I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.”

I hope one day the American voter will realize that a presidential election is not something for your entertainment. It is serious, millions of lives are at stake, and the office should be occupied by serious people. Get your kicks elsewhere. There are plenty of entertainment options out there.
Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers.
These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR.
We need a data center moratorium — now.
Money out of politics.
Money in your pocket.

Michigan...
We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
You can’t build a democracy with a Democratic Party that is also corrupt. Either you live your own values or you don’t. The GOP is not the only threat to this Democracy and for those who are very sad to hear this maybe you should read a bit more broadly.
My resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision now has 79 co-sponsors. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c....
I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!
GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secre...
Democracy is dying in America.
ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.
We need real leaders - not career politicians.
AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.
Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
Virtually every time there is a vote in congress now, there are a handful of Democrats voting with Republicans. Our lack of leadership is telling and obvious. Congressional Dems must demand new leadership. We all must demand it.
The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens.
Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out.
Remember this.
In the budget discussions, Dems should refuse to fund ICE unless agents can’t wear masks, they must identify themselves and must read people their Miranda rights. Even with these conditions, ICE funding should be limited to border operations.
Stop further shootings.
Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew
Please, @larianstudios.com. Don't forget to keep us updated on @divinity.com progress here as well. Many of us no longer use Twitter X, and it's important that you provide us with the same information about your upcoming game here! 🙏🏼
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
NEW: GOP leaders in North Carolina have defended efforts to take certain powers from the governor, saying they reflect the will of voters.
Democrats say state residents are being harmed.
The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.
If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.
The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.
Representative Haley Stevens of Michigan, has filed articles of impeachment against Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for turning his back on science, public health, and the American people.
RFK Jr’s CDC posting lies about vaccines and autism on their website isn’t just misinformation, it’s intentionally weaponized eugenicist rhetoric that will kill people.
