Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.

Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"

Just hit me that the importing of white folks from South Africa and exporting of brown people is actually, literally an attempt at a great replacement

If you're shocked about corruption in American politics, I invite you to take a gander at our campaign finance "system."

Under court order, the government has released a nearly unredacted copy of the memorandum of understanding between the IRS and Homeland Security revealing how taxpayer data was shared for immigration enforcement.

NYT: The Wisconsin judge arrested last month and accused of helping an undocumented immigrant evade federal agents was indicted by a federal grand jury on Tuesday on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of proceedings. 👉 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...

it’s wild how the democratic party is not going to change and will continue embracing the tired centrists after a decade of losing power on all levels

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

Document posted by National Science Foundation program director on LinkedIn says not only that grants are being terminated by DOGE but that they're being deleted from databases. Presumably to make it difficult or even impossible to undo DOGE's illegal actions.

EXCLUSIVE: Two DOGE employees have access to a network used to transmit classified nuclear weapons data and a separate network used by the Department of Defense, sources tell NPR.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

When people at the top talk about “short term pain” from tariffs–they aren’t talking about their own pain. They’re talking about working people's pain–when folks will lose their homes, health care, and not be able to put food on the table.

How many conflicts of interests does it take against Musk before action is done? Reading the complaints and where they fall in the federal government, no wonder he'll stay on for as long as he can: to gut them. Tesla *DOJ $1.82B *EEO $462MM *SEC $240MM #ProudBlue www.latimes.com/business/sto...

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

“The big story here is that never, ever, ever before have we seen a court, months after an election, change election rules to retroactively disqualify a class of voters and flip the results. If you can do that, no election is safe — period,” @anne-tindall.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/u...

This is the way.

Great news!! Canada rejects Trump www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Welcome, @katiephang.bsky.social!

You have been watching the greatest economic disaster strategy from an American President in history.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

I mean what President hasn’t shown off their attempted assassination trading card to kids coloring Easter Eggs

The saviors Easter message:

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Justice Riggs won her election for the NC Supreme Court. Republicans are trying to steal it.

I really admire Alexandria Braswell. She's running for Alabama House District 11 in the upcoming special election. In 2022 and 2018, no Democrat ran for this seat. Let's show her that we're behind her! Special election Aug. 26! Donate, Support, Elect Alexandria Braswell Alabama HD 11

Pussy Riot 🎶 from Russia in NYC today encouraging: Don’t give up! @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social @qm-b.bsky.social @filosia.bsky.social @gdad1x7.bsky.social @northjules.bsky.social @democracyhere.bsky.social @docmurphydog.bsky.social @dcombes.bsky.social @theogccd.bsky.social @ltwlauren.bsky.social

"The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs said Thursday that it will end a mortgage-rescue program designed to help veterans who have fallen behind on their mortgages keep their homes."

It's a cult

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.
