"The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." --The Treaty of Tripoli, unanimously ratified by Congress on June 7, 1797

Sherrod Brown is fighting for fair wages, affordable health care, and consumer rights. It is time to stand up to corporate special interests and support his path back to the Senate. Support Sherrod Brown for Senate.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The wrong people keep dying.

A most admirable vision! While governments were occupied with dividing the Earth, a television program dared imagine mankind united among the stars. The greatest invention is not a vessel capable of reaching distant worlds, but a civilization wise enough to travel together.

I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.

Russia is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity by intentionally attacking civilian infrastructure – including vital energy systems – in Ukraine, an independent UN investigations panel said on Monday.

wins. What more cheating will they attempt?

Friday's Thought - SCOTUS rules New Hampshire can deny student ids as a form of ID 2 weeks before an election. Thus likely denying some the right to vote and allowing a poll tax. Then The Felon instructs DOJ to file a lawsuit to deny certification of the Alaska Senate race only if the Democrat

Mike Rogers was just caught on tape talking about how he wanted to make sure that there were retired cops who could intimidate voters in the city of Detroit. We deserve the right to vote. People have fought and died for that right. No more election deniers.

Yes, I know they reported the $5,000 bribe. The new bit, "And if we lose, you get nothing. You're gonna get nothing! If we lose, you get nothing. Make it a lot easier vote," is missing and seems to be significant.

President of the United States dangling a bribe, telling the crowd they'll miss out on that bribe if they don't vote for his goons. Not news, according to our Prestige Press.

If you only read the New York Times or watch CNN, you have no way of knowing this happened.

A very vocal subset of leftists has argued, in every election since 2016, that people who want more progressive policy should withhold their votes from Democrats. Such people do not have your best interests at heart. Or even their own. Vote blue and ignore anyone who tells you not to.

Back in July, I analyzed the immigrant detention data to find that over 600,000 people have been booked into detention since the start of the Trump administration. By the end of the admin, this could reach 1.75M people. The scale is appalling. austinkocher.substack.com/p/over-60000...

I'm thinking millions of us living outside the state of OH would have never known what happened to Amy Acton had it not been for Ramaswamy revealing to us he's an Everest size pile of excrement.

I don't mean to be willfully obtuse about this, but in watching Trump's constant idiot antics for the past forty years, whatever "charm" or "charisma" he supposedly had has always escaped me completely. There has never been anything about him that wasn't completely objectionable, except to assholes.

What could be more on brand than a republican valuing the word of a rapist’s enabler over a child victim? I mean, this is who they are.

‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

We are sensing a pattern

just QTing this for easier location when people tell me Dems didn't run against Musk

The best of the best are from Ohio (Harvey Pekar, Joe Shuster, Jerry Siegel, Milton Caniff).

Between this and Ramaswamy's bullshit it sure looks like Republicans are trying to rouse their base (rapists and pedophiles).

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

Say what now?

Our Founders: We are a nation of laws, not men. Our current Supreme Court: Let's give maximum power and impunity to the biggest POS to ever hold office in our nation.

Account was suspended awhile due to "suspicious activity on your Bluesky account... that suggests someone else may have accessed it without your permission." I'm stepping up security and suggest you do the same.

It is indeed the fucking guns.

A lot of Democrats seem to think abandoning trans rights removes a weapon from the right. Conservatives are now yelling about a "red-green alliance" and sending operatives to try and embarrass Muslim candidates. If you're defending oppressed minorities they'll ALWAYS find a weapon. You should too.

If you would rather see Republicans win under any scenario, you are a Republican, and Democrats shouldn’t give a fuck what you have to say.

Been saying it for years - we will not be able to move forward as a country until we grapple with our two original sins: the genocide of Native Americans and the sabotage of Reconstruction
