There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.
Sen. Slotkin: “I'm not going to be intimidated out of standing up for the rule of law.”
Caption: For nearly a year, Trump has targeted Senator Slotkin for one reason: she defended the Constitution & called out his corruption.
Trump is literally waving at imaginary people now. On his way to another hate rally in Kansas, he suddenly stopped and started waving and saluting at people who weren’t there. Yes, this is real. And thank you for that perfect finale zoom-out, Mr. Nice Cameraman.
If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia.
If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia.
If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.
REPORTER: “Trump’s popularity is very low, diesel prices are very high, the war he started isn’t going well… is he using you as a scapegoat for his own problems?”
ZELENSKY: 🙃🤐 (this is a YES)

The maple-trees are turning —
Their flames leap ever higher;
All day my heart is burning
In the rose-colored fire.

The clear sky and water melt in the autumn hue.
Far, far away from the unclean, tumultuous world,
White clouds and red leaves move leisurely.

Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday
Don’t let yesterday’s worries steal today’s possibilities.
A new day brings new chances, little moments of happiness & perhaps something wonderful you weren’t expecting.
Keep your whiskers up & your heart open
Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."
El-Sayed: "I was a junior in HS on 9/11, sitting in my chemistry class. I watched as people started to point to people of my faith & say exactly the kinds of things that Rogers was saying. If that's his entire campaign strategy, you have to imagine how small minded he thinks Michiganders are."
I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .
I miss having a president.
I mean a REAL president -- someone who works and lives the position.
Someone who doesn't shame us but instead is always a person to respect and be proud of.
Someone like Barack Obama.
It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.
