Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Keep ya chin up, youngsta. This happened to me at every open mic I hit back in the day.

I love all these new outlets with an axe to grind with DSA politicians trying to gotcha America's Mayor and only making Mamdani more adorable.

did you guys think this would make him seem less cool somehow or what

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

Backed by a GOP supermajority, TN state senator Brent Taylor pushed through half a dozen laws that superseded the priorities & power of local politicians & voters. Now, after gerrymandering split Memphis' Black vote, he's running to represent many of them in Congress. By @wendicthomas.bsky.social

pundits are basically bored by the idea that these democratic candidates are not meaningfully behind with black voters and so are trying to conjure a controversy into existence

Very glad to hear that Elon Musk is a stickler for details on contractor – government relationships. Could come in handy later.

Donald Trump has spent at least $45 BILLION on his Iran war. $30 billion could've extended ACA tax credits for a year and kept premiums from skyrocketing. $13 billion could've paid for Head Start for a year. AND we'd still have money left over.

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

Josh Turek opening ad: I grew up poor in a wheelchair so I know what it’s like to be a kid who feels like they were born wrong Josh Turek closing campaign ad: some kids should feel like they were born wrong

Two of the three replies to this post have been hidden. Both of the hidden replies highlight that as long as Elon Musk remains a fellow of the royal society any claims about lifting up Black people are bullshit.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Dan nails it again.

Israeli West Bank “settlers” have, as part of their efforts to seize “Judea and Samaria,” been threatening, harassing, beating, pushing out & killing Palestinian residents, often while the IDF just watches or actively aids settlers. But now action will be taken—against Palestinians. wapo.st/4zU4CfD

Today marks 2 years since I started HRT. 2 years since Ken Paxton and the rest of the Texas GOP lost the control they had over my life and I was finally allowed to be myself. I’m proud to say that I voted against my attempted killer today. Fuck you, Ken.

I really recommend all people who care about hunger in American follow Katie. She's the first person I go to when I have questions and want to make sure I'm understanding things right.

Donald Trump is letting big companies off the hook — and the American people are paying the price.

“A 79-year-old CO pastor who lost 35 pounds and the strength to walk after 13 months in immigration detention has been released by order of a federal magistrate judge. The government ignored requests for a wheelchair. Instead, 3 other detainees carried Rev. Edward Nalwamba to a waiting vehicle.”

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

YES: “Democracy is… a method of giving some measure of power to all citizens in a society… And when you have these enormous accumulations of private capital in the hands of a very tiny minority of people—money is power, and it throws off the ability to balance power in society.”

AI firms want you to believe their fraud bot is alive so they won’t be held responsible for the fraud bot’s crimes. But there is no gray area here, they hold the on/off switches in their very human, very prosecutable hands.

This is what they've done.

I’m leading a letter with over 50 of my colleagues demanding that DHS protect the due process rights of Ukrainian TPS holders. The Administration must re-designate Ukraine for TPS to extend this eligibility and allow Ukrainians who have fled war to receive protections here in the United States.

Michelin has unveiled its updated guide for The American South, honoring restaurants in seven Southern states, including North Carolina. bit.ly/3UGIxSz

Props to the ad agency: they nailed the "white person who plagiarises and steals credit using LLMs" look with 100% accuracy

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Donald Trump has weaponized federal emergency assistance. Illinoisans, like any other American in a red or blue state, shouldn't have to face disaster alone when it strikes. We'll keep fighting for every federal dollar our people are owed.

no, it was not a 'polling organization' !

Jesus is widely known for wanting to stick it to poor people, at least in Franklin Graham's Bible.

If Democrats win the Senate every American adult gets 5,000 ml of maple syrup

This is both an absolutely appalling, horrifying threat to the United States as we know it, and extremely pathetic.

For the avoidance of doubt, as the Brits say: haul him before Congress and spare no effort to investigate him every which way.

Sure, a point was proven. Polling is broken. But tens of thousands of people poured their hearts, time, energy, hard-earned money into something they believed in - for a year-and-a-half, and it was treated like a game.

As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"

i miss when Biden had that dog that would bite everyone

Here’s the ad that has Florida Republicans going the prior-restraint route. (The details of the grand-jury report have been widely known and shared for 2 months.)

The obsession with keeping Black kids out of quality schools is really something else.

AI shouldn't be able to fire you, fire a weapon, or deny you healthcare.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

Gov. Greg Abbott has raised about $9 million from data center-related donors since July 2025, which accounts for about 13% of the donations he’s taken in during that time.

The name of New Mexico is funny because it's one of those things that you'd think is really simple (oh, it's it used to be part of old Mexico, so we'll call it New Mexico!), but it's much more complex New Mexico as the name for the area predates Mexico by several hundred years!

“Nobody here is accusing Greg Abbott of having a torrid love affair with Elon Musk ... we have the world’s only trillionaire getting massive tax breaks from this governor," she said Monday. https://www.kxan.com/news/texas-politics/hinojosa-sues-to-review-confidential-emails-between-musk-abbott/
