A citizen speaking up vocerifiously.
So if Joe Biden in September 2024 had made a declaration to American taxpayers:

"if you would elect Kamala Harris I'll give every single American $5000"

...cool cool right???

Every single voter in American needs to make sure that they are registered.
So you think you can vote?

Only if you're registered!

Bad news: Many people learn too late they're no longer registered.

Good news: It's easy to check! Go to Voterizer to make sure you can cast a ballot that counts.

Nudge your friends to do it, too.

The United States secretary of defense knows how to lie about shit on Fox TV.

That's all he's qualified to do.

On a good day.

I listen to several radio pieces today on Gloria Steinham

BY FAR, the most exceptional one was done by The World

The poignancy of the stories that I haven't heard from any other broadcast was illustrated so professionally

The World is a gem

RIP, Gloria

The World is a public radio program that crosses borders and time zones to bring home the stories that matter. A co-production of PRX and GBH.

I started watching The Closer ....

... and I just had the distinct feeling that Kyra Sedgwick being standoffish, unapologetic,
moody & confrontational ....

... isn't just acting.

Native American rock artists are heartfelt & amazing. ✌🏾
In 1969, brothers Pat and Lolly Vasquez named their band Redbone after a Cajun word for mixed-blood, proudly claiming their Native roots. By 1974, "Come and Get Your Love" hit #5 on Billboard.

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment.

It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem.

History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

If TECH has NO IDEA what AI is doing, there is no way we can believe them when they say:

"Let us regulate ourselves we know what we're doing"

NO YOU DON'T
And.
NO WE WON'T.

Agentic AI CREATE ITS OWN SOLUTIONS, therefore it doesn't need humans.

A peace president who doesn't bring about peace can effectively be called:

A WAR PRESIDENT.

5th graders who are 12 years old know the difference.

They're 7 years ahead of Donald Trump.

FACT.

Donald Trump is a 5 year old.

You wouldn't trust a 5 year-old with a BB gun

He has a nuclear codes

Everyone in the world is at risk when a 5 year-old temperament can destroy the world.

Everybody can agree that he needs adult supervision

But we've given him so much power everyone fears him 🤨

Pretty sure it's not historical OR EVEN LEGALfor president presidency of the United States to just start STEALING things that he wants for himself from the White House.

Pretty sure.

If the next Democratic president of the United States of America is trying to vet people to be the next US Attorney General, the shortlist would be the 21 judges who have said to Donald Trump:

"we stand for the constitution even if you don't"
🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit seeking to compel Washington, D.C. to provide the DOJ with access to its complete voter registration database.

DOJ is now 0-21 in these cases. Elias Law Group remains undefeated. www.democracydocket.com/cases/washin...

That's not at all what happened... Feel free to dislike the old white dude... but that is not what happened.

Carvel said he will leave if other people do not leave the party.. so Bernie basically said: Feel free to do that, the door isn't locked.

Carville doesn't get to pick who can be a Dem.

I bet all the MAGA Pentagon generals are pretty fucking pissed that they put their money on Trump.

Now they realize that he is helping the downward spiral of our esteeme international security to the point where ...

.... we could be invaded by Nicaragua and maybe lose.
