imo the left really needs to put a lot more effort into organizing veterans, especially now. they aren’t a political monolith, and a lot of them are getting screwed over right now.

The collective memory of BlueSky, etc is much shorter than an election cycle. So in addition to notifying people when they can vote to replace cowards like @chuckschumer.com, we are trying to keep track of why we need to do this. Scroll down to the "receipts" section here:

Miller and Homan must be so pleased with themselves. Fucking monsters: A family that was deported to Mexico hopes they can find a way to return to the U.S. and ensure their 10-year-old daughter, who is a U.S. citizen, can continue her brain cancer treatment. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

ADDITIONAL POINT: I've now heard this independently from enough sources that I think it's true. A big driver of the Yes faction in the Senate Ds is the idea that a shutdown will slow down the court cases. When first heard this a couple days ago I thought youv'e got to be friggin' kidding. REALLY?

Dude was visiting his fiancé, who lives in Vegas. His English isn’t good so he misunderstood the border goons when they asked where he lives, he said Vegas, they took him away for questioning without a translator and now he’s been in a jail for two weeks.

Musk has now poured $8.3 million into buying the tie-breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for Brad Schimel. That is vastly more than any other single donor—to eliminate a state-level check on his and Trump's power. Help us fight back and elect Susan Crawford: PeopleVMusk.com

Reading through: www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w... This line just hit hard: "Remember when Musk said he was buying Twitter to protect free speech? And then banned journalists and sued researchers for calling out his nonsense? Same playbook."

When they spam your office with this catalogue, throw it out. If you see it lying around, throw it out. Don’t let your colleagues or employees order from this company. They are huge financial Trump and Republican supporters. Destroy their business. Make them shameful to associate with.

Truly incredible how Americans can go to the polls, choose a bunch of incompetent jerks to run the country, then immediately recognize "welp everything's gonna suck now." I dunno, maybe don't choose the incompetent jerks next time? Just sayin.

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.
