I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

I'm getting pretty stoked about these midterms. I already voted, but damn...things look pretty solid right now. I know Trump and his idiot MAGA asshole supporters are going to try and dispute, obfuscate and distract...but we're going to hit them in numbers they can't cheat their way out of.

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.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

If Americans across the country organize, meet a rigorous threshold, and also vote by a supermajority to enact a law, their voice should matter.” This stuff matters ahead of a 2028 Presidential election cycle in which big ideas will be offered by primary candidates.” Talk about #ForThePeople ! 5/5

Trump-aligned PACs are flooding Senate races with misleading ads claiming Democrats want to raise Social Security taxes because they opposed Trump's budget bill. The problem? The law didn't change how benefits are taxed—and accelerates Social Security's projected insolvency.

Elon Musk sabotaged Western defensive military operations against Putin's Russia. He committed an act of outright treachery. He is a malign force working against the West, and cannot be allowed to wield such vast wealth, power and influence any longer.

Biden handed off an improving economy to Trump and Trump tanked it. That simple. Or it *would* be—but Trump wasn't satisfied with just tanking the economy with a useless war and silly tariffs, so now we're headed toward *total collapse*. All Republicans must be voted out. This party is a disaster.

When you see all these corrupt, ridiculously unqualified and incompetent Trump officials in action, realize that it is only possible because Republicans have the majority in the senate and voted to confirm them. The only way to stop it is to take that majority away.

Milliardäre sind eine Gefahr für die Demokratie - nicht erst, seitdem so deutlich wie bei Musk, Zuckerberg & Co. ihr Einfluss. Es waren schon immer Milliardäre, die Zeitungen, TV-Sender & Co. besaßen. Und es war schon immer falsch, so eine Macht auf einige wenige zu konzentrieren.

Marina Weisband @afelia.bsky.social

Klar, gebt dem einen Milliardär die militärisch relevante Satellitenkommunikation, dem anderen die Plattformen, auf denen politische Meinungsfindung stattfindet... und dann wundert euch, warum das mit der Demokratie nicht klappt. Es werden diese Migranten sein.
