It was everybody business when the Republicans were on Hunter Biden for weeks and weeks.. Of course it’s our business to know who, what, where, this 20 year old is getting so much money from? They Investigated Hunter, time to Investigate Barron Trump..

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…

Hey Audi

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social

If you’re thinking of buying an Audi, don’t forget that an Audi executive appeared at a Trump rally this weekend to try to boost an American dictatorship. Make your car-buying decision accordingly.

We can't count on social media platforms controlled by MAGA billionaires to get out urgent alerts. As censorship of the No Kings Coalition Instagram account proved, Mark Zuckerberg's Meta may suspend or throttle accounts anytime.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Key lessons from Brazil Amplify our people. Ignore the opposition. Use the tools owned by fascists to defeat the fascists? Meet the people where they are. May need to reconsider my staunch position of boycotting Meta for the reason. Thoughts?

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.

🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay. The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on β€œfrivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power.

Reason number 999 we must flip the Senate: Pete Hegseth could end up there without ever facing the voters. The very definition of mediocrity failing upward β€” from the Pentagon straight into the United States Senate.

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

Yet another entrenched authoritarian defeated yesterday in Serbia. As the United States approaches a critical midterm election, Serbia shows that we can win despite uphill authoritarian conditions. It can be done. It takes all of us, especially young people. Timothy Snyder
