"Witnessing such a young elephant lose its life to trophy hunting is a painful reminder of why we cannot allow this to continue.Together, let's demand stricter regulations and an immediate ban on trophy hunting. Our wildlife deserves better. #BanTrophyHuntingNow"

Dr. Mazen Al-Rantisi, known as the “Doctor of the Poor” in Ramallah, has been released after four months in Israeli prisons. His face bears visible signs of alleged torture and abuse. (Ramy Abdu)v

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.

And as long as the AG works for Trump he knows he won't be held accountable and prosecuted. Sadly, unless we have a super majority come January and can impeach and remove them all, I don't see how this will change.

Republicans should ditch the elephant and just use a silhouette of a man chasing a little girl as their party symbol.

My latest: "Now that Donald Trump feels comfy staging a pre-election law enforcement raid against someone who hates him, let’s schedule a quick search of Melania’s residences for records pertaining to her curious immigration to the United States, shall we?" Read, share, subscribe. It's all free.

russia is importing diesel from IRAN Trump is directly funding the IRANIAN MILITARY

If Democrats win, johnson will not be speaker at the point where they are swearing in the new Congress. They are sworn in by the speaker elect, who is chosen by the member elects

Run Hogsbreath, run!

TEXAS — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping on the streets? The reason poverty exists is not because we can’t feed the poor, it’s because we can’t satisfy the rich.” (From @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social )

My 2027 health care plan renewal from Tufts: they raised my co-pay to $60 to see a doctor, out of pocket costs now $7150, outpatient/in patient by 150%, got rid of the OTC benefit, slashed dental, gym and vision benefits by half. Trump's BBB in action. @physiciandemocracy.medsky.social

Pete Hegseth is what happens when no one has ever told you to shut the fuck up.

It’s still funny to me that the US had a presidential election that was basically like “Should the US kill itself” and “Yes” won (2024)

I love this kid.

No country needs regime change more than America does.

Anais Mitchell is genius. My favorite Broadway play. Or, in my case being from Boston, "off" Broadway.

Attacking Jeffries is not “attacking Democrats during an election.” It’s “rooting out traitors during a war.”

💯

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

In related news some crap was flushed down a toilet.

I love this poem...and miss my father. www.facebook.com/share/v/19Li...

So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh

Does anyone know what wine pairs best with cooked goose? Asking for Jeanine Pirro

RFK Jr.: “You probably don’t understand this as you’re not a scientist.” Dana Bash: “You’re not a scientist either.”

BREAKING: Todd Blanche has released what he calls a rescission of the slush fund (left). The last lawsuit he mentions is mine (Gill v DOJ). This doesn't change the fact that the "settlement" setting up the fund is still in effect. On the right, Blanche is LEAVING IN PLACE Trump's tax immunity.

lol

This is what Democratic Socialism is about. Terrifying isn’t it? 👇🏽

[Republicans push grandma off a cliff.] Media: “Why didn’t Democrats install a railing?”

The caller on Rand Paul’s virtual town hall is all of us.

BREAKING WSJ: The Trump admin plans to end a subsidy program that helped hold down premiums for Medicare drug plans — a move that could leave many seniors facing higher rates for their prescription coverage next year.

Trump wants to use USPS to restrict mail voting. And he’s going all the way to the top. “The government is at the U.S. Supreme Court trying to effectuate what they have not been able to get through Congress,” @marcelias.bsky.social says. Stay informed. Fight back: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

The perfect portrait of a sociopath.

When the community note proves that the reason the initial post made him sound like a piece of shit is because he's a bigger piece of shit than the initial post made him out to be.🤷‍♂️

Never seen jokes bomb this bad as Trump's at the WHCD. The US military should drop Trump's jokes on our enemies.

We need new leadership. Hakeem Jeffries announced his opposition to an amendment by Rep. Thomas Massie to cut $3.3 billion in military aid to Israel, coming shortly after reports highlighted a record $149,300 earmarked contribution from AIPAC's PAC to his joint fundraising committee. Fuck this guy.

If you want to know what kind of people kept their newspaper jobs in Nazi Germany, look at who’s attending tonight’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

@govandybeshear.bsky.social find your spine.

I'm dog-sitting my sister's two dogs. I pulled off two small pieces of rotisserie chicken to give them each a piece. Apparently one was 2.37 ounces and the other was 2.42 ounces. That's when all Hell broke loose.

This Ogre motherfucker got something to say about Mamdani?! Dude doesn’t even own pants with a button.

Mamdani: "What we've seen over many decades is a fearmongering in our politics where anything that we disagree with or anything that portends significant change is described as if it is socialist, at times as as if it is communist. And the intent of that is to end the conversation

Thou shalt not blame Canada for wildfires caused by climate change you’ve spent your whole life denying and intensifying through your own greed and stupidity.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
