💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Trump says 10 million people would pay $5 million to become US citizens. Realistically, 5 million people outside the US have the ability to make such a payment, and many of them would be spending ALL their money. Forget about what percentage even WANT US citizenship or residency. It's ridiculous.

If you can't accept this truth, are you really attempting to help the unhoused find homes? Stop being blind because you treat parties like sports teams.

I wish more were aware of Reagan's horrific legacy. He's the guy who gave his running announcement speech near the exact location where the KKK killed freedom fighters wanting to end Jim Crow laws. Not to mention him turning his back on the AIDS epidemic. Nothing about him should be honored.

@stephmu00mls.bsky.social I was apart of the first journalists in WHO meetings regarding COVID. I respect the work of lab professionals. I'm tired of seeing immunologists and virologists attacked by people who have zero idea over the science.

I do not understand the logic of talkies, whonI don't even consider true left, but more toward the bottom of the Nolan Chart towards Authoritarianism and their strategy of attacking Social Dems in the US. They claim knowledge on global political ideology, but are as ignorant as MAGA hats...

Bernie Sanders should have been POTUS. While establishment Conservative-Liberals keep touting Mayor Petrle and his questionable background on race, Social Democrats like @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov are making the real points and attacking the Trump administration where it hurts.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Why do all the men who propose anti-sexwork and anti-abortion bills are men who look like their kink is controlling women's bodies? These men are as fragile as they are dangerous to society.

What a shock, no tax on overtime and no tax on tips didn't make it into Trump's tax proposal. I am so surprised.q

Macklemore hits MAGA harder than any of the Conservative-Liberal politicians attempting to look tough online (Beto & Mayor Pete). It's unlikely those backed by corporations will ever get vicious with bigots.

All public colleges and universities should have tuition, room & board, and books free for ALL students. All other first-world nations around the globe ensure youth have college education that will not straddle them with debt. The United States is moving in the direction of shunning all education..

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN

It's quite telling that every GOP influencer, Governor, and even someone like Matt Gaetz who should have charges pending against him are pounding their chest -- claiming Canada and Mexico #tariffs targeting 'red states' are meaningless. It means they're worried. Prices going up will hurt approvals.

It should be an indication that your politics need adjustment if on day one you are defending and trying to deflect a Nazi salute. Elon Musk is also the same person who says tech needs talented foreign workers. He's truly a walking example of a hypocrite. #TrumpAdministration

Let's keep it real, if celebrities like Bette Midler and other who make takes like this (that won't happen, sex won't stop) were in touch with the middle and working class Trump would NOT be POTUS. They never speak about Universal Healthcare, getting dark money out of politics, or much outside of..

I currently don't have much of an opinion on California Governor Gavin Newsom, I haven't had much time to look into him while recovering from my accident. However, I find it hilarious and ironic that right-wingers blame wildfires on him. Climate change is to blame, plain and simple. #LAFires

If you're an individual who turns a blind eye to this, or states "It's Israel's right," and ignore the human rights organizations who have called Israel an apartheid state since 1968 -- you are part of the problem and supporting genocide. You believe some lives don't matter. #BlueWave #Resist

If you come to a conversation about #politics in the US and refuse to look at data and failed strategy, why are you screaming on the internet if you claim to want change? Those claiming 'moderate' wins literally ignore how a moderate "I'm not Trump" campaign lost. Biden barely won & Clinton lost.

'Moderate' is a subjective term thrown around. Conservative-Liberalism is a Centrist position. Hilary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris all had platforms and campaigns based on this ideology, furthering neo-liberal economics. Biden nearly lost to Trump in 2020, the others lost. #politics
