Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"
What the hell? Per WSJ, Ukrainian drones have been forced to fly more slowly because of new limits on Starshield, the military version of Starlink,put in place at Elon Musk‘s personal direction. Zelensky told Rubio the speed needs to be restored. How in the world are we letting Musk call the shots?
Why are Trump and his allies attacking me? I touched a nerve because I talked about corruption. The average person understands that the president is enriching himself and using taxpayer dollars to do it. It triggers them when you bring that up.
Woest word ik van deze onverschillige, waardeloze roofdieren.
Hun harteloze, op geld gerichte machtshonger over de rug van Oekraïense burgers is ver buiten schaamteloos. Er is niks dat ons ervan weerhoudt om los van hen te komen, behalve politiek leiderschap.

Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.
This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
I am angry tonight.
Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.
A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸
@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social describes how, as Republicans are in trouble in red states with voters souring on Donald Trump’s economy and his war in Iran, Trump is the only person “stupid enough to say: ‘It's the golden age of America. Our nation is doing better now than ever before.’"

Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump.
We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.
How embarrassing that it was a woman (Amy) who knew that he was so misinformed that he confused the Iowa Hawkeyes with the Atlanta Hawks.
Amy, my future Governor, was awesome! We know our sports in my State!
What a sickening display of a petulant child.
