People forget just how savage Obama could be on the stump behind all the hope and change stuff

We just got off a shift calling KS, and I have to say KS was really interesting. The vol who had the best time is a KS native; the vol who had the worst is a sophisticated urbanite. Since this is the 1st time in about a bazillion phonebanks that we've ever called KS, I don't know what to say.

North Carolina voter: I've lived a long time. I've never experienced a situation that scares me more than what we're in right now. So it's important for everybody to get out and vote. If you love America, it's time to vote for America, not against it.

Thinking of my mother, who said one of the proudest moments of her life was standing just feet from General Eisenhower when he addressed the troops at Walter Reed (where she was stationed during WWII). She would be physically ill and distraught at the disrespect.

Neil Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush, said this week that he voted for James Talarico, breaking with his family’s Republican political dynasty.

That buainess about God delivering himself in human form so that he could feel the actual suffering of his every creation and then using that suffering to redeem all? That lofty bit eluded these sadists in its entirety. Whatsoever they do to the least of other people, hey, they were asking for it.

Senate Democrats are going into Mississippi for the first time, with an ad buy of $1+ million set to start tomorrow, AP reports: apnews.com/article/demo... I cannot recall the last time the main Dem national groups would have gone into a MS federal race.

nice

Outstanding. More of this, please. Elon Musk is a white nationalist troll using the billions he made off government contracts to destroy this nation. Light. Him. Up.

“Donald Trump is a traitor. And he’s not simply a traitor in the loose sense of someone who commits an act of betrayal…Trump is a traitor in the very particular sense laid out in the U.S. Constitution…’adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.’” www.americaamerica.news/p/donald-tru...

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

We have canceled the pilot program. Every single person on this committee (all except me were pro AI when we started) has decided ChatGPT offers nothing of substance and now wants to set up a chatroom associated with our writing center manned by writing tutors instead

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk personally proposed slowing down Ukraine’s Starlink access, and Trump agreed, The Telegraph reports, citing four sources. Musk reportedly later feared backlash from European customers and publicly denied responsibility, blaming the White House instead.

The largest GOP donor is interfering in Ukraine to benefit Vladimir Putin and Russia's brutal war. Maybe Republican candidates should be asked if they support that?

Imagine working for Starlink in TX, CA & WA, going home to your own family at night knowing the product Musk sold to Ukraine for battlefield Wifi use is now being turned off so Putin can murder children in Kyiv. There must be some kinda ‘paper trail’ in your offices. Leak it now.

Obama ad for Scott Colom in MS Senate race, which could be winnable if Black voters come out post-Callais. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvXc...

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

The fact that the tree is as old as the United States should not be lost on anyone. What a metaphor.

Today is the first day of early voting in Ohio! We just voted at Franklin County Board of Elections. What a warm welcome from everyone working there. True public servants. If you are voting today, please share your photo in this thread. Photo by Jacey Schank.

Goddamn, this point by @anandwrites.bsky.social really needed saying.

Ballots are on their way! Make a plan to vote on November 3. Find resources and track your ballot at sos.ca.gov

Again, you can always detect some faint embarrassment from Democrats when they talk about the ballroom, but “the president demolished a big part of the White House to build himself a palace with bribes from enemy powers” is, by an order of magnitude, the worst corruption scandal in US history

The Interior Department is paying a Maryland landscaping company almost $3.4 million to repair turf damaged during the celebrations on the National Mall for America’s 250th birthday. https://www.washingtonsun.com/metro/national-mall-turf-repairs

Huge respect for all the others onboard, including the IDF passenger who helped subdue the terrorist and safely land this plane, despite the odds. In case you need a reminder, terrorism is bad.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

This Congress, I am proud to say that I have passed four bills through the House. Not because I compromise my values, not because the legislation is a “gimme,” But because I show up every day and work hard for our community.

THE SOUTH CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS You don’t get to profit off Black athletes on Saturday, then spend the rest of the week gerrymandering Black political power out of existence. We know what’s up! Hakeem Jeffries makes the connection perfectly.

Seconded and posted. Everyone else get aboard and let it fly.

Scott Colom in Mississippi. My understanding is that the combination of him being a good candidate, Hyde-Smith being a lousy person and massive backlash to the VRA being shot down by SCOTUS gives him a small but decent shot at pulling off a major upset. secure.actblue.com/donate/senat...

FWIW, here's @votehub.com's odds of Dems winning various Senate seats. Yellow = "extreme long shots but plausible." Of those, MS, SD & ID have received virtually no national attention...and the latter two are running as independents, so they may prefer not to get national Dem attention anyway.

There is so much disinformation about the "Super El Nino" floating around the internet b/c mentioning any sort of mechanism that affects weather seems to start a shouting match. So here's a good video that gives you JUST the info you need in under 2 minutes.

The weekend is less than 100 years old

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

Some people get into political activism not because they want to change their material circumstances for the better, but because they enjoy righteously condemning everyone who is not as morally pure and radical as they are. You cannot work with these people because they will never be satisfied.

Once more with feeling, the dirtbags won’t save us

So much of what we’re living through right now, from Trump to AI, feels like it’s driven by an explicit strategy of “we just do the crimes so quickly that we can’t be stopped and by the time the courts weigh in, they have no choice but to accept our crimes.” www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-the-a...
