I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.

Jesse Ventura: “If Donald Trump would have gone in the military, he would have been the guy that wet his bed, cried for his mom, went hysterical, and would be carted out in the middle of the night. The man’s a coward. He’s a bully. All bullies are cowards. That’s why they’re bullies”

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

Is it an insult to call someone a "fresh person"?

At some point after the election there'll be a lot of pieces puzzling out how the Republicans got away with being so generously funded by a notorious white nationalist and it wasn't treated as a big, problematic issue. From the same reporters currently not treating it as a big, problematic issue.

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"

The racist condescension of a goofy dork like JD Vance expecting "gratitude" from an accomplished, hard-working man born and raised in the US, who was a high school football star, a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and an epidemiologist--all because Abdul El-Sayed isn't pallidly complected like Vance.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. Dems need to be on the side of the many, not Big Money.

The Trump administration’s actions resulted in the destruction of the largest ancient Cottonwood tree on Indigenous territory in Arizona. This tree, known as the “Grandmother Tree,” was 250 years old.

Georgia’s economy is 40X larger than Lebanon’s, yet they have shorter life expectancy. That should break every one of our hearts. Republicans keep blocking Medicaid expansion while families go without care. Remember who made that choice when you vote. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

A tax researcher who looked into it called it a “trifecta of tax avoidance”; property, income, and sales tax, all eliminated. She is buried here, alone and forgotten for all eternity, to save Donald Trump tax. That is the kind of man he is.
