Beautiful, heart-breaking piece of reporting in Sahan Journal. When this regime is gone, we have to figure out a way to reunite these families whom were torn apart for the sport of it, by Trump, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem and the rest of these soulless GOP ghouls.

Trans folks speaking out against the anti-trans triangulation of certain Dem politicians aren't "helping" the GOP. If those Dems loose it will be no ones fault but their own. You don't get to tell a community that you don't need them, and then blame them for not showing up for you.

Alex Pretti’s family holding their first news conference addressing the media this morning. It’s been 9 months since their son was disarmed before being shot to death by federal agents in Minneapolis. No one has been held responsible.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

🧵 Minneapolis early voting thru Monday. 7 full early voting days to go, but precincts in blue at/above 2022 *total* early vote. Orange = below ‘22’s total , but again, full week to go. Only 1 precinct (7-10 in Stevens Square) is below 70% of ‘22. Pace seems certain to smash 2018 midterm record (52k)

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

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.

Bovino not beating that "bitch" moniker @marisakabas.bsky.social

Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl@deardara.bsky.social

hell yeah. Bovino says that he and the Trump administration leaving Mpls was "surrender". I will never stop hating this pissy violence toddler, and will never forget him gleefully handing out tear gas to his goons like so many party favors. Surrendered, you did. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

My post on Threads about California’s deceptive right wing Prop 39 drew several insulting responses from right wing operatives, because that’s how Threads is designed to operate. It’s a right wing propaganda site designed to fly under the radar as “non-partisan.” It’s very fucking partisan.

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

This is an outstanding stat array for a TTRPG as well
