For years I've been trying to explain to people that U.S. Christian evangelicals are openly antisemitic while simultaneously support Israel due to their weird End Times/Judgement Day fixation. And now Nazi Steve Bannon just states it outright.

So the Nazi says the Jews are the problem.

All 2.3 million of them should respond "Your mom."

Ten years ago people called me the "Nate Silver of Obamacare" and I took it as a compliment. Today that memory makes me wince.

Translation: "It wasn't supposed to happen to me. Why is this happening to me? It was only supposed to happen to those I deemed lesser than me for years. I am unable to cope with being a target so I will in turn lash out towards those that have always sacrificed & demand they risk themselves for me.

Literally every single federal employee should refuse and walk off the job. It’ll be interesting to see the results.

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...

I’m feeling a vibe here that says if we elected her some better people to work with, she would be eager to hop aboard our progressive stuff too. Do something democrat. vvv

Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. apnews.com/article/musk...

"Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6." OK, but what happened in 2010?

Representatives are having a rough time answering to their constituents. Make sure you keep calling, and absolutely show up to your local town halls and make sure your voices are heard.

The reason behind canceling our “Wild to Mild” influenza vaccine campaign is revealed. “Informed consent”. Vaccines ALREADY require informed consent. And we do not consent to the spread of vaccine disinformation that could costs the lives of millions of people. #RFKJrlies #vaccinessavelives

Please keep bringing yall ppl it’s about time

@charlesgaba.com thanks for the sobering message. Florida- acasignups.net/25/01/26/how...

GOOD! More angry white people! (and don't miss "That's illegal as hell!" at the end when he talks about ending birthright citizenship!)

For anyone wondering, here's how much I've raised for the 4 most important upcoming Special Elections so far: 4/01/25: FL-06: Josh Weil $8,735 4/01/25: FL-01: Gay Valimont $6,904 4/01/25: WI Supreme Court: Susan Crawford. $6,010 Date TBD: NY-21: Blake Gendebien. $2,582

I know most people think that Schumer is a waste of space and that nothing he does is good enough, but I hope you realize the importance of what he’s doing today. 1/2

Charles Gaba @charlesgaba.com has been chronicling state by state how much health insurance premiums will go up next year if the ACA subsidies are not extended. acasignups.net/tags/subsidy... Here's his analysis of how Iowans will be affected: www.bleedingheartland.com/2024/12/26/i...

BOOM. (As an aside, having pronouns in mail/email signatures is VERY helpful when someone you're not familiar with has a gender-neutral name like "Chris" or "Sam" regardless of trans/gender ID issues)

“…this is an…opportunity for those in rural districts to step forward and have a hefty…impact on the course of Virginia politics and policies. Often times, Ds in those districts lament not having any real influence. Here is a real chance to change that.” www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

📣 Feeling helpless? Looking for some way to take action? There's THREE DOZEN Special Elections coming up (including WI Supreme Court & 3 for U.S. House!). Four of them are THIS TUESDAY! 2/25: CT SD-21 2/25: CT HD-40 2/25: ME HD-24 2/25: CA AD-32 (primary) secure.actblue.com/donate/speci...

This is a fantastic list, I highly recommend everyone check this to see if your state has a special election coming up.

Meant to post this yesterday but better late than never! @charlesgaba.com and @niema.net are the GOATs who continue to plug away at archiving and organizing government websites so people can access the data we paid for with our tax dollars. Now it's NIH's turn to be preserved!

Seems like saving Democracy is going to come down to a handful of GOP representatives more afraid of a mob of angry seniors in their district than one angry senior in the White House.

the people showing up to republican town halls are far better at "resisting" than a single person protesting Democrats instead of republicans. a lot of supposed political experts on this app could learn from these nonpolitical folks how to do political action.

🚨 I have no say in Dem strategy or "messaging," but whichever strategy/messaging they go with requires funding. Become a *RECURRING* supporter of all 7 battleground state parties at once today so they can remain fully activated YEAR ROUND: #Blue26 secure.actblue.com/donate/battl...

He’s just a dangerous individual when it comes to public health. It’s dangerous to have a guy who’s led [the vaccine skepticism] movement being the head of this agency, the mouthpiece of the U.S. government when it comes to public health. time.com/7222309/rfk-...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)
