The Cold War never ended. It became a Cyber War. Trump and Musk are Russian proxies. Therefore, we are at war with Russia. This war is in progress. Leaders and citizens should act accordingly.
Troy Jackson: "She is the chair of appropriations. If she wants to stop the war, she could cut the funding off for the war, but she's not she is not willing to do that because Donald Trump wants this."
Troy Jackson: "Sen. Collins says that she voted against it 9 times, but she didn't have the votes. Well, that sounds like then we probably ought to have Democrats in charge of the Senate so we have the votes to stop this war and hold Donald Trump in check. It sounds like Republicans won't do that."
CLARKSVILLE: “Just give me a second, please…”
Rashidah Leverett (a veteran) gets emotional as she takes her spot as newly elected CHAIRWOMAN after Dems finally flipped the Montgomery County commission. (H/T @CharlesUffelman)

Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld
FUN FACT
If we switched to all renewable energy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall almost in half, slashing global CO2 emissions. Because those ships are JUST carrying coal, oil and gas.

And you may find yourself… a creep.
And you may find yourself… a weirdo.
And you may ask yourself: what the hell am I doing here?
And you may tell yourself: I don’t belong here.
AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened.
We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.
Wilson: I guarantee you there are 10 reporters in D.C. right now who know exactly what Mitch McConnell’s medical status is. They’re not reporting it.
If I’m Beshear, brother, just declare the election. And if they want to prove that Mitch McConnell is alive and well, go do it.
Real idea: As part of the effort to get DC and PR statehood, next Dem president should invent about State Weeks. Each of the 52 states gets its own celebration week every year. A random July week is Montana week. Tourism bonanzas. Televised lottery every year for week placement. We ain't above this.
Sorry I was absent from my job as the Baby Healthcare Slasher. I had depression for reasons that I’m sure are entirely unrelated to that. Anyways back to my job giving everyone infectious diseases and driving teenagers to suicide.
Ossoff: "The president was so humiliated in Hormuz he threw his toys out the stroller & refused to sign the affordable housing bill. That's after he gave some felon donor a no bid contract for the reflecting pool & it filled up with algae, which for some reason required the deployment of the Guard."
PSAKI: “You’re a Democratic Socialist yourself, how do you see it?”
🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “The Republican Party’s brand is fear — if you’re not afraid of your neighbor, you’ll realize who is actually pickpocketing you: large corporations and the Trump administration. People are feared out.”
Trump with incredible projection: "They cheat. 'How many votes do we need, how many votes? 'That's why they take their time. 'How many votes do we need?' 'Okay, here they are.'"
In other news: If you are russian and living in Crimea, you should get the fuck out NOW! While you still can. Russia has LOST Crimea and is blaming Putin. Zelenskyy has approved a 40-day SBU operation to increase pressure on Russia and push it toward ending the war using drones. The end is near.
Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower#ActOnClimate
A ship full of solar panels only has to make the trip once. It arrives, gets installed, and generates electricity for the next 20 years.
A ship full of liquefied natural gas? It has to make the trip EVERY YEAR to generate the same amount of electricity over those 20 years.
The choice is clear.

LAPD killed a woman’s dog on Friday. The officers showed up 20 deep w/ a helicopter over a noise complaint. LAPD claims the dog “charged” at them. The labradoodle was wearing a Knick’s jersey, too.
The video is distressing. I’ll link it in the thread.
it's pretty on the nose for modern american life that a company that doesn't really do anything at all is on track to be the biggest company in america
Platner: "Susan Collins has voted to send billions of our taxpayer dollars to fund other people's wars. How do you justify closing hospitals in Maine while using our tax dollars to destroy them halfway across the world? If you reflect Maine's values, why are you funding masked agents ... "
Democrats need the Senate to take the Supreme Court or at least block 2 young replacements for Clarence Thomas and Alito.
Eyes on the prize, folks.
We get nothing without the Supreme Court.
Grand juror: "Are you actually presenting any new actual facts …?"
Mecklenburg: "Are you going to be able to listen with an open mind?"
Grand juror: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit."

This is why I love this city. NYC. We are diverse. And yet United. We are immigrants and yet, American! Damn, it's a good time being in New York. And being a Knicks fan. I ❤️ NY.
The Populist Uprising Against AI and the Broligarchs
Five men, many of whom have been described as sociopaths, will have near-total control over the future of America's economy, military, and politics. Who will check and regulate AI tech barons?

When community members gathered at Delaney Hall in Newark to expose the inhumane conditions inside, they were met with aggression from the State Police. Turning a blind eye to human suffering and responding with force against demonstrators is a failure of leadership. @hcrichardson.bsky.social
China has developed a battery that is based on sea salt. Not lithium. It is now being used in Chinese vehicles. It’s more efficient, can hold 90% of its charge at -40c, provides a range of 500 kms, cheap to manufacture, and better for the environment.
The US is being left in the dust.
WATCH — @realdlhughley.bsky.social : “I don’t understand why a 4/5 star athlete would go to a school where the state is ushering in a new iteration of Jim Crow… if you can’t run in a state, don’t run in a state.” #Memphis#Louisiana#Tennessee#Alabama @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn
