Conservatives "borrow and spend" to fund their "unlimited government." They celebrate hatred of their neighbors - Canada, Mexico, immigrants, women. They openly violate over half of the ten commandments they claim we should all be forced to live by. So if conservatives have values, what are they?

Here’s what’s happening: they are using religious faith in a very similar way to how Putin uses the Russian Orthodox Church. In their hands it is an instrument of political power, wielded to help keep people in line.

Trump’s pointless trade wars always hit Tennessee especially hard 🇨🇦

At best, "Medicare for All" is more than 5 years away. But did you know that 2 votes could save over $300B a year and create universal healthcare NOW? 1. Repeal both ICE funding and safety net cuts in the OBBBA 2. Expand direct payments to providers. drive.google.com/file/d/1rPiT...

Dolly Parton was the best of us.  She was an American treasure — a rare embodiment of talent, kindness, and generosity in equal measure.  We’ll always love you, Dolly.

Reminder: Dolly Parton helped fund the Moderna vaccine for COVID.

I’ll always remember Dolly Parton for the fact that she donated $1 million in 2020 to the research that led to Moderna’s COVID vaccine, as well as millions more for childhood vaccine and cancer research. She was an immensely talented, kind, and giving person.

East Tennessee's TV stations are in rolling coverage, and the anchors are fighting back tears.

Dolly Parton’s incredible talents as a singer and songwriter were matched by her generosity and empathy. For decades, she dedicated herself to encouraging literacy, funding disease research, and giving back to her community.

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

My heart is breaking. In addition to her musical talents, she was an exemplary human being. R I P Dolly Parton www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/a...

Translation: Congress is over. Republicans have scrapped it. It is now as useless as the Russian Duma. Sad. 🇺🇸

Good one!

l.smartnews.com/p-8dvH8XxC/H... Cray😜Cray "Trump has argued that the US needs to ACQUIRE GREENLAND for national security purposes, arguing that if he doesn’t take it, American adversaries, namely Russia and China, will." Independent 🚨SAVE the🌍from TRUMP🚨 VOTE💙 #Pinks

Voter roll purges are necessary to remove people who have passed away, moved or otherwise become ineligible to vote. But sometimes purges can erroneously include thousands of eligible voters. As the Trump administration ramps up its attacks on voting, it’s time to check your registration status:

Totally agree. Pack your bags, you bunch of pathetic fucking losers.

US home prices just hit an all-time high with 30-year mortgages at 6.55%. 10 years ago, the average new home cost $350,000 and rates were 3.5%. Today, it costs $540,600 and rates are 6.55%. Meanwhile, 49% of Americans under 30 now live with a parent, up from 37% in 2019. Crazy numbers.

Americans are united in the bipartisan rejection of expert opinions. Right, left, and center intentionally ignore scientific and economic principles that contradict their chosen ideology. The legal profession owes much to Cicero, but Roman leadership executed him to avoid listening to him.

Our founders hope was that we would counter each other with ideas and arguments. Instead, we now counter each other with condescending insults and racial epithets. After all, calling them evil does not make us good. But it does keep us from seeing the evil we need to address in ourselves.

US national debt just hit an all-time high of $39.5 trillion. $11 trillion of America’s debt was added while President Trump was in office. That’s 28% of the entire national debt, more dollars added than under any other U.S. president in history.

So Tennessee's governor can invade Memphis but Kentucky's governor can't go find out if their senator is alive? @govandybeshear.bsky.social

Today will be a very good day to avoid this site. Peace.

It is important to remember that we the people are the ultimate democratic check. We must take back control of an out of control government. Do you believe ICE should be abolished as I do? Advocate for it. Write/call your rep. Join a group or start one calling to abolish ICE. Congress has the power

Great locally. Terrible nationally. We deserved a better 250th

Last year, Trump and Republicans celebrated the nation's birthday by cutting healthcare for over 8 million Americans. Republicans are making life HARDER for the working class, not easier.

Trump policies mean that the US is ceding the field in clean energy to China, while doubling down on the dirtiest, most dangerous fossil fuels.

Time to reject this imperial presidency with it tech bros oligarchy and it's kangaroo supreme court. Good, bad or otherwise, Congress does at all times represent the will of the people. No royalty without a peasantry. If we don't step up this Fall, then we and MAGA will become that peasantry.

There are 3 tribes of blue - Democrats who complain about Trump (liberals) - Democrats who complain about Democrats (progressives) - Democrats who complain about Democrats who complain about Democrats (centrists) Maybe they could unite to repeal/replace a bill despised by 80% of the country?

When you think you're above the law ... Vought belongs in prison.

That’s just one small example of unforeseen side effects (any many are far worse), but considering that it’s the only thing making certain people rethink anything, I think it’s one we should say right now. Racism is making your life worse right now, even if you or your family are white.

The Deep South is the epicenter of the rural healthcare crisis in America. Smart, engaged state policymaking could fix it, Ashley Cleaves writes. But without fair maps, there’s no way for most Black voters to elect candidates who are motivated to act. https://bit.ly/4vxHhOx

Perhaps the one man more delusional than Trump. He also seems increasingly desperate to me.

Abortion rates always go up when GOP controls the Whitehouse. It's political for them. We'll soon hear it again: "Pro-life! Pro-life! Pro-life! Tax cut." We all use "victimhood" to advance political agendas. Theirs just happens to be abortion. "Vote DEM" to actually reduce number of abortions

The next pandemic is coming. Trump has eliminated the surveillance systems, research programs, and workforce needed to stop it. New @amprog report on America's self-inflicted vulnerability: www.americanprogress.org/article/how-... S/O to my coauthor Dean Perry Halkitis @rutgerssph.bsky.social

They’re asking for VOLUNTEERS to screen for Ebola at airports. This is what happens when you let someone like RFK Jr gut the CDC. They should have a dedicated team trained to handle deadly pandemics. Hazard pay should be automatic. This is alarming and enraging.

ICE must be abolished. By the next Congress. They have the power if they will use it. Congress needs to re-assert itself as the Article I branch on so many areas. This would be a great place to start.

Recent gerrymanders are Russia (Hungary) "lepestkovaya narezka" (petal splitting) of cities. Putin always wins due to how districts are drawn. Which impoverished Rural Russia. Emerging US autocracy using Southern racial animus to do the same to GOP's rural constituents. youtu.be/LnaCe1ZMODA?...

Don't overfocus on trump. In many situations, he's a smoke screen for what's actually going on. There is a plan, yet many of us do not understand what is happening now, why, and what is next. Hopefully, this video will help with all 3: BE SURE AND STAY FOR THE EPILOGUE! youtu.be/GAyQniannd8?...
