The system that exists — first-past-the-post voting, closed primaries, two-party lock-in — was not designed to serve voters. It evolved to serve parties. And the parties, quite rationally, will fight to keep it. #ExpressiveVoting #RankedChoiceVoting @fairvote.bsky.social

Democracy finds a way.

NO media 1000s are marching in DC to defend voting rights; 90 orgs signed on, Reuters sent photographers, but local media Bernie Sanders, AOC and Martin Luther King III attended Wa Post buried it A Black-led march is visible in DC only after somebody else reports it Repost the march they buried

This is what a real leader says.

What power do we have to change the Supreme Court and how do we make Democrats prioritize SCOTUS reform? We’re looking forward to discussing all of this with @elienyc.bsky.social, the brilliant author, litigator and professional court observer. Join the conversation: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Winning the midterms isn't just about voting. It's about making sure five other people vote too. The first part is the easier of the two. That's why the second part is so very important.

Whoever is in charge of the Amazon Prime Video user interface is an irresponsible idiot. Who thought that removing the list of shows being watched was a good idea? Marketing? Sales?

Zohran Mamdani has appointed former FTC Chair Lina Khan to lead New York City's top economic development agency. Her understanding of how corporate power undermines economic freedom, which she examines in the video below, make her a perfect fit. Watch.

Declare the seat vacant, name a replacement, and let the courts demand for proof of life to decide. Abusing the legal system should not be left only for republicans, and if there is someone that deserves to be the target of the abuse is McConnell.

Back when I was a young man, CEOs made about 20 times the salary of their employees. Today a typical CEO makes over 280 times more. Here's what we can do about it.

The Republican Party deserves to go the way of the Whigs for what they keep doing to America and Americans. Opening the path to third parties with #RankedChoiceVoting is a way forwards to their unavoidable obsolescence. @fairvote.bsky.social

"The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." ~ Plato

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

We should have learned that you can’t manage a public health crisis by ignoring it. Politicizing science and weakening disease surveillance doesn’t make threats disappear, it only makes us less prepared to respond.

They will even dare to protest when the urinals are installed on his grave.

Will this happen to Fox News? One can only hope. Hungary keeps showing the way.

If not needing Daddy to fight your battles for you & you win 4 World Cup championship’s was a picture

This feels like a good time to note that, indeed, USWNT is the winningest team in international sports history (win percentage: 84) the18.com/en/soccer-en...

He could make some money podcasting, the whole field is built on much less than this.

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

Some Democrats think the party has gone too far left and needs to readjust towards the “center.” Rubbish. Where’s the center between democracy and oligarchy, and why would Democrats want to be there?

Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission. And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate.”

I released an anti-Trump music album. It's called Fuck Trump! Imagine the look on Trump’s face if this goes viral and shows up in the Billboard charts. 😂 open.spotify.com/playlist/4xN...

"Trump will preside over the 250th birthday of a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. I hope the Supreme Judge of the World is enjoying this rather dark cosmic joke."

The most ridiculous, corrupt, ignorant, disastrous, and disgusting administration in American history led by the most spineless and stupid bunch of morons. The Republican Party deserves to go the way of the Whigs for this.

Stories are easy, truth is hard. But reality will always assert itself in the end, stories can only go against reality for so long. We are seeing reality do the work that republican politicians have been too cowardly to do. The Republican Party deserves to go the way of the Whigs.

Yes indeed and you'll be in the history books.

He signed an unconditional surrender at Versailles? Come the fuck on.

lmao screwworms are back for the first time in 60 years because DOGE cut the funding behind this program and now the beef industry is gonna be *toast*. www.healthbeat.org/2026/01/05/s...

Why isn’t this obvious consequence of DOGE all over the news?

The thing is you gotta be obsessed with the Nazi regime to even reach for a Bonhoeffer reference here and you gotta be an incredibly twisted soul to think Bonhoeffer’s nonviolent heroism is the tragedy we can’t repeat in that story.

Directed by Sean Penn

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.

Hell of a Freudian slip. I *assume* he was thinking of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, a far-left terrorist group. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a legendary and rightly celebrated anti-Nazi theologian & dissident.

There has never been a Congress that has so failed the American People as this one.

I hope the Knicks play that up to the hilt tonight. To hell with Pedolf Shitler.

The Knicks are home and our city is ready to show out. 

We’re hosting a free watch party for 5,000 New Yorkers tonight in Bryant Park. 

You can register at the link below starting at noon today: www.nyc.gov/knicksgame3

Finally a journalist who had more balls than the entire press corps of the USA. It figures it would be a woman who we assume has no balls, which shows us that the so called "men" of the US press are capons, not roosters.

You see how little this administration cares about you, my fellow Americans….

👏‼️ Raise 'em high! It's time the media gave Trump a taste of his own medicine. The only way to beat a bully is to stand up to him. When he goes low, give him a shot of reality, and watch him crumble. The first reporter who stands up to him get my vote for a Pulitzer. Who else?

The Republican Party deserves to go the way of the Whigs for what they have put America through. Ever since Reagan they started dismantling democratic norms, they created the disfunction and Trump is just a symptom of it.

BREAKING: Mayor Mamdani just signed an “executive order” to repeal bedtime so NYC kids can watch the Knicks play in the NBA Finals!

Reparations. Truth and reconciliation commissions. Clawback of ill-gotten gains. Impeachments. Judicial reforms. Voting reforms. Nuremberg trials.
