While in Springfield last night, I polled the audience and asked how many of them early voted. Out of almost 150 people, almost every hand went up. LFG!!!

Real question: if a criminal and treasonous president pardons other criminals and traitors, are the pardons valid? Can you be pardoned from treason? Especially if you pardoned yourself and are convicted of treason? Maybe I don’t understand how pardons work. Can you still be indicted and tried?

I guess this is one way to keep young people interested in working for Republicans. "So, yeah, benefits include 401k, FSA, a full pardon, and dental."

SCOTUS blocked the USPS rule that Trump demanded in a bid to restrict mail voting. But a different USPS policy affecting when mail is postmarked could still pose obstacles. Experts say people should mail forms and ballots as early as they can.

I think we should do things Nazis cannot do. Nazis shrink the human story of Us. They cannot expand it. I’d say we should expand Us to include all humans. That’s a good goal. I think our story is "Exclusion of any kind is bad for the team." That's a good story. www.the-reframe.com/us-and-them/

Fall is here. So we can finally talk about this serious topic... Jonagold vs. Honeycrisp apples.

Detainees at ICE's Folkston detention center in Georgia say a Mexican national has taken his own life. Detainees heard the man screaming in pain while being held in solitary confinement. Then, the screams stopped. He is the 60th person to die in ICE custody under Trump. More to come...

Burn it all down.

For our closing argument we turn to our candidate's strongest endorser, the kitten-killing enabler of child rape.

There was a school shooting in Oregon on Wednesday. This motherfucker didn’t even have thoughts and prayers.

The rich forget that they don’t know how to do laundry or shop for groceries or even where to shop for groceries. If we all die, they’re going to starve to death stinking of BO.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

"The past two years are all the proof you need that sitting out an election because the better candidate happens to not be perfectly to your liking is completely stupid and self-destructive."

Dictator Move of the Day.

Personally, I never take the NY Post seriously. I’m sure it’s a rockin’ good time.

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

I’m starting to get bored editing this USDA Eat Real Food pyramid.

Murder cover-ups by the Trump regime.

This is beautiful and caring and everything you should read today. I was so pissed at McConaughy’s announcement. How dare he? He doesn’t live a regular life? He’s beautiful and an amazing actor and so insulated from real life… @charlotteclymer.bsky.social

The DFL (and Amy Klobuchar) should consider hiring someone versed in reproductive justice. Are the people running their social media ok with banning abortion for the most common reasons people have one?

Can anyone please explain to me what Microsoft has done with Word’s grammar check?

Random corgi thing: One of my favourite little bsky moments is when @oldenoughtosay.com pointed out that the plural of corgi should be corgŵn, and then people started using it.

The president shouting "fake news" is bad enough, but the FCC commissioner threatening to punish broadcasters for promoting "fake news" like "the president is historically unpopular" is so much worse. Add this clown to the list of officials who need to be impeached and removed.

GM #GTS #ProudBlue #DV1 #DefendersOfDemocracy #Blues Somewhere a billionaire is explaining sacrifice from a yacht, a politician is making promises, and my coffee is carrying the economy on its back. Let's Wednesday together. For the love of democracy, vote. #MindYourWile Smile😁 Laugh😂 Love❤️ Live🤪

Vivek Ramaswamy is a truly pathetic excuse for a man.

Finally we're fighting back! This ad goes so fucking hard youtu.be/Gt_IZoM9KuQ?...

PLEASE confront TERFS!! They are cowards and dont deserve any consideration!

I really want Hegseth to run for President in 2028 because I don't think a candidate has ever lost a debate by doing seven push-ups before a hip flask falls out of their jacket pocket.

Mike Johnson is relying on his faith to hold control of the House. So if he loses control of the House, we can all reasonably conclude that God dislikes Mike Johnson as much as the rest of us.

I wonder if we could convince his staff to lie about the election results and redirect him back to slaughtering the 100-year-old cherry trees in DC. Maybe we’d get a little peace for a day or two.

One article after another about Trump allying with the authoritarian bloc of Putin and Xi. All focusing on ephemeral and illusory paranoia, never touching on very obvious corruption, self-dealing, and the influence of oligarchs actively attacking democracy and enjoying deals with all the actors.

Republicans say Canada is interfering in the midterms. The evidence offered up is a Government of Ontario ad quoting Ronald Reagan and the Minister of Industry, Mélanie Joly, explaining how counter-tariffs work. Meanwhile, Alberta separatists have been meeting with State Department officials.

It would actually be a waste of time to try and work with a president that doesn't follow laws anyway. It would be stupid and pointless. Congress needs to reassert its authority. bsky.app/profile/path...

My dude. Do you like the road that your house faces? What about trash service or water? What about the other actual real government services that your city or county provides with that revenue no matter how much you may still owe on a mortgage? Look outside your bubble, man.

Yes, who can forget the violent Reign of Terror (September 5, 1793 – July 27, 1794) in France, which was famously conducted by unassimilated people from third-world countries? [Checks actual history.] Oh, wait. They were French. Yale owes the world an apology for this idiot.

The Russia thing was never a hoax.

Eating the rich is only revolutionary if we also remember to feed each other.

The definitely aren’t helping Iran as much as he’s helping Russian and Israel.

Just saw an exchange every politician should note. Someone said their dad was considering Ashley Moody because of negative ads about Angie Nixon. Angie showed up in the replies, addressed his concerns & made it personal. People want to feel heard, not talked at & Angie’s response is perfection 🔥
