Michael “Concentration camps are bad, actually” Gier

The point of politics is not to make more money for rich people. The point of politics is to make life better for the people who do.

Don’t be a real idiot.

With only a week until the Midterm election ends, we need to be ready for whatever this admin has planned to steal it. Attend Popular Democracy's event with me, “Election Protection: Kansas City” - sign up now: #POPULARDEMOCRACY www.mobilize.us/cpda/event/1...

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

And yet, it’s all happening, even as we have said.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

Literally all the President of the United States does is lie.

thinking about how i wasted all this money on clothes when i could have invested this money in an index fund and eventually bought a senator like elon musk

Are all of the podcast producers now just letting AI edit their shows? I listen to a bunch of podcasts every week, and it feels like almost all of them have had an egregious editing error lately: repeated segments, time jumps, hosts commenting that something should be left out. It’s nuts.

Literally the state which hosts RAGBRAI every year, the biggest bike ride in North America.

Pretty much the ONLY people who donate to Democratic candidates’ text-message appeals are senior citizens. And it’s a phenomenally bad return on investment, going mostly to consultants and fundraising costs. And this data is for Democrats. I’m betting it’s worse for Republicans.

Thank you to the driver of this Ford Explorer for making my day.

A.I. makes you dumber. Did you know that’s spelled with a B? Not a lot of people know that.

If Kansas millennials stopped wasting money on frilly lattes and avocado toast, they’d be able to afford a lawyer when they’re sued by their United States senator.

Thank you, Brynlee Chalmers of Clardy Elementary School, for doing your part to defend democracy. Your artwork is stunning. #IVoted #Democracy #VoteBlue (Yes, in Missouri, you can vote right now!)

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

As inflation hits a 4-month high and the Iran war keeps driving up gas prices, Trump unveils his big plan with the midterms two weeks away: a "World Class Championship Golf Course" in D.C. Work starts Nov. 15, closing a public course for about 15 months, he says.

Holy shit. Every single Democrat: This is the message. This right here. This is the whole ass pitch the voters in the weeks before the election.

You know how I know that it’s not a strong case?

DAMN this guy is good. We need a whole Senate filled with El-Sayeds.

I got a promotion at today’s No Kings 4 rally on the Plaza. They gave me *hardware*. The energy was high and I’m excited to see that the news organizations *got it* this time, totally understanding the point today: not just “hold a sign and be angry,” but “let’s get to WORK.” #IndivisibleKC

I did it, Ma! I made the news (website). I’m a *somebody*!

Come out and see me. You can come and see, hold up a sign if you like, or raise your hand and get trained to save democracy in one of many ways. Holler if you need a ride. nokingskc.org

Remember, he hires “only the best people.”

I MUST FIND VIDEO OF THIS MOMENT AND IT MUST BE INJECTED DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS.

“If your god only defends the people you like, your god is too small and your god is you.” -From @jspark3000 on (probably) Twitter (or whatever they call it, or maybe somewhere else, I can’t tell)

I intend to spend the next two years incessantly yelling at my reps and the Democrats writ large about the existential importance of banning billionaires.

JD Vance makes a homophobic attack and the @nytimes.com is too afraid to report the truth

Correction: nutjob premier who overrules local democratically elected mayor and city councillor and whose supportive MPP in this area was one of the few PCs to lose in last year’s election.

Toronto cyclists/residents are putting their bodies in the way of a nutjob mayor who is trying to tear out existing bike/mobility lanes to give more space back to cars. I wish I lived close enough to go support them.

Good Christian folks can and do enjoy shaming your family and they’re still good Christian because shaming your family isn’t inherently horny
