Corporations are not people.

The right to vote is one of the most fundamental parts of our democracy. Check your voter registration at IWillVote.com and make a plan to vote early or on Election Day on November 3.

Ed Sheeran needs to learn that if you don’t “pick a side”, you’re picking the side of the oppressor.

Every single time.

It’s that simple.

This is some third world shit they're pulling. If you can't lose an honest election gracefully, you're actually a Republican and certainly not either a small or capital D Democrat. GTFO. You're showing your ass that you're only in this for power not to serve your constituents.

Well done monkeywrenching. In other news, how do you feel about being spied on all the time?
NEW: Hackers ripped down a Flock camera above a roadway, made a near-complete copy of the data stored inside it, and shared the files with 404 Media and @wired.com, revealing in new detail how exactly Flock Safety’s cameras track the movements of both vehicles and people.

Hey, this is actually a significant win for us. Especially considering how many Dem members of the Senate took a ton of big crypto money. It was really important to stop this and I’m super glad that Dems got their shit together and obstructed this corrupt bill.

The Senate voted not to advance legislation that would confer financial legitimacy on the crypto industry.

Action alert for New Yorkers! Our Governor, a Democrat, Hochul is about to betray NY's public schools by doing the bidding of the Right and billionaires, opting into new federal vouchers. @npeaction.bsky.social is part of a coalition to stop this. Rally today, 10:30am NY time! @UFT headquarters!

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to:

1) Help get out the vote.
2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference.
3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism.

We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

This is the face of an abuser being asked a question he doesn't like, by a woman. That's all. And that's his reaction. He's a piece of shit. Rapist, abuser, cheat, liar, grifter. Why is he still president?
The face of Trumpian authoritarianism, intimidation and violence.

ICE must be defunded and disbanded. DHS is is a domestic agent of the terror it was supposed to fight. Dissolve it.
The degree to which ICE has ramped up in North Jersey recently cannot be overstated.

Yesterday, ICE kidnapped four people a block from an elementary school at dropoff time in Montclair.

This is after mass raids in Passaic, Ironbound and Kearny.

Yep, he doesn't sue because he's terrified of what would come up in discovery. You have to prove accusations aren't true before you can win a suit for defamation. That's why E. Jean Carroll won her defamation case. Because she wasn't lying about what he'd done to her.
Notice how often we say this and not a single person has been sued? Hmm..

This right here. If you're okay with policies that make peoples' lives harder, no matter who they are, there's something wrong with you, and you're certainly not Christian.
