Imagine what you would do if you were not reliant on a company to provide healthcare, and if you had a guaranteed minimum retirement income. Would you start a business? Unleash your great idea? This election is about throwing off the yoke of oligarchs and a system rigged against you. VOTE!

It is going to take a whole lot of this. Be ready. Help each other. This election is the ultimate form of resistance.

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

And he sucks at golf too.

Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social

If Trump had done nothing but play golf these past 21 months - no tariffs, no war, no mass deportations- the economy would be humming along. But he’s a really bad person. And an idiot. And this is all on him.👇

Let me get this straight, Trump invokes emergency powers to ensure that the 1,300+ data centers in the midatlantic don't go offline due to lack of power. Sounds like a trial balloon. If the power suddenly went out on, say Election Day, how many swing states does area cover?

So is there anyone that still doesn't realize that Donald Trump is a Russian Asset? Buying Diesel from Russia makes no sense any other way (Particularly since we produce more than we use ourselves)

And the only social benefit is making our children dumber. Late stage capitalism at its finest

WSJ: The AI build-out is on track to become the biggest economic bet in US history, dwarfing the investments made to fund other huge US infrastructure projects — such as the railroads, the highway system and the plumbing for the internet.” (via Jefferies)

If you start watching Andor at season 1 episode one starting tomorrow, it will perfectly align to what Trump will be doing right before the elections.

If we spread this across the country, a lot of things could go right

These farmers have transformed a conventional farm with formal agricultural education and Indigenous wisdom. They're committed to eco-spirituality and regenerative farming.

I find it interesting that two of the last 5 Republican presidents had dementia in their second terms. And that their enablers fervently supported them anyway. It’s almost like there is a cabal of wealthy forces behind the curtain controlling the whole show.

Thousands killed in Nepal from a melting glacier collapse, biggest el nino in history, unprecedented amounts of co2 in the atmosphere for quarterly profits. The tipping point is already here, now its a question of if we have the political will to save as many of fellow humans as we can.

I must be doing something right. X just flagged my account with an Inauthentic label. Each of the past 5 times I logged in there I got booted out

So, we have people getting kicked off Medicaid just after the midterm elections. We have 90 days of communist level price control of beef that ends just after the midterms. Anyone seeing a theme here?

Once the opposition minority party starts acting like an opposition minority party and stops writing strongly worded memos they will start having a chance to get relected

This is an apt descriptions of Republicans now.

We need to make this the message

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.

I literally couldn't believe someone would say this. Hopefully it is just a Trump bot, but I fear it may be a human (if you can call her that.)

The last time China fought a war was during the Sino-Vietnamese War, which took place from February to March 1979. 1 month. Trumps war with Iran has cost more than every $$ ever spent on NASA. The house just passed another $1Trillion plus to continue a war we can’t win. China is kicking our ass.

The same applies to email, cell phones, flock cameras, and the internet. Unless specific prior authorization or a judicial warrant is provided, keep the hell away from my data and communications

If they weren’t so incompetent they would be popular and even more dangerous

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

Prediction for Dementia Donnie’s Thursday launch press conference for the start the steal campaign. Drink when he says Steal Communist Ever Unfair Worst At least we will all get hammered together.

Heck of a point.

Mitch McConnell did not say a single word about Lindsey Graham’s death. That’s not proof of life that’s proof of death. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1

Oh, so thats why a 19 year old allegedly masterminded a drone and sniper attack at the White Trash celebration last weekend?!? About $360M moved from secret service budget to ballroom budget to go around congress. Admin said security is required so need giant gold ballroom.

Of course Bibi is going to do everything in his power to undermine and end of the American attack on Iran. He has had Americas military since day one and is pursuing his right wing ethnic cleanse with our money, equipment and lives And Trump is demented enough to let it happen

Funny how trump threatens invasion of Iran, so markets dump, then cancels his plans and markets skyrocket. Its almost as if someone is sharing insider information and pumping and dumping the market to make money

For all the New Yorkers going to the game or who lost the celebration zone so Orange Poopie Pants can fall asleep while trying to get some street cred back in The City - don’t boo. Point and Laugh LOUD! That is literal hell for a Malignant Narcissist and it will injure him in his soul.

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

Imagine the scale if we only did the walmarts

"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables

Not wrong

ellie lockhart (she/they)@eleanor.lockhart.contact

The fact is that the most correct observation anyone can make about US politics over the previous decade is that voting for Hillary Clinton would have fixed literally everything you’re currently suffering from, and you only think this isn’t the case because of misogyny
