The party that once argued if we allow gay marriage, it's a slippery slope to defending pedophilia and bestiality is LITERALLY now defending pedophiles and bestiality.

The goal is to get anyone not white to be afraid and go vote in person. This is where they will have ICE ready to arrest ANYONE who isn’t white and even if American will be held until voting is over. Its not hard to see this plan, if people open their eyes...

Here’s your daily reminder that when you go to cast your ballot in November please vote all the way down the ballot. The further down you go, those races really do get closer to your front door and ultimately your wallet. Let’s turn these laboratories of autocracy back into democracy.

Ships traveling between the upper Great Lakes and the Atlantic must pass through Canada’s Welland Canal. The 27-mile canal and all eight of its locks are entirely in Ontario, meaning a strategically important portion of U.S. Great Lakes maritime trade depends on Canadian-controlled infrastructure.

Zohran Mamdani is backing a bill to hold Amazon accountable for exploiting delivery drivers.

Now Amazon is launching a $5M lobbying blitz — led by Chuck Schumer's daughter — to crush it.

Instead of spending millions on lobbying, Amazon should pay and treat its drivers fairly.

Trump just dismantled this so his blatant corruption and his cronies overseas can operate without consequences or detection. Organized crime is now legal and the US is open for exploitation by foreign and domestic criminals. Don’t expect Rubio to say a word.

I’m calling on the USPS Board of Governors to remove Postmaster General David Steiner for trying to carry out Trump’s mail-ballot executive order despite federal court rulings that key provisions violate the Constitution.

1% of the country owns more wealth than the middle class. Why? Because Washington spent decades fighting for the rich instead of working families, and Trump has taken it to a new level. November is our chance to elect leaders who actually give a shit about working people.

I see 4 major developments manifest in yesterday's elections:

1) El-Sayed's victory, along with multiple downballot victories shows a significant expansion of DSA/Sanders/AOC-aligned power in the heartland, where we've been told it just couldn't reach.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs.

If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop.

Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.

Musk is now back to buying elections. Campaign finance is public. Lets make this toxic to the recipients of his money. We did it with the supreme court seat in Michigan. We can do it again. These people are the enemy of civil rights, privacy, human rights & the environment.
