@kenmartin.bsky.social the DNC needs to be funding billboards everywhere. They're among the most effective means of messaging now. "Trump was recruited as a Russian Asset in '87, codename Krasnov." Put that up on billboards on every major highway. You'll start to decay his image.

It's more than a little bizarre that the press was more vocal and judgmental about Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal than the current unscheduled rapid disassembly of our entire democracy and civil service.

It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

I've been trying to place exactly why I feel so sick about Trump telling Zelensky he's flirting with World War 3. I think I placed it. It's because Trump has allied the US with Russia. He's threatening Z by saying the US would be the ones dropping nukes onto Ukraine and Europe alongside Russia.

Why don’t you wear a suit?

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

🚨 I asked ChatGPT to give me a new assessment of our situation this evening. 1-5% chance of democracy surviving VS. 75-85% full authoritarian takeover That 1-5% only happens if we have full economic collapse or international intervention. 🚨 Transcripts to come.

Even AI knows that Trump is bad for democracy. "If democracy requires constant intervention to survive, then Trump is inherently harmful to it." #resist

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers 2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

As Trump says he is going to occupy Gaza and drive out every Palestinian, after Biden completed the ceasefire deal, I'm wondering how many Palestinians are grateful to all the self righteous grandstanders who protested the last admin to help ensure that Trump gets elected.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

@kenmartin.bsky.social what are you doing to ensure a surprise win in FL-1, FL-6 and NY-21? Every resource the DNC has, every ground game volunteer needs to be out for these. Catch the GOP off guard. If Dems win these, they get the house and save the country.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

SCORCHING HOT HISTORICAL/POLITICAL TAKE: People who treat other groups of people with fear, disgust, hatred, or persecution based on innate characteristics never turn out to be right.

here's audio of Trump saying he wants to "clear out" Gaza and move Palestinians elsewhere

They really are.

Same vibes

Utah Jazz fans, are we going to talk about how Kessler's girlfriend was just named Miss America? www.eonline.com/videos/23999...

I’m assuming Matt Gaetz disclosed his illegal drug use on his application to purchase firearms, right? If not, hear the Republicans think that’s a serious crime that deserves serious consequences.

"from copious data in both the United States and abroad, that heightened autism prevalence does not correspond to childhood immunizations" www.nytimes.com/2024/12/23/h...

Surprise!

Trump and allies are waging campaign against media to stifle dissent – experts

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

Finally, a nomination we can collectively laugh at without having to worry about the end of civilization.

I tried to contact the DNC to raise alarm bells about Trump's attack on the first amendment and got this screen and well that about sums it up doesn't it

Why doesn't the left have any mechanism to get loud with outrage about a president elect boisterously threatening the first amendment???

Vaccine misinformation distorts science – a biochemist explains how RFK Jr. and his lawyer’s claims threaten public health

"A former FBI informant pleaded guilty on Monday to lying about a phony bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter that became central to the Republican impeachment inquiry in Congress."

The ex-FBI informant who accused President Joe Biden and his son Hunter of netting millions of dollars in bribes from Ukrainian energy company Burisma has admitted that the whole story was a dud.

What is up with AP voters in NCAA basketball? Utah State is 9-0, with some nice quality wins, a massive +/-, & many players returning from a team that won an NCAA tourney game last year. They are 19 in NET. Yet, they are ranked 34th. The only unbeaten outside the top 25. That's just weird.
