Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

A key reason for public executions: To remind you of the state's power, and of what they can do to YOU.

Impeach his ass 👇

Habitually employing unauthorized workers can bring personal prison time. A pattern of illegal hiring carries up to 6 months in prison under 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(f). Knowingly harboring/transporting for commercial gain, 8 U.S.C. § 1324 — 10-year felony.

Ken Paxton got a $250,000 donation from the chair of Texas Tech’s Board of Regents. The next day, he threatened to sue the Big 12 to protect Brendan Sorsby, the Tech quarterback who was caught illegally betting on his games. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas.

I assume what AP means is: "Lies about noncitizen voting are being used by Trump to attack elections his party is set to lose and to set up an authoritarian effort to overturn the results" If so, they should just say that.

This is what leadership looks like.

Broken swing sets? Missing basketball nets? Have no fear, Renew Crew is here. Neighborhood parks are meant for recreation — not frustration. If it’s broken, this crew will fix it. If it’s run-down, they’ll renew it. Renew Crew: Coming soon to a park near you.

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Democratic leadership would rather run a minority government than watch a Democratic majority government from the sidelines. #VoteBlue #DSA

Sickening that corporate media has been directed by their billionaire handlers to ask every Democrat about the DSA platform in an effort to divide the party, instead of the GOP platform of kidnapping, starvation, murder, and death.

Iran now sounds like the adults in the room. What an embarassment. (An embarrassment costing Americans hundreds of billions a year). #VoteBlue

The real "problem" with wind farms—Scotland built one off the coast of Trump's golf course. He wanted it gone, sued, and lost. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Taxpayers on the hook for another $200 Million to clean up an abandoned oil rig, after is owners went bankrupt.. obviously. but sure, everyone lose their shit over a wind farm proposal claiming environmental concerns… #auspol

We have numbers and economic power they cannot stop. IF we use that power collectively. #boycott #delta until they stop supporting ICE. Spread the word.

Delta Airlines charging me for my bag? That's obnoxious. Delta Airlines charging me to book a seat? That's obnoxious. But Delta Airlines working with ICE to ship people to concentration camps is COLLABORATION. Boycot #delta

Reform SCOTUS. End Citizens United. Take our democracy back. #VoteBlue

Americans for Tax Fairness@4taxfairness.bsky.social

Elon Musk: $71 million so far into the midterms. Jeff Yass: $55+ million. Two dudes flooding elections with more cash than most Americans will see in ten lifetimes. And they're doing it to protect their own fortunes. The rest of us just get the bill.

California already has aggressive programs in place to bolster studios. If Paramount makes the move, I have no doubt California will respond with incentives to help upcoming production companies absorb the talent. Ellison, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Elizabeth Spiers@espiers.bsky.social

Does he really think all of that Hollywood talent will go with him to Florida or whatever?

It takes Bezos around 1 hour to personally earn $9 million. It's about 2.6 hours worth of NY revenue for Amazon. They aren't leaving. It's all gaslighting. #VoteBlue

But think of the health insurance CEOs 🙄 Better outcomes. Much cheaper. Reclaim our economy from the ultra-wealthy. #VoteBlue #MedicareForAll

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year. The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to huge savings. /1

The are doing to Trump what they did to Carter. Hey, Washington! Two quick wins for lowering energy prices. Impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Who wants to be an American hero?

So, I guess we just force teachers to teach in person during the next pandemic because some parents are idiots...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya: "We shouldn't be keeping kids out of schools because their parents have made different decisions than other parents" (Note that Trump is asleep)

We need to make sure this kind of history repeats.

Blanche was confirmed as AG. Just a reminder: The last time a president appointed an attorney he had personal ties to, was when Nixon appointed his law partner and campaign manager John Mitchell. Mitchell ended up disbarred and spent 2 yrs in prison for his role as AG protecting Nixon.

Our representatives stopped being accountable to the People when we let big money control politics. End Citizens United.

I’m telling you, corruption is what‘s pissing off most normies flocking to the data center resistance. this kind of thing is really activating
