Just print this out and pass them around while at the grocery store. 😏

Check your ballot. Tennessee, Dolly Parton’s sister said that they changed her ballot every Democrat she voted for was changed to a Republican. She took it to the pole watcher and they issued her new ballot, but that’s been happening to a lot of people in Tennessee so check your ballot!

The reason you need to vote early is because of why people were turned away at the polls in Collin County, Tx.

I dunno... I'd say if you're worried about dangerous immigrants start here with Musky.

It's embarrassing I only knew of two of these examples. We need much more accountability or this simply continues...

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

While the world burns, some of us muddle along with different kinds of grief. katialee.substack.com/p/one-person...

I love that for them.

Some thoughts from May 2021 — and an article to go with it. This nightmare was preventable. They didn’t want to stop it. Article: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/a-public-f...

Something is deeply wrong when Trump’s net worth is skyrocketing but families across the country can’t afford gas, groceries, and health care. Donald Trump’s culture of open corruption is leaving Americans out to dry while he and his friends get rich.

I've often shared @sarahkendzior.bsky.social essays but this one is a must to anyone who values The Fourth Estate ... such as it is. Because our democracy relies on it. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/gutting-th...

"Paywalls are toll roads to a gated community, one that the average American cannot afford to enter in an era of inflated prices and deflated expectations. Democracy relies on an informed citizenry."

This didn't happen. What actually happened is that Russia deliberately bombed several American businesses in Ukraine. ​The Bunge oilseed plant was hit right after Senator Blumenthal's visit in a twisted demonstration of power.

About the approval ratings for the diapered narcissist pedophile president. A 33% approval? Someone explain how that's even possible. Do that many people not watch news outlets other than Fox? Do they not drive? Or buy groceries? Or have medical bills? Or a moral compass?

This was an **exceptional** episode. For everything @karaswisher.bsky.social had to say and for this nugget of information: Mitch McConnell made $43,500 while absent from his job for 92 days. The average income of his constituents in KY is $35,821 a year.

Nothing like starting "Why Brains Need Friends" by @dr-brein.bsky.social to illustrate how caregiving isolation wreaks havoc on your system. katialee.substack.com/p/summer-of-...

I love that the caption for that half a jet calls it “damaged.” As if we just need to bang out a few dents.

The thing you want to do right before an election where your party is on the ropes is get into a knock down, drag out fight over getting your name on another guy’s memorial. Real kitchen table stuff there.

I remain convinced that the most effective response to a politician or a pundit who's pushing transphobia is "I'm not sure why you're obsessed with other people's genitals but it's really creepy"

The fact Donald Trump told his supporters last night to "Cheat like hell" in 2026 election BUT that isn't the headline nationwide shows you again how corporate media is complicit.

In grief everything is difficult. I figured there was no sense in trying to do it all by myself... If you live in Columbia SC let me know if you have contacts that can help! Thank you! katialee.substack.com/p/this-is-me...

Todd Blanche told me privately that he “made a mistake” creating the MAGA slush fund. I asked him about it under oath. And he lied to Congress. His willingness to casually lie under oath shows how far he will go to avoid offending his only boss: Donald Trump.

Had to work in Bradbury's story set on today's date, but serendipitously heard @doctorow.pluralistic.net On the Media interview. Today's essay is less an essay more a primer/resource guide to AI and the enshittification of it all. katialee.substack.com/p/the-future...

Odyssey this. Odyssey that. We Odyssey ICE abolished.

Mitch McConnell is dead. Apparently so is investigative journalism.

This is a distraction. They want someone to blame, instead of taking responsibility. Trump's administration dismantled the safeguards the Obama administration left in place for covid-like viruses spreading. I'm so fucking tired of these morons creating villains to hide their own brutal incompetence.

Doctors and others are sounding an alarm: More U.S. children have been drowning in recent years.

Curious as to why Trump has turned America's 250th anniversary into a spectacle-ridden vanity project? Lucky for you, we have an entire magazine issue dissecting why the president wants to control the country’s future by rewriting its past. Check it out: tinyurl.com/amvd6ja4

Well holy shit. This is what I needed. You may as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A87o...

Here is Elon Musk bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts (DOGE never fully restored the canceled contracts)

I thought I was on top of all the crimes, turns out I missed a few in between. We really need: Impeachment. Corruption hearings. Truth and Reconciliation hearings. Some fucking accountability!

At least Nosferatu is there representing the undead.

I really hope someone (@housedemocrats.bsky.social?) has been keeping track of the grifts, thievery, emoluments, so when we prosecute we can get it all back for the great unfuckening we'll need to do.

A House subcommittee is meeting to redraw our Congressional map. New map could secure all 7 Congressional districts for Republicans while diluting the voting power of Black voters. Livestream: https://www.scstatehouse.gov/video/stream.php?key=16547&audio=0

In his 2nd Inaugural, Abraham Lincoln delivered what might be the most devastating rebuttal to the Both Sides lie in history. "Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came."

This makes The Pelican Brief look like child's play.

Several federal agencies have attempted to create national databases of Americans' private data, violating the law and the Constitution—all to consolidate power under President Trump. So you bet CREW is filing legal actions every chance we get.

Why no consequences if consequence shaped?
