Ihr habt alle die Shitter Erfahrung. Wirklich das einzige, was ich möchte. Zieht daraus Konsequenzen. Blockt den fascho- russenbotmuell weg. Schlimm genug, dass der ÖRR diese Gestalten in Talkshows holt. Unsere Strategie ist die bessere.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

Trump’s whole “no one knows what incumbent means” thing is funny bc they could’ve spent months playing a snappy jingle for Alaskans like that time Mike Duggan beat Mike Dugeon AS A WRITE-IN, but instead they decided just to whine like little bitches youtu.be/LSAmk7OUg0U?...

BASH: What's the crime? AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused. BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter

“There are people who are openly white supremacists that are consolidating power at record speed in such a way that they are stripping away all of the rights, opportunities, and access points for you and your family. If that don’t move you, it ain’t nothing that I can say that can move you.”

“These actions do not signal an agency trying to pause.” Last week, from @dylanbaddour.bsky.social at @insideclimatenews.org: Regulators in Texas did not stop processing permits for data center projects when Gov. Greg Abbott publicly ordered a pause last month.

Delta is still helping ICE and there are still 2 flights moving our friendals and neighbors out of MN each week, so we're back at it again across from baggage claim 10 at MSP until 10pm tonight.

Obama: Folks say, 'Well, Abdul didn't like some of the things you did as president.' We are not gonna agree on every detail of every issue. You know who else didn't agree with everything I did? Michelle Obama. I'd say about 5 times a day she's like, 'You knucklehead! Why you do that?'

Routine medical care is often being billed at the much more expensive rate for hospital care, instead of the lower cost for procedures in a doctor’s office. That can make bills 10 times costlier, research shows.

washingtonpost.comDoctors’ offices are charging patients 10 times more by claiming to be hospitalsEven when patients never step into a hospital, they may be charged hospital “facility fees,” and their care may be billed at higher rates.

Trump claimed he heard Obama's event in Michigan today was empty. Meanwhile, the venue was packed, lines stretched outside, and Obama even addressed an overflow room because everyone couldn't fit inside. Mercado Media

Many of you are asking how you can help me in these final days before the election. My only ask is this: 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

“People are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. Were making a frickin’ fortune.”

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

Many fellow GOP politicians have distanced themselves from Vivek Ramaswamy’s brutal ad targeting Amy Acton, his Democratic rival in the Ohio governor’s race. The fallout shows that major political figures are still split on what is fair game for campaign attacks in the Trump era. nyti.ms/3WKjsqs

In 2024, a Russian disinformation network spread rumors about the then-vice presidential Democratic candidate Tim Walz assaulting a student while he was a teacher. Fast forward two years, and the same network spread similar rumours about James Talarico before midterms.

President Obama: There seems to be "no line" Vivek Ramaswamy will not cross. "There's a decency that we should expect out of our public officials. And I don't know what's happened where the standards of behavior have gotten so low that somebody can run an ad like that."

We're approaching the one year mark on our near real-time coverage of ICE Air at MSP; if you'd like to help cover our volunteers' parking fees, or provide camera gear to other observers across the country, we'd appreciate your financial support: ottergoose.net/ice

We’re raising money to help volunteers across the country document ICE flights. This helps with accountability, advancing policy, and demostrates to detainees, and their loved ones, that they’re worthy of being counted, and are cared for by their community. Please help: ottergoose.net/ice
