The doctor said next week’s midterm elections will be, “the most dangerous period in American history because a man with this fragile mental state is going to find himself on the losing end.” I’m willing to take that risk. Vote out every Republican! #VoteAmerica www.rawstory.com/trump-needs-...

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

President Obama just reminded us all something very important: he stopped Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, all without firing a single shot. Trump tore that deal up, and now we’re seven months into a forever war that nobody wanted. That's not the victory we were promised.

Trump fought a federal judge for weeks to keep his Election Day plans secret. He lost. One thing he has to hand over today: the order that sent agents to voters’ front doors in nine states. A nurses’ union already got that blocked. Now the rest comes out.

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

There is nothing more patriotic than an American small-town voter rendering motormouth Ramaswamy speechless, in 2024, for 90 seconds: "You may be a millionaire, and know how to avoid paying taxes by incorporating companies in Bermuda, but let's talk about your lack of job qualifications."

🚨 Quick Buckeye reminder about Ramaswamy from Republican Chris Christie, who made mincemeat out of this misogynist motormouth when he slandered Nikki Haley in 2023. One quibble on Christie's wording (and a new #): #Misogyswamy is America's second-most obnoxious blowhard. @amyactonoh.bsky.social

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

US-Israeli and Iranian strikes have hit oil facilities, igniting fires that covered Tehran in thick black smoke. And these strikes are also affecting the Persian Gulf. Attacks on ships and oil infrastructure in the waterway have produced oil spills visible from space. https://cnn.it/3WK4twE

🚨 BREAKING GOP Election Rigging News: With broken promises to lower gas, grocery prices, inflation, debt, deliver affordable healthcare and "no new wars", Trump tries to keep one by ordering Todd Blanche to block certification of the Alaska senate race if the Republican loses.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Take Trump seriously when he threatens to jail election officials for doing the job they’re sworn to do: counting votes. “We are not on the precipice of a constitutional crisis,” Marc Elias says. “We have reached it.” They’re betting you’ll stop paying attention. Follow us to prove them wrong.

There shouldn’t be any book about Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed at all But if there has to be one, the title shouldn’t be “Princes and Thieves” It should be “Murderers and Thieves”

it's cool that you can send "STOP" to instantly block an automated political fundraising text message so they have to text you from a different number five minutes later

We condemn MS Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office’s decision to claim that Senatobia PD’s shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley “was justified.” We stand in solidarity with local community members who demand justice as we call for the case to be determined by a Grand Jury instead of the AG’s Office.

You can hear her head hit the floor. Utah deputies slammed data center protester Aspen Azalea to the ground after a public meeting. She says she suffered a concussion. A freaking concussion. After a public meeting. Protest tonight. Info in thread. More fascism that we need to get loud about.
