It’s complicated…anti-fascist, attorney, third wave coffee aficionado and social / political observer. Note to the uneducated: opposition to fascism does not connote belonging to Antifa (which, btw, does not exist)!

The board at META should resign en mass - a so-called “noisy withdrawal.” Zuckerberg would have been removed as CEO by now if it weren’t for his voting control of the company’s voting securities. That’s his only qualification (IMHO).

We must do what the country refused to do during Reconstruction: dispossess & banish those who organized & facilitated this vile & lawless regime.

The persecution of @repilhan.bsky.social just days before an election is vile and politically-motivated. I'm leading 175 House Democrats in denouncing this. When we retake power, we have to seriously look at how we can stop these abuses of power — starting with the power of the purse.

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

If voting via a voting machine double check your votes aren’t being changed

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.

You won't hear this often. “AIPAC isn’t about Peace. it’s about securing U.S. support for whatever the Israeli government wants.” — Jimmy Carter 🇺🇸 This is a critique of lobbying power of Zionists — not of Jews. Spread it.

Have you ever looked at a tormented city and wondered how much devastation it takes to kill it? How much more can it endure? Where is the line after which survivors, if any remain, can no longer rebuild? ​We watch russia raze our cities one by one.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

www.yahoo.com/news/politic... HA! Data scientist. So funny. So you predicted the 2024 election was going to be rigged and didn't mention that part or you were wrong about Trump. And you call yourself an expert. 🤦‍♀️😄😄

yahoo.comThe data scientist who called Trump’s 2024 win now gives Democrats a 78% shot at the SenateNorthwestern’s Thomas Miller finds Democrats leading in 18 of 35 races, and the Trump effect hurting the GOP across the board.

Don’t forget this Nov 2026 elected Democrats and, hopefully, in Jan 2029 an Atty General appointed by a D-POTUS and approved by a Democrat majority in the Senate. No more Merrick Garland’s…ever

Trump is trying to force Ukraine's surrender. That would be a tragedy and a huge strategic error. I'll be damned if it happens while I have anything to say about it.

This article contains no mention of the fact that Alaska uses ranked choice voting, which I think is important for people to know because THERE IS NO SPOILER EFFECT IN ALASKA. Anyone who doesn't want the Democrat to win can just rank both Dan Sullivans. The votes of the other Dan will go to Dan.

it seems like a smarter Israel could have cleverly defused Lander’s stunt by, you know, not arresting him and the people he was with

Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social

Israel’s Foreign Ministry attacking Brad Lander - a self-described liberal Zionist - by name, simply for doing protective presence, should be the final sign that the Israeli government would gladly sacrifice every last Jew in Diaspora to dominate more Palestinians with impunity.

When will America learn that all of the key “veto players” have to be on board to reach a real peace deal We tried to make agreements without the Taliban. How did that go? Israel has tried to “end the conflict” without Hamas, just the PA. Now we’re trying without Ukraine at the table? Good luck!

The challenge is not to mimic Republicans' politics of information war through deliberately misleading and caustic memes and defamations, while still effectively using the available tools to fight back and win. As El-Sayed recognizes that is a challenge, but one that must be met.

There is genuine public rage about Musk, which is what Congress is responding to, so when he says he will come for the people pulling the strings, he means the voters.

Vance appears to support rapists and pedophiles. He’s a cruel vapid corrupt fascist man.

JD Vance: "When you're mean to Amy Acton, she sics the American media and of course the Democrat Party operatives all across the state of Ohio after you. But I think a person who is more worried about whether somebody says something mean about them, that person can never serve in the gov's mansion"

Congress should take up my bill, the Stop the Settlements Act, to impose sanctions on anyone driving settlements in the West Bank or Gaza, including construction companies and banks.
