after your Republican members of Congress slapped each other on the backs for their 3 card Monte success the bills will appear for everyone except the wealthiest family on the street. The big green lawns get bigger and regular folks pay the bill. Do not blame Democrats when it hurts.
Start informing yourself away from swatting at one blabbing mouthhole versus the other. Itβs about principles and doing what is necessary to sustain a nation. A government of more than 340 Million people cannot have conservatism as national policy. Do what needs done and stop posturing.
Transforming government will require making it both more effective and more democratic. Weβre doing the work to get there: redesigning institutions to actually serve the people. That and more in our weekly rundown: rooseveltinstitute.org/roosevelt-ru...

The Congress is charged with international trade deals. republicans with the full and enthusiastic support of red state republicans have given their approval for one man to make these deals with a global rival. The republican Congress has gone missing in inaction. Vote for Democrats for Congress.
This is explosive. In the Witkoff/Kushner discussions with the Kremlin with respect to the sale to a Trump-backed consortium of LUKoil's foreign assets, Trump has offered a slice of his big Alaska project to a Russian major close to Putin. The structure is designed to entangle US investments
elon musk has to be diminished. Had he just worked his brand and didnβt spread his vile politics while outspending all others by multiple times the largest donors so far I wouldnβt care what he did. But his wealth comes from US all & we should stop buying what heβs selling. Cancel Starlink.
βElon Musk screwed up Twitter, he screwed up the federal government. βHeβs just a carnival barker.β Is Elon Musk actually a good business man, or simply a good conman?

Jaredβs father, Charles Kushner, pleaded guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion and witness tampering. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, videotaped it, and mailed the tape to his sister. Trump pardoned him and made him Ambassador to France and Monaco. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...
Nobody who is not challenged by this issue in their own family needs to get involved at a community level. Itβs not a community issue. No-one will make anyone go through this process. Itβs either encourage people to find treatment to stay alive, or cause them pain because of someoneβs selfishness.
The Utah Republican Party is mailing voters a near-copy of a 2024 attack on Democrats over transgener issues. Same slogan. Same red and blue color scheme. Same stock photo of a girl at a locker. utahpolitics.news/utah-gop-rec...
If you have one Redhat in your circle show them this clip and try to define what democratic social policies could actually do for them. Progressive ideals involve growing outreach for folks who deal with issues bigger than what they can manage. Thatβs about it Communism in the US ainβt happening.
The Daily Showβs Jordan Klepper is questioning Trumpanzees about the definition of socialism and exposing their hypocrisy.
