The American Bar Association laid out the receipts. Big donors get appointments. Big money flows in, investigations disappear, pardons follow, regulations loosen and foreign governments get favorable treatment. The article calls it an “unprecedented pay-to-play culture.” #PayToPlayPresident

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

We need to be effective. Get out and vote and take someone along with you.

Do you want to be right or do you want to be effective? Just voters. No kings. Find your event, vote early, & bring every person you know. We get to decide who leads, whose rights matter, & whether democracy survives another power grab. Be a voter!

I guess character doesn’t matter to some. Explains the situation we’re currently in perfectly and that is really sad. We should want the best and brightest of us in the government.

On this date in 2016, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneels in protest during the US national anthem before pre-season game against the Chargers at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium, objecting to racial injustice and police brutality in the US.

Shit is too expensive!

Shuler: This Labor Day, shit’s too expensive. That’s why these midterm elections matter. If we don’t right the ship in November, it gets that much harder to build an economy that works for all of us.

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

Republicans turning a blind eye to

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

HOLY HYPOCRISY Republicans when Dems are in power: INVESTIGATE EVERYTHING. Republicans when Trump’s in power: 🦗 The outrage was never about corruption. It was about who they could weaponize it against. #HoldTheCrooksAccountable

In a system engineered to isolate and harden us, protecting your soft heart and contagious positive energy is direct sabotage. Stay kind. Stay dangerous.

Yeah, I don’t trust any of the current jokers

I miss knowing there's an Anthony Fauci in charge of health. A Hillary Clinton or Antony Blinken handling things internationally. A Pete doing things for transportation. A Lloyd Austin handling defense. A Haaland protecting our lands. I miss knowing adults are in the room. Or at least non-traitors.

Thought we didn’t have money in the USA for healthcare. Yet the Defense Department’s latest estimate puts the cost of the war with Iran at $37.5 billion. Funny how we’re always told we can’t afford to invest in people’s health, but somehow tens of billions of dollars for war can be found.

Delivering for the people, the way it’s supposed to be

In just six months, Mamdani has already made huge progress on: -Lowering rent -Enacting universal childcare -Taxing the super rich -Improving city buses -Cracking down on junk fees and subscription traps -Protecting gig workers from wage theft This is what delivering for the people looks like.

Total bullshit

Lance Ellisor@ellisor.net

the 'car being used as weapon' bullshit being used to justify extrajudicial murder left and right (Houston last week; Biddeford, ME today) has to be transparently covered by media and forcefully protested/ended by Congress. we all see right through it. it's bullshit. it's evil.

This "tweet" from a year ago has been deleted by its author. I'm posting here now on BlueSky as a reminder and as a public service, for anyone, should they ever need it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So cool….. and cute!

The Leaf Sheep is a 5mm sea slug that steals chloroplasts from algae and keeps them alive in its own tissue, photosynthesizing sunlight into food. Only a handful of animals on Earth can do this.

George Conway hits the 🎯 with this brilliant campaign ad hitting the Malignant-Narcissist-in-Chief directly in his massive, but fragile ego. 🤣 I'm Mar🐫 & I approve of his message! 🇺🇸

Here's our TV ad that poor wittle Donnie didn't wike and had to compwain to Fox "News" about. Sad! I feel so bad for him. 😥🤣

Every state needs to pass legislation like this.

The Answer-Man (Thaddeus Howze)@ebonstorm.bsky.social

NEW LAW IN OKLAHOMA Data Centers Can't Pass Their Energy Costs to Consumers The law requires large-load customers adding 75 megawatts or more of demand to sign long-term agreements covering infrastructure costs tied to their projects, rather than spreading those costs across the general rate base.
